Warning: excessive adulation of Barack Obama is harmful to the vision and and in extreme cases can even cause hallucinations.
We're all familiar with how an Obamania overdose produced strange tingling sensations in Chris Matthews. A new, virulent strain of the malady has now surfaced, claiming its first victim in the person of Bob Herbert, who on live national TV claimed to see visions of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Washington Monument where none existed.

Psst: Obamania can cause hallucinations. Pass it along ping to Today show list.
I hear it'll give you hairy palms as well.
I watched it, and couldn’t believe it. Hebert is looking for racism anywhere he can find it.
He sounded so stupid, it even shut Mika up for a while.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, this guy, Hebert, is so stupid, he misidentifed the Victory Tower in Germany two ways.
First it was the Leaning Tower of Pizza. Next it was the Washington Monument.
What a stooge, what a moron.
Minority psychosis is extremely virulent and it’s symptoms may lie hidden until busting out in episodes like this.
Too funny..... Bob Herbert, one of the most vicious and pathetic race-baiting morons in the media, a man who owes his unearned position as a NY Times columnist solely to the color of his skin (most certainly not to his (lack of) talent)...... is accusing the GOP of exploiting race????????
What a clown — this guy has never written a column worth reading, in my experience.
“it even shut Mika up for a while.”
I noticed that too. I think she was embarrassed by her fellow Obama fan.
I’m speechless, I can’t believe that Mr. Herbert is serious about this incredibly outrageous claim. Talk about grasping at draws, wow!
What does he mean? Obama is a di*k?
I’ve added a Note at the bottom of the NB item: “Note: As FReeper BF has noted, Mika Brzezinski was uncharacteristically quiet during the segment. Embarrassed on behalf of her fellow Obama fan?”
Clown.
Bob Herbert: Stupid and racist. Affirmative Action at work. I hope they at least ridiculed this ass for his stupidity.
They were very gentle in pointing out his error. I think they were literally embarrassed on his behalf.
“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

See? It's all about "peace, love, togetherness" and "change".
Here are some of Fairey's other masterpieces. No joke. Most of his works are along these same lines. Check the link.

From a 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.'"

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."
REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?
REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?
FONDA: Obama.
REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.
RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore
Friends,
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.
So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.
