HOPE
Obama HOPE artist Shepard Fairey was beaten bloody in Copenhagen by anarchists who told him to, “Go back to America.” The Guardian reported:
When graffiti artist Shepard Fairey turned his talents to US politics, his reward was international acclaim and a letter of thanks from Barack Obama. When he employed a similar tactic in Denmark, however, the response proved altogether less edifying.
Last weekend, Fairey – creator of the famous “Hope” poster that came to encapsulate Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign – was beaten up after the opening of his exhibition at a Copenhagen gallery.
Earlier this month he was involved with a controversial mural that has enraged leftwing anarchists throughout the city.
“I have a black eye and a bruised rib,” Fairey told the Guardian.

leftwing anarchists This makes no sense. Yes, most people callinmg themselves anarchists are leftwing but that's not anarchy at all. An anarchist should have no problems with mega-corporations beyond the control of government - so why do they attack Starbucks, etc? If anything an anarchist should be "right wing" but they're not - they're really communists and frequently call for more government control - not less.

I am sorry this happened to him. No one should take joy in someone being beaten.
His body will heal, but his mind will still be poisoned. The beating he received won’t change it.

So . . . Was half of his face a dull blue and the other half blood red?

Then they apparently didn't beat him hard enough.

“I have a black eye and a bruised rib,” Fairey told the Guardian. What a pansy. I have received much worse than that from a High School hockey game.
