Washington Post:
So much for HOPE. That, at least, is the symbolic message sent by an anti-ACORN activist or group that targeted Studio Number One in Los Angeles, the commercial design studio of Obama HOPE poster creator Shepard Fairey, with anti-ACORN graffiti.
John Wellington Ennis: The Lynching of ACORN
Lost in all of the sensationalism and selective truths is that there has been no connection between ACORN and underage prostitution, until a kid walked in and started talking about it to anyone he could get to listen to him.
Casey Gane-McCalla: Stand Up For ACORN, Cut Blackwater And Halliburton
If the government decides to cut funding of organizations due to the actions of low level employees, they must apply the same rules to the GOP's favorite government-funded organizations.
John Wellington Ennis: Entrapping ACORN
It is natural for many to shirk away from defending ACORN in light of this footage. But this particular exchange is not just cherry-picked -- it was planted, nurtured, and harvested.

Who cares. Stupid tool.
is "stupid tool" your new signature?
I'm surprised this guys studio isn't tagged and fly posted all the time.. Goes around comes around...
Sure doesn't take much for the taggers to think they are clever. For some reason Beavis and Butthead come to mind.
It's always nice to see someone take a swipe at those in power.
Great job!
what "power" does this guy have?
Well at least we know it wasn't Banksy, at least he's very talented.
More immaturity. LOL
The aging conservative population is growing down.
"Tagged" is such a precious word. It sounds like fun. "You're it!" It's too precious a word for vandalism, for destruction of property, for a crime.
Saw his exhibit at the ICA in Boston. This guy is a genius! Do not miss it if it comes to your town. The Obama poster, which was included in the exhibit, is not one of is best works! Do not miss him! OBEY
I saw the show at the ICA too, it was fantastic.
F.ascist squadrism is back in fashion among conservatives...

Immiscible in any democracy but a real dumbed-down one.
Ok this is simple. ACORN helps minorities and impoverished people. The right is willing to do anything to discredit organizations such as ACORN since they give a voice to minorities and the poor by registering them to vote and helping them with their financial problems. As ACORN has stated before that they shouldn’t be in the business of registering voters, it should be the responsibility of our government. This pimp and prostitute charade was done over a period of months and involved up to 2 dozen ACORN offices. Many of which either turned these people away or thought it was a joke. The ones on the video giving advice were terminated from employment and no tax return was ever filed or even came close to being filed for these people by ACORN. One thought to this is why they waited until now since they had the video since May. Maybe it has to do with the timing of the e-mail knowledge that Karl Rove personally targeted groups like ACORN.
Another thing is why these people aren't targeting groups such as Blackwater (Ze) that are funded by our government to the tune of billions of dollars and are involved in mercenary killings in Iraq. Oh wait, those victims are minorities in this country. Stupid me……
not to mention the documented evidence the young crapublicant has lied about how he edited the film.
It all depends how a jury will see it...

Shepard Fairey = plagiarist
http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm
oh come on C&R- the left can't plagarize (or infringe on copyrights or steal music, etc) -it's all for the GREAT CAUSE so it's all fair game. Only the right has to follow the rules of law.
when?
That's incorrect. Do you think artists invent original styles every time they work. No. His graphics are in reference to a historic style of art created decades ago. It wasn't ripped off - it was purposefully resurrected to give his work an historic resonance. And by the way his colors on the Obama poster were incomparable.
it's not the style - it's the photo- he doesn't do anything original - he STEALS pictures. Did yo read the commentary - you sound like you have some artistic knowledge, have you not heard this before?
So, Roy Lichtenstein was a plagiarist too? How about Andy Warhol?
If there's something diametrically opposed to art, it's conservatism. Guys, stop embarrassing yourselves and stick to sports, action movies and big-breasted women...
Was Roy Lichtenstein a plagiarist too?
What about Warhol? SF is a genius!
i clicked your link.
I saw a lot of words. no proof.
blah..............blah...............blah...................
but he does have one negative.................he is associated with president OBAMA.............
............and you guys simply can't handle that. gets you at the very core of your existence........
...........and you can only react the way you do.................
When are people going to get a spine and stand up to Glenn Beck? He's nothing more than a shock jock one summer breeze away from a mental breakdown. Really people...
We're just using your playbook. What's the problem?
In order to use the playbook, talent is a pre-requisite.
My playbook? You know, there's nothing more cowardly than blaming your reprehensible behavior on other people. What, are you too immature to know what is civil and what is a childish tantrum. Where are those so-called values that you're always trying to shove down other people's throats?
If he was institutionalized or fell off the wagon his di/e hard supporters would make him a martyr. The same way Lippy got away with his dr .ug add .ction after years of railing against ad ;dicts. There is no way around the rationale these people will use to back up the inconsistencies of their "heros".
if Acorn was run by white people from the south,you think we'll be having this SNL type of a show??
The Neo-Republicans are Truly Hateful People !
Oh yes they are. In need of massive therapy. But most can't afford it even if they had the realization they needed to partake in therapy. Damned state of Health Care only reinforces their "issues" by blocking access to help.
