Aside from his Ted Cruz starter spank-bank, Sabo is also the artist behind Flying Monkeys for Hillary (because Wicked Witch, get it?) and the special Barack Obama-edition "Big Brutha is Clocken You, B" poster (because Obama's black, get it?).behind the
Here he is posing in front of one of his works, entitled "Skins," and subtly explained by Sabo this way: "THE ONLY THING OBAMA IS WORTH IS THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN AND LORD KNOWS HE PULLED IT OVER ON MANY OF YOU RETARDS."
Then, there's his "Fag the New Nigger" campaign, which sounds like it might at least be a tin-eared plea for tolerance of LGBT people, but is actually just a way to make fun of gay people, while also claiming permission to orgasmically use the n-word because he heard a gay say it.
Sabo also has thoughts on "the problem with jews":
THE PROBLEM WITH JEWS IS THAT THEY HAVE THIS TOGGLE SWITCH. THIS SELF DESTRUCT TOGGLE SWITCH THAT LAYS DORMANT WITHIN THEIR GENETIC CODE.
Then, there's his Twitter feed, which features this reaction to Questlove's lampooning of Michele Bachmann with a derogatory Fishbone track:
@jimmyfallon You're not even that funny. Tell your monkey to play a better song next time.

Racist as Fuck™? Yes, but at least he didn't USE ALL CAPS that time. That's probably the guy's worst quality, or at least, the one most likely to get him blocked by conservatives on Twitter.
So, conservatives, the next time you get to wondering why people think "racist" when they think "Republican," remember how you all reacted when you found out what a racist nutbag this guy was, i.e., ignoring it and continuing to worship him.
Update: As I mentioned on Twitter, but not here, the media ought to be asking Ted Cruz if he's still into the guy. I asked, let's see if anyone else does. Wolf Blitzer did a hell of a job with Nugent and Abbott, so I nominate him.
Update 2: Sabo stopped by to comment, but got deleted for violating the rules, along with a bunch of his fans. Here's what he had to say on Facebook (again WITH THE ALL CAPS, but bonus points for using the correct form of "you're"):
I WANT TO THANK THE "PROGRESSIVE" BLOGGER MR. TOMMY CHRISTOPHER. WITH ONE BLOG POST HE MANAGED TO GET ALL THE REPUBLICAN PUSSIES I "WORK" WITH TO TUCK TAIL AND RUN LIKE THE LITTLE GIRLS THAT THEY ARE.
HEY TOMMY! YOU'RE A MAN WITH BALLS. IF EVER YOU WANT TO COLLABORATE ON A PROJECT GIVE ME A CALL. (310) 271-9400
Speaking of Republican pussies, I have yet to see or hear any of them disagree with Sabo, so they obviously are no more inclined to piss off his racist fans than they are to "work" with him. Seems like Sabo is caught between a squishy rock and a soft place.

