One Nation, Under Obama: Hussein Worshipper Creates Creepy Salute
Dude…just read:
George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above.
“Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama’s nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future,” says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc.
Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. “We wanted to get involved some way,” he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama’s name. “We thought, ‘Let’s try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,’ ” says Husong.
Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. “You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity,” he says.
Their design, unlike Fairey’s, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. “We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm.”

Bash you missed 2 items on this story that are circulating the web.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:19 pmFirst is the sign language sign for asshole is a circle formed with one hand. Extending this to the Obama sign means a bigger asshole.As a kid that was the sign.
Second the similarity to this sign and the Star Trek episode of Return to Eden.

And they are crying about the McCain ad that they insist is a referencing Obama to the anti-Christ and then are making Obama into a cult figure. Love it.
My salute would be to roll back eyes, hang tongue out of corner of mouth, touch finger to temple and rotate wrist back and forth.

It’s only gross if you know what it means.

August 8th, 2008 at 4:19 pmPerhaps a look at the History behind this symbol will enlighten people as to Obama’s politics.
