| Lionel Mandrake I are serious journalist. This are serious news. |
||
| BarkingUnicorn Then WTF was your intent, Mr. Artist? |

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. |

See how the old guy is trying to catch one of Fartbama's farts? It's like he's wafting it into his nostrils, like a fine wine. And all the other old guys are pointing to the homeless person saying, "What about this guy? He needs farts, too!" |

Its like the artist has realized half the truth. If he could only have visualized putting the bongos in the painting, he would have captured the very essence of the Fartbongo. |

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. |

| SpaceyCat *shakes head* This does not surprise me. Only the Right can compare their candidates and elected representatives as Jesus and/or Saints. Anyone else doing that is just blasphemy! |

| ox45tallboy Lionel Mandrake: I have no idea what you're talking about libtard. So that explains Dubya! He was haunted by two former Presidents with grossly different views on the Constitution and the purpose of government, thereby confusing him and causing him to make such poor decisions as cutting taxes and taking us to war for no apparent reason! Damn, I almost feel sorry for the guy. |

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? |

Crucified ON a cross? That's harsh. |
||
| Princess Ryans Knickers
Damn it! Now how will I get into Heaven since Romney lost? |

| 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. |

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." |

"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. |

Spike Lee meant to compare him to Jesus. /Jesus was black // Ronald Regan was the devil ///And the government planned 9/11 |

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. |

| Gunny Walker Well, the cross wasn't used for Roman citizens. (Mostly) So, I think this guy may be a birther. |
||
| Nezu Chiza
I don't see how anyone could think he meant to compare Obama with Jesus. After all, Jesus was Ronald Reagan, and the conservatives would NEVER compare Obama to Jesus in that fashion. |

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. You mean Limbaugh, Beck, Savage, O'Reilly, Malkin, etc? I'm sure they'll soldier through somehow. |

| X-boxershorts tony41454: Unlike Jamie Foxx the blasphemer, who DID compare him to God Sarcasm from a comedian is often lost on those who cannot grasp subtlety Seriously, the only references to Obama the Messiah in the past few years have been coming from the radical, activist, resentful base of the republican party. The radical, activist, resentful base of the republican party is so damn stupid and so damn caught up in delegitimizing the President, they can't grasp the concept that it is "they" who were the target of mockery by Jamie Foxx |
