THE strangest painting of Obama yet!

[yorgatron]

[Fleet]

1. What is it with Obama and unicorns?

That's not the first one I've seen.

[Kaleko]

46. My take, for what it's worth.

The unicorn is a fantasy horse that Obama is riding in on, naked as only an animal would be. Meanwhile, the Capitol is crumbing, the American flag bent at the knee in an apocalyptically blood-red sky, as Stalin is offering his communist prescription pills and the good TV doctor from 'House' is eyeing the naked knight with no shining armor suspiciously.

All in all, a great piece of phart.

[Clear Blue Sky]

47. Freud would have some comments about that...

[burning rain]

62. These are the first I've seen with an overt political slant.

I must admit I don't follow this little genre, though. Earlier ones so far as I've seen have just depicted Obama naked riding a unicorn through some lovely fantasy landscape. To the extent that these have any "readable" content, I'd say they suggest that for many, Obama is a figure of free-floating charisma, a stand-in for longings for a better life and a better world. Undoubtedly, Obama has a more intense pure-charisma appeal than most politicians. It helped him win the election, excellent, but also suggests a number of his voters aren't committed to any coherent agenda.

[Vinca]

2. Somebody better keep their day job.

[Stevenmarc]

3. On the next episode of House

[trumad]

4. Stalin and House

Too funny

[htuttle]

5. So... Stalin, House and The President walk into a bar...

[Bucky]

... with a unicorn and a bottle of aspirin...

The only possible caption to this painting is "This is your brain on drugs"

[Hobarticus]

57. ...and says, I'm here to slay your elderly with my broadsword..."

C'mon, keep it rollin'

[johnfunk]

70. or "Epic Art FAIL"

Isn't Dr. House a Republican?

[Cha]

74. If he is..he's

an idiot.

[otohara]

6. Dr. House

what's he doing there?

[csziggy]

10. Working for or against health care reform? Taking all the Oxycondin so Rush doesn't have any?

[Xipe Totec]

7. I nominate this work for MOBA!

http://www.museumofbadart.org/

[liberalmuse]

8. I love it!

Stalin is drinking milk and Obama is Lady Godiva on a unicorn, and that guy from 'House' is thrown in for good measure. It also looks like someone took a bite out of the Capitol. That is the most perfectly fucked up painting ever!

[CJCRANE]

15. Stalin is holding a bottle of pills...

Maybe that's a metaphor for "socialist" (govt) health care...

[Bucky]

33. Good work. Now... try deconstructing the metaphors on this Obama painting

This, by the way, is how an artist desperately cries out for help

This too

Are we not all that kitten?

(No, we are not)

[Curtland1015]

48. I agree one billion percent. I would SO f*cking hang that in my living room!

Beautiful!

[pnwmom]

87. OR: Stalin is pushing his communist ideals along with pills to drug the populace

into submission and Obama is the anti-Christ or the 3rd horseman of the Apocalypse.

[htuttle]

9. ...and what happened to the Capitol dome? It looks like it's in ruins.

There's gotta be one freaky mythology behind this painting.

[leeroysphitz]

11. I like it! n/t

[CJCRANE]

12. Um..

this is a RW metaphor about health care reform...look at the imagery...

[Xipe Totec]

13. It's too retarded. I can only look for a few seconds

Then I have to avert my eyes, or go blind...

[knitter4democracy]

14. Well, sure, but it's pretty messed up all the same.

What a bizarre piece.

[JVS]

16. LOL!

[lame54]

17. his horn is white?

[JVS]

18. What's the deal with Stalin's hat? Also the unicorn's horn seems to originate in Obama's crotch

[BlooInBloo]

20. (shrug) I assumed it was more "Obama is coming for our pristine white women" imagery.

[JVS]

21. either that or impaling horses' heads...

the painter is either fucked up or an incredible satirist of the wingnuts

[Starry Messenger]

22. He's a freeper.

He tried to post here and got banned when someone found his ads and screen nick on FR. I think he was "faithmouse" here.

[pnwmom]

29. Exactly, BlooInBloo. I think this is a racist, fear-mongering painting.

Here comes the black man with the giant phallus and the pointy red horns, being helped along by the communists (with the hammer, sickle, star hat) who are occupying our country, lulling the people with drugs.

[inna]

37. how in the world is Dr. House "communist"??

lol

[pnwmom]

38. The guy on the left is wearing a cap with a hammer, sickle, and star --

a communist logo. And he's got a bottle of pills in his hand.

But Dr. House might be a socialist in the artist's eyes -- who knows?

