McNaughton, who is described by Salon as “the right’s Shepard Fairey”and who also creates Thomas Kinkade-esque landscapes and holiday paintings, has gained notoriety for some of his previous anti-Obama paintings: He has depicted the president trampling the Constitution andenslaving Americans in chains. In response to an article on the Blazeasking whether his work was free speech or offensive, McNaughton replied on his Facebook page, “I for one am deeply offended. I can’t believe I had to paint this in our own country. Stand up and be heard America!!”
