Freaky. A combination of Socialist Realism (make that Irrealism) and Peter Max (remember him?). But nothing beats the “Obama Rising From the Waves” poster that people have put up here a few times.

For a liberal Democrat, the only direction they can go is down. (And believe me, Communism is the lowes!)

What more can be said? The Democrats think they own freedom, and they want the rest of us to pay for it.

Socialist Reality has long been an art tool of the Bolsheviks.

It is, in fact, quite emotional and effective - the Communists have shown that propaganda is far more powerful than bullets....which they use quite effectively, too.

The Right should learn from them and use the same tools.

Those posters are sick and as much as I despise Hillary I didn’t think she’d sink that low but I guess she hasn’t changed a bit from her young years.

We know where Hillary’s funding is coming from. Why shouldn’t her posters reflect it.

"Revolt With A Vote"?

Looks like Communist Party USA thinks Obama is someone who can deliver a *bloodless* revolution.

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

They’re not hiding anymore.

Their “Hope” is enough Americans don’t know the truth.

Their “Change” is obvious.

If the American voters don’t get this, then it’s gonna smack them in the face real quick.

I figure guys like us have our kitbags ready if that happens.....

G’Night Brother.

Reminds me of what the hero saw when he put on the ‘sun-glasses’ in the movie “They Live”.
