The image is a really good work but some folks might take it the wrong way. Anyway, great work.

yeah its more and more into fascism. sad but true. !longlive freedom fries!

Thanks! It's kind of a weird picture, isn't it? I mean, if you stare at it... it almost looks like his head is split into two separate halves along a diagonal - a light half and a dark half. Which, uh, is probably a pretty accurate assessment of his character. Lamentably.

really boganathar - i see no evidence of a light half, in the real thing that is.

Love political, satirical art. Great job!! So now do we have to call a French Poodle a Freedom Poodle?

In fact, "French frieds" originate from Belgium. But since Belgian chocolats are now freedom chocolats, a spacecake will be a freedom cake. Orwell wrote it in the forties: Newspeak, big brother, etc.

It's provocative, all right. Um... can I have your permission to email this image to a friend who will find it hysterically funny? :)

Damn boganathar, how old are you. I agree with 4142, its pretty lame...

LOL! Excellent compositing work, I think you will find though that Rumsfeld looks better with a Hitler moustache though. I am totally anti-war, anti Bush and Blair but I think that unlike Hitler, Bush hasn't commited genocide... yet. And dare I say it, it is too early to post this image. Nonetheless it is preofessionally done, and it gets the message across.

"Any time you see one of these guys with a sign saying Bush is Hitler, drop what you're doing and BEAT HIS ASS!" -Dennis Miller Your preferrence of Saddam Hussein over Bush has been noted. There sure are alot of ignorant left-wing jag-offs around here. Most of them from the formerly relevant and impotent Europe. France and Germany spend one percent of their national budget on national defense because they are hiding behind the American military they hate. Have a nice day.

I have no preference for Saddam Hussein over Bush. You assume too much. Saddam is massively hideous. However... open your eyes. Stop watching CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and so forth. Get on the internet instead. Do your own research. Start thinking for yourself. I am not "U.S. Bashing." I love America. It's one of the absolute greatest countries on the planet. And at the same time, one of the absolute worst. Yet most of its citizens seem generally unwilling or unable to acknowledge the "worst" part. Which is how tyrants like Bush can arise. And yes, he hasn't done anything on the scale of a Hitler - yet. Which is why I say that his behaviour is very similar to Hitler's... IN THE EARLY TO MID THIRTIES. Also - Dennis Miller rules. But on this point, he's a terrified fascist-lapdog idiot. Which is just my opinion, of course. And of course... it isn't the duty of art to always make you feel good and comfortable and happy. That's the duty of television.

Hey, Aprilrosanina - yes, feel free to email it to your friend. In fact, I hereby formally grant anybody permission to forward this image to anybody they want. Also to print it out and stick it anywhere they want. And blow it up and put it on placards, if they want. And, for the opposite end of the political spectrum, I hereby officially grant thee permission to print this out and burn it, or to print it out and rip it to shreds while imagining you're strangling and/or ass-beating Horrible Ignorant Ungratefuly Anti-American Idiots, such as, apparently, me, and so forth. Note - I do NOT, however, grant permission for anyone to strangle/ass-beat me, or anyone else with whose (apparent, though often merely assumed) political views they disagree. That would be crossing a line. :)

The reason you cannot even compare the two is because Bush doesn't make all of the decisions... if what he is attempting to do was so bad... then "Congress" (which is the real power) would step in... I respect your opinion (on the possiblity of war)as everyone has a right to them... but making a comparison like that is truly a vexation... maybe you yourself should do a little research over the internet as I have... I myself do not depend on the media either for I think that they are puppets of our political system at times... I agree that art isn't always going to make you feel all happy and warm inside... but as an American myself... it is truly insulting for he cannot be considered a tyrant, because he is not a dictator and he has limited power in a democracy... have a nice day...

Hi, Odious. Go do a google search on these three things: "Domestic Security Ehancement Act 2003," "Pax Americana," and "Project For a New American Century." Read as many of the resulting articles as you can find the time to. Then tell me if you still believe you're living in a "democracy." And remember... Hitler didn't come to power on an "elect me, I will be your Dictator!" platform. His true intentions only emerged... later. Thanks for your comments.

