Missile Defense Agency Logo Angers Right

CBS News ^ | 2/24/10

[Iron Munro]

The Drudge Report and other conservative sites are highlighting a newly-unveiled logo for the U.S. Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency and complaining that the new logo (pictured at left) is reminiscent of both the Obama campaign logo and an Islamic flag.

"the new MDA shield appears ominously to reflect a morphing of the Islamic crescent and star with the Obama campaign logo," writes Big Government's Frank Gaffney. "… Team Obama is behaving in a way that -- as the new MDA logo suggests -- is all about accommodating that 'Islamic Republic' and its ever-more aggressive stance."

Critics, meanwhile, are mocking the uproar from the right. Tweeted "Zeus": "Drudge is hinting the new Missile Defense Agency logo resembles an Islamic flag's star & crescent. SECRET OBAMA AGENDA!"

The MDA describes itself as a Department of Defense "research, development, and acquisition agency" that is "focused on retaining and recruiting a dedicated workforce interested in supporting our national security." The agency is engaged in development and testing of an integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System.

I am surprised CAIR has not commented on this yet.

[ari-freedom]

and this Obama tree ornament just happened to look exactly like Mao Zedong. What a coincidence.

Missile Defense Agency Logo Angers Right

Translation: "Hey, Right Wing! Here's something WE want you to be angry about!"

Yes, we ARE the stupid party.

[F15Eagle]

CAIR is probably too busy praising alluh because of the stupidity of the infidels that voted for Obama and his gang of America-haters

[opentalk]

Team Obama is behaving in a way that -- as the new MDA logo suggests -- is all about accommodating that 'Islamic Republic' and its ever-more aggressive stance."

I would bet this is bothering more people than just conservatives. This is blatant.

[Tublecane]

That cannot be a coincedence. What the hell?

[r9etb]

Looks to me like it borrows from the logo of their prime contractor...

[Deb]

Speak for yourself.

[r9etb]

Speak for yourself.

Deb, this is a preposterously stupid thing to get all pissed off about. Look at my #8 above, and see if you can't find even greater similarity.

[Bitsy]

What about the good old American Flag, you dopes?

[F15Eagle]

The Boeing symbol doesn’t have a crescent moon.

Not even close.

[F15Eagle]

Unless you’re counting the outer ring of course. But it’s still kinda bizarre what with the Iranian Space Agency thing.

[Romulus]

Thanks, I will. And also think for myself.

[Deb]

I’m hardly “pissed”, but I have to say I was stunned to see a crescent and obvious star in the logo of a US government agency. I remember when the Democrats were SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY because the bookcase in back of a Mike Huckabee commercial looked like a cross.

[F15Eagle]

yep

[buccaneer81]

You’ll love the Flight 93 memorial... (The rest of us are rather furious about it.)

[GSWarrior]

I am not a graphic designer but sometimes I play one at work. I’d like to offer my services to design something ORIGINAL for the Agency.

[Romulus]

Why do you say that? Are you suggesting something?

[Psalm 73]

It’s the “O” infection - we have let it into the body, now it’s multiplying and spreading to everything.

[Romulus]

I was stunned to see a crescent and obvious star

It's not a star; it's an explosion.

[kcvl]

Hey, CBS, how about doing some real reporting (getting off your *sses) instead of sitting around reading websites!

[buccaneer81]

Why do you say that? Are you suggesting something?

I'm suggesting your lack of concern is rather sad. Agendas do exist, and Muslim influences in these symbols are evident in a big way.

[stormer]

No, that ornament looks exactly like a painting by influential American artist, Andy Warhol.

[r9etb]

The Boeing symbol doesn’t have a crescent moon. Not even close.

Neither does the MDA logo. It's just the Boeing arc, rotated.

Really, some folks get bugs up their butts over the stupidest damned things. Does it ever bother you that it allows other folks to play you like a harp?

[r9etb]

Gasp! You don't mean.... the MDA logo symbolizes an intercept trajectory and its culmination, do you?!? Oh, the Obama-loving bastards!

No if you will excuse me, I really must leave now and run in frantic circles whilst wailing and waving mine arms.

[GatorGirl]

Right....reporting on Twitter. What the heck?

[r9etb]

I'm suggesting your lack of concern is rather sad. Agendas do exist, and Muslim influences in these symbols are evident in a big way.

Let me suggest something to you: some folks on this thread are out of their minds, and it's evident in a big way.

[Romulus]

I have plenty of concern for things that matter, but I am rather prickly about other people trying to manage them for their own agendas. I don’t care for radical islam either, but that doesn’t mean I fret about exploding mullahs under my bed.

[buccaneer81]

It's just the Boeing arc, rotated.

It's just a Sanskrit thing, rotated...

[Deb]

No. Its an explosion in the OLD logo. Its a crescent moon and star in the new one. Apparently you aren't capable of discerning the difference.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to defend it, but I'm sure Allah appreciates your support.

[GatorGirl]

The arc is similar but he’s commenting on the crescent shape. Boeing’s is a perfect circle.

We all get the imagery but using the Obama color scheme as well as making the circle (i.e. the globe) look like a crescent....well...

Why did the logo need changing anyway? The original was perfectly acceptable. Don’t they realize that changes like this cost a lot of money? Idiots!

[buccaneer81]

CAIR loves folks like you.

[Romulus]

I really must leave now and run in frantic circles whilst wailing and waving mine arms.

That's what all true conservatives do, I'm told. Say, have you checked Fox to see what color Threat Level we're at? I need to know just how government-terrorized I should be.

[Romulus]

Peace Be Upon You. Doh! I’ve been outed!

[F15Eagle]

Nah, just the "coincidence" of some Obama logos that accidentally look like a crescent moon from a man whose pastor was best buds with NOI's Calypso Louie and was an Israel-hater. And was to be his "spiritual adviser".



After all, it's not Obama's appointee Holder uses folks who defended muslim terrorists - oh wait, he does - just another coincidence of course

U.S. Atty Gen. Holder admits 9 Obama Dept. of Justice appointees worked for terrorist detainees

Zero budget for missile defense! Now thats BO’s idea of defense spending.

[roses of sharon]

Hussein’s defenders have a pattern that is clear.

As does Obama, he loves symbolism, and this logo is obvious.

[buccaneer81]

Spot on.

[r9etb]

CAIR loves folks like you.

A sane person wouldn't have written that; or would at least have blushed in embarrassment for having done so.

Get a grip.

[r9etb]

That's what all true conservatives do, I'm told.

Life is just not as interesting for us RINO CAIR-funded Obama defenders, as it is for these folks. It's starting to make me jealous: I'm considering surgery....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I am surprised CAIR has not commented on this yet.

You're expecting an objection from that goup of knuckle draggers?

I'm sure the LOVE it.

[Fresh Wind]

[buccaneer81]

I call ‘em as I see ‘em.

[ETL]

The old one (below) has the red and yellow colors of communist China and Soviet Union. Also, a missile shooting through what could pass for a red communist star. Maybe Obami the commie just couldn't handle this imagery, or was asked by his comrades overseas to replace it.

So do I.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It's not a star; it's an explosion.

In the old logo you posted, it is. Clearly. Not so in the new one.

Plus, juxtaposed with what is clearly a crescent, it is even less an explosion and more a star.

[ETL]

Thanks for posting the SEIU logo earlier today. That is where I got it from. Did you come across it yourself, or did see it posted somewhere?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Son of a bitch. Can they be any more “in your face?”
