via Hot Air take a gander at a little guerrilla art in Los Angeles:
This second picture is from Media Bistro
The Eastsider LA has an interesting picture of Gary Leonard photographing a spray-painted sign on the exterior wall of Shepard Fairey’s studio. The sign reads “ACORN Funded Prostitution Zone” and its location suggests that Fairey or someone in his crew is behind the image. Or maybe it’s just another local graffiti artist who wanted to share with his colleagues.Whoever the artist is, we commend their work. According to Eastsider commenters, the sign has been spotted in several locations around Los Angeles.
Fairey might be involved in this art? Oh my, that’s delicious.

Definitely just a one day story.

The ridicule of this sign will sap their “street cred”…
Besides, Obama canceled the missle defense today to shift the debate away from racism and ACORN. But did he use Putin, or did Putin use him?

Of course that is what they claim, but it is the “to do what” that is the focal point. Finally.

Brock Abama sort of lost it, you see – ’tis why the “Jimmah Crater and the Surrogates” band was sent out to play their hit single “Everyone a Raciss.”

Pablo already answered marc who seems to be the awaited 3rd shift, thread spam, edition of the “ACORN is my BFF” troll brigade.

isn’t this getting ridiculous? what happened with the health care debate?
Seems like the federal criminal investigation of Bush Cabinet member G. Norton who illegally used her position to award HUNDREDS of Billions of dollars in oil leases to her future employer and successfully lobbied to change oil leasing laws seems to make the acron story seem like…. well, an acorn. lol!
Look, it’s everyone’s favorite dummy, theas william yelverton!

william yelverton Ph.D. Pickin n’ Pluckin is in favor of single payer health care because his other career option – collecting change in his guitar case from passersby – does not typically include health insurance benefits.

#9, You really need to link to the original source, NPR, where we can see how you have decide to throw some humor our way. Some of the bits.
Thank you, I needed a laugh after a complete day of seeing the trolls come here to defend the old Democratic Party practice of slavery, and sexual slavery at that.

Yup, geoff. That’s convincing to anyone except those who’ve ever known a doctor. Or have ever been within a hundred miles of someone who’s known a doctor.
They just looooooove Medicare and Medicaid, they do.
Shorter “marc”: look! Bunnies!
Even shorter “marc”: TrollHammered.

My favorite part, though, was where “marc” assumed that because Bill Motherfucking O’Reilly favors something, why, we’d all automatically be in favor of it.

And the realtive morality thing is a hoot…
Hear me marc. Yes! That woman who worked for Boooooosh! did break the law…
But it is far and away orders of magnitude less than the criminal acts comitted by ACORN in the last election cycle and the first 8 months of Obama’s Presidency…
And here’s a clue; ad hominem tu quoque is always a fail argument…
pwn3d…

You know, I’m not sure how those avatars suddenly appeared. I have a feeling it was Dan’s bro tweaking the platform…

Well I hope I get to keep mine. It has a visible brain, unlike the troll hereabouts.
One thing about the ACORN scandal. Even if Obama manages to get another “Community Organizer” group like say Gamaliel or PICO to go door to door trying to do his work you don’t need to get mad or rude with them just laugh and say, “Sorry, I don’t associate with ACORN types, bye.”
Comment by Bob Reed on 9/18 @ 12:34 am #
That’s true geoffb,
It’s branded them, kinda like “xerox” for photocopies, and “coke” for cola’s; at least in some parts of the country!

My first thought was that the artist painted the sign on Shepard Fairey’s studio to imply that Fairey has prostituted himself to the Obama administration. But then I’m probably a racist.
