This is the poster in question. Why not give your opinion directly to its creator since he is a FReeper?

"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health -care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a security officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.
The officer's response?
"It ain't no more, OK?"
Get the prescription for reclaiming America's heritage of liberty – before the what the officer said is true – Joseph Farah's "Taking America Back," autographed only at the WND SuperStore.
A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.
Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.
"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.
"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing."
Video of the exchange can be seen below:

He did just that - asked him where in the constitution it said that the officer could make law and suppress his free speech...
watch the video - it’s maddening!
Please tell me you’re being sarcastic. Lex rex, not Rex lex.
I have the Obama as the Joker with Socialist printed on a bumper sticker. I have had people take pictures of it with their cells phone as I drive down the road, honk and give me the thumbs up.
There is nothing wrong with the photo
I downloaded a hi-rez copy when this first broke, but I could not find the original link. Sorry.
Will be glad to e-mail image if you like. (2400x3500 pixel .jpg)
Freepmail me and I will give you my e-mail address.

Thank you I like that simplicity.
I’m sure any group of teens would be interested to spend an afternoon placing these on windshields at any mall, or placing bumper stickers around for a few dollars.
If I had the resources I would get a mass amount of rather large ones or a lightweight silk screen stencil made of many sizes and I would visit a railroad freight yard and silk screen spray paint this on as many freight cars as I could without getting caught.
Or on cross country trucking trailers.
The idea is to have these in places that offer maximum viewing before they are removed and ideally in a manner that makes removal difficult would be ideal.
Its hurting his image, and that a positive effect in my game book.
Is not in our interest. Defeating the intentions of the ME Islamists is. You don't agree?
The purely subjective view of the “racial” intent is overthrown by the right to criticize the president.
Yes that’s the law until later determined botherwise.
Proffessor Gates learned this the hardway.
Great idea but print the face in other colors than white. That way you beat the race baiters. The issue isn’t about race. It is about a stinking lying fraud of a socialist who is out to destroy our country and turn us into serfs.
good for you! ... I’m curious — has your car been vandalized by Libs yet?

Hope you drive an old car. IMO it's wrong because it skirts being outright bigoted. And that's how the cop saw it.
1) There’s nothing “racist” about the poster.
2) The cop should be sued, prosecuted and suffer personal civil and criminal punishment for violation of civil rights under color of law.
Also, the gentleman who had the poster and was told he could not display it (in the video) is a Freeper (*.*)
There is nothing racist about the picture,
unless you see EVERYTHING through the lens of race.
The cop acted as he did because the image is especially effective in criticizing a political figure that the cop supports.
