Bobbling Obama

[Soggy in NOLA]

You are probably too young to know what this stunt is all about. Becks genius in in his satire and his ability to make a point. Which he does extremely well with this "artwork".

If you would like to educate yourself, google "piss christ" or "christ in pee". That should get you started.

I'm aware of it, what does it have to do with Obama? Did Beck bother to connect the dots? I am not a big fan of avant garde art so don't look at me to defend that incomprehensible shit.

Christ in piss won't upset the left, but Obama in piss does. If you don't see the significance of that then I can't help you.

Obama is their Christ.

It isn't actually pee pee.... I think it's a funny gag on the public

It is. The funniest thing is the reaction from the left. Now mind you, most lefties are ignorant of history and current events (that's how you get to be a leftie) or simply too young to know what the purpose is behind this "art" of Glenn's.

The reaction from the left? You mean the laughter at this ridiculous stunt and the righties proclaiming him a genius? Because that's the only reaction it got from me. And I'm quite aware that he is mocking the art piece "Piss Christ". I didn't call that art at the time and I don't think Beck's parody is anything but desperation, and your reaction is anything but that of a mindless follower. I guess I'm not as ignorant of the meaning as you thought, huh? Better luck next time.

Was I talking to you dumbass? Did i say "The reasction from Josefk"? Are you all lefties?

Christ you are an idiot.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Your post is what's stupid.

Obama is a living being, therefor a threat to kill a non-living being won't be taken as seriously.

You fail badly. But you should be used to it by now.

Sometimes it takes boiling thoughts down to the simplest form for you dummies to grasp them.

Apparently you can't grasp the ignorance of your post.

There you go again. You seem to have regained your confidence. Let's see how long it takes before I remind you of your place in our relationship.

 

[Politico]

And Beck trying to sell it on ebay is proof he's a hack. He knew there was no way they would let that auction stay up.

I am a lefty. You were talking about the reaction of lefties, right? There's no need to get all indignant. Just wipe your butthurt from the pwning I gave you and move on, you sniveling little pantie waste.

 

[PredFan]

I am not really upset about any of it,.....

Ok, perhaps you aren't but plenty of lefties are upset.



I don't believe he did other than to take someone that the left admires and giving them a taste of what it felt like to Christians.

and why do you think he is awesome for doing something I am sure no liberal defended any further than generally defending the right of freedom of expression.

You're sure? I'm old enough to have been debating politics since before the Piss Christ incident and I can assure you that most lefties not only supported the "artist" but laughed at the offense that Christians took from it. Now we are laughing at the hypocrisy evident in the butt hurt from the left over this. That's what makes this stunt so genius.

Why do you think I am a young person, I remember it clearly, I remember how it was a tempest in a teacup that the moral majority types used as political tool and blew ridiculously out of proportion, You are damned straight I laughed at the fundies flipping out as I normally do when they flip out over insignificant dumb shit. So I will go back to my original claim, The artist was a jackass and Beck is a jackass but I will equally defend their right to do what they do. Would you? Somehow I doubt it.

And we are laughing at the hypocrisy of the left acting in the exact same way as the Christians did then. I defended the right of the artist then, as i defend the right of everyone, including the Westboro Church, Reverend Wright, and Glenn Beck.

None of this is about denying them the right to say any dumb thing they want to. The genius of Beck's stunt is that he elicited the exact reaction from the left as the artist did from the Christians. You seem to think that because YOU aren't offended that no one from the left is offended. You would be wrong. The butthurt from the left that this stunt brought out is huge. Hell, you can even see it in this thread.

Thanks for reminding me of what I discovered a few weeks ago, that you're too stupid to bother with. I forget these things sometimes.

Dismissed.

I think you are seriously overestimating the reaction to this, do you think the left will still be talking about this Beck stunt 25 years from now? When he does something that big then get back to us that this stunt by him is somehow equal.

Really? I'll make "piss christ" my avatar and you make beck's version yours and let's see who gets the biggest negative reaction. Let's put your theory to the test. 25 years later heads are still exploding over that image, but I suspect in 25 years people will have to be reminded of who Glenn Beck was before he died of alcohol poisoning.