[MercutioATC]

43. "The guy on the left"???? You're kidding, right?

That's Joseph Stalin. Perhaps you see the resemblance?

[pnwmom]

54. Yeah, he's the guy on the left. That doesn't change what I'm saying, does it? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

39. I think he's supposed to represent "drug addicted liberals".

[Odin2005]

71. House is an atheist so he is being used to represent "evil Godless science".

A common motif among anti-science types on both the left and right is the "Nazi experimentation on prisoners" as representing "soulless science and evil utilitarian thinking".

[BlooInBloo]

19. Somebody has some serious issues.

24. That would make a nice avatar.

[daleo]

25. Painted by a wingnut with the D.T.s

That must have been one hell of a bender.

[bushmeister0]

26. It gets weirder.

The artist is Don Lacey.

http://faithmouse.blogspot.com /

Check out the one of Palin with pancakes on her head. Words fail me . . .

[knitter4democracy]

32. Wow. That's messed up.

I really don't get the unicorn reference.

[Kaleko]

42. Strongly influenced by Chagall, evidently.

But lacking the light, visionary, even spiritual touch that made Chagall's paintings timeless works of art.

Here, we have Obama either before or after copulating with the unicorn he rode in on. The fantasy beast takes the place of the proverbial high horse, and the perverted lovers are lolling around on a bed of lava spewed by the active volcano in the back. Clearly, that coconut cocktail at Obama's right will soon be spilled as the entire mirage is washed out to sea.

[inna]

50. +1. you took the words about Chagall right out of my mouth. :) nt

[inna]

49. omg. this is absolutely insane!

:palm:

[inna]

52. the guy is completely nuts.

[burning rain]

61. Weird stuff & no mistake.

While naked-Obama-on-a-unicorn paintings are legion, it's unusual to see him dismounted, and to have the "Obama O" symbol around the unicorn's horn. I'm guessing the pancake serving as a figleaf on Obama's crotch comes from the "I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a rabbit with a pancake on its head" graphic, which enjoys some popularity in Freepistan.

[Gabi Hayes]

64. they banned him, too.

[burning rain]

76. He just did it with a UNICORN?

Well, you know what they say -- once you go unicorn, you have for all humans scorn.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

90. lol! he had joined DU and was tombstoned...it's mentioned at the link. FR banned him too!

[pnwmom]

27. How many racial stereotypes can we find in the picture?

Let's see, three giant phalluses (the building, the sword and the unicorn's horn -- conveniently positioned in the crotch area).

A bottle of drugs.

Anything else?

[MercutioATC]

44. RACISM!!!!

If you wanna go that route,

A naked black man...

running away from the scene of a crime...

that happens to be arson...

of the Capitol building, insinuating the overthrow of America.


Also, the black man has "mounted" a white symbol of purity.


...and I think that anybody that agrees with my contrived examples of "racism" in this image really needs to seek professional help.

[pnwmom]

56. Don't you remember the racist imagery during McCain's campaign?

And the earlier racist campaign commercials against Harold Ford of Tennessee?

Anyone who doesn't recognize the patterns in the Republican use of racist imagery is in serious denial and needs professional help.

[MercutioATC]

58. My point is that nuttery is sometimes just nuttery.

One can always find racism if one looks hard enough.

...that doesn't mean it's really there.


This is a poorly-rendered anti-"ObamaCare" statement...but it's not racist.

[pnwmom]

59. You said it yourself:

"A naked black man...

running away from the scene of a crime...

that happens to be arson...

of the Capitol building, insinuating the overthrow of America.


Also, the black man has "mounted" a white symbol of purity."

How you can also say this is NOT a deliberate use of racial imagery is beyond me.

[MercutioATC]

60. The Washington Monument is also a symbol of male supremacy.

Its phallic design makes it obvious.

[pnwmom]

86. True enough. And the African American male's sexuality has always been

seen as a threat by a certain segment of white America.

[MercutioATC]

93. I'm not going to try to convince you...you're obviously way beyond that.

I've stated my opinion.

While there are many instances of actual racism in today's society, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[rvablue]

28. FYI: Artist is a TS'ed former member. n/t

[Call Me Wesley]

35. Check out his video.

It explains a lot.

http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=46941

[pnwmom]

30. It's not strange, it's evil.

Obama is being portrayed as the anti-Christ, complete with horns and a couple of giant phalluses. He's being helped along by the communists, who are lulling the people with pills.

[me b zola]

31. These ridiculous paintings are all the rave with freepers

@ sarahpalinunderground.

