so health care reform and graffiti dismantle your heritage…and what….war profiteering and sweatshop labor make you proud to be an American? Although to be fair….I guess that IS what our country is about after all.

That’s right…we’re all supposed to feign IGNORANCE as our nation gets “tanked”…
What were we thinking???

Lemmings to the LEFT…
Ray Charles impersonators to the RIGHT.
Free blinders handed out here.
Change we CAN believe in.

It’s not anger, it’s ignorance.

Jimmy, that would be a hate crime. Is that what you want me to say?

Lot of anger around here.

No, silly rabbi, you can only do that with Christians.

How about a homosexaul, jew, arab or a black man hanging in a tree with a sign that says healthcare dies, is that art, Dan, do you support that free expression?

Why is it if somebody disagrees with your point of view on a piece of art that you IMMEDIATELY feel the need to point to the most extreme examples of what some people consider art and then imply that I would support it?

And really, did you expect all the entries of a video contest to look as if they were put forth by Boy Scouts?

Did I like the video? Not really. Do I support free expression? Sure do.

Spalding,

It’s not art. I suppose if it was an abstract depiction of Christ, and people desecrated it you would be fine with that too?

Gee, and to think people used to get ARRESTED for “tagging”…how much more “civilized” we’ve become.
Gotta stroke that “ME-generation’s” self-esteem, don’t we?
Oh, by the way, would you like a crucifix for that urine specimen you’re carrying?
After all, THAT is considered “art”.

‘Nuff said.

Geez, what would you expect in a contest titled “Health Reform Video Challenge”?
This is a far stretch from actually desecrating a flag. It’s art with a message via the MTV video generation. Get over it.
