Obama “O” Logo Looks Suspiciously Like Weather Underground Logo

This similarity between Obama’s now-ubiquitous “O” logo and the logo for the official newspaper of the Weather Underground Osawatomie is probably just a coincidence…

…but I don’t think this is:

Zomblog has obtained an extremely rare copy of the first issue of Osawatomie, a newspaper published by the Weather Underground in 1975. . . .
Much of Osawatomie, which was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to “working from the inside” for revolution, concerns itself with the need to encourage “organizers” who will work in “communities” and use “audacity” to bring about “socialism” in America.

Community organizers who use audacity to bring about socialism? Gee, that sounds familiar.
Throw in a little hope ‘n change and you’ve got the Obama campaign platform.

    Yeah, they look almost identical. Except for the fact that the Obama logo is red white and blue instead of red. Oh, and it doesn’t have a lightning bolt. Or that arrow thing. Or any letters. And it is on a blue background, not black. Other than that, it is completely IDENTICAL. You are a fucking idiot. Stop grasping at straws.

    JustSayin’ – You’re right there is no cost to me, but then I did not advocate or support the war of choice in Iraq in the first place.

    Every war is a “war of choice”.

    Nor has there been any cost to those that were gung-ho for the war, with the ongoing costs in blood and treasure. What have you sacrificed? If you served, then thank-you for your service. Otherwise, you’re a mf-ing hypocrite.

    Because if you don’t sign up to become a police officer, yet you want crime to be fought, “you’re a mf-ing hypocrite”?

    Right?

    Get real.

    JustSayin’ – Duh. The bush tax cuts have lead to deficits every single year of his presidency.

    No, all of the spending led to deficits.

    And Iraq? 4500 kids are dead, 30,000 maimed for life and we’ll spend a couple of trillion that we don’t have on it. Not any rational definition of “success” is it?

    Actually, a lot of us consider it a bargain.

    We heard from the likes of you, before the war, that there would be hundreds of thousands dead. Then, people like you kept on moving the goalposts ever lower.

    You made up your mind before the war even got off of the ground.

  • JustSayin’

    You can smell the desperation. After eight years of Republican fuck-up, and an impeding return to a government for, by and of the people, Rube is talking about the similarity between two circles.

    Reduced to comparing circles in a frantic attempt to make something out of nothing. That’s what it has come to – a record of failed ideology that they supported and cheer-led. It’s gotta hurt when everything you have espoused the last eight years has proven an unmitigated disaster.

    It’s going to be a very long eight years for you folks, and I for one am going to enjoy each and every minute of it.

    You know what Obama’s logo really looks like? The old USA Water Polo logo.

    Missing friends. That’s a pretty big cost to me. And I don’t appreciate them being referred to as “children”.

    Money. I have donated heavily to charities that provide troops with care packages and supplies. I have donated every year to charities for troops both in the field and those that have returned home.

    And time, that I have spent at the VA hospitals since I was 16, spending time with our vets (though admittedly most of them are from the Vietnam era).

    I have no desire to serve and be spit on by people like you, have my service denegrated, and then be used as a propeganda tool if I die. There is no hypocracy in supporting my troops in the field of battle. Nor is there any hypocracy in wanting them to win a war for a change…which will lead to less dead soldiers next time around.

    You don’t get to criticize something you have no stake in and then use the general nonservice of others as a defense. Sorry.

    Is that what you call higher taxes and socialistic health care?

    Huh.

    I’d call it something else.

    That’s what it has come to – a record of failed ideology…

    What, exactly, has “failed”?

    I know that’s one of your talking points, but I’m wondering if you could be “just sayin” what the hell you’re actually talking about.

    It’s gotta hurt when everything you have espoused the last eight years has proven an unmitigated disaster.

    “Everything”?

    Like the tax cuts and the Iraq war?

    You’re not very reality based, bud. There have been some successes and some failures, just like every other administration.

    It’s going to be a very long eight years for you folks, and I for one am going to enjoy each and every minute of it.

