Obama birth certificate as seed art at the Minnesota State Fair
the Minnesota Independent ^ | Aug 28, 2009 | Chris Steller

Posted on 09/01/2009 9:38:04 PM PDT by smokingfrog

President Obama’s birth certificate (or purported lack thereof) has been a central piece of rightwing agit-prop, but at the Minnesota State Fair’s crop art exhibit, it’s now a piece of agri-prop.

Artist Mark Dahlager glued thousands of seeds to a board to create a facsimile of the famous document, adding the tagline “Move on #&%?! Birthers.” (See full sized view at bottom of post.)

Political themes have become a staple at the Fair’s crop art exhibit over the years, but Dahlager’s piece may break new ground by reproducing an actual government document.

Why did he do it? “I actually had another piece planned, but was increasingly irritated by the birther nut jobs and I guess that’s what inspired me,” Dahlager wrote in an email to the Minnesota Independent.

“It took me about 10 hours over 2 weeks — it’s not a technically very good piece (as evidenced by the lack of [an award] ribbon) — but I like it and I got to do a little spleen venting (which is good therapy).”

Hey Mark, two letters for you: Foxtrot Uniform.

That’s my little bit of spleen venting for today.

Obviously there’s nothing to see here. Seed artist knows more than anyone else in America....

I’d say that is just as authentic as the original.

Maybe next year she can seed us up some College transcripts.

Neat idea. If I'd thought about it I would have done this one;

Hey, at least there’s a physical copy of this loser’s “art.” Zero had his stooges upload a JPG picture (virtual ones and zeros) to a Communist cesspool on the internet and they called it a birth certificate.

The seed-centric one is already a fan, though with more clothes on the Frankenstein.

Why is he irritated?

If "birthers" are really a marginal fringe that have lost contact with reality, why not simply be amused?

Are "flat earthers" a real threat to sane people that need to be lashed out at?

Apparently, truth hurts some people more than others.
