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.

Remember, to a leftist,
the truth is “hate speech”.
Their entire ideology is based on lies,
from the father of lies.
Yeah, showing a kids' toy sock monkey is racist I am now told. Target still has some on their shelf though, so the liberal left better go demand that Target stop selling these dangerous toys.
I don’t know why, but that picture makes hom look more like a muzzleman than a chimp.
Dear Mr President,
Your Islamic/Indonesian/MArxist visions and form of government is dangerous and mean spirited to the traditions of America. You make mockery of the oldest most successful nation on the planet. The nation will not stand for it. Respectfully, Sir,you are a foreigner, take a hike.
No argument there..... Bush bash was propaganda now they are scared because the populus sees the truth ..
Of course it’s mean-spirited. What goes around comes around.
The artist of the Obama one better stay in hiding. If he is ever discovered the IRS, Secret Service, FBI, DEA and every other federal law enforcement agency will be riding him like a 25 cent donkey ride.
They’re trying to tag any and all opposition as “terroristic and dangerous”.
The reason for this is that they, like all historical collectivists, seek to use the power of the state to punish and exterminate ideological opponents.
Eeeeexxcellllent find.
I call them progressive communists, since that is the word they like so well. Also, neo-communists, post-soviet communists, whatever else you want to call them. Neo-coms is pretty good. But they are definitely communists. Red diaper doper baby communists, and they want you DEAD, they want your PARENTS dead, they want your GRANDPARENTS dead, they want your CHILDREN dead. They want death, for you and yours, not for them and theirs.
The worm isn’t just turning...its having a Grand Mal seizure.
Too many are questioning too much of The One’s history; policies, etc.
vaudine
Yep , ACORN will be at the door someday , don’t doubt it.
The MSM doesn’t care about hate directed AT Republicans ... wonder why?
No, I believe that what they really meant, was doing this thing with pictures of bambi like this will be dangerous to the people doing them.
Perhaps it was a veiled threat to those who are participating in this campaign.
But the usual MO of a leftist is to get the State to do their dirty work for them.
