The Worst Painting In American History

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

No, not the above. That's just a live camera feed from Ron Paul headquarters. The worst painting in American history, at least in my humble opinion, is a limited edition "artwork" done in the Republican candidate's honor by one of his crazy supporters (sorry for the redundancy.)

And here it is:

 

We hate to steal text straight from a website, but Awful Link of the Day puts it brilliantly: 

In this painting, we can see that the transvestite mercenary is scratching her balls, to further exemplify the audacity of making a shitty kilt from Old Glory with her prison shiv (which is attached to her right thigh). She is furious that Big Government put that ugly metal clamp on her forehead while in prison, and wants the sweet revenge that only the 2nd Amendment can give. The sign that warns Trolls to stay away is a stark contrast to Libertyland's Weed Trees, which stand behind this well armed shemale & a bridge over troubled oil. The Goat represents Liberty: it has no legs to stand on & gets in the way of the Weed Trees. This painting will cost you $1,250/

Why are you continually dissing Ron Paul?  McCain and the other candidates are FAR crazier...  What's wrong with you people?  Supporting peace and shrinking government is crazy?

first off, cheers to the Ron Paul comment - he just sounds crazy because we have been listening to those other lying, power hungry lunatics for so long.

Secondly - I just bought a copy of that print. That hideous print. Its power was too awesome to resist. Thanks a lot.

If anyone thinks Ron Paul is really any better than the other republican nominees out there, do your goddamn homework.
