Obama Joker Poster Popping Up In Los Angeles
Newsbusters ^ | August 1, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

Have you seen this poster?

Apparently, it's beginning to appear in odd places in Los Angeles, but nobody seems to know who's responsible for it.

Radio host Tammy Bruce posted some pictures of this odd creation at her blog Saturday morning (h/t Pamela Geller) leading me to investigate further.

At this point, all I could find on the subject was an April 25 article from Bedlam Magazine:

A poster of Barack Obama in Heath Ledger-style Joker make-up with the legend 'Socialism' beneath it has been popping up recently on surfaces around L.A. It does not appear to be in the same category as the many benign take-offs on the Shepard Fairey 'Hope' poster, such as the one by Australian James Lillis (more of a straightforward spoof that merely substituted a Shepardized image of Heath Ledger as Joker on the Obama poster).

Only a complete raving idiot would see this and immediately think “racism.”

Good job.

The Race Card is alive and well on the Left. The Left’s need to play the Race Card needs to be exposed early and often. What the Left doesn’t understand is that color blind Constitutionalists aren’t Racist. Could give a flip what color skin someone has. But if you is a Socialist Commie out to destroy our country, we’re gonna expose it.

Shopping Obama’s picture with a random outdated film icon, which could be used by race carders as proof of racism is lame. Most people won’t even get the 2008 trendy avi aspect of transposing Ledger’s Joker on photos, which exposes the joker/obama poster as race card bait. Race Card King Obama should continually be exposed for playing the race card and hating our country.

In other words you’re a leftist troll who’s scared of the posters because you realize they’ll be effective.

That’s my working theory at the moment anyway, because it’s totally nutty to think they’re in any way racist.

The alternative is that you’re a complete idiot.

So which is it?

re: That OBEY poster would have been great if they didn’t chop off his BIG EARS.)))

It's funny that O's ears register to most eyes as big, when the fact is they attact attn because they are ridiculously small. It's just they are positioned to stick straight out from his head, something that would have been easy to correct with plastic surgery.

Does anyone know the exact (or close) location of this freeway entrance poster? I see graffiti around it, so it’s not in one of the best neighborhoods. Just wondering which neighborhood it IS in. Thanks.

OMG.... This is perfect. Perfect.

It's devastating, isn't it? An arty, low keyed slam in the face. Obama as the Joker motiff spreads and many of his supporters will be uncomfortable expressing support for him.

Ha! Got one.

He was a member of the latest troll wave from that lefty website that’s having the contest. He thought he was being doubleplus clever to quote from his own website. But in fact he was just a garden variety dumbass.

Dear lefty trolls, you’re going to have to try harder!

Nice trigger work, Mr. Mod.

Socialism is right ... but the real problem is he is about to show this country the “Pencil Trick”.

The face depicts a criminal in a made up movie.

Nobody, including the Secret Service, did a thing when a movie was made about assassinating President Bush, a sitting President at the time.

A funny poster about a Kenyan Poseur isn't an issue to me, and I couldn't care any less if it's an issue for a any of the Libtards out there. Win, lose or draw, all they do is whine and blame everyone else for their unhappiness.

That’s because Bush is not a lib. Double standard.

Obama Joker Poster Popping Up In Los Angeles

Here are Tammy’s snaps:

Makes you wonder who’s behind this.

I’m going to go and buy a new printer in a little while, I have not used mine in months and it won’t work.

Lets see if we can get some more hi-res pics of this, also I would love to see some form of an animated version where he slowly transforms.
