I'm a pretty big proponent of the 1st Amendment, but anyone with a breath should know that you do not put the word "assassination" anywhere in the same vicinity of someone under secret service protection. They take that pretty darn seriously. And the guy didn't do himself any favors by bolding just the word "assassination" in red. Based on the pictures, they did mainly seem just stupidly offensive (I agree that using the picture of his daughters was way below the belt and the penises pointing to the "Once you go Barack..." saying, I mean really, that's bordering on juvenile), but the nooses hanging everywhere and the painting with Obama in the foreground and the image of RFK ominously over his shoulder probably were more than a little over the line. And I agree, it would have been interesting to see the Hillary pictures, I can only imagine the level of misogyny on display.... His saying this is about the media is a cop-out -- if he's truly an artist who wants the right to his expression, then at least admit to what you're expressing.
