Et tu, Dalí?



Ecce Fartbongo

Yeah, one of them's a brown skinned guy promising help and health for the poor, proper taxation for the rich, and tolerance for all members of society.

The other was Jesus.

No, wait...I think this is the one they were talking about.

LOL, Megadeth should hire that guy for their next album cover.

The artist was -- *gasp* -- comparing Barack Obama to Richard Nixon.

Fartbama puts the 'art' in 'fart'.

We should pretend that republicans care about Jesus, guys. Srsly.

Et tu, Dalí?

Crucified ON a cross? That's harsh.

I like this. It's sorta an evil Norman Rockwell piece...

It's like one of those picture puzzles from Highlights for Children - How many memes can YOU find?

I burst out laughing when I noticed the soldier eating the gay wedding cake. He came to the wedding, so obviously he supports the couple. And he's prepared to fight for them. He just doesn't care for fondant icing.

Hahaha and I just noticed the florescent light bulb. Which obviously means that Obama is against lampshades. Also, I gather that he's against golf.

Yeah, I know about the rollovers available on the artist's website, but a work of art has to stand on its own and he can't control the meanings I derive what he paints. Semiotics, biatches.

Romney: " I would like to buy your compact fluorescent desk lamp. Do you take cash, Mr. Soros."

I like how the Army Airborne guy is begrudgingly enjoying gay wedding cake.

And the guy with a shovel "needs work," but doesn't notice the dead body 3 feet away from him. That's a shovel-ready job if ever I saw one.

Obama of Nairobi?

Ed Grubermann: tony41454: "My intent was not to compare him to Jesus"

Unlike Jamie Foxx the blasphemer, who DID compare him to God. Apparently Jamie never read this:

"On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. The people kept crying out, 'The voice of a god and not of a man!'
And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died." (Acts 12:21-23)

Let hope those worms chew fast.

Funny how God hasn't given a wet fart about blasphemy since then.

I actually asked that very question about blasphemy to my childhood pastor years ago (Southern Baptist). He told me that God DOES strike down the wicked blasphemers, but sometimes it takes decades for them to die. But he assured me they suffered the whole time. That's the current belief on the matter.

Clearly I am no longer a religious person.

Only the right compares him to Jesus/anti-Christ and believes his supporters worship hip. The left tends not to think with such hyperbole.

AverageAmericanGuy: Jesus was crucified by his own party.

No one out there on the Left has the balls to crucify Obama for his energetic support of right wing policies.

The painting doesn't even make any sense.

Hey, hey! I expect good trolling from you, not intelligent commentary about the Left's legitimate beefs with their centrist president.

Out of character, man.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Fauxtrage is Starnes' bread and butter.

I don't think this is very good art but if you can't see this as a comment on how Obama's being treated and not who he is you should probably just stick to your Kincade jigsaw puzzles.

One year, my friends and I put together a Kincaid jigsaw puzzle and then pasted pictures culled from porn mags into the scene. It was a vast improvement.

Snarfangel: The artist was -- *gasp* -- comparing Barack Obama to Richard Nixon.

.Kyle Snyder.

It's clear that the artist is insinuating that Obama is a crucifixion recreator ...from the Philippines.

Will the right never stop their attacks on Obama's birthplace?

Perhaps the artist intended to compare Obama to John Lennon. (drta)

AverageAmericanGuy: Jesus was crucified by his own party.

Why would the left want to crucify him when they just relected him? And the Romans were Jesus own party?

Jesus, no need to tap dance around comparing him to Christ. He made the holy grail of comparisons and he should stick to it.

Befuddled: What's going to happen to all these lunatics and their Obama-obsession when Obama is done with his second term? If the next President is a Democrat, it seems like the nutjobs are going to be too burned out to start over with someone new.

They'll give it a few years, then claim he was really one of them and take credit for Obamacare and economic recovery.

After John Wilkes Booth snuck into Ford's Theater, pulled a loaded gun out, and mortally wounded Mr. Lincoln, he quipped to the press "It wasn't my intent to murder him."

Damn it! Now how will I get into Heaven since Romney lost?

I think the real tragedy is the number of people who've grown up believing that the Romans only ever crucified one guy. What about the rest of them? Didn't anyone stop to think that maybe the artist was comparing Obama to one of the other people the Romans crucified?

My conservative Christian right wing republican straight white American aunt is about to blow a gasket on Facebook over this and Jamie Foxx.
On a positive note, it does mean she's posting much less about Benghazi.
