Obama has tried to make this case too. That Medicaid is Socialized Medicine and it’s been around but THIS which is an expansion of that program is NOT socialized medicine.

Either that, or Fairey misinterpretted his master’s words and Obama meant that “you are simply reacting to the word SOCIALISM, try it, you’ve already bitten the apple...”

"It's not grammatically correct. It would be 'socialist' ... Obama is not Marx. He didn't create socialism."

Whatever this mumbling is supposed to mean...

I have my doubts on the intelligence of someone named “Fairey”.

medicaid is not for ‘everyone’ just the poor. Even if you are poor, you can choose not to take it. Obama wants everyone under his control with no private alternative. No way out. That’s socialism.

"It could be possible that a right-winger finally got hip to the idea that street art can get people's attention and be a valuable way to express a point of view," Fairey said.

Far out!!

Regardless, Fairey is not proud of his popular piece that portrayed Bush as a vampire. “I think that it was a very one-dimensional presentation,” he said.


Yeah, Mr. Fairey. I’m sure that one took a lot of thought, too.

Shepard Fairey is all for free speech and creating a political dialogue, but only if intelligent by his standards and agree with him.

Fixed it.

Shep, I’ve seen pics of the old Andre the Giant posters and those don’t exactly look like the work of a genius.

This guy is not to bright. Henri de Saint Simon coined the term socialism before Marx was born. And it could be argued the concept was around much longer.

Fairey is jelous that the obuma poster is better than anything he ever scribbled in his shallow, meaningless rat life.

“”It’s not grammatically correct. It would be ‘socialist’ ... Obama is not Marx. He didn’t create socialism.”

Fairey’s mind is tied down by imbecilities and non sequiturs. What a useful idiot tool.

"I have my doubts about the person's intelligence," Fairey said on the phone from Pittsburgh. "It's not grammatically correct. It would be 'socialist' ... Obama is not Marx. He didn't create socialism."

Then your poster should have read "HOPIST". Obama didn't invent Hope.

Another Onion article?

Maybe this needs a "Satire Alert."

Or a "Not a Satire Alert."

“Obama is not Marx. He didn’t create socialism.”

What an idiot - Marx scoffed at the legacy of socialism - it was around way before he created “communism” ( tho the word is never uttered in Das Kapital itself).

It disturbs Obama supporters because Heath Ledger played that character in the Dark Knight series version of the Joker and because of the way it was portrayed. But parsing the grammar as if the "Socialism" tag should be interpreted as a direct predicate for Obama is a little odd. He's just the front man for the system. The poster alludes to the "Joker" character, Obama as a front man, and a deceptive political agenda which involves aspects of socialism.

It's not a test of grammar, as if political caricatures and cartoons follow The Chicago Manual of Style.
