What to make of the posters seen around Los Angeles (and now the Internet) depicting President Obama as the white-faced Joker, with the label “socialism”? One obvious problem is that the late Heath Ledger’s Joker wasn’t a socialist but an anarchist.
“The charge of socialism is secondary to the basic message that Obama can’t be trusted, not because he is a politician, but because he’s black,” declared Philip Kennicott in the Washington Post.
Observed Los Angeles Times blogger David Ng: “The most that can be said about Obama-as-Joker is that it’s a prank that the Joker himself would have been proud of. It has exploded like a cultural grenade — an act of cultural terrorism? — and has left meaningless chaos in its wake.”
“I say let the First Amendment do its thing,” blogged columnist Clarence Page, adding that “posters are a healthier way to protest than sending in thugs and thuggettes to disrupt health care town hall meetings.”

While I’m not a fan of the posters, the left who complains has an awful short memory, after 8 years of endless nastiness such as BusHi**er, etc., etc.
You reap what you sow.
Libs whine way too much about stuff.

Hate usually comes from not understanding, or from fear. We’ve seen the evidence for the lack of understanding and the fear from conservatives — look at the ‘birthers,’ the ‘tea-baggers,’ and the ‘health-care reform disrupters.’ They’ve bought the propaganda and disinformation. Conservatives dislike change, they don’t understand it, and they seem to truly fear it. Too much credit is being given to a party that barely exists, and then only as a regional party irrelevant in national elections.

Proof?
Kind of funny — at a town hall, a representative
asked how many were against socialized medicine,
and almost every hand went up. Then he asked how
many were on Medicare and about half the hands went
up. Then he asked how many wanted to give up their
socialist Medicare plan and no hands went up.
Ah, Medicare, Social Security, VA Health Care,
ag payments, Interstate highways, NASA, all socialist programs run by the socialist
government under BOTH Democratic and Republican
administrations. Fact: America has long been a
socialist country and Republicans especially love Uncle Sugar!!
Yup, love all those handouts — even more so when
they don’t have to pay for them!!
Yet, no one is denying O’Bama is not a Socialist.
That just kind of lays there, undisputed.
President Obama is not a Socialist, he is the president of the United States of America which is a republic.

Of course Obama is a socialist. Duh.
But so are all of you — unless you
reject socialist programs like social
security, Medicare etc. etc. Hey,
unless you want to live like a true
Libertarian, realize that YOU are a
socialist, too. Me, I’ll take my
share as a socialist-lite member.
O Donny Boy is still afraid of a few ACORNs? Grow some balls, Donny. If the Grand Old Party can’t cope with a handful of teenage activists, maybe it had better fold it’s big tent and slink off into the twilight!

I forgot to post it with my other nic “Conbluejay”.
Oh damn, “fleettwood” –
The Designated Hitter Rule is “socialist.”
The post office is “socialist.”
The fire department is “socialist.”
They’ve even infiltrated my home! I stop at red lights and go at green lights and drive on the right side of the road only due to “socialist” oppression. My faucet and my toilet are connected to a “socialistic” plot designed to analyze my turds.
Go dig a well and squat and crap in the back yard and prepare to pee on your house afire if you’re so adamant against “SOCIALISM!!!!” (I’d suggest you stay off the highways.)
If the rest of the world dies and goes to Hell, I’ll send you a postcard.
Oh wait…
monkey avoids the issue entirely.
And still no denial of O’Bama being a Socialist.
Monkey is not a socilist. hell he don’t even knows what it even means.
I think it is deliberate that they put Obama in a White Face.
Is that as offensive as putting a white man in a black face?
“FORD1ST” defends me –
“Monkey is not a socilist.”
Yer damned right I’m no “socilist!”
I am, however, literate.
Spreading the wealth around. Socialism 101:
“My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
So the enema man wants “wealth” to be concentrated in the hands of an elite few?
Damn monarchist!!!!!!
Go back to England ya brown bloody fool!
So the enema man wants “wealth” to be concentrated in the hands of an elite few?

Typical con racist.

