  • Maybe each one of our soldier people should have an assigned Secret Service agent just in case another beneficiary of the official averted gaze, anti-war screed spewing underachieving Muslim psychiatrist decides to go ballistic at some army base in the near future. Plenty of warning and all, you know.

  • He could have also subtitled his work with a preference to drawing attention to racism, sexism and homophobia. I did not see any exhibits of the sexual acts of gays, or of Hillary's vagina. Just Obama's of which he assumed was long and dark. I am not so sure he has examined his own racism.

  • Unneccessary, disgracful and totally disrespectful. It seems to me that HE'S the only one preoccupied with Obama's dick, and the remark about his young innocent daughters, just shameful. God bless(help) America....

  • Where did he get the penis from his closet, cause it looks like he takes from behind!!.........Oh my GOD!! TOO FUNNY!! I was chewing when I read that and the food almost FLEW out of my mouth!

  • even if it is racist right?

  • Actually, his mistake was grammatical: he should have used quotation marks to avoid appearing as if he himself were calling for an assassination of either of the two candidates. because both have been constantly threatened, the Secret Service HAD to step in because of the poor presentation of the work. It could've been a very interesting exhibit, except, I think he is still growing as a person. That limited his ability to clearly communicate his intention.

  • What did he get the penis from his closet, because he looks like he takes it from behind!! Gee....what a way to start a future race war!!

  • Regardless of the artistic merits, Yazmany Arboleda's exhibition violates no law. Police interference with Arboleda's lawful activities and Arboleda being hustled away for interogation by the Secret Service begs the question of who might the law-breakers be in this story.

  • Reopened June 5th in Manhattan at a different location. Love live Freedom of expression
