zosodude13 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Compared to some of the other attacks, this is child's play. Yeah, I'm not happy about it... but I'm not outraged either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMcLov1n Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 How the hell is that racist? It has literally nothing to do with race. A fucking monkey could figure out the meaning of that poster (socialism equating to insanity, which the Joker was etc.). It's obviously spoofing The Joker, who used white face paint. Is it racist just because he's black? If so, claiming that in itself is racist. And also, the whole boo-hoo-socialist-president-the-sky-is-falling mentality pisses me off. There are plenty of socialized services in the US. Healthcare should be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanadu Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 This may be a different matter altogether, but still at the moment it reminds me a bit about how media used to direct attention from Michael Jackson's actual message and charity work into him supposedly having been a "freak".

lzfan715 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't really care about the picture but I don't think it's racist. I just thought it was a spoof of the Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I certainly don't care about the picture. I don't find it funny either. File this under the "Who gives a fuck?" section for me. I don't really understand it though, because The Joker is an anarchist, not a socialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryingbluerain Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 The Joker is an anarchist, not a socialist. The Joker is an agent of chaos. His goal is to spread the influence of disarray. To transform Gotham into a true “world without rules” is The Joker's only goal. In regards to Obama, his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, plans big things because our current crisis provides an opportunity to get it done: "Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste. They are opportunities to do big things." Under this view, the need to accomplish big government action is the problem, and the crisis is the solution. Is Obama’s goal to fix the crisis, or to use it to accomplish other things that he wanted to accomplish anyway? This isn’t a paranoid question, not according to Rahm Emanuel.

I'm afraid to say I don't agree with Mr. Emanuel. I'm not big on conspiracies myself. The fact is that the poster makes no sense. Socialism restricts personal freedoms, and Anarchism does the exact opposite. It's a stupidly vague, and unfunny poster. Now everyone take a deep breath, and get over your stupid political biases.

59LesPaul Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Am I supposed to be pissed off about this? I'm not. What does piss me off-and profoundly disappoint me-is the fact that the media is going to try to make it a race issue when it so clearly is not. More distraction for the masses.....

Nathan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 This. Is. Awesomesauce. Love it. Absolutely fuckin' love it. Oh hypocrisy, thy name is Politics. Liberals created the image of Bush but hate the image of Obama. Conservatives created the image of Obama but hate the image of Bush. December 21, 2012 can't come soon enough. End us, please, before we end ourselves. Racist? Only because he's black. If he were white, this would not even be an issue. December 21, 2012 can't come soon enough. End us, please, before we end ourselves. The Joker represented Chaos (Anarchy is simply a lack of Government. Chaos is a lack of control, including personal.). Socialism is the exact opposite. December 21, 2012 can't come soon enough. End us, please, before we end ourselves. This will cause a shit-storm for a while, now, easily distracting us from more important issues. December 21, 2012 can't come soon enough. End us, please, before we end ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I still don't see any outrage . . . Perhaps if we're told often enough we're supposed to be outraged, we'll get outraged. Or fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Zeppnile Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Barack Obama Joker socialism poster denounced as racist Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, denounced the image and called on those behind it to reveal themselves. "Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery. "It is mean-spirited and dangerous. "We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama." What a frigging joke these liberal cry babies are! Posters like those have been all over Los Angeles since the Reagan administration. Most of them are plastered on the sides of those street signal switch boxes you see near the intersections. But for over 25 years most of these political satires have been directed at Republicans and conservatives. Where were the complaints from these do gooder leftist assclowns when the ape pictures of George W. Bush were all over town? And crown prince of assclowns Earl Ofari Hutcheson is the biggest fool in Black politics. A moron with a chip on his shoulder. There is nothing "racist" about that Obama picture. What are we to assume, that Black people are babies and can't take the same kind of political satire that white politicians can take. And this coming a week after "The Obama's" rant on the racist cop that wasn't a racist cop because the only racist was "the Obama's" leftist whitey hating harvard professor friend. This administration will go down as being the biggest assclownery show since Pee Wee Herman got caught wanking his privates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