ReplyDeleteTommy, I see you've already gotten your talking points from the White House. How well coached you are to get them out so quickly. I've known "Sabo" since 7th grade. He doesn't have a racist, misogynist, homophobic bone in his body. I personally know his home is always open to people who are down on their luck. Many times he has only met these people that day. Tommy, have you done that or have you just talked about it? Don't judge Sabo until you know so much more about him.
ReplyDeleteYes, let's continue to label people as haters-racists-phobics, et. al., whenever they make a point that makes us uncomfortable or with which we merely disagree. By all means, let's make these arguments without examining context, content, or logic. These attacks on freedom of expression are the result of the Orwellian thinking that has spawned the banning of art and literature, as such "thinking" is devoid of the ability to understand context. One does not have to agree with what is being said, but one should first know WHAT is being said. Moreover, beware of the literalists and those who label everything and everyone with which/whom they disagree as evil, in an attempt to tell you what to think and keep you from checking it out and thinking for yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhy should progressives come up with an actual argument for anything when they can just call ANYBODY WHO DARE NOT LIVE ON THE DNC PLANTATION...racist. Oh and you have to love that the same WHITE GUILT RIDDEN shmucks who lecture other people about stereotyping... call any blacks who don't act like a character from 'Im Gonna Get You Sucka' an ‘Uncle Tom'..lol. Progressives are losers in life who do everything they can to keep others from doing better than themselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't think SABO is racist. I think he just wonders why so many minorities get caught up in group thought. I think he is an independent thinker and wants to know why everybody else isn't as well.
ReplyDeleteAMEN !
DeleteWell said!
DeleteI love the conspiracy theory progressives have that the reason they are broke is because there are old white guys hiding all the worlds money in secret cave somewhere. #Tinfoilhatprogressives
ReplyDeleteName calling is what all liberals resort to when they can't deal with the hard facts and with those speaking the truth! Sabo speaks his mind and more often than not he is saying what every conservative is too afraid to say because of people like you who will slap a bigot or whatever other title seems to be the trend of the time to them. Like Sabo said, visit his site : unsavoryagents.com and see for yourself what he stands for! I have been following his work for a few years now and if I were to attach a one-word label to him it might be more along the lines of Brave
ReplyDeleteClearly this artist has hit a nerve. I know SABO to be introspective non mysogynist kind and truthful!
ReplyDeleteTruth is stranger than fiction and
he tells the truth whether you want
to hear it or not. I kne it wouldn't take long for the inmates(progressives/liberals) to lose their minds. It's a lol moment to see the heads implode!
What is the truth he is telling in his Cruz poster? The Senator is of the elites. The poster presents him as a latter day Tupac. I don't get it.
DeleteWho is the misogynist? An artist using his 1st Amendment right to free speech to create an unflattering portrait of Hillary or Hillary's husband taking advantage of an intern in the White House? (Not to mention Bill Clinton's long track record of abusing/assaulting women who were his subordinates). Sabo is using PAPER and WORDS to express his opinion -- seriously, it's just PAPER...everyone calm down. He's not groping a woman in a hotel room like the aforementioned president did.
ReplyDeleteWhy does art have to be monochromatic with everyone in lockstep supporting Obama and the Democrats anyway? Try being a little open-minded for a change. Or at least a little tolerant of minorities.
C'est Magnifique SABO!! All of the name calling in this exercise called blogging can't compare to the Revolutionary transformation of a minimized goad. The imagery is just beyond the simple tone this writer has chosen to speak. Depth and clarity of vision is a tangible these anti-capitalists will just relegate to hate. Because to them it is the hate of the moment, enraging, and spilling through their emotional stability. 'Thy cup runneth over' is too elegant a description, the emotional forces that consume these minds of limited prose. Ted Cruz has never looked better, and the fear that will well up in the detractors as they see their cultures shell begin to crumble. C'est tragique!!

ReplyDeleteTommy, Sabo is an artist (and a damned good one at that, but that's beside the point) protected by the First Amendment. You should be supporting his right to free expression, not attacking it.
ReplyDeletecongratulations to sabo!
ReplyDeletehappily donated to the cause. this poster, along with your other work, is effective, strong and truthful.
and from the review of your site, I think you will survive the slings and arrows of fat unattractive womyn's study majors at bryn mawr and brown.
Bueno suerte Senor.
Bryn Mawr and Brown?
DeleteCruz attended Princeton and Harvard. What distinction would you make?
Cruz is a charlatan and this artist person has been gulled.
how about wellesley? can think of one fat unattractive grad from class of 69 whose senior thesis was on alinsky. but we digress.
Deletecruz a charlatan? no. sabo gulled? no. but YOU know that.
speaking of charlatans and gullibles, your mom wants you "covered".
Sorry reddecaesari, but Tommy C will be deleting your post like he has with the rest of us. lol
Deletehis blog. his rules.
DeleteHere's another thing: Substitute "Hillary Clinton" with "Sarah Palin" or "Barack Obama" with "George Bush" in the same context you employ here and you progressives would be either stone silent or howling LOL like a pack of hyenas.

