“First of all, who said being a socialist is evil?”

How about 20 million Ukrainians, 20 million Chinese, 2 million Cambodians, and thousands of Cubans at the bottom of the Florida Straits, screaming “I DO!!!” What a nitwit!

Oh my...don’t even give him any ideas. It will probably happen. Ugh....

This dude is in for the rudest awakening of his life; the media is going to be all over him. The slightest infraction he’s ever made will be plastered all over the news.

Ah, never mind. He only created the **Joker image**, NOT the poster with the “socialism” caption.

From the article, the Joker image on the Time magazine cover came first (in January). This Palestinian probably thought Obama was a lightweight, and INSUFFICIENTLY socialist.

Then somebody, currently unknown, took the Time mag Joker image, Photoshopped away the "Time" logo, and made it into the "Joker socialist" poster that got put up in LA.

This article, from the LAT, is 27 paragraphs long, but takes 22 paragraphs to mention the artist is an American born Palestinian, identifying him as only a ‘fellow Chicagoan’ in the headline. Imagine, if you will, how this article would have been written if he was a male white Christian or, horror of horrors, Jewish. If a survey was taken today, how many college students could accurately identify the ethnicity of Robert F. Kennedy’s killer?

How do we play the race card against a Palestinian?

I know. It's like when a black kills a lesbian. What's a liberal to do?

I've been thinking that Obama is more like Nicholson's Joker than Ledger's

From the 1989 movie:

EXT. JOKER ON HIS THRONE - THAT MOMENT

The Joker still graciously dispensing dollar bills.

JOKER: That's right, folks. Who do you trust? Hubba, Hubba, Hubba! Who do you trust? Me? I'm handing out free money. And where is the Batman[Palin]? He's[She's] at home washing his[her] tights!

Wow, just wow. There are sooo many things wrong with this ‘art’ that it boggles the mind.

Being Muslim’s going to be fun. They’re a protected class that Obama’s said he’s making friends with, plus he’s a Palestinian to boot, double victim in the liberal playbook. It would be easier to demonize a white guy.

I fail to see the significance of that.

They were hoping to find an angry white redneck Republican, white supremacist preferred. Instead they got a far-left liberal Muslim Palestinian Democrat. Oops.

They'll sweep this under the rug just as they have the public believing the whole "Birther" thing was started by conservatives (started by a Hillary operative).
