Obama as The Joker posters still causing controversy, now racially charged

Caption should've been 'why so social'CalibreS

Thats freaking awsum, he should be honored :D

If you're famous, you will eventually be made fun of. There's nothing offensive about this picture at all; it's just whiny-ass PC crybabies making a scene over nothing, as usual.

Come on, at least they could have done something like "why so socialist?"

EDIT: Never mind, apparently I'm not the only one who had that idea. :P

[QUOTE="Bourbons3"]Again, Obama isn't a socialist. He's nowhere near being a socialist. The US needs to get over that.Link256

I think it'sevident in his policies that he's not a very liberal guy. He's making deals with Republicans at every turn, when he could be using his powerful majority to get actual progressive legislation past. This crisis is the Republicans' and libertarian's fault (for the most part), so I think they should have the least say in what goes on in order to fix their problems.

Thats because he is forced to, the vast majority of the democrats in house are a bunch of weaklings.. Seriously look at the whole Gitmo bay fiasco, where Obama tried to rally the dems to close it down as a holding area for terrorists... They all caved in to Republican weak claims of them being on our soil, even though we have never had a escape from a maximum security prison.. sSubZerOo

Also true, and it's mostly the 'moderate' democrats fault (they're the ones blocking us on healthcare, too...)

Obama has got to fire his make-up guy or gal.

I don't really see any real reason why this poster is any more "unsettling," offensive, or "dangerous" than any other political image that criticizes a politician. It's not a personal attack, and big picture wise, it's nothing particularly remarkable. That the image causes such controversy is, in my mind, just an indicator of Obama's ferociously devoute supporters and the cult of personality that he had going on last year. This poster isn't anything special, nor is it anything particularly wrong or harmful. Paladin_King

I don't think anyone here actually finds it genuinely offensive...I for one don't, and Obama is my guy (though I disagree with some of his more conservative policies).

Doesn't anyone see the racism? A BLACK man wearing WHITE makeup, with reddish lips!

It makes no sense.

What the hell does the Joker have to do with Socialism?

My oh my, Obama looks hawt with make-up on :oops:

What the hell is with Americans and socialism? It's not like it's a bad thing. I mean, Canada is almost socialist and they're socially regarded to higher standards than the US politically.

haha that made my day >< nice pic haha

Hmmm. I think Vanity Fair did a joker poster for Bush in 2008. I guess someone just took that idea and applied to Obama. Would be funny if this appeared in every city in the US.

And honestly, if anyone is offended by this, they are freakin' hypocrites. If someone can write a book about assassinating Bush, then someone can make little posters that slander Obama's policies. If someone can take a crucifix and put it upside down in a jar of urine and have it be called art, then someone can make a poster that defames Obama as a raving socialist.

Hiler says "Hi!"

Why is it "dangerous"? Countless things have been done to Bush like this and I've never seen it stated as "dangerous."

Freedom of speech and freedom of press...

Deal with it people.

The hundreds and thousands of pictures negatively depicting George W. Bush never brought up any controversy. I guess when the savior of mankind is in office, it will.

@Rusteater:
Hi hitler.
Now anyways, why do Americans seem to hate socialism?

(lol, I don't think that all socialist dictatorships are helmed by smooth-talking insane mass murderers.)

It goes against what our country was founded upon. A free market. We have been destroying that for years.

Our government is supposed to be small and should stay out of the way in economic and most social issues. It does not. Our government has grown huge because the people wanted it that way. They wanted somebody to fix everything for them, they wanted something to blame.

Finally people are realizing that our government has grown to much, but they put the blame on only one man, Obama. The truth is the US government has been increasing in size since the 40s. Every president since then has increased it by a considerable amount.

[QUOTE="Cube_of_MooN"]That's causing controversy? Man, some people are sensitive.nocoolnamejim

The only thing i find offensive about that poster is that whoever made it thinks that the goals of Obama and the goals of the Joker are the same thing.
