Bill Lockyer: U.S. in Toilet Art Goes National

The outrageous public display of Steven Pearcy’s painting of the United States sinking into a toilet is getting some national attention according to Eric Hogue, Sacramento radio talk show host and blogger.

The Associated Press, and today in the Sacramento Bee (online edition only), the news of “Lockyer’s Art Display” begins to grab some attention.

The Pearcy piece was singled out by KTKZ talk radio host Eric Hogue and conservative bloggers this week. By Wednesday afternoon, the Conservative Schooler blog had collected 272 signatures on a petition requesting the painting’s removal.

“The attorney general would never allow artwork that is offensive to the gay or lesbian community, or art that showed violence toward women to be hung in the Department of Justice,” Hanretty said. “He likes the controversy.”

Hanretty said she had not seen the exhibit, and only learned of the painting from listening to Hogue’s show.

Why has the Sacramento Bee buried this story from its actual print edition?

Flap previously reported this depiction of anti-American military art here and here.