Holy Moly! Where in the he11 did that come from?
You people are so weak!
Some of my best friends are Halfrican Americans!
enema boy…the hate you spew at Obama comes from the racist you are.
BTW..Obama approval rating moves back up….to 58%.
Go back to your Klan meeting and weep…enema jerk!
enema jerk!
____________________________
’sup with all the enema talk? I can dislike O’Bama and it has nothing to do with him being Halfrican.
I don’t like Dodd or Pelosi or Reid either.
And you.
Looks like he is tired of staring into his teleprompter.
Not his best shot. But fitting for the socialist who is destroying America.
Worst president. Ever.
I guess I missed your post last year when a similar depiction of Bush was on the front cover of Vanity Fair.
Ever notice how ’satatom’ resembles the products of the enema he seems consumed with, the solids, semi-solids and liquids….that’s him.
Now watch him come back bragging about how great he is with other peoples wives….the scrub.
Your nic is synonymous with “enema” nitwit!
The only scrub America has seen is the coked out drunk president the Cons worshiped for 8 years.
At least we now have a President who is working to build America instead of ripping it off for his daddy’s business buddies.
Boxlicker wishes he was married instead of living in his mom’s basement.
Ha ha ha….ya scrub!
“Killing the leader of the group that protected bin Laden seems like a big deal to me. Think for a minute about the attempt to paint Obama as Carter. Now think of three real-time operations – the killing of the Somali pirates, the release of the NoKo hostages, and now the targeted killing of the Taliban’s leader. Does that sound like Jimmy Carter to you? Now how about getting Osama? Wouldn’t that be a coup? I suspect he’s working hard on it.”
–Andrew Sullivan
Add Obama’s decision do cadge the Iranian election results (resulting in Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ’s call for a recount, which rocked Iran’s hardliners to their sandals) and Obama’s hittin’ nothin’ but rocket triples when it comes to US foreign policy. Things are definitely picking up for the USA when it comes to our relationship with the rest of the world.
And get this: iit’s only six months in.
Six measly months!
Sweet.
Hats off, Mr. President!
No matter how well Obama does, the racists will find fault and make things up.
They have stated they want America to fail.
That puts them in league with Osama bin Laden.
Traitors all.
“Six measly months!
Sweet.
Hats off, Mr. President!”

Another reason for the fear that comes out as anger and hate — success under a Democratic president.
There once was a time after a political party suffered election losses they worked even harder to come up with alternate plans and policies to earn their way back to power. Today’s GOP is aptly called the party of NO.
Pedant, wake up the rest of the world, other than 3rd world dictators like Chavez, are laughing at him and us, except of course those allies like Israel and they have no idea what’s in his head.
Hat’s off to the military for getting guy in Pakistan, Obama had nothing to do with it and it’s an insult to them to suggest it.
Boxlicker is an insult to the human race for being.

Nope.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s Taliban chief was killed by a CIA missile strike, a militant commander confirmed Friday — a severe blow to extremists threatening the stability of this nuclear-armed nation and a possible boost to U.S.-Pakistani cooperation in fighting insurgents who wreak havoc along the Afghan border.
—
The CIA is a civilian intelligence agency and as such does not report to the military, not in the USA. President Obama pulls their trigger, not generals.
Find a topic you actually know something about to post in, ok?

Boxlicker got spanked but good!
Dance ya little poodle boy!
The economy is improving and the cons will have nothing but vitriol and attacks left. Their policies have been proven to be against the people of this country. Clinton fixed it the first time, Bush ruined it in 8 years. Now in less than a year, Obama has started to turn their destroy America tactic, and they just can’t wrap it around their heads that their policies FAIL EVERY TIME.
Pedent,
If Obama had anything to do with the missile strike then good for him. I imagine he knew nothing about it until it was reported though.
satatom, you are still nothing but a petty little scrub and even the DimLibs here know that.

