Tea Party Group Unironically Utilizes BioShock Infinite Propaganda - Forbes

A West Palm Beach conservative group, the National Liberty Federation, mistook art from the video game Bioshock: Infinite as, I guess, "real" anti-immigration propaganda, and posted it to their facebook page.

This is the picture:

Needless to say, the game's storyline takes place in a steam-punk fantasy alternate-reality, and the image was not meant to be taken at face value.

It was a toss-up between the Politics forum, Current Events, or Video Games.

Uh, no, they didn't make a mistake. They knew what is was and they liked it, so they used it. Unless you want to take the most cynical view of it, which im sure you will, then its just a simple message about not letting illegal aliens pour into our country. If you don't like that message, well thats tough shit.

They have already taken it down and (sort of) apologized for it.

Well, not so much apologizing as mocking those who might be offended, nevertheless they took the picture down because of "racism".

No kidding.
