LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Posters portraying U.S. President Barack Obama as The Joker from the Batman movie "The Dark Knight" have been spotted throughout Los Angeles.

The poster of Obama, wearing The Joker's trademark white face make-up and elongated lips, also carries the word "socialism" above and below his image, FoxNews.com reported Tuesday.

Wow, this poster is really getting spread around the net.

It’s called “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” now known as hate speech.What a joke!

And the media is already calling it racist.

There was no such outrage from the media (including Vanity Fair who did a similar hatchet job on President Bush in the Joker makeup).

UPI says:

The Joker's character in "The Dark Knight" was an anarchist, not a socialist.

Clearly the Left still tries to sell the lie that anarchists are for NO government and NO socialized medicine. Nothing is further from the truth.

Go to AKPRESS.ORG and read up on REAL anarchists.

Obama is a joke.

“There was no such outrage from the media...”
Nor when the Cross with Christ was submerged in a jar of urine and called art.

I believe portraying Soetoro as Benito Mussolini would be more to the point.

“And the media is already calling it racist.”

I imagine few of the race baiting media talking heads are old enough to remember what true racism really is. This administration and their media machine needs to grow up.

Only if you could tag someone else as Hitler.

ABCnews.com managed to cover this story without showing the image. Such loyalty!

Obama as Joker: Selective Outrage From ‘LA Weekly’ (breitbart.com 8-4-09)

See the cartoon that LA Weekly ran of Condi Rice during the Bush term.

Why isn’t there a half smoked cigarette dangling from the purple lips of this big eared dumbo?

Obama's personal propagandist (Shepard Fairey) did just that.

So, Heath Ledger is dead. So. it wasn’t him.

If this were shown on Fox tonight, that would ba a lot more important than what they are otherwise covering today.
