Remember hope? Or, to be more specific: remember “HOPE”?

Shepard Fairey, the “artist” who “created” that iconic image, is back. And you’ll never guess which presidential candidate he’s supporting this time!

Yes, it is far too cluttered to be iconic. It’s sort of interesting to pick the elements out of the clutter. I’m a junkie for icons and propaganda art - how one tries to project ideas or identities through imagery. I am surprised at this mess, but then, it is not something official, just one groupie’s little house altar.

Someone on another site claims it is a throwback to the Romanian Fascist organization, The Iron Guard.

I couldn't find any of their icons after five minutes' desultory searching.

But I'll tell you what it reminds *me* of:

A cross between Nazi imagery and an old-fashioned TV test pattern (back in the days when stations would occasionally lose the signal)...

Bernie Sanders.

Not just Socialism. National Socialism.

Because students!

...are these going to be the Official Uniforms of the Sanders Youth?

All of the following are by Obama's communist propaganda artist Sheppard Fairey. I think you, a staunch supporter, defender, and admirer of KGB/FSB Putin, can kind of get the feel of who he likes and admires, and who he definitely does not like or admire.

Barack H. Obama

Not sure what that’s supposed to mean. Is it something by Sheppard Fairey?

You’re going to write me and not bring my truck? That’s low, ETL. Very low.
