Obama 'Joker' Poster Causing a Stir in L.A.

I was not able to get a picture up....



LOS ANGELES -- A poster showing President Barack Obama as Heath Ledger's "Joker" character from "The Dark Knight" is creating a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where the image began appearing over the weekend.

The Obama-Joker poster shows President Obama with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick and also has the word "socialism" printed in bold, dark letters under the image of his face.

It's unclear who created the image and who is posting it across the city. No one has taken credit so far.

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."

Would Pelosi be Poison Ivy?

Edit: Arnold is definitely Mr. Freeze. All he needs is money to run his research - er, state! (And in the original comic books he was killed off by the joker.)

Some people dislike the First Amendment as much as they dislike the Second...

That's different, don't you know...

Why is it so important for the liberal henchmen to know who started this image posting? Why is it so dangerous?

Because they can't smear, trash and intimidate them, that's why...

Yeah, well, Michael Jackson said he was dangerous.

Best comment I saw on another board,

"Why so socialist?"

Because you can't tell who it is? I know that I can't.

Notice there was also no outrage about this picture from The Atlantic during the campaign:

Seriously? It's a caricature of GWB.
