In a "what goes around comes around" scenario, artist Shepard Fairey's studio building got a taste of his own medicine. I can't help but smile- and I'm sure there's a part of Mr. Fairey that is quietly impressed. For those who don't know, Shepard Fairey, the Barack Obama "Hope" poster creater, spent much of the 1990s as a graffiti artist "decorating" public and private buildings, bridges, and roadways at the expense of taxpayers. Fairey's graffiti was in the same vain as the style his own studio was tagged.
This type of political graffiti has been coming from the left for decades and the vandals were always referred to as "artists" by those in the liberal media. Some of these artists even were looked at as heroes.
There was even a picture of George W. Bush with gun crosshairs over his face plastered in cities. Not only was this not given much, if any, media attention, there didn't seem to be concern about the seriousness of such images on our public streets. Today that would be reason for a FBI investigation.
But now that the tables are turned, the media has seemed to have lost their sense of humor for such acts. I wonder why? (sarcasm)
