This picture started appearing all over the internet a few weeks ago. It’s content and then-unknown author was quickly denounced as racist by major new media. (See here, here, and here.)
From prisonplanet.com: “It turns out the image was created not by a Republican white supremacist but by a Muslim-American of Palestinian descent who didn’t vote for Obama or McCain.
Firas Alkhateeb, a 20-year-old senior history major at the University of Illinois, created the image as a reaction to the Christ-like status being afforded to Obama by the establishment, and also in protest at Obama’s appointment of Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff.
‘Emanuel is a fervent anti-Islam voice in Washington,’ he wrote on his Flickr page. ‘A Zionist, he takes a hard line stance against the Palestinian cause, and shows a clear anti-Muslim racism.'”
During the Bush administration, much of the anti-war movement was portrayed as the fringe and irrelevant left. Now, much of the anti-socialized-healthcare movement is portrayed as the fringe and irrelevant right. In both cases, it’s individual liberty vs. government power. In both cases, the conflict is portrayed as left vs. right.
ha, very interesting because other articles (all msm of course) ive read about this have totally denied any political intent on this guys part. basically they all said he did it cause he was just bored and found this joker program, no mention of islam, palestine etc.
