Dems Don't Like Obama Halloween Humor
2011-11-01
The posterized image of a rotting, undead Obama with a bleeding, large-caliber hole an inch above his right eye prompted Democrats to cry foul and Virginia's Republican governor to denounce it as "shameful and offensive."

Loudoun County GOP chairman Mark Sell said that the graphic was "a light-hearted attempt to inject satire humor into the Halloween holiday."
So maybe it was in poor taste. There is no pic at the link, either. Wasn't it "free speech" when Bush was portrayed that way?

#6  I think it would have been better if they had put up a satirical cartoon of Obummer trying to steal candy from trick/treating kids.

#5  I don't agree with the Obama image - you should honor at least the office (if not the man in it) same as I would disagree with the cited Bush images (where I did respect the man in the office).

Besides its not realistic - One of the main ways to kill a zombie is to shoot them in the head.

The Pelosi image however looks so real it's creepy....

#4  Lets be clear here. It is different when a citizen does this kind of thing and when an elected official does. A County GOP Chairman should damn well know better in todays day and age and it doesn't matter if the Democrats did it as well.

#1  The poster and another nugget of news:

In the Halloween-themed mailer, several pieces of zombie art are spaced apart by defaced portraits of President Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Both bizarre portraits were part of a mass email sent out by the Loudoun County GOP, intended to solicit attendance at a local fair. “We are going to vanquish the zombies with clear thinking conservative principles and a truckload of Republican candy,” it reads.

The Pelosi pic looks like the botox deflated. Several other articles did not have the picture, leaving it to the reader's immagination.
