Obama as The Joker: Racial Fear's Ugly Face

Washington Post ^ | 8-6-09 | Philip Kennicott

[Severino]

ON first watching Hillary Clinton’s recent “It’s 3 a.m.” advertisement, I was left with an uneasy feeling that something was not quite right — something that went beyond my disappointment that she had decided to go negative. Repeated watching of the ad on YouTube increased my unease. I realized that I had only too often in my study of America’s racial history seen images much like these, and the sentiments to which they allude.

[Severino]

There is nothing that will not be spun into being racist, when it comes to opposition to President Obama. I remember a sociologist, named Orlando Patterson, arguing that the "3 am" video made by the Hillary campaign was racist. Now this: This Washington Post writer finds racism where there is none. The joker poster makes the claim that Obama is a Socialist. Where's the racism there? Of course, the trick is to claim that it's all "subliminal." Subliminal is the word that gives you the excuse to make stuff up, becuase after all, it's "subliminal," so we can't really see it very well unless a reporter in a big newspaper cracks the code.

I did not that Joker was a racist thing

Good, let them keep using over and over until there is such an immunity to it that it’s not effective anymore.

The Left sees everything in racial terms. They talk about a post-racial society, but for them everything is race, race, race. It's ridiculous.

Play the Race Card -- lose the game.

I’ll bet when and if they find out who created this picture it will be a left-winger.

Hey Phil...take a pill.

[KJC1]

I actually think they KNOW damn well the Joker image isn’t racist. They are trying desperately to pretend they think it is in order to shut it down and make people “afraid” to use the image lest they be pegged as racists.

They know the image is having an impact, and the only way out is to scream, “Racism!”

The dude is much more white than black..in fact..he has so little black in him that I believe he can’t officially call himself black.

[Salamander]

When they did this to Michael Steele [and threw Oreos at him] was that "racist"?

[Salamander]

My bet, too....instigating.

[Lizavetta]

Well said.

[downtownconservative]

It’s now true that if just white people are polled, far less than 50% approve of the O’zer. I can’t recall the exact numbers. His numbers are where they are now only because black folks still support him with near unanimity. Is that racist? If so, then who is really showing racist tendancies? That’s a very arguable question, but I think I know the answer!

Current Slime magazine cover has obama as a Dr.

Looks like some photoshopping opportunities there.

I’ll bet when and if they find out who created this picture it will be a left-winger.

We’ve trained the left to scream “RACIST” whenever they
feel that they are being effectively criticized.

We’ve rolled up in a fetal ball and let them have their way.

Time for that to stop.

.
No, it’s the other way around. Read American history starting with 1965. The race card has been played by the dems many times and who is the winner today? Why do we have what we have in the WH?
