Creator of ‘Socialist Joker’ Obama poster unmasked

By Matthew Shaer | 08.18.09

Earlier this month, we covered the story of the “Socialist Joker” Obama poster, which was spotted around Los Angeles and as far afield as Chicago. By early August, the image had gone viral, enraging progressives and earning plaudits from conservatives. Now, thanks to some gumshoeing by the folks over at the Los Angeles Times, the creator of the portrait has been unmasked.

And guess what? He supported the liberal candidate:

Dennis Kucinich.

“I abstained from voting in November,” 20-year-old college student Firas Alkhateeb told the Los Angeles Times.

“This is the typical hate-centered projection that the hysterical right is manufacturing. They are out of real ideas and all they have left is scorched earth. This represents their typical projection and emotes who they really are: jokers with the burned out eyes.”

Ha-ha.

The joke is truly on the LA Times!

How about the LA Times find Obama’s birth certificate?

Now, thanks to some gumshoeing by the folks over at the Los Angeles Times

Gumshoeing: Tracking down a person who posts political posters while ignoring if the President of the United States has a valid long form Birth Certificate.

“This is the typical hate-centered projection that the hysterical right is manufacturing...”

Bu$hitler, anyone? Chimpy McHitler? Vampire Bush?

That quote sounds like the yellow dog running lackey of the imperialist warmonger rants from 1959 or so.

Alkateeb is not teh guy who put “socialism” on the poster, though.

Can he be prosecuted???? For all the trouble he’s caused? I think, don’t you think... I mean, like don’t you think he can be prosecuted? I think he should be, I mean, like, prosecuted because, I mean, he’s like, all the trouble he’s caused, you know?

awwwwwwwwww and here i was so sure it was “Bush’s fault”

[annalex]

I am disappointed the inventor is not a Freeper, although someone who put the final version together might be.

At the same time, might Mr. Firas Alkhateeb find the atmosphere here congenial? At 20, the road to conversion is all ahead of you, young man.

They shall eat their own.

The WH (and all its resources) were able to find this guy out of a population of 300,000,000+ BUT does not know who sent out emails from the WH. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THIS WHITE HOUSE?
