Obama Joker Poster Popping Up In Los Angeles
Newsbusters ^ | August 1, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

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).

“Not too clever. Done by a leftist to make the right look bad.”

Could be. I think it is backfiring.

Only plusgood images like this one are safe to use. Anything else might backfire. Actually, anything that the democrat establishment dislikes will 'backfire' and 'make the right look bad.' I thought that senate Republicans were the only ones really worried about that.

If it’s my body and I get to do what I want with it, why should I let a bunch of old white guys tell me which doctor to see?

Wait till all those “liberated” women find out that they
don’t get to go to the abortionist of their choice any more.

I live way out here next to the Arctic Circle, so my ability
to undermine the establishment, so to speak, is limited...

...you may be near the A/C, but your in "the thick" of
the American Political Mainstream.

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their
elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake
to find they have Communism." - Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

Race Carders are the only ones putting these pathetic posters up. Patriots prefer waving the American Flag along with their long form birth certificate at town hall meetings. Not this random 'Oh Know They Didn't" avi. Serial, whoever thought this race card tactic would interest Constitutionalists, needs a time out.

The “Obey” thing was too “in” and didn’t resonate with most people. In contrast, 0’s socialist leaning is becoming common knowledge and the “Socialism” poster is reinforcement.
