Stupid me. As it turns out, there is, in fact, another “Nike” logo on the books–and it bears a striking resemblance to Obama’s. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on this 1972 poster for presidential candidate George McGovern (hat tip to Jerome Armstrong):
Just wait ’til Hillary Clinton gets her mitts on this. Of course, Obama is a “new day” type of candidate–much like McGovern was–so the rising sun imagery is probably more coincidental than referential. And because it’s based on something organic–his initial–Obama’s logo is definitely an improvement over his predecessor’s. But now that the whole Deval Patrick “plagiarism” gambit is petering out, Sen. Clinton is probably on the hunt for another line of attack. Enter good old George. What better way to sink Obama among conventionalist working-class whites in Ohio and Texas, Mark Penn will mutter, than by accusing him of swiping from McGovern? I can hear it now: Are we ready to watch another anti-war “movement” candidate ride the support of young voters to a crushing 22-point loss? I mean, look at that groovy logo!
Acid, amnesty and abortion, people. Acid, amnesty and abortion.
