More racism from the teabagging terrorists......

Obama 'Joker' posters with a racist influence are appearing on the streets

Someone is taking far too much liberty with Photoshop. According to two different blogs the Obama "Joker" poster is turning up on the streets around Los Angeles. A picture of the poster can bee seen on the right. Unfortunately, in looking at the comments of these blogs the poster is actually praised rather than condemned. It seems political discourse has reached a new low. In fact, it is no longer discourse but simply racist images with one word posted on the streets.

The poster is an obvious inverse of the "blackfacing" of actors during the Jim Crow era. The major difference of course being in this poster President Obama is "whitefaced" with Joker makeup. Conservatives can tell me all day this is not racial but in all honesty can we really say the poster does not play on some emotions? In addition, the poster plays on the conspiracy theories advocated by commentators like Glenn Beck that Obama is somehow trying to takeover the country.

The appearance of the poster along with the growth of the Birther movement are discouraging signs for our democracy. There seems to be a very disgruntled minority of citizens who simply can not accept the legitimacy of Obama election. Rather than oppose the President using civility and the ballot box these groups are instead trying to fight using smear campaigns and outright lies.

Strangely enough, no one has considered The Joker to have a "racist influence" on any other person.   ::) ::)


Ouch...even the DUmmies get it...

6. it is not whiteface
 it is a play off the Joker right down to the scars on the sides of the mouth.

If The Dark Knight hadn't come out yet, this poster wouldn't look like this at all.

It isn't racist. It's juvenile, moronic, silly, stupid, and in some ways incomprehensible (what socialism equals anarchy? Obama wants to kill people for pleasure?). But it isn't racist.

The Joanne98 primitive shouldn't be shocked at the level of political discourse.

The primitives themselves are responsible for it.

That's the stupid little term that the DUmmies and Libtards in general have given to the people wanting Obama to tell the truth about his birth certificate and where he was really born.

This thing is so viral, eating up the webz like wildfire.  That "minority of disgruntled citizens" Joanne speaks of is quickly becoming the majority.

Bush is male, white, Christian, and Republican...4 targets in one.  Obama is male, biracial, not really religious, and Democrat...1-3 lands him at -2 targets.   :mental:

It's not "racist" to consider his race to be the main reason you can't criticize him.   ::) :thatsright: :mental:
