Raw Story reporter
Blue Lemur is reporting sitings of billboards paid for by Clear Channel.
"A billboard recently put up in Orlando bearing a smiling photograph of President Bush with the words "Our Leader" is raising eyebrows among progressives who feel the poster is akin to that of propaganda used by tyrannical regimes."
"Common Cause, the public interest advocacy group, said the billboard probably wasn't a violation of campaign finance regulations, but expressed concern about Clear Channel's history and their use of billboard space to support the Administration."
So, let me get this straight. We tear down statues of Sadam Hussein in Iraq, but should I be be expecting to see a statue of Presidente Bush outside my office, like the huge statue of Mao in Shanghai, or the paintings you see of other dictators around the world?
The cult of personality begins.
