Leftists would have been outraged about depicting Obama decapitated displayed at a college.

It is obvious that the painting is simply unfinished.

They have his head painted and will add the body at a later time.


The painter is tardy...not, terrorist.

Why is it ok to show material like this? I get the freedom of speech side, but shouldn't that work for all of us? Berkley people can't speak about Trump without Antifa being allowed to show up and inflict violence?


I agree with you.

The artist definitely has the right to express her dislike of President Trump but making a painting that shows a POTUS being assassinated goes over the line that separates Free Speech from advocating for the assassination of a POTUS.

Yes and I also want her arrested for advocating the assassination of a POTUS.

If you don't think that is the message of the painting then what do you think is the message of the painting?

This is an example of why I picked you as the funniest poster on PT and one of my top 5 favorite posters.

BTW, glad to see you back on PT.

That work of art is not advocating the assassination of Obama.

Even if it was President Trump's face on sheets of toilet paper instead of Obama's face, I would have no problem with it because it would just be depicting the artist's dislike of President Trump but not advocating President Trump's assassination.

Imagine a painting of Obama hanging from a tree.

What about this obvious depiction of fantasy offends you?

Is it the lack of respect for the president it displays?


It's probably that the painting advocates the assassination of President Trump.

If you don't think that is the message of the painting then what do you think is the message of the painting?

It's not the painting, it that it was done by someone teaching, in the framework of that being the "professors" thoughts.

Do you think there would be any problem if a "professor" displayed a painting of his showing burning MKL, hanging from a burning cross with a noose around his neck while he feeds the fire? If so, what would be the nature of the problem? The lack of respect for MLK?

Are you stupid, just uninformed, or deliberately disengenuous. You're actually gonna sit there and ptetend that attributing monkey qualities to blacks has been mainstream racist adgenda for at least 10 years?

Apparently you don't have a problem with the artist advocating the assassination of President Trump.

Complain about it like Geller and you? Make it an issue and see what the University does?



Prolly not much of an issue to the Maintstream, and that's really fricking sad...Advocating the Pres' head cut off, and it's not a big deal? It means this society has really turned a shitty corner for the worse. Feel free to talk your trash, and protest and moan. It's what this place/country is all about. Then someone wants to paint something like this and then the college backs them? The minds of college kids appear to be getting poisoned with hate speech. To learn it on your own is ok but to have it force fed by teachers is not ok.

Colleges are teaching/forcing garbage down kids throats. When teachers are teaching this, it's bad. Let people formulate their own opinions. Can't have teachers promoting this.

Trump, i mean the guy should at least have done something wrong to get this kind of treatment. But he hasn't done anything.....Where is all the HATE coming from? I've never seen this in my lifetime.

I guess from his comments about Mexican immigrants and banning Muslims. That's all I know of, and he's never said anything disparaging regarding blacks.

Leftists are happy to paint him as Hitler but it's absurd to anyone with a brain. What sort of public figure can be so racist and fascist but completely hide it for 40 years?

Out of curiosity what's the non-racist interpretation of "they'll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill"
