Politicizing the NEA

Lots of people have mentioned the sleazy use of the NEA by Obama to use artists as a political arm of the White House. Here's a link from Nick Gillespie at Reason.

I have a dissenting view: Does anyone actually think that a bunch of leftist artists are actually going to do anything to change anyone's mind? The only people who pay attention to their art are fellow leftists, the rest of us wrote the whole lot of them off long ago.

Sure, it's awful that our tax money is going to promote Obama's propaganda, but I don't actually think this is an effective strategy for the White House.

By the way, as I'm fond of telling the kids: Propaganda comes in all shapes and sizes and is very hard to kill.