There is no wrong way to take this, LOL! A blind man could see the similarities in behavior... only gullible, propaganda-fed fools do not.

It is a sadness that only historians will realise, how similiar the two are. But how will the truth recover in a post Bush world?

better keep your day job, boganathar

Hey, 4142. You say "I believe in free speach but" - and that's very interesting. That you say "but." Because... it's my contention that anyone who says "I believe in free speech, BUT" - doesn't believe in free speech. In other words: if you believe that people should be "free" to say whatever they want - JUST AS LONG AS you personally don't feel offended or hurt or confused by what they're saying - you do not believe in free speech. You and George W would no doubt get along famously. He appears to feel exactly the same way. Also - how is this a "direct hit" on your "nation as a whole"? And how is it "US bashing," when it's only a picture of Bush? One man? Just curious...

"but we are here to create art, not make provocations. Am I right?" Well... I dunno, Pontigary. I think the best art is inherently highly provocative. (Not to claim that this pic is "the best art," just stating a principle I kinda believe in). And I'm highly flattered that 4142 now believes I'm some horrific Enemy of the State. It's quite impressive that he's forwarded the image to the FBI. Or claims to've, anyway. Looks like I've committed my first, real, honest, full-blown ThoughtCrime. A single picture that has moved a complete stranger to vow to deck me if they ever meet me on the,,,hey! He erased his first post! The one that had that statement in it! Hmm... interesting... I wonder why? Fortunately, I have it cached. Curious behaviour, though.

Agree with You - that is very provokating. But first of all we are artistic community so

1. I'll express my opinion as an artist: the combination is done perfectly and the facial expression (as far as I see it has also undergone some remake) is very expressive!
2. on the other hand I won't discuss politics here and don't think we should provokate these discussions here...
   Please do get me right - I'm strongly against the war but we are here to create art, not make provocations. Am I right?

funny- great job :)

Disgusting and an insult to the victims of Nazism.

oh hell nah too funny !

Very nicely done from an art point of view doesn't look like a photocombination Nuff-said :)

Great job! I'll get your permission and I'll forward it... thanx for posting it!

Bush is the typifying example of masked imperialism. Ignore the attacks you'll get bog, the blind are often led by the blind.

It's funny how you say stop listening to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and so forth, yet whenever I watch these stations all I see are reports on negative world views of Bush, anti-war rallies, and editorials on how wrong this whole thing is. Any "Bush's Empire", "War for Oil", and "Bush/Hitler" rhetoric is straight from the cookie-cutter liberal media that seems to seep onto TV daily. Simple fact is that you are not as informed as you think you are, and anyone who argues your point very animately is not as informed as they think they are. No side knows as much as they think they do. I am all for speaking your mind and paying attention to your emotions. But off-the-wall, rediculous images and biased comparisons used just to get a rise out of people neither speaks your mind truly or your emotions. Give me something heart felt, give me something moving, don't give me something blatantly made to cause controversy and get a long list of reactions and a spot on the top 20. Find your venting from your heart, don't repeat something I've heard a thousand times in the past month. Give us something new to move us and make us think. Honestly I don't think your image took a lot of thought and is a very shallow attempt at expressing your probably very valid and honest emotions. Take some time, push an envelope, and give us something moving. Thanks.

Keep up the good work....before they come and take you away.

REALLY good comments, FrankieBone. I very much appreciate what you're saying. But I'm really busy at the moment working on tons and tons of non-art-stuff... so I don't have the time right now to actually sit down and start doing labour-intensive envelope-pushing art... but I do plan to, in a couple of months or so. Definitely.

Being a former U.S. Marine I have to tell you that this is probably the best example of who this man is that I have seen to date. I DONT see this as a slam on the U.S.A. but instead a slam on a president who talks of freedom but forces censorship, controls media and flat out lies about what the real reason is for the actions he has us involved in. Not to give any credit to hitler but at least he built germany up before he pulled it down, this guys just pullin us down with a policy of war, death and destruction(I thought education,employment,the economy,ect. were important)guess as long as we just stay silent and let this man pad the wallets of his oil buddies nothing will change..Major Kudoo's to you
