Art and politics

I would only ask who in this group does't belong.  Hint, it's not the guy sitting on the bench.

Controversial Artist Depicts Obama Trampling The Constitution « CBS Las Vegas

Provo, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) - In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park bench in the throes of depression. He is surrounded by all 43 presidents. In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right foot is stepping on the Constitution. James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.

This tableau is called “The Forgotten Man”, a painting by Jon McNaughton, an artist who is known for his politically-charged work.

The painting, which uses objects such as discarded dollar bills as symbols and scraps of paper with individual constitutional amendments scrawled onto them, has been making the rounds across the Internet...

...The responses have ranged from sarcastic — “We’ll trade you this peasant for that constitution. We’ll even throw in the bench.” – to Photoshop works of art....

You can read the full article and I support this man for many reasons, first of all freedom of expression. But I do wonder were are the other "defenders of the Constitution", e.g. ACLU, PFTAW, etc on this. After all they seemed to defend the producers of Death of a President, showing the assignation of George W Bush during his term. Till this point motion pictures have never shown a sitting president murdered. Then again we all know it was projection of a lot of what Hollywood wanted.

But I have to agree with the artist more on his last point in the article.

He later added to CBSLV: “I’m not trying to create an art style. I want to communicate my ideas. Isn’t that the purpose of art?”

You would think so Mr. McNaughton. Then again, your ideas are not right with the Progressive movement and they don't want to allow it.