Who knows?
The only thing I know for sure is that if that missile had killed a house full of day-care kids, yall’da been hangin’ President Obama now (figuratively) (’cept for some of yall…and yall know exactly who I’m talkin’ about).
Still, I can only hope that I could so readily join in a similar success of President Bush’s. Your graciousness is tempered only by your obvious and expressed patriotism, sir.
Have a good weekend!
You too Pendant, have a good weekend that is.
Oh and Pendant,
People and things get badly broken in war, including by accident. Unfortunately innocents like children as well.
I really don’t think I would come down on Obama for something like that unless it was obviously out of intent or lack of concern to avoid it.

I believe you.
War is all hell, said Gen. Sherman. And he was correct, at least when it comes to wars fought victoriously.
You know, when it’s all said and done, we all wish only the best for the USA and all her citizens. You and me both. I know that, so do you.
Yeah remember the cons fit they had when Clinton accidentally bombed the aspirin factory trying to get Bin Laden? At least he tried. Bush ignored the ‘Bin Laden determined to strike in the US” memo that sat on his desk.
Pendent posted,
“You know, when it’s all said and done, we all wish only the best for the USA and all her citizens. You and me both. I know that, so do you.”
They say the less said the better so I simply say to that, ‘Amen’, and I say that with all sincerity.
I don’t care who elevates the condition of the people of the this country, I support that.
I simply distrust Obama, from his past voting records, from is association with very questionable people who have acted, in my opinion, to harm the U.S., to his lack of support for Constitutional principals. I don’t trust him at all. As they say, actions speak louder than words. His words are ’sweet’ his actions, in the past, not so.
I hope the country, I live in and love, is strong enough to hold to it’s founding principles and withstand a socialist onslaught.
The country that you so love has failed an awful lot of people.
To elevate people like you.
You had to know that would have a price one day.
You have failed yourself BlowJ, this country hasn’t.
The country has given you every possible chance to do with your life what you will….and IN FACT you have done exactly that….nothing, yet you blame others and the country.
That is not anyone’s fault but your own.
The price to pay is your own and the reward as well, as it it written:
“YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.”
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 KJV)
Yeah?
“God” help you then bawks. You keep looking up for answers. I’ll look around.
He’s hitting the bible as he hits the bottle.
It’ll only get more amusing from here!

Obama As Joker And Typical Hypocritical Liberal Outrage
By Michael Eden
Pictures of Obama as “the Joker” above the label “socialism” began popping up around the L.A. area.
Needless to say, liberal outrage was swift to follow.
It didn’t matter that liberals had already come up with the idea themselves to attack George Bush. Nor did it matter that this was the work of one anonymous person, versus the fact that the “Bush-as-Joker” project was created by a major mainstream media outlet in Vanity Fair.

I do BlowJ, both up and around, and ya know what, it’s working pretty good for me….not so apparently for you. Does that tell you something, or are you so stupid or resistive to the call of God in your life.
You are failing BlowJ, and no matter whose in charge of this country politically you will remain a loser unless you do something about it yourself. I’m betting you won’t.

Read it and weep:
A USA Today/Gallup survey suggested that six months into his presidency, his popularity was lower than George W Bush’s at the same stage of his tenure.
Amid rising unemployment and falling confidence in his economic plans, Mr Obama’s job approval rating has dropped by nine points since January to 55 per cent, a point below his predecessor in mid-2001.

Yall do remember the lesson the Dems had to learn all over again in 2004?
Right?!?
Everyone keeps talking about socialism. This country is far past socialism. It is fascism or even worse. Ever since 1913, the presidents have been nothing but puppets. The last one who tried to break that was Kennedy and we all know what happened when he tried to expose the central banking system which we now know today as the “Federal” Reserve. The presidents are nothing but an actor on a stage. They are chosen and come out on the stage to sing, dance and entertain us.Behind the curtain is a banking oligarchy that runs the whole show.
OMG! It’s SOOOO EVIIIIL!! How dare anyone desecrate the image of the MESSIAH O-BAAA-MAAA?!!
This is as outrageous an act as desecrating the image of Allah or Jesus.
That’s it! NO MORE FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR THE SLAVES!!
And a re-education camp for the criminals that put these posters up.
