Shocker: Art exhibit of “The Assassination Of Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton”

The New York Times reports that the New York City Police Department and Secret Service shut down an exhibition yesterday entitled, “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama.”We must forewarn you that these graphic images of Obama includes such things as, nooses painted along the gallery walls, an image of a monstrously enlarged, erect black penis stretching along several walls within the space. There is also a photo of Barack’s young daughters, with the overhead caption reading “nappy-headed hoes,” the artist also features a painting of RFK looming behind Obama, with captions on the opposing walls stating, “Just Passing” and “Passed.”

I must say, this is truly bizarre. One would expect a denizen of the art world to adore Obama. As much as I abhor the thought of an Obama presidency, this crosses a few lines.

Boston-born performance artist, Yazmany Arboleda, however, maintains that he is depicting the media assassination of both Obama and Hillary, (who also has a gallery of considerably less vicious images.)

“It’s art. It’s not supposed to be harmful. It’s about character assassination — about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.” He added, “It’s about the media.”

Though I fail to see how the hell the media is doing anything but bowing down before Obama. This is, however, censorship.

By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers had quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape. The gallery is across the street from the southern entrance to The New York Times building. (Source)