ReplyDeleteI'm not censoring you, asshole, you can say whatever the fuck you want on your blog. On my blog, you'll heel, or get the fuck out.
DeleteMy, my, but aren't we the epitome of tolerance...
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteHa! Just want the world needs, another heavy handed admin.
DeleteThat is a lot of carefully considered evidence for Sabo being a racist nutbag complete with references. From the comments it looks like these are the conservatives ignoring the facts and "continuing to worship him".
ReplyDeleteYou need only look to the Democratic party if you are on the hunt for racist nutters. They've been very supportive of racist laws going back to 1840, even creating their own military force, the Ku Klux Klan. I believe recently there was some concern from their members in Florida over immigration reform and the potential shortage of people to clean their hotel rooms and do their gardening. Yeah, I'll pass on the Democrats and their interpretation of freedom and equality.
DeleteUgh. This tired argument again? Every one of those old school "Dixiecrats" has either switched parties or died.
DeleteNothing tired about it, the blatant democrat racism has simply morphed into something else. Now it's simply referred to as "identity politics" and used to keep the various factions fighting among themselves, and thereby under control of the democrat party.
DeleteJust as America's brand of fascism (Progressivism) eventually morphed into something packaged to be a little more palatable... liberalism.
The left keeps hoping we'll forget... but history tells a story Comrade snake.
Any supporter of free speech supports the rights of BOTH the blogger and the artist in question to express themselves. Calling people "retards," referring to "monkeys" or the old "ugly women" garbage, etc., doesn't do anything to support the artist whose work this blogger is criticizing. It just makes you look mean-spirited and sort of ignorant, rather than intelligent. If you support free speech and free expression, you should support this blogger's right to both -- as well as being able to respectfully support the artist Sabo (which is what brought most of you to this site). And of course, if you are a reasonable human being you can express yourself without sounding like a hate-filled lunatic while doing so. (BTW, I agree with tedrock88's point -- comments that make the commenter sound racist, anti-woman, or just sort of nasty and irrational do not do themselves, or their causes, any favors.)

ReplyDeleteOh, and just as an aside. I don't much like Sabo's work, but his deleted comment to you made me laugh. Hat tip to him for that. Maybe you SHOULD collaborate on a project. :-)
ReplyDeleteGolly! If Mr. Sabo, were still "job-locked" (he's obviously not now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act) he wouldn't have time to do all of this stuff.
ReplyDeleteGuess all you can do now is label him as a Domestic Terrorist/Enemy of the State and turn him over to the NSA/IRS.
Awesome job! He should definately use this when he runs for election! If Obama lets prisoners vote this will definately win them over! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat poster, just donated. It's time to start discussing other views, it's obvious Los Angeles and to a larger extent California is broken. Big government & redistribution keeps the unusual suspects in power but doesn't solve any problems. Hope to see more of your work around town.
ReplyDeleteI'VE KNOWN SABO FOR A WHILE NOW. DOES HE GO OVER THE TOP IN THE WAY HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF. YES. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE BLACK PANTHERS SAYING THEY WANT TO KILL WHITE PEOPLE THERE IS NO OUTRAGE. AN ARTIST SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES ANYWAY THEY WANT. HIS ART ISN'T PROMOTING VIOLENCE, AND IN THE END, LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DIS ORDER.
ReplyDeleteThis liberal art installation didn't seem to get as much attention from the press. Funny how that's okay but lookout, someone put a poster of Ted Cruz up..

ReplyDeleteFunny, sounds like this Sabo is being avant guarde and insulting the people in power, just like some people did back in the 60's and 70's. I wonder what happened to those free-wheeling merry pranksters...
ReplyDeleteIt is funny, isn't it? They ARE "the Man" and they are "rebelling" against people who aren't in power, like starving artists and just regular schmos. GUTSY!!! lol
DeleteInteresting isn't it? The "free-thinking" left now becomes the heavy fist of censorship and intimidation. Free thought... as long as you "think" what we tell you to think.

ReplyDeleteRich muther fuckers who run dis whole game..
Never will you see, not even one keep his word,
They will only say..that you must have misheard..
Control the worlds economy with their "elite 1%"..
Not a dime of their cash, to make real jobs, have they spent..
For you are the sheeple, who's tax dollars they take
And give themselves raises and vacations for fuck sakes.
Get them out of office is what, I reply
And give back the power to the people or die..
The tyranny of history has began to run old...
Politicians have always been bought and then sold...

ReplyDeleteI would go cry to Wolf Blitzer but, like the rest of the "liberal media," he's too busy fluffing Republicans.
DeleteThe First Amendment doesn't cover just what YOU think it should, Mr. Christopher.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent article about Sabo and the growing popularity of his work:
