    Yeah,  go to Breitbart and you can be angry with them.  It's the lead story over there.

    Or I can send you the one in my possession.  It's not my favorite and won't frame it.

    What am I missing here? Other than one of the ugliest posters I've ever seen.

    From Breitbart: A Pearl Jam poster for a get-out-the-vote concert on Monday promoting Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) features a dead President Donald Trump and an American bald eagle eating the remains of his corpse. Matt Rosendale’s Senate campaign called the poster “reprehensible.”

    I don't mind the rome is burning message but to show a dead president and a bald eagle eating the corpse is no way to drum up support.  If anything it makes this senatorial race even nastier.  I hope tester approved this poster before the show.

    Thanks, I had to blow it up to see some of that imagery (was still blurry) but see what your saying

    Right.  Because politics in this country isn't nasty right now.  I'm really tired of the group that has co-opted the most fringe of our society, the racists, and religious zealots crying foul over art, comedy, and whether or not athletes stand for the anthem.  But I guess when you're embarrassed for yourself, and have no other leg to stand on, this is what you reach for.

    Seems that the right is having a little trouble with concepts like symbolism and metaphor.

    Lots to analyze in this poster. Didn't even notice the eagle having a snack at first. Is that Pence in the right hand corner? Who's on the tractor?
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Maybe some people would prefer if the poster mocked people with special needs and captured and tortured soldiers

    Wow.

    I never looked that closely at the images. I have a greater appreciation for the art work.

    It is ironic that the same group that is expressing outrage over 'illustrations' ... expressed outrage over Islamic extremists expressing outrage over 'illustrations' at Charlie Hebdo.

    Guess I could have said “most artists lean to the left” and I would also have been correct.

    Does anyone else think the most outrageous part of the poster is Tester ramping over the carnage on a tractor? Hilarious
