The Identity of the "Obama as Joker" Image Creator Revealed
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 17, 2009 | BrianinMO

The identity of the creator of the "Obama as Joker" image has been uncovered, as the Los Angeles Times reports.

He is a Palestinian-American named Firas Alkhateeb, from Obama's hometown of Chicago, who prefers Dennis Kucinich for President! The Mainstream Media had stoked all kinds of speculation that the creator of the photo had some kind of racial motivation. It will be hard for them to make that case now.

The identity of the person or persons who placed several pictures of Alkhateeb's creation around Los Angeles is still unkown.

He’s just the photoshop artist. The person who put the word “socialism” on the poster and distributed it is unknown and at large.

He may be but it’s almost hysterical that the “racist” right wing nut job who did actually is a lefty minority from Chicago.

I have it on good authority that it was Jim Thompson.

LOL! And this guy thinks “Socialism is not necessarily evil.” while also believing Dennis Kucinich is the perfect candidate. Oh well, we’ll take our ammo where we can get it, let’s not be picky.

Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois and from Chicago, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe’s Photoshop software.

Alkhateeb tells the LA TImes:

“After Obama was elected, you had all of these people who basically saw him as the second coming of Christ,” Alkhateeb said. “From my perspective, there wasn’t much substance to him.”

“I abstained from voting in November,” he wrote in an e-mail. “Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state.” If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

I certainly wouldn’t argue with that, those folks at DU and Kos are stark raving mad. It’s a great poster. It makes me happy in a dark way that it was started by a liberal and will be one of many tools used to take him down.

A left-leaning Palestinian-American from Chicago was behind the photoshopping?

Oh. That’s”okay” then. The art is from a politically correct, approved, and protected source.

I think this revelation is freakin hilarious. Of course the libs are going to concentrate on the fact that this guy didn’t have anything to do with the Socialist/Socialism theme. However, that was not the complaint they were lodging when the poster popped up. The complaint was that it was RACIST and a MINSTREL face..and done by a racist republican blah blah blah. I don’t intend to let them forget it.

You all know that the MSM will not be reporting this tidbit. On the other hand if was a white male with an R after his name that had created this, the MSM would make it the headlines of every rag in the U.S..

Therefore, there is nothing to see here, move along people.

Hahahaha! I LOVE it! The libs and MSM were hoping to blame some “evil white ‘publican Redneck” for this “hateful” poster, and it turns out to be from a Palestinian Commie who loves Kucinich!!!

LOL!
