When cryptic posters portraying President Obama as the Joker from "Batman" began popping up around Los Angeles and other cities, the question many asked was, Who is behind the image?
Was it an ultra-conservative grassroots group or a disgruntled street artist going against the grain?
Nope, it turns out, just a 20-year-old college student from Chicago.

The fact that this is even a story, much less an issue, shows a striking similarity between intolerance on the authoritarian left, and Muhammedan rage over a Danish cartoon.

Well so much for the idea that the poster reflected the racial insecurities of white conservatives.

I love this quote from the artist: “I abstained from voting in November,” he wrote in an e-mail. “Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state.” If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.”
Read it and weep, DU. LOL.

The media had pretty much cast its vote for the former.

"To accuse him of being a socialist is really ... immature. First of all, who said being a socialist is evil?" I would say that all of the Jews who survived Nazi Germany might think Socialism tends to be somewhat evil...
This isn't the first time I have heard a young person say that socialism is not evil or bad in any way...
Read some history dude....
To: tonyome
It was a Lib??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh to laugh in the faces of all the rotting meathead paranoid lib liars that pushed that lie based on...NOTHING!

Regardless, Alkhateeb does agree with the Obama "Hope" artist about "socialism" being the wrong caption for the Joker image. "It really doesn't make any sense to me at all," he said. "To accuse him of being a socialist is really ... immature. First of all, who said being a socialist is evil?" Well, DUH . . . if labeling someone is NOT a perjorative why are the leftists upset about it? (BTW--I'll say that socialism is evil. You can quote me.)

If it's any consolation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that defends digital rights, says Alkhateeb has a strong fair-use defense if Time or DC Comics decides to take him to court -- that is if one even does file a lawsuit.
"You really want to think twice about going after a political commenter," said Corynne McSherry, a senior staff attorney at the EFF. In Time's case, "a news organization probably doesn't want to be in the situation of pursuing political criticism."OMG, what planet doe SHE live on?
