[They have a clean line and design about them.]

I think that is what I like, that and the colors. Truthfully I think we see so many of them every single day that I glance at the picture and no longer pay much attention to the text. One becomes inured to them but they remain a subliminal message.

Making graphics to disparage Hillary and Obama has been my hobby for as long as it's been going on now. I don't usually make long comments but got caught up in the Birth Certificate threads after I posted it the day KOS put it out.

The arguing, name calling and posting of false facts has upset me a lot. There was a poster called Cyberella, who posted nothing but the same three anti Obama posts for almost five months - I looked. She was banned, but we had already put some of her quotes on graphics. I think she may have come here to deliberately do that.

These quotes have turned out to be false. the page numbers of Obama's books have been put out on the web and the quotes are nothing like the 'supposed' statements, but many won't pay attention. I have read through the full original statements in his books.

That's where my word 'hate' comes in. There is outright hate of Obama, understandable, but I disapprove of name calling and accusations of things that people 'think' he did. The hate causes 'bleed over' into other areas.

Fighting him needs to be based on political issues and absolute facts concerning his 'friends' of horrendous repute. There is enough material there and he is already flip flopping on issues.

Remember the Terri Schiavo threads and the fighting that went on? Friendships were lost during that time.

Thank you Weegee for your letter and civil explanation, that's the kind of talk I appreciate. Sorry I got off the topic of the thread but they all tie together.

My 'black and white' period, lol...

I agree that the false paraphrasings of Obama’s books have only discredited the accurate quotes.

I like what Hugh Hewitt did. He played unedited excerpts of Obama’s books are read on tape by Mr. Obama. If the text is not 100% match of his book, it is his own paraphrasing of the material.

He didn’t just play one or two clips over and over. He didn’t just play 8 word samples. He played them at length.

I’ve said on other threads that things like the comments about being sworn in on a koran (which was Ellison) or studying koran at a Madrassa (he studied Koran but not at a Madrassa) serve to discredit everything in the email. And there is a basis of fact in there that the Obama campaign denies altogether. Michael Medved addresed it this week on his radio show saying that Obama’s staff only feeds the rumor by pushing the lie (my word) that Barack never studied Islam. Guess it depends on what the meaning “raised” is. I’d say if you can recite the Islamic call to prayer you studied Islam.

The truth about Barack Obama’s faith

Lie: Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Truth: Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.

Another question, where was Barack baptised? When was he baptised? It’d help establish when his raising as a Christian began.

Another of Fairey's little inside jokes to look for:

On one version of the poster, the Obama logo was modified by Shepherd Fairey to incorporate Fairey's usual Andre the Giant "OBEY" red star. It is in the lower right corner of the poster in the middle of the Obama campaign button.

That was not a hoax or forgery. That was Shepherd's gag.
