The LA Weekly ”…only thing missing is the noose.”:
A new poster depicting President Obama as a version of Heath Ledger’s Joker character in The Dark Knight has appeared in Los Angeles.
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.

All criticism is characterized as racist.
Predictable.
Typical Liberal: “Wait a minute! They are using our own tactics against us? No fair!! waaaaaah!!!”
These people might watch the movie and see if they can figure out what the Joker character was all about.
The Left is beginning to fear the rage of the Right, particularly the fact that they are shoveling the same system of Marxism that ended the lives of nearly a hundred million under Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Ho Chi Minh and Mao.
We don’t want their nonsense, LA Weekly is a free Lib rag...worthless and crying for Socialism.
The picture is what most folks want to lodge the complaint on. If you stand back and analyze “socialism” and the “Joker” vision in Dark Knight...you walk away with this anti-hero trying to sell something...which you almost wanted to buy into (half-way through the movie), and then by the end...you realize whatever his guy was selling...you really didn’t care for. The Batman was still the right guy in the end.
I do not want socialism in America and I especially don’t want it run by the f’ing whack left nut jobs we have in this country!.....JEEZ!....NO and HELL NO!......
What I thought was significant was that this poster - that is going viral - began life in LA. Gives me a tiny bit of optimism that the cities aren’t completely lost to the left.
I just love the underground opposition!
I thought those were mutually exclusive terms.
I mean, I know there are conservatives there, but is there really conservatism?
L.A. weekly LOVED Robbie Conal and his disgusting guerrilla posters that plastered the city with pictures of Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld and every other conservative target.
As Rush said, this picture is a form of art. It’s OK to soak the Cross with Christ, in a glass of urine and call that art and get a govt grant to support it.
the noose already showed up...in Oregon at a Quaker-affiliated university. So much for the “drunk tank of California conservatism” theory.
LOL Waaaaaaahhhh! Bunch of cry babies.
Free because socialists only respond to free stuff. If they charged a penny, they'd never see their readers again.
When all criticism is “racist”, then the word is meaningless, and absolutely nothing is racist. Which is OK with me. These idiots need to read the old nursery tale about the boy who cried wolf.
The reaction to this characterization should be outrage by all but especially by anyone old enough to remember the "underground" press from the days of East Village Other, Berkeley Barb, and the several other anti-Establishment publications of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble. I did not agree with them but their, often over the limit, humor was keen-witted.
In those days we all accepted the true meaning of freedom. The Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble have had a generation to metastasize and arguably are now the Establishment.
No surprise of course.. now that the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (children) are now the Establishment's Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) they will brook no opposition.
(That ain't name calling. The Sixties Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble really have taken over the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party. Under the hail of "neo-con" taunts many Democrats fled the Party.)
So what was LA weekly’s reaction when Vanity Fair ran a similar portrait of Bush as the Joker? I’d bet they didn’t squeal “racism”. In fact, I’d bet they didn’t say a fricking word. I love this poster if it upsets the left.
