Obama Joker Poster Popping Up In Los Angeles
Newsbusters ^ | August 1, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

Have you seen this poster?

Apparently, it's beginning to appear in odd places in Los Angeles, but nobody seems to know who's responsible for it.

Radio host Tammy Bruce posted some pictures of this odd creation at her blog Saturday morning (h/t Pamela Geller) leading me to investigate further.

At this point, all I could find on the subject was an April 25 article from Bedlam Magazine:

A poster of Barack Obama in Heath Ledger-style Joker make-up with the legend 'Socialism' beneath it has been popping up recently on surfaces around L.A. It does not appear to be in the same category as the many benign take-offs on the Shepard Fairey 'Hope' poster, such as the one by Australian James Lillis (more of a straightforward spoof that merely substituted a Shepardized image of Heath Ledger as Joker on the Obama poster).

That OBEY poster would have been great if they didn’t chop off his BIG EARS.

There is a group on Facebook that displays that pic ~ “Barry Soetero (AKA Barack Hussein Obama) Beer Garden”

“Where can I get about ten thousand of those???”

Why be such a piker? After the 535 or so for each member of Congress, there are another 300,000,000 who need to see and believe.

Or we could each one of us start a chain-email with proper threats if the recipient should choose not to pass it on to all in their address book.

The fences outside the White House and the halls of Congress need to be wallpapered with these posters.

You know why this works?

It’s simple; it’s a huge riff on a popular icon (Heath Ledger’s Joker), and it STEALS something that liberals are supposed to possess;

SPONTANEITY.

This is killer. If this is appearing in L.A. on the streets, this tells me that Obama is starting to lose independent-leaning kids.

This is HUGE.

Best,

Chris

I agree. I think this thing can be huge. It has tremendous viral potential, if it hasn’t gone viral already, that is.

Insofar as chairman zero is soooo thin-skinned, and cannot abide being laughed at, a great RNC TV ad showing commiebama sound bits, and people doing the ROTFLMAO thing after each sound bite. Just make him the laughing stock, that is his Achilles Heel.
