What republicans really hate is the first amendment. For all their distortions about the "founding fathers" -the bottom line is that they have no respect for allowing other people to express ideas which are not in lockstep with their own.

I'd use that as a background...but then she would keep LOOKING at me, and that is just too creepy.

Why do Republicans hate the first Amendment? Oh, right, they're wannabe fascists.

Well then he definitely shouldn't hang that demotivation picture of her that says "Vagina. It's Not A Clown Car".

That would really get their undies in a bunch.

For all their distortions about the "founding fathers" -the bottom line is that they have no respect for allowing other people to express ideas which are not in lockstep with their own.

Democrats are just as guilty, if not more so of what you are describing. Dems tend to be the party of political correctness, a blatant assault on the 1st amendment, of course that goes out the window when it comes to talking about opponents. Nice political double standard that both sides use when it suits them.

I find no value in that "art," but so what? I'm as in the tank for Obama and anti-Palin as they come, and I think it sucks...

But, I am a huge fan of the 1st Amendment, so more power to ya "artist." You betcha!!

Well, yeah, it's a massive steaming pile of shiat, but the owner deserves the right to hang it without repressive Republicans demanding he take it down.

Um...OK...but the GOP is blatantly PC also...as in "patriotically correct." THOU SHALT NOT EVER accuse American troops of abusing prisoners, or bombing/attacking civilians, or firing indiscriminately or pursuing strategies or tactics that violate international law or generally agreed-upon "Just War" principles.

Yeah, Dems go overboard with the "hyphenated American" stuff, and the "Heather has two Mommies" stuff, but Republicans defend soldiers who rape and kill civilians, and GOP Presidents pardon soldiers who orchestrate massacres. Because Americans don't do that, even when they do.

The Miss Congeniality one is good. The others kinda suck.

"Lipstick on a piggy bank" doesn't even make that much sense. Why are both of them looking off to the side? At least if Palin was looking straight ahead (at "us") it would be more emotionally evocative.

It almost seems like it's trying to be controversial just to be controversial. It says more about the artist than about us. Serrano's Piss Christ it isn't.

Like I said before, it's a "Nice political double standard that BOTH sides use when it suits them." The GOP certainly makes things into PC issues, just not to the extent that the Dems do IMHO. The GOP currently does other crap besides PC so it's not like I'm giving them a free pass.

Yeah...dems gloss over consenting adults' private lives, repubs merely gloss over war crimes...obviously the dems are the extremists.

In your humble opinion, Heather having two mommies is far graver than My Lai...

Lusiphur 2008-10-11 02:04:44 AM  
Eh, I can't say I actually like the piece, or most of the artists other pieces. It's so far away from nuance that it can see it coming the other way around. I like my art with a little more subtlety and a little less caricature. That being said, whatever. It's the woman's store, she has the right to display it. You have the right to be offended. Or not. It's your call, really. Similarly, you have the right to open your own design store and hang a window poster of Obama with huge lips eating a watermelon with a welfare check in his hand. Doesn't bother me any more than this.

Kids, EVERYONE supports the 1st Amendment, until someone else says something they don't like. Then the gloves come off.

I myself support everyone's right to say anything that comes into their pointy little heads. I may not like it, but the 1st doesn't say I have to. Go ahead, though, run your mouth. I'll stand right next to you, and defend to the death your right to spew whatever hate & filth you're spewing.

But when you actually start DOING anything...then MY gloves come off. And the AK comes out too, usually.

I say hang that picture of Bristol holding Trig and making a funny face. Just to irritate the right-wingers.

They should just move shop up here to New York. There's a storage company running ads all over the city mocking Palin:

"What's more limited? Your closet or her experience?"


Heh. I hope you're all sitting down, but apparently Michelle Malkin has a problem with this. I'd link to it, but frankly, I don't want to give her dribble the hits.

 
lord-humungus 2008-10-11 02:55:35 AM  
I set the pic from the Weekly World News about palin killing a bigfoot as my walpaper at work and got in trouble. I still don't know why as the offended parties were never able to articulate the reason they were offended.
