Dillweeds of the Day: Right-Wing Poster Posters

Right-wing nutjobs Patrick Ruffini and Melissa Clouthier are upset about a campaign poster that they think evokes fascist imagery. Ruffini calls it “breathtakingly arrogant.” Here’s Clouthier:

It is seriously unnerving propaganda. What are [they] thinking? This is nuts.

Well, I don’t blame them. Look at this:

Wait, hang on a second. My producer is telling me I put up the wrong image. You mean it’s not that? Seriously? Come on. That is one scary poster. It has to be that one. No? Are you absolutely sure? I mean look at it. McCain thinks he’s Jesus or something.

Okay, okay. Here’s what Ruffini and Clouthier are actually panting about:

Oh. My. God.

It’s in German.

And he’s going to be… wait for it… in Germany.

Fascist!!!

No wonder they’re so upset.

I think we’ve found our Dillweeds of the Day.

You’re right, they were overly fixated on the German and it clouded their judgment. It’s obviously not a fascist poster.

MUCH more reminiscent of Socialist Realism, don’t you think? Which is more ideologically consistent, too. Obama as the New Soviet Man. Put Lenin in there and replace the German with Cyrillic…

Although, now that I think about it, more than anything it reminds me of the video for “Go West” by the Pet Shop Boys.