    You’re a bit presumptuous.

    Duh. The bush tax cuts have lead to deficits every single year of his presidency. They were originally sunsetted for 2010 because the projection of their cost was so damning.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Yeah, it’s a “bargain” when you’re at home in your Mom’s basement eating Cheetos while other Americans are actually, like, dying and getting limbs blown off.

    Considering our enemies kept repeating the Vietnam mantra: You may kill more of us than we will kill of you, but you will tire of the war first…you need to look in the mirror when you wanna point a finger at someone. Al Quida was looking to people like you to derail the war. And they kept killing, long after it was apparent they lost, in the hopes that the anti-war left would get their way AGAIN, and pull us out of another war, to a crippling defeat. A lot of people died because of the left’s propensity to pull us out of wars. But losers like you, when it was pointed out that you were doing what our enemy wanted…you just called us all murderers, talked about Bush lying, and cried about your patriotism (which doesn’t exist) being questioned. And then, knowing full well what the costs would be…you went right back to demanding withdrawl.

    The blame for most of the dead soldiers, and all the Iraqis, is on the left. On. People. Like. You.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    You can quit the phony outrage of being “spit upon”. I direct my anger at those that involved this country in the greatest strategic blunder of all time: Bush, Cheney and their supporters. You try, as all lame-ass republican wusses are wont, to conflate dissent against the Bush administration as “not supporting the troops”. And that silly bullshit is past its prime.

    There’s no “phony outrage”. I’ve not been spit on. And that’s cause I haven’t served. Your kind spit on the soldiers til they die, then use the corpses as propeganda. You’re all scum.

  • JustSayin’

    What is your stake in Iraq? You’re obviously not over there. You’re not fighting. Your taxes haven’t been raised to cover the war. There is no cost to you. Yet you rail against it. Piss off.

    You’re right there is no cost to me, but then I did not advocate or support the war of choice in Iraq in the first place.

    It’s going to be a very long 4 years for everyone if Obama is elected (he won’t get a second term), but who cares? You got to say “fuck you” to Republicans, so you can feel smug when unemployment goes into double digits. Well done, twat!

    Duh. The bush tax cuts have lead to deficits every single year of his presidency. They were originally sunsetted for 2010 because the projection of their cost was so damning.

    EEEHHHH. Wrong answer. The Bush tax cuts have brought in additional revenue, and record receipts. We had deficits before Bush. We’ll certainly have deficits AFTER Bush. The tax cuts didn’t cause them.

    And Iraq? 4500 kids are dead, 30,000 maimed for life and we’ll spend a couple of trillion that we don’t have on it. Not any rational definition of “success” is it?

    Um, no “kids” died. Plenty of men and women died, but they were all brave adults who made the choice to go over there and liberate Iraq. Are we supposed to pretend you give a damn about them? Even though you’re calling them children?

    By that measure WW2 was a failure. Over 100,000 died. More people died on D-Day alone than in 5+ years of the Iraq war. No intelligent person views a war as a success or failure by how many people die. The war is a success if we accomplish our goals…and we almost have in Iraq.

    What is your stake in Iraq? You’re obviously not over there. You’re not fighting. Your taxes haven’t been raised to cover the war. There is no cost to you. Yet you rail against it. Piss off.

  • Pomerdorgrad

    I don’t think they look similar at all. And really, is a political graphics artist today going to hunt for an outdated image from the ’60s, at all?

    The Weather Underground symbol reminds me of Reddy Kilowatt, though.

  • JustSayin’

    Money. I have donated heavily to charities that provide troops with care packages and supplies. I have donated every year to charities for troops both in the field and those that have returned home.

    As have I: donations to the USO, and a week or so gathering and sending school supplies for kids in Iraq.

    You can quit the phony outrage of being “spit upon”. I direct my anger at those that involved this country in the greatest strategic blunder of all time: Bush, Cheney and their supporters.

    Every war is a “war of choice”.

    No doubt the evil men who leveled the World Trade Center on 9/11 would have taken special pains to spare you, Likwid, had you been in the towers, given your heart-warming pacifist view of war as a ‘choice’.

