'Why So Serious?' CNN's Moos Focuses on Left-Wing Reaction to Obama/Joker Image
NewsBusters.org ^ | 08/04/2009 | Matthew Balan

Posted on 08/04/2009 5:31:33 PM PDT by Pyro7480

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.”

Moos has the most annoying voice I've ever heard from any woman.

And her segments are just.....stupid. I don't know how she keeps her job.

How soon they forget the nasty, disgusting thing's that were done with Pres Bush's pic, abusing the pics of our Brave Men and Woman killed in action to make his portrait, not to mention the things that were said about him, don't need to go into detail there we all know that story.

The little fascist hooker for obuma, Jeanne Moos, wants the image to go away. Boo-hoo!

Sorry, slut, what you and your left wing nazis did to Reagan and Bush is coming back at you 100 fold.

“...and so shall you reap.” Look it up.

That doesn’t count - Bush was an idiot, you know, and therefore, deserved to have a gun to his head. The Messiah on the other hand is wise - when the TP is working, generous - with other people’s money - and knows what is best for us peons, so of course portarying hm as a joker - seen on FR first - is a horrible crime and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law passed in the next round of Congressional laws.

CNN just wants the image to go away.

My fifty full color 11" wide adhesive-backed copies will be delivered by the printer shortly. They will make their appearance stealthily in ACORN-infested nooks and crannies out here. May tens of thousands more freedom-loving Americans join in spreading the simple message: Our country is being overrun by a hearty minority intent on destroying our freedoms and assuming power for themselves by way of overt socialism.

They did the same thing to President Bush during his time in office, and you didn’t hear a peep from the media.

Go to Google Images and type in “bush joker”, and you’ll get over 150,000 results.

What a bunch of whiners the Left is. They can sure dish it out, but they can’t take it!

We need to get these obamajoker bills designed, printed out with one side being the fake bill, the other side listing the wicked items highlighted in the bill by Heritage/Liberty Counsel, and print em up and pass em out.

When you run out, print more, and pass em out. Keep making them up and passing them out. People will want them. Many will read the back. Some of those people will get angry and scared and get engaged.
