Political Pranksters

 

*UPDATE*  They hit Detroit this morning! *UPDATE* #2 They Hit New Hampshire!

 “Quarantine Peters” Street Art Lands in Detroit

 

Activists in Michigan say Gary Peters has a toxic relationship with Obamacare. They voiced their opinion with guerrilla art on Detroit streets early today near Wayne State University, where Obama is expected to speak tonight.  

 

Highlighting the “Obama Zombie” theme, the art first appeared in the city of Lansing earlier this week, but has now spread to the Eastern side of the state, appearing on electrical boxes and busy bus stops.

 

No group has taken credit for the prank, but an anonymous source said, ”It was a very small band of conservatives outside of the GOP who decided to take action”.  Peters has struggled to overcome his association with Obamacare, and the source said that the plucky activists want to remind voters of that uncomfortable fact.

 

This type of street art was first seen in Los Angeles, but the phenomenon appears to be spreading as individual conservatives become bolder.Quaranteen-Peters-Brush-Watson

Quaranteen-Peters-Warren-AnthonyMysterious L.A.-style art activism popped up in Lansing, Mich. yesterday, raising suspicions that not only do mild-mannered conservatives “get” the culture, but they’re suddenly a little more daring in their activism. I understand that the individuals involved spent less than $50 and a only a few hours of time to achieve this protest against Democrat Gary Peters.

What do Rico-pals think about this? Is it time for Conservatives to get hip with protest art, or should we tone it down? Full disclosure; I was tipped off to the prank, and took photos yesterday. I watched as some nearly apoplectic democrat ripped some of these down.DSC00993

    How about this for a Hillary Clinton book signing.

    It’s humorous.  But one downside is the anonymity.  On the other hand, the anti-free speech advocates can’t regulate this, unless the perpetrators are caught.

    Do remember, though, like much “street art”, it might be illegal, as in defacing public or private property.  Keep in mind that if you engage in this, there’s risk involved.  If it’s worth it to you, fine, just go in with your eyes open.

    Carol:

    6foot2inhighheels:OK, I just got word that they hit the area around Wayne State in Detroit near where Obama will be speaking today. I’ll update with a post when I receive the photos!

    Can you also post pics of the apoplectic Democrats? That would make my day.

    I wish!  But I don’t have signed release forms from them to use the images, and one must be very careful when dealing with litigious libs.

    What do projects like this require?

    Motivated and organized volunteers.

    I stick with my position that politics almost always comes down to which side can muster the most (and best) troops.

    These projects require a connection to someone who can create the art, but anyone can print them up at Staples, buy some clear tape or wallpaper paste, get in the car and drive around at night to put them up.  Then, call a photographer to go out and take good clean pictures of your work. Stay anonymous.  I have a feeling this phenomenon will spread all across the country.
