The Obama-as-Joker poster is a great example of using the left’s tactics against them. Remember what Alinsky taught us: always use the values of the opposition against them. The left loves to use guerilla theater and outrageous art to mock their enemies. (By the way, that’s another Alinsky tactic: ridicule is impossible to defend against.)
The fact is the poster is suberb at telling the message of Obama and who he is. The joke’s always on you. The mask hides someone who is willing to do anything to anyone to get his way. Sometimes change isn’t so positive.
So....
I recommend that we put this poster everywhere. Let it be shown on every wall and every street corner. Do it in the middle of the night, and when some lib tears it down, put it back up. And remind anyone who says anything against it that they are not TOLERANT of DIVERSITY and FREE SPEECH.
This is a great first step towards exposing the socialists for who they are.
Much to their horror, Alinsky’s acolytes are finding that his tactics can be used just as effectively by their opponents.
ping!

You said they believe everyone is on their side. I think you are right. Watched the Woodstock show last night and it occurred to me that those people probably think that EVERYBODY thinks like they do because of early experiences like that. In reality, the majority of young people were nowhere near like that scene. They might have worn some of the “fashions” but they were not at all of that tribal mentality. So they still think that THEY are the big group, which is why they are so surprised that there are so many of everybody else.
Outrage, ah yes! But MANUFACTURED outrage, I’d bet...
my problem with those posters is that “socialism” isn’t a strong enough word.
This has made it to the news here in South Australia. They also showed the pics of Hillary and Bush - I think someone may be a closet Freeper. Only comment from the talking heads was the the picture was somewhat disturbing.
So the poster maker has really done a good job - congrats to him/her.

Possibly because it's a bit too close to the mark(?)
How about one that says, “The Joke’s On You”
“The jokes always on you. The mask hides someone who is willing to do anything to anyone to get his way. Sometimes change isnt so positive.”
It’s better than that. As Rush pointed out, the Joker is someone who tried to destroy massive wealth to destabilize and destroy the system. THAT is a brilliant stroke against 0bama, and the main reason it struck a nerve.
The other parallels: the Joker never tells the truth, he hides behind a mask, and he is clearly narcissistic.
Joker 4, 0bama 0 (who would have guessed)
“...Republicans are fed up with the Democrat, Socialist Joker of a community organizer in the White House pretending to be a President.”
.
But none of the republican politicians have ever questioned the validity of Obama’s presidency — it is the man in the street who shows backbone by demanding an answer.

Definitely high art.
