Activists in Michigan say Senate candidate Gary Peters has a toxic relationship with Obamacare. They voiced their opinion with guerrilla art on Detroit streets early today near Wayne State University, where Obama is expected to speak tonight. Highlighting the Obama Zombie theme, the art popped up in the city of Lansing earlier this week, but has now spread to the Eastern side of the state, appearing on electrical boxes, busy bus stops, and the ubiquitous ruins of the city. No group has taken credit for the prank, but an anonymous source said, It was a very small band of conservatives outside of the GOP who decided to take action. Peters has struggled to overcome his association with Obamacare, and the source said that the plucky activists want to remind voters of that fact. This type of street art was first seen in Los Angeles, but the phenomenon may spread nationwide as individual conservatives become bolder. Political Pranksters
*UPDATE* They hit Detroit this morning!
Mysterious L.A.-style art activism popped up in Lansing, Mich. yesterday, raising suspicions that not only do mild-mannered conservatives get the culture, but theyre suddenly a little more daring in their activism. I understand that the individuals involved spent less than $50 and a only a few hours of time to achieve this protest against Democrat Gary Peters.
What do Rico-pals think about this? Is it time for Conservatives to get hip with protest art, or should we tone it down? Full disclosure; I was tipped off to the prank, and took photos yesterday. I watched as some nearly apoplectic democrat ripped some of these down.
