Did you even listen to the audio?

The simple fact that ANY preference is given for the sake of "advertising" the administration's domestic political agenda makes the entire episode at the very least suspect, and more than likely unlawful.

Answer the question.

I think the bigger question is why do we even have a NEA? Seems like pork to me. This seems like one of those things that could be safely eliminated.

More quotes from the audio:

The president has a clear arts agenda and has been very supportive of using art in creative ways to talk about the issues we face in this country, continue to get involved in those things, to support the president but to do things we are passionate about but to also push the president and to push his administration

Now tell me that has nothing to do with using the NEA for politics.

Nope, no inappropriate use of the NEA and tax payer money here... not at all. :roll:

This is a funny fact. I keep seeing the talking heads on tv reference the 50% approval rating and saying stuff like, "no president has been reelected when their approval rating was below 45%" or something. The election is over three years away. christ.

What's your point posting that garbage?

Lol, to be fair, shiner had a ton of Nazi art left over from his years long anti-AnandTech Moderator campaign and, as a strict conservationist, he doesn't like to waste.
