O's campaign encouraged vandalism

  Buried in today's NY Post article "Obama loses his cool" is this interesting little piece of information.
  In the early days of O's previous campaign, one of the things his campaign encouraged was graffiti in targeted neighborhoods. Now, one would think that the people who seem so eager to preserve the environment weren't so much when it came to making it look like "the people" were rising up endorse the Obama:

Even the so-called “grassroots” movement was carefully cultivated, with the campaign recruiting graffiti artists to tag electorally important neighborhoods with demographically targeted street art. As far back as July 2007, James Powderly, a specialist in laser graffiti, was approached; they wanted him to tag the Hollywood sign with “OBAMA.” He declined.
“I didn’t see them as anything more than just a corporation,” he told The Post in 2008. “It’s an ad. We said, ‘No thanks.’ But they were right to look in our direction.”
  What is "tagging"? 
  It's spray painting words or names on buildings. 
  The Hollywood sign? And no one in the campaign had a problem with this?
  The whole carefully constructed Obama persona was a fraud; only just now are some of the phonies actually admitting the fraud perpetrated on their too gullible followers. 
  Though this article is about the "Obama brand" it reveals much more about the campaign itself.
