Some Hillary supporters had such signs at her Philly rally, I'm trying to find the reference.
Thanks

Edit, here's the image

1. like this?


It would be helpful if you could find a picture of the rally. But what do you hope to learn? A lot of artists have recycled old poster imagery in one way or another, it's a pop culture thing. Those holding the signs might not have any awareness that it referenced a Mao poster.

8. Speaking of recycled imagery...
Kind of odd for Mao to use the exact same icon as appeared on the Imperial Japanese battle flag...

7. knock offs
Somebody is trying to re-create the individual, unsolicited works of art that have sprung from the well of talented people that support Senator Obama.

17. Lol
Actually I think that's from McCains original run for office. I think the reward back then was eternal preservation, which is how he's still around :P

My wife has a sun tatoo on her belly. I keep joking with her about how when we start having kids she's going to go supernova on me... for some reason the side of my face hurts alot :shrug:

Yeah this old imagery stuff is used by every political party. It's almost like criticizing a politician for giving a good speech. It's their job to inspire people to get off their asses and do things.
