Well, we all know that dressing up in blackface is now considered racist. So, how can it be racist to dress someone up in whiteface?

The archival power of the internet is not be trifled with. It took you precisely 13 minutes from the time this thread was posted, until the time that you posted that LA Weekly cover image.

The leftists' various depictions ridiculing Bush, as extreme and vicious as they were, weren't one tenth as effective as this one piece of art could be in tagging Obama. The anti-Bush art always rang false at a deep level because it did not really track with the person Bush was at his core. They came off over-the-top and strained, and people generally knew that.
But this "Joker" art rings true at a deep, visceral level. Obama is a secretive man of ambiguous origins who burst on the scene without resume, who now seeks to command our attention and control every aspect of our lives. People will sense a genuine, creepy, and eery connection between Heath Ledger's "Joker" and Obama.

Love the picture!!! He’s a POS and deserves ridicule. Even the comments see through the whining of the author. It’s funny!

Why? So the "Joker" image has Obama in white-face makeup. The Joker schtick wouldn't make sense of the artist had just put the eye makeup and lip crap on a "natural" image of Obama. And anyway, Obama is half-white.

In the interests of full disclosure,
Big Hollywood found the "fangs" pic.

The ‘ole race card has been/is being played so much that it’s become/is becoming meaningless, imo.
To: floor sweeper
Obama is in white face, his mouth (like Ledger's Joker's) has been grotesquely slit wide open and the word "Socialism" appears below his face. The only thing missing is a noose. Not missing; he's wearing a neck tie; you can see the top of the knot.

Scary! Yes, it is freaky. That's why it's so effective.
It's not nearly as scary as Obama's agenda.

The joker’s face is white. If the poster is racist, it’s aimed at Obama’s white half.

Now wait just a second, snake eater. Your post of an Asian man screaming “thats waisis” is blatantly racist against Asians!
Now, because of you, Asians will no longer be able to work hard, claim the highest per capita income, have the best grades, have the highest population in colleges, and the best research and scientific positioons. Because of the constant blatant racism against Asians, Asians will continue to be victims and require affirmative action to even come close to having an even playing field.
and Asians will require an Asian American president just so they can feel “hope” for the first time in their lives.
how dare you.