    Perhaps I am mistaken in believing that the 3,000 innocent people slaughtered that day represent a huge ‘cost’ to me, since they obviously mean nothing to you.

  • docdave

    I still consider it a bargain that only 4,200 or so (not 4,500 as you stated) brave soldiers and Marines have died in a major war, in five years,

    Compare that to the 50,000,000 infants that have been slaughted in abortion clinics since Roe v Wade. Interesting how those fretting about military causalties are blind to the number of abortion deaths.

    I don’t get why or how you sometimes misread my intentions. You’ve been here too long. You should know my major positions by now, especially on the war, seeing as how we’ve been in so many conversations about it. Maybe not personally, but oftentimes our pro-Iraq war comments are sandwiched in between each other and I do remember a time or two where we’ve worked off of each other in support of our mutually held beliefs. Maybe you usually don’t read what I say or forget. Who knows.

    When you first came here, you said that I was a “liberal” or something similar. And it was only earlier this week that put me in the same ideological category as Oswaldo, “Hannitized” and nunez. You said, and I quote, that I am “blindly committed to Obama at any cost”. At other times, you have praised me for berating some of the others here (like Rob and The Whistler) for their insistence on not voting for McCain. Both can’t be true, pparets.

    Every war is a war of choice. Sometimes, the choice is down to fight or submit. The point is, one can always chose to submit and/or die if that is what he or she chooses. You don’t have to ever fight in life. You can be slain by your enemies and die, should you so choose.

    Far from this showing a “pacifist view”, the line of argument is rather an attempt at showing how silly the “war of choice” mantra is given to us by those who oppose the Iraq War.

    World War 2 was also a “war of choice”. Europe could have chosen to roll over for Hitler and American could have chosen to roll over for Hirohito.

    Just stating the obvious to those oblivious to it…

    Well,..you can make it insultingly personal if you’d like, but I still consider it a bargain that only 4,200 or so (not 4,500 as you stated) brave soldiers and Marines have died in a major war, in five years, halfway around the world while defeating the fourth largest military in the world.

    I won’t be an asshole and call them “kids” as you did. They are men and women who signed up and went over on their own volition. You see, I give them respect, even when you won’t.

    You were saying?

    Oh yeah, nothing but insults and doom and gloom. What did you do to help the war, anyways? Oh yeah, you sat on the sidelines and heckled.

    Just sayin’

    You completely ignored the statistics of how many lives have been lost through abortion. I guess you support “your leader” in Just Sayin’ that those aren’t “real” people? It is people like you who are so hypocritical that it boggles the mind. I am guessing you are a woman. You should be ashamed you support murder here at home. You are so concerned with spewing invectives and talking points that you don’t stop to take a look at the reality. I have family fighting this war. They are not fighting for Bush. They are fighting for freedom. So that losers like you can get on the internet and excoriate people you do not know. Perhaps you need to pick up a history book instead of watching the Daily Show, and you might understand a wee bit of what others already know.

  • di butler

    I’m still waiting for Just Sayin’ to explain that position on murdering innocent human lives here at home. I guess 50,000,000 dead babies is aok for you! War is always terrible. However, these people who have gone to fight have been adults. They knew that they were fighting for their country and taking the chance that they may not live. These people are brave, intelligent soldiers. Then you have babies who are sitting in their mother’s wombs not knowing they are about to get a sharp scapel jabbed into the back of their neck. Don’t take away from what our soldiers have done by calling them children and acting as if they are fighting in vain.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    Duh. The bush tax cuts have lead to deficits every single year of his presidency.

    Actually, federal tax revenues went up after the Bush tax cuts. The budget deficits shrank. Had spending growth not outpaced revenue growth, we might have seen surpluses.

    Sigh.

    The logo was just to get people to read the rest of the post. You know, the part where the Weather Underground’s stated, long-term goals was to get an audacious community organizer elected.

    I guess that went over everybody’s head.
