Everyone's an Art Critic

Ok so here's the poster showing up in L.A. and environs as well as blogs both respectable and disreputable (saw it here, didn't ya?);


Which, as she herself points out, looks suspiciously like the one The Gunslinger has had up for yeah unto a year or more now:



And the MSM is getting all kinds of pissy about it, I give you the LAWeekly's knickers in a twist:

New Anti-Obama 'Joker' Poster

By Steven Mikulan in politics
Monday, Aug. 3 2009 @ 9:53AM


A new poster depicting President Obama as a version of Heath Ledger's Joker
character in The Dark Knight has appeared in Los Angeles, according to rightwing sources. Blog posters to such online sites as American Thinker and Tammy Bruce are predictably in the throes of political orgasm. (is it politically correct to say political orgasm???)

The poster, which bears a very superficial resemblance to Shepard Fairey's
famous Obama Hope illustration, has been pasted on freeway supports and other public surfaces. It has a bit of everything to appeal to the drunk tank of California conservatism: Obama is in white face, his mouth (like Ledger's Joker's) has been grotesquely slit wide open and the word "Socialism" appears below his face. The only thing missing is a noose.

The safe money says the first thing out of the mouths of Fox News bobble-heads is, "Can't liberals take a joke?"



Well, he's right, of course. We did say that. But as Ace-sans-boa points out they do have a sense of humor, for it was not so long ago when they had their own non-racist wet dreams over this:

Funny how they're all serious like now. Bad form insulting politicians, you know.

HEY! MSM GOONS! YA WANNA KNOW WHAT REAL AMERICANS THINK OF THIS RACIST BOOGEYMAN YOU GUYS KEEP TRYING TO TROT OUT?

you know its pathetic how much the msm has watered down racism.

so much so that really, any criticism of zero is called racism

Zero's makeup is coming off, as did the fleshtoned makeup of Jack Nicholson's Joker in the first Batman movie. Maybe you recall the scene: The Joker had been lecturing the other crime bosses, (one of whom asked about the grin) about the new order in Gotham. Joker kills the skeptic among them and starts wiping off the fleshtoned makeup to reveal his bleached skintone.

Unfortunately, the howls of "socialism" as in the poster have distracted us from the painful fact that the Obamacrats are Keynesians, too. This makes them even more insidious than a socialist, no?, for the destination is much the same, but the masses find it more palatable.

Maybe some libertarian will set the artists straight.
