REALLY, I DON'T SEE THE HUMOR

CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos devoted an entire segment to the viral Obama as the Joker image on Tuesday’s Situation Room, and zeroed in on man-on-the-street reactions to it, all of whom expressed leftist horror at the picture. Moos herself suggested that “maybe it’s time to give the Joker joke a rest.” NewsBusters.org made a brief appearance during her segment [audio from the entire segment is available here].
The correspondent, who is known for her light and sometimes humorous reports for CNN, chronicled how the Photoshop-style image of the president as Batman’s nemesis is spreading like wildfire on conservative websites, including the Drudge Report and NewsBusters. Throughout the report, she played clips of five men and six women whom the correspondent approached on a New York City street for their reaction to the Joker image. Unsurprisingly, all of the New Yorkers reacted negatively, from an “Oh my goodness” to “shame on them.” The last man stated that he was reminded of racist black-face comedy from the past, and the last woman even shouted, “It’s a right-wing spin- it’s disgraceful, and you shouldn’t even bring any attention to it.”
The only conservative reaction to the Joker image that Moos featured was a clip from Rush Limbaugh, who remarked that “it’s becoming cool to make fun of Obama.”

I think we should organize a movement to duplicate/print it by the million and plaster them nationwide.
Slightly off-topic, but did that Heath Ledger (?) as Joker Batman movie come out yet?
Barack Obama looked you in the eye and told you your kid doesn’t need a tonsilectomy when the child is sick and your doctor tells you it is needed.
How much respect should be afforded to Barack Obama??
These are the same folks who probably laughed it up with their friends by sending out viral George Bush and chimpanzee comparisons via. internet. I would get those as a forward all the time from my lefty friends.
Sounds series
Lol! Whine and Cheese!
LOL! It’s out on DVD now.
Let me make a suggestion:
WE NEED A ZERO DOLLAR BILL WITH THE JOKER OBAMA ON IT.
Include references to ted kennedy, the blue pill can be in one corner, the O-hole seal can be in one to be the zero, we can put the “Why So Socialist?” in the banner, put a communist sickle where the treasury stamp would be, etc.
We make the Zero Dollar bill template in hi-res, doing it the same way the George Bush bill was done. On the back, put the list of all the evil stuff Heritage and Liberty Counsel has found in the bill.
Print them up like water, and pass them out whenever you’re buying stuff in cash (or even if you are paying another way). Leave them in your tips (or as your tip). People will want these things. Some of them will read the backs of them and it will scare the crap out of those who realize how bad this thing is.
If anyone makes one up, send it to me, send me a message to let me know where I can get a hi-res copy.
“UNIDENTIFIED MALE 6: I think I do have a problem with the white face. It makes me think of black face”
Just makes me think of a horse’s a*s
Pelosi is definitely more of a Two-Face.
The Day Old Press hates the New Media.
Pray for America

“Moos herself suggested that “maybe it’s time to give the Joker joke a rest.”

Lefties and the media hate it ? Good. It’s working.
