I think the mural is called free speech.

They need to be asked why a “non-partisan” organization such as the NAACP would protest what is clearly political speech.

Man, this must really hit very close to the truth,

or you wouldn’t hear the howls of protest from the usual suspects.

Let’s see -
the socialism part, check.
loose cannon, check.
sinister, check.
not what he appears to be, check.
just wants to watch the world burn, check.

more?

No worse than the depiction of G.W. Bush as a chimp and more accurate.

You mean like at the G20?

Oh, no, Nancy would NEVER condemn, or even NOTICE, leftist violence...

BECAUSE IT SERVES HER PURPOSES.

Notice that leftists NEVER condemn or even notice immoral or illegal behavior [cough ACORN cough] when it advances their goals.

I think Obama as the Joker reminds the easily offended of old-time minstrel makeup; ergo, it's racist.

You haven’t seen “outrage” yet. Just wait until the Medicare folks have their benefits slashed and find out that they now are waiting in line with 40,000,000+ newly “insured” for half the available doctors, the other half having retired because they don’t want to practice under BO’s socialism.
Now THAT will be outrage!

Telling the truth about a leftist, leftist policies or leftist demographic groups is (by my observation) inherently racist.

Obama Joker

Come on! He was honored this past week with his very own card in the deck of UN Playing Cards. This has nothing to do with racism but honoring an icon of our time.

Is it racist to portray a black person as an evil white man?
