Disheartening. That violence is on display at both their rally's. Me, I condemn that. Loud and clear I condemn that.

Back then, where the original image was ripped off, it was very common story line. Like Captain Marvel Jr. battling Captain Nazi. I agree with you though. No need to even suggest what is being displayed in the image.

BTW, did you know that Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and H.P. Lovecraft were major xenophobes.

Hope all is well.

A good chunk of these are showing Bernie's message, and why people like him

Not me: Us
No bank or bigot is too big to bust
Together
We not me
Washington is dominated by big money: 99%

You can clearly see that he's running a populist campaign emphasizing working together, and his core message of fixing broken corporate politics (which pretty much everyone agrees with) is on a majority of these. It's like you're mad because they dared to put the candidate on the artwork supporting the candidate

But, who am I to judge? It's just a personal opinion, not right nor wrong.

The idea is "grassroots." See thread title.

This isn't an art gallery; it's a thread about citizen involvement.

I've long thought Bernie looked like a Muppet.

I can't wait to have a president who looks like a Muppet. Maybe it will endear us to other nations and make them forget about all the wars we've started.

All the "art" appears to be copied from other images. Not bad. Not great.
