Wow. I actually thought at least one of those links would prove your point.
I know, those are all done by rightie cranks… If you close your eyes and hum loudly.
And to paraphrase Bobcat Goldthwaite about Elvis. “I’m pretty sure he was so high, he was laughing everywhere he went.”
Because anyone positively depicted in art, song or photography is presumed to be a god?
Lol. Denial is strong with this one.
If Marilyn Manson was an attempt to rip off Alison Cooper, I think he was doing something wrong.
You’re right. I didn’t want to admit it, but… you’re right. My life hasn’t been the same since Barack Obama came into it. Oh sure, I was skeptical at first - we all were - but it soon became clear this is a man unequivocally carrying out the will of God. It’s been so long since we as a nation have felt hope, have felt that God cared for us… Obama is proof that we have not been forsaken. He has the power to unite peoples of every nation. His words are like music that flood my soul. And he is so much better at basketball than Jesus ever was. I don’t know what we were thinking.
Why you? Did I post that you thought of Obama as messiah?
You certainly didn’t imply it, that’s for sure, you sneaky devil.
I don’t think Beck is doing it as parody.
I think he thinks his followers think (still with me?) that the same people who “are behind, made, like, or support” Piss Christ also like Obama, and this is getting back at that monolithic block.
Of course, I don’t think that everyone who liked Piss Christ is an Obama supporter; frankly, the far left is pretty disenchanted with him. So I think Piss Obama is not pissing off the Piss Christ people Beck’s pissed at.
But I’m not surprised he’s missing who he’s dissing with his Pissing.
In the words of 50 Cent:
Go ahead, switch the style up
If the niggas hate then let them hate
and watch the money pile up
No art is original. Each art is unique.
What happened to the conservative cry, “our President, right or wrong.” I guess that only applies if the guy is starting a war.
A thought that crosses my mind is that Ghandi used to drink his own piss. He thought it was healthy. Maybe 'Piss Christ" and “Pee-Pee Obama” are not offensive at all. We do know that Obama likes to have a beer now and then. Maybe Beck was honoring him. There are days when I feel like soaking in a barrel of beer.
That said, Beck is a pond scum idiot. Money rich does not make good or right or honorable. (Exhibit 1, Donald Trump. Exhibit 2, Limbaugh. I’ll stop right there because the assertion is proven.)
Can you show me where I implied it?
I responded to the post that claimed, quite erroneously, that the “Obama as a messiah” was only promoted by right wingers. So I showed numerous examples of lefties running with that concept. Is that a problem for you?
It’s *accused *by right-wingers of *all *left-wingers, not just the ones with mad water-color skilz. So, yeah, I have a bit of a problem with that.
Not by this right-winger.
And, cite?
Barack Tap-dancing Obama! I have no doubt some view Obama as a spiritual leader. I have great doubt that any of them view Obama as a Messiah. Google ‘‘Nelson Mandela’’ or ‘‘Martin Luther King, Jr.’’ or hell, ‘‘Ronald Reagan’’ - are they all Messiahs too?
(Holy shit you guys, Jesus H. Christ, Barack **H. **Obama? This can’t be a coincidence.)
Cite? Really? You’ve never heard a right-winger using the term “The Annointed One,” when referring to Obama - or some shit like that - to disparage the left as a whole?
Start here.Let me know when you finish.
Have you read the “Book of Famous Jewish Basketball Players”? Got a minute?
You know what, I take that back. Some crackpots probably do think Obama is the Messiah. I still think your examples were a poor demonstration of the point you were trying to prove. Only one of them explicitly compared Obama to God, the rest were just art pieces and photographs combining faith with imagery of Obama.
