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).

My friend said they were starting to make fun of Obama on SNL. To me that is a big sign because they are so leftist on that show, if Sat Night Live thinks he’s a communist, you know some people are finally getting their eyes opened to what all that really entails (C-O-N-T-R-O-L!!!!)

I didn't ask whether liberals like to make us look bad, or try to make us look bad, I'm asking
WHY making the President look like a comic book villain will make us look bad.
As for my opinion on possible backlash, see post 143, which I agree with completely.

With the regularity with which he takes over the networks to deliver his message, you would think that he has taken the Clown Prince of Crime as a role model.

I like the second t-shirt on that page:

Disturbing. I haven’t seen that one, but I’ve seen the huge billboard on the 5 that says “WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.”

In other words youre a leftist troll whos scared of the posters because you realize theyll be effective. Thats my working theory at the moment anyway, because its totally nutty to think theyre in any way racist.
The alternative is that youre a complete idiot.
So which is it?
Why does it have to be one or the other? I'd say it was BOTH.

Oh, it’s disturbing all right, but we live in uneasy times.