[Vickers]

34. I never got to ride a unicorn nekkid.

[Robb]

41. Meh. It's not all it's cracked up to be. nt

[Call Me Wesley]

36. Pretty crappy. (nt)

[gatorboy]

40. Heh!! The Faithmouse dude.

I always wondered what had happened to him. Seems that his mental breakdown has continued.

[blogslut]

45. Good old Dan Lacey

A wingnut with a paintbrush.

[greguganus]

51. What is Hugh Laurie from "House" (on the right) doing in this painting? n/t

[conspirator]

53. My thoughts exactly. Maybe it has something to do with health insurance ;) nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

55. Euthanasia? He's going to gas Grandma, just like the gubmint! (n/t)

[AzNick]

92. Hahhahaa that's what I thought as well nt

[Gabi Hayes]

63. BURN him! BURN the paintings, too! he has no right to exist, much less express himself.

his stuff is hilarious

get over the fauxtrage, already

[Kaleko]

72. Where do you see fauxtrage displayed by the OP?

Maybe your post was misdirected?

Love the bunnypuss leaking syrup while waving her pancake bikini top in the pic you posted below.

Another great piece of phart, I dare say.

[Gabi Hayes]

73. I was talking about individual posts....don't even recall the OP's POV at this point.

I've been over at Lacey's recovered freeper link. some funny stuff over there.

they think he's an Obama loving, immoral, godless socialist

[Kaleko]

78. Okay, I see.

As for Lacey, the poor sob is between a rock and a leaky pancake if he can't even get any freeper love, lol!

[Gabi Hayes]

80. If I read it correctly, in the freeper thread, he admitted to being formerly

a religious zealot, but he wised up

or something along those lines.

don't remember his posts here, but I'd like to see them, if there's some means of recovery

I'd like to know if he got banned for things he wrote, or just showing the paintings here

anybody know?

[Gabi Hayes]

65. terrible, just horrible:

[Kaleko]

84. Women's pancake lib?

Alright!!! Let's all burn our pancake bras.

[Odin2005]

66. House may be an asshole, but even he would not do the crap the wing-nuts are claiming,,,

us liberals want to do with seniors and the disabled.

[Liberal_in_LA]

67. Why is he nekkid? Like Lady Godiva. Why are 'House' doctor there. What's with Stalin's aspirin?

[Gabi Hayes]

68. this thread is making my day! from his freeper thread:

To: Dan Lacey
But I became disillusioned by the anti-Christian attitude from many of my fellow conservatives,
particularly the anger from so many freepers on this site regarding Michael Huckabee, simply because
he was a Christian. If Mike Huckabee's version of Christianity is anywhere close to the dreadful
perverse filth you paint then he shouldn't be allowed near children either.

Whatever fools asked for your autograph did not see your entire collection.

You need to get help. You're infatuation with naked Obama's on unicorns alone shows you require
serious aid. Get it fast before socialized medicine.

You are no conservative. You are a sad, pathetic attention hound starving for adoration for your sick
fantasies. Now please get banned.

[Gabi Hayes]

69. sounds a bit like some of the frothing responses here, but with the funny crazy that we like so much

over there.

[tabasco]

75. The dude's hot for Obama.

No doubt about it.

[Stevenmarc]

77. He needs to stick to his gimmick of pancakes otherwise his lack of talent is really obvious

[ColbertWatcher]

79. You think THAT'S strange, be sure not to google ...

..."dan lacey obama painting"

LOL!

Link may not be safe for work or children or mixed company or yourself.

[Stevenmarc]

81. ROFL at the Obama and Limbaugh painting

[Gabi Hayes]

83. how bout this one:

it's from 'rightwingnews,' and I believe they blurred out her naughty bit

[Kaleko]

88. Echoes of Guernica.

If this doesn't get Picasso to rise from his grave, I don't know what the world is coming to.

[Gabi Hayes]

82. I love all of those!

especially the ugly betty one

those are cool!

the british lady singer is good, too.

I wonder how much they are....love to have the Ann Coulter

[Gabi Hayes]

85. I want to send this one to Chris Hitchens

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

89. I've seen Obama yiff that technically qualifies as stranger.

[InvisibleTouch]

91. This guy is obsessed.

For someone who ostensibly hates Obama, he sure spends a lot of time painting him! Makes you wonder.

[Gabi Hayes]

94. what makes you think he hates him?

he just knows where his bread is buttered.

if McCain had won, you'd see a whole hell of a lot of sarah/john, and god knows what else kind of stuff

[Cass]

95. Is that House on the right?

What a strange painting. Gotta love the communist holding a bottle of pills.
