A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters.
The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.
The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in U.S. media.
The right-wing editor of the American Thinker website, Thomas Lifson, wrote today: 'It is starting.
'Open mockery of of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly middle-of-the-roader.'
But the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'
A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.'
The image comes as the President faces criticism over his plans to create a $1trillion healthcare programme.
Republican chairman Michael Steele first used the word 'socialism' in relation to Mr Obama two weeks ago as he slammed the President's attempts to push Congress into passing the healthcare reforms.

Wow. I posted a fake birth certificate with a sock monkey pic and it got yanked...
mean-spirited? It is either true or not. To be mean II think there has to be some truth to it. If you call a lean and trim person a fat slob, that wouldn’t be mean just stupid. Calling an overweight person a fat slob would be mean. Likewise a horror image of Obama with socialism has more than a little truth to it and some could choose to see it as mean. As in it is mean to tell the truth when I don’t like that truth.
I guess ‘Obama Supporters’ forgot about the hundreds of thousands of posters used by Democrats to mock Bush (Chimpy McBush, Bush is Hitler) or thousands of Dailykos/DU types sites doing much worse.

3) Ad Comparing Bush to Hitler Gets Heat
What MoveOn.org wanted was for people to submit 30-second ads that were critical of President Bush, but what the liberal-leaning organization got was a controversy over one entry that compared Bush to Adolf Hitler.

But hypocrisy is fine in their eyes.
Aaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh STOP !

To be fair, maybe the Los Angeles urban policy unit removes posters from underpasses.
One day maybe they’ll get their own police procedural on TV. “LA UPU”!
I’ll give it a year before FR is yanked and other sites like this..We are dangerous alright !

Nice find! I didn’t remember seeing that before.
Yeah im surprised that has not been yanked
yeah they may be pussies, but they have a charismatic leader that they have blind faith in.... even the Nazi and stalinist won by mass of numbers...and not internal courage or strength. thats what scares me...
Lordy! Thanks for the link.
I’m happy that these posters started in the same town where many people thought it was a joke that SP was hanged in effigy.
What about the novel, movie, and (I think) also a play about the ASSASSINATION of GWB? What did these same people say then?
Gee and all the posters of George Bush as a chimp were OK. Hypocrites.
