Oh my God!

Fairey's posters look EXACTLY like the old Communist propaganda posters from the 1930's to 1950's! And his is a person that Senator Obama greatly admires?!

Anti-Fairey Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!

I think it is disgraceful the way he makes fun of deceased left-of-center cultural icons,

like George Carlin

and Jerry Garcia (on right)

Cheers!

The artist who did the famous Obama picture — and more. Holloween’s over, but be ready to be frightened...

Can someone send this to the MSM - Charlie Gibson - or the Washington Post or the Boston Globe or Hannity or Rush, FoxNews?

This individual p****s on the graves of the hundreds of millions murdered by those he admires.

Shame on him. Shame on Obama.

I would love to see a Fairey expose on YouTube, but have neither the time nor the expertise.

I put together a little video from some of the photos in this thread. I don't know when it will actually show up because I just now uploaded it to YouTube:

Tell me what you think of it. =o)

Yet if you or I did the same to his work, he'd swarm down on us with lawyers.

Was the 1907 song "Red Wing" under copyright when Woodie Guthrie adapted it into "Union Maid" (1940)? If its copyright wasn't renewed, it would have lapsed after 1935 I think, but I would think a popular tune like that would have been renewed (it was a popular dance tune if nothing else).

BTW, the MTA song (1948) was also based on an earlier song, but the earlier song had been written in 1865--more than 80 years earlier--and was thus clearly no longer under copyright.

Barack Obama has accepted an estimated two to four million dollars[1] through the help of Shepard Fairey, a “graffiti artist” who paints works glorifying Stalin, Lenin and Mao, while depicting Uncle Sam as a bloodthirsty killer — and Obama has even written Fairey that he admires “the political messages involved in your work.”[2]

The political messages in Fairey’s art are:
1) Communist dictators are god-like supermen
2) The United States is a police state at home and an imperialist oppressor abroad
3) Capitalism is an evil system based on greed and exploitation
4) Ordinary Amerikkkan workers are guilty of blithely supporting an unjust system
5) The only good Americans are those who fight The System
6) The communist Peoples’ Armies will soon triumph over Amerikkkan imperialism and bring peace to the world out of the barrel of a gun.

Obama has told Fairey that “your images have a profound effect on people.”[3] Indeed.

Shepard Fairey is the artist who designed the set of Hope / Change / Progress posters in January, 2008 as fundraisers for Obama’s challenge to Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Hey this is just another one of those guilt by associations I am sure this artist started his hate propaganda about the USA back when Obama was only like 30.

We can only hope the API will release a tape or something about this so it will be legitimized!
