Does it get any better? The creator of the infamous "Obama as Joker" poster is a Democrat and a Palestinian immigrant. Can conservatives expect an apology?

I’d hate to be in this guy’s shoes. His own party is going to barbecue him for lunch, and he won’t get any sympanthy like Joe-the-Plumber.

Oh cool...gotta head over to DU to watch their heads explode, LOL!

That won’t happen... They don’t want anything to do with this pic, as it’s insulting but cannot be called racist.
There isn’t much of those around these days.
If anything, they want it to go away, they won’t make noise around it.

I just stumbled across this, so take it for whatever it's worth ( excerpted, read the whole thing at the link ):
Interestingly, although this image is superficially the Joker, on a deeper level it is an image of Baron Samedi, the lord of death on the Voudon loa...
...All through the Caribbean and various parts of South America a form of voodoo is very popular. It has come to the United States up through New Orleans and parts of Louisiana. Santeria is a close cousin...
Whether this was actually intended or was an accident, it says something even deeper about Obama than the Joker character.

If only the clown face could be animated to say “That’s Racist”. That would be cool.
