Yes, we can! With tax dollars!

Spin this, Media Matters!

On his TV show, Glenn Beck spoke to filmmaker Patrick Courrielche who revealed at Big Hollywood that he had participated in a teleconference call in which the National Endowment for the Arts -- the largest funder of the arts in the U.S. -- encouraged artists to create pro-Obama art:

I was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to take part in a conference call that invited a group of rising artist and art community luminaries “to help lay a new foundation for growth, focusing on core areas of the recovery agenda -- health care, energy and environment, safety and security, education, community renewal.” [...]

...the National Endowment for the Arts was steering the art community toward creating art on the very issues that are currently under contentious national debate; those being health care reform and cap-and-trade legislation. [...]

NEA is, by the way, the same government agency that used to fund anti-Semitic communist Amiri Baraka, the writer who penned a "poem" after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in which he implied that President Bush had orchestrated the attacks and that Jews who worked in the Twin Towers were given advance notice not to attend work that day.

As an artist myself, I can't see too many other artists jumping on board with this crap.

But then again...I'm not a liberal

What we need here is NEA squared, so after Obama’s address to our nation’s school children, the NEA can help the NEA to direct kids to create pro-Obama art. “How can you draw a picture today to honor Dear Leader? What will that picture look like, and how will it advance Dear Leader’s objectives and help our lives?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.”

0bama is getting way out of hand. ACORN/SEIU and this continuation of our money being spent to spread his propaganda.

No one cares it won’t change anything... but people have no freaking jobs and this money is wasted.

After carefully following key elements of the Nazi playbook, in his campaign for the Presidency, the "beloved one" now hankers after the sort of recognition that those Red Square Pageants used to feature, with masses of Russian Youth carrying giant pictures of Lenin and Stalin past the Kremlin.

In the meanwhile, as he strives for such homage, it probably seems little enough for him to ask American artists to replicate the fantasy art of the Soviet & Nazi regimes, so that Americans may be reeducated in their ideals.
