A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters. The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.

"well, here in Pittsburgh, if somebody made a picture that looked like that and posted it many times over and over again, we’d build a museum to him.

...oh, wait....we did....."

A lot of people don't know that we have the Andy Warhol museum and I'm sure you're referring to it. I don't understand why we have this museum. I know he was born in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, but he moved to New York, gained fame there and never ever mentioned Pittsburgh or visited here again from what I can remember. He should have a museum in New York IMO.

Notice how leftists and the state run media are now, in unison, portraying any form of dissent against Obama’s usurpations as ‘dangerous’.

This kind of branding can only be a prelude to something else. I’ll let you figure out what...

So it’s ok to put Obama’s face in that, right? or meeshells?

I think we know that answer to THAT one.

Oh, give me a break! These leftists are wringing their heads about the Obama/Joker image being "dangerous and mean-spirited", let me refresh their memory a bit. I spent 10 minutes on Google and came up with a bonanza of anti-Bush and anti-conservative-presidential candidate images.

These first four images were taken by the Zombietime blogger at protests in the San Francisco Bay area:

This next one shows Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, with his contribution to the leftist cause:

Here's one from a Washington, DC protest:

And one from a Denver protest:

This is just a small sampling of the rainbows and puppydogs artwork that the leftists never had a problem with.

More to come...

Good for you. Glad you came aboard.

That’s tough, liberal pussies. You dished it out for eight years and now you’re going to get it back ten-fold.

More from my quick anti-Bush image search:

Another one from a Washington, DC protest:

Did we hear any wailing and gnashing of teeth from the radical left and radical left feminists about the unacceptability of violent sexism when the effigy of Sarah Palin showed up on a house in Kentucky (IIRC)? Here it is on display for an EBAY auction, which was subsequently cancelled by EBAY as offensive:

And here it is on the house:

And one more shot of that Palin effigy, just to rub the whiny leftists' nose in their own poo:

And now a final message to the whiny leftists with misplaced outrage who may be looking at this thread: Your recent protestations of "dangerous and mean-spirited" images of your empty-suit hero, Zero, don't hold much value in my book. When your cohorts were beheading, dousing with "blood" and lighter fluid, attaching horns, hanging by a noose and otherwise "monkeying" with the likeness of President Bush, VP Cheney, Sarah Palin and other of your political enemies, you spoke nary a peep.

You'll now get no sympathy from me.

The toilet on the left is full of this crap and it’s political satire but then it’s not the same when their boy wonder Obama gets chewed up!....L.O.L.! Eat it MOFO’S!

Well, maybe someone should make a transition GIF cycling through GWB, a baboon, Obama, baboon, GWB, etc. The first part has been done over and over, but the second part would no doubt be.... racist!

“A lot of people are getting their noses out of joint about a poster popping up around Los Angeles comparing President Barack Obama to the Joker. Frankly, I don’t get it.“One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations.

The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger.”

Thanks!

Bears repeating:

Comparing President Barack Obama to the Joker:

One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations.

The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger.
