Obama Joker Poster

(Obama Joker/Socialism poster causes a stir)


An insult to Heath Ledger, that is all I really see wrong with this poster. Do I understand why he is being depicted as "The Joker"? No, but people do strange things and this is simply another right afforded under free speech.

According to KTLA, this poster is causing a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where this poster has popped up over the weekend, but no one seems to be claiming credit for creating the poster.

Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.

Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves.

"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."

"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."


Oh really?

Well, Michelle Malkin has a better memory than those being quoted as she reminds people, with visual aids, of some of the violent hatred showed towards Bush, via so-called "art" and "assassination fascination", go look those over and then try to say this is any worse than that sickness was.

Obama-bots are in a tizzy over a silly poster of Dear Leader as The Joker.

The BDS-infected Left may have wiped the violent imagery and assassination fascination targeting the president from their memories.

I haven’t:



So many people went to visit the website that originally published the poster online, that the site actually crashed.

Big Hollywood, like Malkin, has a good memory, as they show yet another example of the hypocrisy being shown by LA Weekly as they claim all that is missing is a "noose".

And yet, this is the same LA Weekly responsible for this cover during the previous administration:


Only thing really missing is intellectual consistency.

Seem people can dish it out, but the second it gets dished back they start crying and tossing up the race card.

Too bad.

I still say this is an insult to Ledger.
