*gasp* Obama portrait includes SECRET SPERM!

Actually, in reading up on the artist, it's apparently his 'trademark' to put a sperm in all his paintings, regardless of who it is.
I still don't see the big deal, since it's not a "secret" that he does it.

It's not so much that, Hol, as it is that Hannity is grabbing on to it like a fat kid does cake. There's nothing he won't stoop to.

Weird. I just got the same thing. I pulled the article from his Twitter feed. Maybe he got tired of being embarrassed and he removed it?

"Holy **** the executive branch just let two wife beaters go after having covered it up for a year and almost promoted one of them despite it!"​

Right...

"OMG! A sperm!"​

Somebody on Ann Coulter's twitter feed is running a rumor that Joy Reid's show got cancelled, and you oughta see those people cackling and crowing about how she should get fired. The idiots don't realize that the show that was cancelled was in 2015 - before she got this new show.

Dumb asses. :roll:

That's a universal problem with this generation. Everyone forgot how to research things completely, and then when I do it, they think I'm amazing at digging up information. NO. I just used Google! I guess it's good for job security. Not so good for making small talk since nothing quite shocks me, and likely if you're telling me about a news story, I've most likely heard about it. This and the thread topic. I did not catch however.

Also right: "Jebus has forgiven Trump for sleeping with that porn star."

Poor Sean and company, they must miss the days when Obama was in the White House and they could wax indignant over his taste in mustard. Of course they had to pounce the minute he was back in the news. Are they really being more absurd than usual.?

I think the Trump derangement people are taking this same kind of foolishness to a new level we have not seen before.
Howling at the moon a year after inauguration? Really?
How many Republicans rioted and burned for several days after Obama's election?
How many Republicans riot and burn to prevent liberal speakers from talking on campuses?

YES, the Obama derangement people are really over-the-top in their reaction to silly "ho-hum" stuff, but the Trump derangement people take it to the streets and riot and burn.
The reaction and comparison of the two are not even close.

The Obama derangement people talk, blog, and post on the internet.
The Trump derangement people riot and burn.
Big difference.
 
Hannity has deleted his tweets, because, once again, he made a complete idiot out of himself.

Sean Hannity Promotes, Then Deletes Bonkers Obama Portrait ‘Secret Sperm’ Conspiracy Theory
Hours after publishing, the Fox News host deleted a tweet and article about ‘inappropriate sexual innuendo’ in Obama’s official portrait.

The official portraits of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama received a wide array of reactions when they were unveiled on Monday. But none has been quite as insane as the one Sean Hannity promoted on his Twitter account Tuesday afternoon.

“Obama's portrait—a stark contrast to predecessors with inappropriate sexual innuendo,” the Fox News host tweeted, linking to a truly bizarre article on his website written by “Hannity Staff.”

“PORTRAIT PERVERSION: Obama Portrait Features ‘SECRET SPERM,’ Artist Joked About ‘Killing Whitey’” the headline screamed. And it only got weirder from there.

The evidence for the former claim comes from a 2008 New York Times article—conveniently not “fake news” when it supports Hannity’s agenda—that reports Wiley’s portraits “initially depicted African-American men against rich textile or wallpaper backgrounds whose patterns he has likened to abstractions of sperm.” Hannity’s piece includes a close up of a vein in Obama’s forehead in the portrait that someone on his “staff” apparently thinks looks sperm-like.

It appears that the whole “sperm” theory originated on—where else?—4chan, where a thread was posted on Monday proclaiming, “Official Portrait of Obama has SPERM on his face!!!” That post just happened to include the same close up of Obama that Hannity used on his site.

I take it you didn't read the link ... :lol:
 
I always said Hannity was a meathead. Now we can all agree it's a fact. Yet he's #1 in cable news.

In other words he's #1 among "conservatives." He's clearly irrational. Yet, he and Trump talk all the time.

Our country is in the hands of crazy irrational ignorant people.

This is the start of it. I'm laughing at the source.
Users on an anonymous image board discovered there appears to be a sperm cell drawn onto Barack Obama's forehead in his official presidential portrait, which now hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery.



Some may simply discount it as a vein, but oddly enough the artist who painted this portrait, Kehinde Wiley, has a history of adding semen into his art:

Quoting the users of an anonymous message board? This is a story???

I honestly don't care about this. Hannity probably thinks it's connected with the Hillary deepstate or something, but he's pretty low rent himself - maybe low enough to retire to an anonymous message board.

Nope, just his write-up on the artists' "fascination" with inserting sperm images in his portraits ... and pointing such out in the paintings.

And here is a write-up of an obvious admirer of said artist, who not only loves the sperm images but also the "subtle" hints of other images the "artist" incorporates in his paintings:

I use Google a lot too, and I wouldn't have caught this article, or the one about the lizard spies, if I hadn't been goofing off on Twitter instead of doing homework, like I should be doing.
