LET A HUNDRED FLOWERS BLOOM.

Remember when those Obama Joker posters were supposed to be A Thing, and not just something Grandpa wears to the Bundy Ranch? No? How about that one billboard in Wyoming? No? How about the Bush "Miss Me Yet?" posters? Oh, you do remember them? Embarrassing, weren't they?

Well, never mind those, because here's a real culture war coup:
Parody Obama Movie Posters Arrive in L.A. for President’s Visit
‘Saving Barack Obama: A Steven Spielberg Ploy’
The idea apparently is that Obama and Spielberg hate the Jews, and the Real Grown Ups across the internet are ecstatic. Let those communists have Hollywood, Broadway and the museums -- we have a couple of posters in Los Angeles, which will be rechristened Breitbartberg comes Der Tag.

Speaking of Breitbart:
The artwork is part of a larger campaign by street artists who are filling cities with political messages in opposition to the current administration. In February of this year, posters declaring President Obama to be “subpar” covered the streets of Santa Monica, California. The appearance of the posters coincided with the PGA Tour and poked fun at the president’s multiple golf outings.
Surely this will move the sheeple! Benghazi will be avenged!

For some reason I'm put in mind of Hitler's watercolors.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who misread the newspaper's name as "Free Bacon." Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

    Anyway, I'm not sure how some award like this that everyone is going to forget about in a few days (if they even hear about in the first place) is going to "save" Obama from his problems, but at least we got another teleprompter joke out of it. That's the kind of anarchic, irreverent creativity I'd expect from true street artists. Truth to Power guys!

    I also remember the portrait of Breitbart as a Viking that made his arms look like they were from a first draft of a Popeye cartoon, and with a sword so big that if he had tried to lift it, that would have finished him off before the booze and cocaine did.

    So your dangerous, subversive guerrilla street art campaign features golf puns, Stephen Spielberg, and Santa Monica.

    And I quote:
    The posters feature President Obama walking into the horizon between a pair of his teleprompters, which have become a sort of symbol of his presidency and the subject of many jokes, even receiving the acronym TOTUS for Teleprompter of the United States of America (mirroring POTUS, which stands for President of the United States of America).

We had a judge who was considered a sleaze by many...he left town for awhile after his son caught him sleeping with his wife and beat the living shit out of him...anyway, Judge Dishougn stayed away until his face healed up and declined to run again.

    I used to be "for" the President, but then I glanced at a 3 foot high backlit bus shelter advertisment while waiting for the 6.15 cross-town, and it totally changed my views.
    It was the thought-provoking placement of the telepropmpters in the image.
    Teleprompters being something which everyone who is not a RWNJ (or a bemused student of their "work") immediately associates not just with the President, but inevitably with his "radical socialism", "haughtiness", "Soros" and "Benghazi".
    Plus, it's really clever, and funny.

    I have to admit that I find the Teleprompter thing more than a bit confusing. Every president has used the Teleprompter since the device was introduced. It's just something that presidents use.

    But for some reason, it's become a thing with the right and Obama. The only explanation I can come up with is that they really want to be led by someone who is inarticulate and not afraid to show it. ("Fool me once, uh, er, . . .")

  94. The idea apparently is that Obama and Spielberg hate the Jews

    I'm always amused by this sort of thing. The righties are obsessed with winning over the Jewish vote, and they always fail miserably. They claim that the Democratic party doesn't support the interests of Jewish voters, but when pressed on the issue, they mumble incoherently about Israel and taxes.

    Meanwhile, they keep on blathering about how healthcare reform or raising marginal tax rates is just like the Holocaust, they push a radical fundamentalist evangelic Christian agenda, and when asked to depict a liberal, they invariably use imagery straight out of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

    The really odd thing is that, outside of the "coastal elite" cities, the Jewish vote is not large enough to swing elections. These efforts to court Jews don't make sense from a purely political standpoint- it's more of an existential angst, a combination of end-times eschatological yearnings and a desperate attempt to make Liberal Fascism seem like more than a dumb joke.

    BBBB we must never, ever forget the dire fate of Jews who are a tiny, tiny minority in countries which forbid, by law, any religious protections for them. What if other Jews ended up like the Jews in the US, with no state of their own to protect them?

    "Par" meaning average, with 41 rankable presidents, are they saying Obama is gonna rank 21st? Wow, that's just as damning AND catchy as the line I saw at anti-war rallies in 2003-2005, "Worst President Ever."


    (In fairness, those leftwing activists sure exaggerated -- Bush is only 7th or 8th worst! And heckuva job, polo-shirt-wearing sandinistas! Your poster basically says, "Obama: it's like reliving the nightmare of the heretofore one-step-below-average McKinley Administration! Minus the war on trumped-up charges, of course -- we actually liked that part about McKinley, God Rest his soul. Long live McKinley!")

    It really doesn't help that part of the GOP's base of Zionist support originates with the fundamentalist evangelic Christian agenda: i.e. supporting Israel so we can immanetize the eschaton. This is not a solid policy base:

    "Hey, we'd love to get y'all to the Holy Land so we can end the world and go to heaven and cast you into the depths of hell."
    "Uh... okay. Thanks?"

    It must be nice to live in a city with a real newspaper. We haven't had one of those for 20 years now.


    I did manage to get a letter published by our right wing rag about 10 years ago...it ended with "even though no WMDs have been found in Iraq, thank heavens they've found no blue dresses either. Otherwise we might have an impeachable offense on our hands." They called for verification of authorship/permission to publish and I told them "only if you leave in the last 2 sentences." I was really surprised when it ran.
