Max Etenrity - Considering some of the debates that have taken place in recent days on this site in regards to Progressives locally, nationally and internationally, who have pointed out President Obama's shortcomings, I provide a copy of the following comment that I posted in response to some wild-eyed right-wing website that has posted one of my articles to propogate their message of hate. This misfortune can happen to anyone, so one who believes in honest reporting must be ever vigilant to set the record(s) straight. In response to said website's misappropriation of my words [1] I write:
To the Public-at-large and the Administrator of this site:
I am Max Eternity and I do not endorse the views of the website.
I am a life-long Progressive, who supports the Presidency of Barack Obama. I voted for Obama, and would make that same decision again in a repeat situation.
I do not [always] agree with President Obama. Nevertheless, my object criticism of President Obama, is in no way to be misinterpreted as an endorsement to the Republican Party, Tea-Baggers or the Christian-Right, as I abhor all three said organizations...this being triple-true for FOX News and anything to do with Rupert Murdoch.
I did not support Reagan or either Bush, and I'm proud to say so.
Furthermore, I find the caricature of the American President--any American President--as illustrated above, in very poor taste. And I would like to make it abundantly clear that though I am an artist, this is not my artwork.
In short, my objective analysis of a President whom I support and believe in, has been hijacked by this website for reasons that I absolutely, positively do not approve of, endorse, or wish to be affiliated with.
That said, I now request to the webmaster of this site, that my article be removed or at the very least permanently attached with this comment representing a disclaimer.