NEA Awards 832 Art Works Grants Totaling $23.3 million



11/27/12



Plus, 40 Creative Writing Fellowships totaling $1 million awarded to poets

November 27, 2012

Contact: Victoria Hutter 202.682.5570 [email protected]

Washington, DC -- National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced today that the NEA will award 832 grants totaling $23.3 million through its Art Works funding category. Not-for-profit arts organizations in 47 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive funding. The supported projects span 13 artistic disciplines and fields and focus primarily on the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing works for the benefit of American audiences. In addition, the NEA will award Creative Writing Fellowships to 40 outstanding poets for a total of $1 million. This grant announcement is the first of several for fiscal year 2013.

"Through a rigorous peer-review panel process, the NEA ensures that projects recommended for funding are among the most creative, the most effective, and will make a real impact," said NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman. "I am proud to announce these 832 Art Works grants and 40 Creative Writing Fellowships and I look forward to seeing the projects come to fruition for the benefit of both the grantees and their communities across the country."

Art Works

Art Works is the NEA's largest funding category. These grants emerged from applications submitted to the March 2012 deadline. (Grants from the August 2012 deadline will be announced in Spring 2013.) Art Works encourages and supports the following four outcomes:

Creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, Public engagement with diverse and excellent art, Lifelong learning in the arts, and Strengthening of communities through the arts.

Funded Art Works projects include:

1708 Gallery in Richmond, Virginia is recommended for a $20,000 grant to support InLight Richmond, an annual one-night community festival and public exhibition of light-based art. InLightexhibitions feature a range of light-based works including video projections, interactive environments, multimedia projects, performance, and installation.

Calista Elders Council in Anchorage, Alaska is recommended for a $45,000 grant to help support a three-day Yup'ik dance festival in Chavak, Alaska, (population 938) featuring 24 dance groups from 23 remote villages. Families in the village will host and provide food for the 312 dancers for a weekend of dancing, ceremonials, and socializing.

Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota is recommended for a $100,000 grant to support production of two new works: a play by Caridad Svich, based on Julia Alvarez’s novel In the Time of the Butterflies, and an oral history piece about veterans with disabilities created in partnership with Footprints Collective. Also, Mixed Blood will tour Minnecanos, an original musical about four generations of Minnesota Mexicans and The Deaf Duckling about a deaf child born to a hearing family.

Ojai Festivals in Ojai, California, is recommended for a $15,000 grant to support the 67th annual Ojai Festival. Programming will focus on American artists and music, including the works of Lou Harrison, John Cage, Henry Cowell, Charles Ives, and John Luther Adams. Additional featured artists include Mark Morris Music Ensemble, the Mark Morris Dance Group, pianist Emanuel Ax, the American String Quartet, and jazz trio The Bad Plus with Ethan Iverson.

As part of its commitment to fund organizations across the country, the NEA conducts grant workshops to help potential applicants understand the agency's grant-making process and offer tips for submitting strong proposals. Since October 2011, the NEA has held 35 grant workshops in 19 states plus the District of Columbia (using this presentation). Together with 10 training webinars offered through the NEA's website, the agency has reached more than 4,700 new and/or prospective applicants.

Obviously Glenn Beck was not included in this. Only Socialist Liberals need apply.

This is the one you meant to post -

Beck-backed gold fraud? - Salon.com

How much did you brainless rw's buy?

I read your posts saying gold is the way to go and you're all on your knees in front of this crook so c'mon - how much did he get of your money?

Oh, and btw, were coming up on a time that will likely be very profitable for buying stocks. But, you probably prefer Beck's gold scam.

 

[LoneLaugher]

By the way........is there, in fact, a leftwing reaction to Beck's lameness?

 

[AmericanFirst]

Here's another genius stamped from the same mold, or rather an attention whore looking to gain a fanatical following of simpletons.

Gainesville Pastor Calls for National Burning Effigy of President Obama Day | Local News - 970 WFLA Tampa Bay's News, Traffic & Weather

They learned it from their Muslim friends.

Just acting like libtards do.... You guys think weird things can be art.

They only hate it when it is done with their false god obamaturd.

You know, this could cause blacks to riot. An anti obama skit? Beck has nothing better to do beside picking his nose. Beck has a long history of stupid. WTF is he anyway?

He's got your blood pressure up.

 

[Antares]

Occupied, you just aren't a very bright individual.

You people have been deifying Obama from day one, all over the media...Beck pulled off a supreme piece of satire, it was brilliant and it had the desired effect.

It roused you idiots to rage, grow up and get over yourself....or just go back to shitting on police cars.

Glenn Beck is a genius.

He's a genius con-artist, doesn't make him anyone to respect. If I were to piss all over an image of Reagan just because I believe he was an incredibly bad president can I be a genius too?
