Barack Hussein Obama 2008 Presidential campaign (view source)
Revision as of 04:05, October 12, 2010
, 04:05, October 12, 2010added parapgraph about Obama's disturbing fascist graphic design; fixed link in references
Another feature of the Obama campaign is the unruly audience. CNN reported in October of 2008 <ref>http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,3565842635.aspx</ref>, that people are calling John McCain a terrorist at these events. According to Sen. McCain, "I've heard the [label terrorist], unfortunately, at Senator Obama's rallies being said about me. There's always a fringe element." Other eyewitness reports are harsher.

Even stranger, Obama's campaign consistently produced [[fascist]] imagery in its [[propaganda]] throughout its duration. A prime example was the poster produced for the July 24 2008 rally in [[Berlin]]. Journalist Dr. [[Melissa Clouthier]] described these disturbing tendencies in a post written not long after its unveiling:'' "A note about the picture juxtaposition: This is about artistic tone. The profile view. The serious expression. The shading. When I saw the Obama flier picture, my mind immediately called up this Hitler image and I was struck by how similar they are in feel the color choice differences aside. Unnerving really."'' <ref>The entry in its entirety, including the poster in question, can be seen here: [http://www.melissaclouthier.com/2008/07/23/barack-obama-hosts-german-campaign-stop-for-world-presidency/ Obama Campaign Prints German-language Flyers for Berlin Rally]</ref> The shocking similarities are manifest in the Obama campaign's [[typography]] as well, as [[geometric sans-serif]] typefaces were used heavily throughout. Contrary to popular belief, these far more than [[Gothic]] or [[black letter]] scripts characterized the [[Nazi party]]'s aims, with features suggestive of stark, orderly power. [[Futura]], a type very similar and related to the [[Gotham]] typeface favored by the Obama campaign, appeared on the labels of the very [[Zyklon B]] canisters that ended the lives of countless enemies of the [[Third Reich]]. It seems grimly appropriate that Obama picked up where [[Hitler]] left off.

In the weeks leading up to the election, [[MSNBC]] reported the [[FBI]] was looking into ACORN voter fraud in several states.<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27220798/</ref> Obama's staff worked to delay investigations into Obama's former employer. In this way, hundreds of thousands, if not many more, votes may have been overcounted. [http://www.onenewsnow.com/Election2008/Default.aspx?id=297446]
