art posters
No se asked:


nobody clicks links. just google and you can judge for yourself.
overanalyzing? LOL that was my first impression. I’d hate to see what lies below the surface similarities

    Obama wouldn’t even be in the running if people looked at the issues:

    1 - Obama’s associations (Ayers and Wright)
    2 - Obama claimed to be naive regarding Ayers and Wright. Do we need a naive president?
    3 - Obama’s visit to Iraq where he tried to stall the exit strategy (to make him look good)
    4 - Obama gives nothing to charity while asking us to share our wealth, and while he refuses to help his own family.

    Be afraid.
    Be very afraid.

    Or as they say in my neck of the woods, afeared.

    so. the truth boils down to a poster. simplistic, but i would expect that from a simple mind of a repuke.

    Probably more of a coincidence, but he is still a socialist which makes his ideas and message very similar (even though he may try and make out to be a moderate)

    Source? None, as usual, of course.
    Shhould I claim now that Adolf Hitler pops his head out of Republican bill-boards?

    I don’t think so. Obama is a socialist. Those colorful portraits of Obama have always reminded me of other countries run by dictators who had murals of themselves all over the country.

    That was the first thing I thought when I saw Obama’s campaign posters and no, I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all.

    No, it was probably done by someone in the GOP…

    No. His main contributor did the “OBEY” art & many of the contributors are inspired by Saul Alinsky , a famed Sociailst who’s methods mirrors Lenin’s.

    No coincidence. I agree with Allie

    Beats me. Similarities between McCain campaign art and my four-year-old nephew’s crayon drawings. Coincidence?

    There is no similarity.

    Campaign art is trying to get a message across, the only similarity is that they are both art of some sort, as is any media mass produced with a message content for a viewer. They have tried to link Obama to the Muslims but stretching that to include the Soviets is a bit of a stretch.

    You are overanalysing and reading more into it than is there.

    sigh… Only a few more hours to go… can the McCain camp please talk about what their candidate will do rather than toss around accusations. One of the reasons McCain is trailing is because he is perceived as constantly attacking Obama rather than giving any specific proposals. (BTW, You Republicans will love this, I ran the spell check on my answer and it suggested Osama as a corrected spelling for Obama.)
