Secret Service looking into Obama-Joker fax By Eric Messinger Posted: 08/07/09 05:03 PM [ET] The Secret Service may investigate a fax sent to a Democratic lawmaker that depicts President Barack Obama as the Joker and warns of “death to all Marxists.”
The black-and-white fax portrays Obama in makeup similar to that worn by actor Heath Ledger in his portrayal of the Joker in last summer’s “The Dark Knight.”
On Obama’s forehead is a communist hammer-and-sickle insignia, and beneath the image is the text: “Death to All Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!”
Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) received the fax and passed it along to U.S. Capitol Police.
The Secret Service investigates threats made against the president. Ed Donovan, of Secret Service Public Affairs, said that the fax was “potentially an investigative intelligence matter.”
The fax’s image was the same featured in another recent Obama-as-Joker poster that received attention in the press earlier this week. The first image read only: “Socialism.”
The message made no specific reference to Baird and it is unclear why it was sent to his office. No other congressional office reported receiving a similar fax.
Baird has compared protesters who have shown up at lawmaker town halls during the recess to the Nazis.
“What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” Baird said in an interview with the Vancouver, Wash., Columbian on Thursday. “I mean that very seriously.”

I was just ribbin ya but, I think you’re not taking this situation very seriously.
ah the old NAZI ploy
do something and then blame it on the people who opposes.
Ah another tactic from the NAZI left wing, mail addresses to mail their messiah if they know anyone who opposes them
their leader talking about bringing guns and saying how they will hit twice as hard
paid men to hit people who oppose their leader
and this
and then the left tries to say they are not NAZI’s, well the facts are there for all to see and many are seeing it
I’m getting pissed off at the useless spineless GOP .
only two people have balls to say and speak out.
they are two women.
where have all the men gone in this party, why do they not get out and start getting mad about the pure NAZI tactics coming from the white house and the Dem party
people are bieng attacked from paid thugs and the media covers this up
10,000 people turn up to an event and the media, only th elocal media report it and then say 300 people turned up while clearly the camera sow it different as does the police estimate..
The GOP had better get some guts and a spine to stand against this isntead of making a little comment on the floor and then going away.
as for the media who ignore what is going on.
are you lot waiting for this country to go up in flames before you tell the truth?
It is quite clear what you media are doing but what you forget is that people talk to family, neighbors , friends etc
word is going around everywhere how you lot at CNN,MSNBC,NBC,ABC,CBS and yes even fox at times fail to report the goings on and how this country is being threatened with violence from within
you media are so far up your elitist arses you have no idea what normal folks feel now and how we are pissed off at you and the NAZI tactics being used.
the president has threatened the public and you stay silent
the president talks about guns and nothing from you
paid thugs attack those who oppose obama and you report nothingor spin it to exclude who did what.
you in the media should be ashamed of yourself
Toward FREEDOM!

As well they should, but why is it nothing ever happened to the talk show moron who had the photo of then-president G W Bush with the caption “Snipers Wanted”?
So whoever threatened Hussein’s life SHOULD BE PUNISHED. But for the threat—not for the “joker” thing.
^^^
Exactly! And I am sure all here would agree.
I do suspect, however, as others here have suggested that this is probably a False Flag operation.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all by that.
Ouch!
Sounds like they didn’t appreciate the basic flaw in the “plan” being pointed out.
The Obomanation is a much worse taste. So far, as I know, we are still free to express ourselves so long as no physical or mental harm is inflicted.
Surely, The Messiah can handle someone’s parody of our Marxist leader.
Of course, as has already been said, this may be a disinformation tactic genned up by Onada’s propaganda ministry to elicit sympathy. This crowd will tell any lie and try to silence any opposition to stay in power.
Here's a hint... when you are trying to be funny... use a smiley face. Otherwise... your comment looks mean and heavy-handed.
And I'm taking this far more seriously than you think. But I won't stoop down to the KOS or DU level... and neither should you.
“The SS has becomome part and parcel of the continuing nazi Obama political campaign.
President Bush suffered public hangings in effigy by the lefties and the SS never lifted a finger.This went on for YEARS.
And America is deeply cognizant of that fact.This alone strikes anger into the hearts of millions of Americans. Typical fascist fare, history has seen it all in the fascist start-up years of Europe in the 1920’s and 1930s.
The SS should be deeply ashamed of itself for campaigning on behalf of our pretend president.
Only a pretend president would stoop so low as to call passionate speech a genuine death threat, and unleash his personal security as part of his campaign as if they were the New Black Panthers “en guard.”. The real thing just might get by them in the mix.
So now the SS is politicized by Obama, and a likely progenitor of Obama’s planned Civilian Defence Force.They appear as a collection of thugs.
Yes, this is exactly how a pretend president would operate, insecure in his own executive office, fearful of being unseated because of his discovered fraud.”
I couldn’t have said it better!
During the Clinton Administration I became concerned that the SS was turning into a secret police force directed against opponents on the Right.
Do you remember Ron Noble? He was the first political appointed Director of the SS in 1994. In the past the custom was to appoint the SS Director from professional law enforcement officers, but the mold was broken with Noble.
It is my educated opinion, formed after years of SS watching, that Noble appointed Leftists as senior officers in the SS. Since the SS is a paramilitary organization, what these senior officers order are followed to the letter by the troopers who seemed concerned only about getting paid for working overtime at oppression.
“Leftists have a chant: “We repeat and we repeat and we beat and we beat”
The purpose of the Joker poster is turn Obama into the Joker. To make that graphic what people think of when they think of Obama. He’s not the Messiah, he’s not the one who is going to save the economy, or give us wonderful medical care, or a guy with cute kids or a president who gives a good speech or a person who is trying or even a person who fails.
Nothing one normally associates with the presidency, none of the positive images of the office have anything to do with him.
He is The Joker. He is evil.
That the poster is, or was for a while, amusing is helpful but beside the point.
That this tactic will work is beyond dispute. The howls from the left prove it. They know the damage such a graphic can do.”
I read a psychological profile on Obama a while back and the mental health professional thought that Obama was a psychopath - an individual with no conscience.
The would put Obama into the same league as Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin.
Oh!
And don’t forget the gruesome threesome always believed themselves to be, “Men of Destiny.”
Can you say, “civil war?”
A Second U.S. Civil War is where we are headed. I can’t imagine the American People are going to wait three years for the next presidential election to throw this troubled and highly dangerous person out of the White House.
‘Tracing a fax is easy. We better stay on this to learn where it came from and when/if they publicize it.’
I agree. I’d hate to think that a conservative would be so stupid as to leave an electronic trail, if it was indeed a conservative who did this. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was sent by a Nobama sympathizer to generate outrage against anti-Nobama patriots.
I try. Also, when you travel to the library, don’t use any credit or debit cards that would leave a paper trail.
And turn off your cell phone or leave it at home. They can track yo to a general area with them.
Jesus Christ said those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. That did not mean that Christian are pacifist. When a real war comes, we will fight. But thuggery, terrorism, threats, and violent intimidation are the tools of the left.
welcome to “the list”.
You can remove the card. :) Also, keep in mind, if you ever have the chance to hop on a lib’s computer, make sure to send something from them saying how much you despise the health care takeover by the Marxists in the WH. ;P
That was my first thought.
No big deal. During the Vietnam War I was an infantryman. I reenlisted for Army Military Intelligence and Berlin in the 70s. After Berlin came Ft. Meade, Maryland and the National Security Agency in the 80s.
These SS pukes who think they’re bad are nothing compared to the real deal in the Cold War.
BTW, I have it from a highly reliable source that my old NSA buddies are keeping an Eagle Eye on the White House.
