Obama Joker Poster - August 3rd, 2009, 09:13 PM

I say pretty good Photoshop work!! From the article...
Have you seen this poster?

Apparently, it's beginning to appear in odd places in Los Angeles, but nobody seems to know who's responsible for it.

Radio host Tammy Bruce posted some pictures of this odd creation at her blog Saturday morning (h/t Pamela Geller) leading me to investigate further.

At this point, all I could find on the subject was an April 25 article from Bedlam Magazine:

A poster of Barack Obama in Heath Ledger-style Joker make-up with the legend 'Socialism' beneath it has been popping up recently on surfaces around L.A. It does not appear to be in the same category as the many benign take-offs on the Shepard Fairey 'Hope' poster, such as the one by Australian James Lillis (more of a straightforward spoof that merely substituted a Shepardized image of Heath Ledger as Joker on the Obama poster).

I wish I could find the one that had Obama looking like a zombie with the word "BRAINS" down below.

Obamaites don't take kindly to this kind of thing (free speech.) When the maker of the poster is found, I'll bet they can expect at least an IRS audit...if not a visit from the Secret Service.

Oh yes, those censorious Obamaites. They're coming for you next.

"Myths are not lies," Tolkien countered, among the swaying trees of Magdalen Grove. Materialistic progress leads only to the abyss, Tolkien said, but the myths we tell reflect a fragment of the true light. He argued the Christ story functions as a myth, just like the Scandinavian myths they had loved, with one difference: The Christian myth was true.

This is not acceptable. This is in bad taste.

The Joker is a very well respected character in the Batman universe!





Sorry. I had to make that joke. In all seriousness, though? I don't like the fact that Obama is pro-gay and pro-abortion. I don't like the fact that he wants to keep abortions legal, much less that he's using our tax dollars to finance abortions, and even MUCH less that he's using our tax dollars to finance foreign abortions. That ticks me off. A lot.

As far as his economic policies go (which is, I am sure, what annoys most of you...not the abortion thing)...the economy is a tricky thing. I doubt any of us would do any better. I think, at the end of the day, he genuinely wants what's best for us, and he's probably really, really trying. That counts for something, doesn't it?

The Joker is not a socialist, so why the connection?

To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic.

By the way, did anyone when they saw the poster for the first time think of anything racial? Because I sure didn't. I guess I'm not in the loop enough.





Theocrats are Social Darwinists.



Christianity has nothing applicable, appropriate, or worthwhile to offer the 21st century.
