Ah, another Republican that whitewashes what happened under G. W. Bush & spins it to pin it on Obama.

How do these idiots NOT see that depicting a black president as the master of a slave ship filled with white children is incredibly offensive? Of all the possible imagery and metaphors they could have chose, THAT'S what they went with? Some pinhead media adviser sat in his office one day and suddenly thought, "Obama....black guy....SLAVES! That's the ticket!"

I mean, I get what Oxner is essentially trying to say (although I find him to be astoundingly disingenuous for blaming Obama for the debt, the bail-outs, and the plague of corporate welfare we are dealing with), but he honestly thought this was the best way to make his point? Slave imagery with a black president? Really?

At this point, you have to wonder if they're doing it on purpose.

No, that's the Fawkes mask, which OWS and Anonymous have been using.

In either case, what the fuck is going on with this ad?  I hesitate to call the person who made it brain-dead, because that'd be an insult to zombies.

...The slave driver driving the children screams at them to "think about the 99%". So we get this weird situation where the working class are being portrayed as being enslaved partially to themselves.

Where is that My Mind is Full of Fuck image when you need it? :U
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Corinthians 13: 4-7
