Missile Defense Agency Logo Angers Right

CBS News ^ | 2/24/10

The Drudge Report and other conservative sites are highlighting a newly-unveiled logo for the U.S. Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency and complaining that the new logo (pictured at left) is reminiscent of both the Obama campaign logo and an Islamic flag.

"the new MDA shield appears ominously to reflect a morphing of the Islamic crescent and star with the Obama campaign logo," writes Big Government's Frank Gaffney. "… Team Obama is behaving in a way that -- as the new MDA logo suggests -- is all about accommodating that 'Islamic Republic' and its ever-more aggressive stance."

Critics, meanwhile, are mocking the uproar from the right. Tweeted "Zeus": "Drudge is hinting the new Missile Defense Agency logo resembles an Islamic flag's star & crescent. SECRET OBAMA AGENDA!"

The MDA describes itself as a Department of Defense "research, development, and acquisition agency" that is "focused on retaining and recruiting a dedicated workforce interested in supporting our national security." The agency is engaged in development and testing of an integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System.

That's what all true conservatives do, I'm told.

Life is just not as interesting for us RINO CAIR-funded Obama defenders, as it is for these folks. It's starting to make me jealous: I'm considering surgery....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I am surprised CAIR has not commented on this yet.

You're expecting an objection from that goup of knuckle draggers?

I'm sure the LOVE it.

The old one (below) has the red and yellow colors of communist China and Soviet Union. Also, a missile shooting through what could pass for a red communist star. Maybe Obami the commie just couldn't handle this imagery, or was asked by his comrades overseas to replace it.

So do I.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It's not a star; it's an explosion.

In the old logo you posted, it is. Clearly. Not so in the new one.

Plus, juxtaposed with what is clearly a crescent, it is even less an explosion and more a star.

Thanks for posting the SEIU logo earlier today. That is where I got it from. Did you come across it yourself, or did see it posted somewhere?

Son of a bitch. Can they be any more “in your face?”

[Fresh Wind]

It popped up on another thread here.

Logos evolve you know. Aunt Jemima and Betty Crocker both have a new look — but that doesn’t mean they look like Uncle Ben.

[Iron Munro]

Good catch!!!!

[Romulus]

Here's another clear crescent. Look out, the muzzies are in your TV!

[buccaneer81]

That's not a crescent. That's a satellite and its orbit.

FAIL, on your part.
