I've seen some crazy accusations thrown at Obama, some on this site, but this one is awesomely bad.

Neocon Frank Gaffney stated that the new Missile defense Agency (MDA) logo is proof that Obama is a Muslim and sympathetic to the Islamic law, Sharia.

Wow.

Now, the MDA noted on Fox News and the Washington Post that the new logo predates the election and was a multiyear process.
The logo:

The gems from Gaffney:

Team Obama’s anti-anti-missile initiatives … seem to fit an increasingly obvious and worrying pattern of official U.S. submission to Islam and the theo-political-legal program the latter’s authorities call Shariah.

What could be code-breaking evidence of the latter explanation is to be found in the newly-disclosed redesign of the Missile Defense Agency logo (above). As Christopher Logan helpfully shows, the new MDA shield appears ominously to reflect a morphing of the Islamic crescent and star with the Obama campaign logo.

[snip]

Even as the administration has lately made a show of rushing less capable sea- and land-based short-range (theater) missile defenses into the Persian Gulf in the face of rising panic there about Iran’s actual/incipient ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities, Team Obama is behaving in a way that — as the new MDA logo suggests — is all about accommodating that “Islamic Republic” and its ever-more aggressive stance.

Watch this space as we identify and consider various, ominous and far more clear-cut acts of submission to Shariah by President Obama and his team.

And statement by MDA officials:

It did not replace our official MDA logo, and of course it has no ties to any political campaign. It was done one year before the 2008 elections. So the whole thing is pretty ridiculous." Lehner said the insignia was chosen because it was "cheaper, because it's three colors as opposed to the five colors on the official logo."

Wow. Wrong and taking Obama bashing to a new level. Gotta love neocons.

It has also been criticized because it is similar to Obama's Hope symbol.

Who would really notice this anyways if it hadn't made the news?

I personally think it looks like the new Pepsi logo.

But, the MDA has an amazing website, and this awesome, time consuming game:

I take it it's entirely coincidence that the logo for the missile defense is so closely related to Obama's logo? :dodgy:

Besides the colors, I don't see it.

The right wing is a parody of its former self.

Well, considering it was done like in 2007, i would say yes, it is just a coincedence.

Not to mention, the design itself is about one would expect from a missile defense/space agency sort of group.

Well, are they bombing the moon again, because that's what it really looks like?

Could be!

The man on the moon is a terrorist threat and must be destroyed!
