You got off lightly - for now. Wait until the National Reconciliation Tribunal subpoenas you. I expect the trials to begin around March '09. You won't get any advance warning from Fox because they'll have been shut down the day after Inauguration, as will talk radio and the Internet.
Only for the duration of the emergency, of course.
Imagine the logo is a pie, cut out a larger piece for the "disadvantaged" blogger in you, and leave the rest for Obama 2008. That's change we can believe in.
It ought to teach him right for ending a sentence with a preposition.
Your decision to engage in fascism by erasing legitimate political speech (i.e., parody) sends a chill down the spine of this nation. As a business, you can do whatever you want, but the Obama merchandise submitted by blogger Tam was clearly parody, well within the bounds of Fair Use, and your ridiculous insinuations to the contrary are absurdly transparent. It's all about free speech until a Democrat gets his feelings hurt, isn't it?

Fair use for parody is allowed, even for profit.
You're mistaken, and you're acting like fascists.

Yeah, but only if you support Ba®a©k Obama.

Yeah, but he wants to steal from us, so our swiping his logo is just professional courtesy.

At least he is not trying to distribute copies of his book, "The Mendacity of Hope", at public expense -- yet.
