Rush Limbaugh Attacks: Obama, the Joker and Me
AOL ^

Posted on 08/05/2009 8:35:38 AM PDT by floor sweeper

Limbaugh was explicit: Obama has been conning whites. Is that a racist attack? I'll let you decide. But with such powers of analysis, Limbaugh, no doubt, will soon be likening Obama to other Batman enemies: Mr. Freeze, the Riddler and Two-Face. There's a whole line of posters waiting.

Limbaugh's racial-tainted assault on Obama is what deserves scornful attention. Yet how do I fit into all this? After finishing his Obama-as-Joker riff, Limbaugh noted that a previous piece of Joker-inspired political art -- a Vanity Fair illustration of George W. Bush as the Ledger character -- prompted no popular outrage when it appeared last year. Hypocrisy, he shouted. What's more, he added, the VF drawing was of low artistic quality.

David Corn, in response to Rush’s comment that he’s a poor artist: “Ouch.”

Ouch, indeed. Hurt, did it, David?

From reading David Corn’s article, Rush Limbaugh was absolutely spot on in his comparing Heath Ledger’s The Joker to Obama. Only, The Joker wanted to trick people into blowing up a ferry boat, Barack wants to trick us all into giving away our heritage of freedom.

Corn really thinks he is clever:

What's more, he added, the VF drawing was of low artistic quality. He huffed:
This thing that Vanity Fair ran doesn't even look like Bush. It looks like David Corn, the guy who used to write for The Nation. On a normal day it looks like David Corn.
Ouch. But having one's physical appearance besmirched by Rush Limbaugh is like having one's moral fiber questioned by . . . well, Rush Limbaugh. (For the record, I now work for Mother Jones, not The Nation.)
Well for the record, Mr. Corn, Rush didn't say you now work for The Nation; he said you used to work for The Nation.

Rush's quote cited by Mr. Corn was: "... It looks like David Corn, the guy who used to write for The Nation.

No, you have decided for us. Any criticism of Obama by melanin-challenged conservatives is de facto racism.

In addition to what you posted, for the record, Mr Corn, Rush Limbaugh didn't besmirch your appearance, Vanity Fair did.

You are correct, Limbaugh's comaprison of Obama to Heath LEdger's "Joker" is SPOT ON:

"[The Joker] had a big damn chip on his shoulder about his childhood and about a bunch of other things. His goal was to undermine the whole system. . . . And to effect the change that the people of Gotham City didn't want, the Joker created chaos upon chaos. The whole city was focused on him and what he was going to do next. He viewed crisis as an opportunity. So the Joker orchestrated crisis after crisis after crisis. And the Joker wore a mask. I mean whoever put this poster together is pretty smart because there are some similarities here to what the Joker did in that movie and what Obama is doing to this country."

RUSH is RIGHT when he says that Obama and the Joker share the following FUNDAMENTAL TRAIT:

Obama has admitted to wearing masks. In "Dreams from My Father": (paraphrasing) "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned. People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved, such a pleasant surprise to find a well mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." This is his tactic for fooling white people. This is the mask."

There is also a ploy and trait that Jack Nickleson's "Joker" shares with Obama: Throwing money AT the teaming scrabbling masses while screaming over the microphone: "HUBBA, HUBBA, HUBBA, WHO DO YOU TRUST? I'M GIVING AWAY 'FREE MONEY'". All the while the "Joker" is plotting to DESTROY THEM ALL!. This fits Obama and his Obamajoker persona to a tee!

I agree...why is it though, when I think of Obama, I think of Michael Caine’s line “Maybe he just wants to watch the world burn”.

I get a very narcissistic, “do as I say, not as I do” quality from him (a quality I despise). God help us for the next 3.5 years.

He reminds me as well of the stool I flushed this morning, after a meal including several ears of corn last night.
