Obama Joker Face Bumps President’s Level of “Cool”
NewsReal Blog ^ | August 5, 2009 | Chris Yogerst

Posted on 08/05/2009 5:39:02 PM PDT by HorowitzianConservative

By now everyone has seen the new Obama/Socialism poster, which has stirred up quite the controversy. This sure seems strange, when one considers the massive number of George W. Bush posters that have publicly portrayed him as Hitler, a Vampire, or a criminal, among other things. As far as the hypocritical left is concerned, it is perfectly okay to make fun of a Republican president. But when there is a Democrat in office, ridicule becomes a serious offense.

Last night Greg Gutfeld, host of the Fox News program “Red Eye,” spoke about the Obama poster:

“[T]his Obama Joker face only elevates his hip persona. And it’s honest. Seriously, we live in a culture where anti-heroes have replaced heroes. Hence, Ledger’s Joker is far cooler than Bale’s Batman…. The Joker scoffed at tradition, after all. He revels in postmodern humor. And more important, he was played by a dead guy. You can’t get any cooler than that …”

Gutfeld is no leftist and has no love for Obama at all. This was satire or sarcasm that maybe didn’t come off so well. It probably follows a story the previous day where some college professors said that “Obama” is now a synonym for “cool.” Gutfeld had a field day making fun of that.

I had a former supervisor of mine from the Coast Guard drop me from his facebook friends list because I dared to ask the question of under what portion of the Constituion does Congress think it is getting the authority to enact Obamacare.

At the risk of exposing my own soft white underbelly, I will tell you exactly what his “Achille’s heel” is;

He is a Leo, as am I.
In fact, the creep was born just a few days after me.
[I, however, can prove it]...:)

Leos are first and foremost ALL about “ego”.

In our minds, we are kings and queens; born leaders whom the rest should follow blindly and obediently, regardless of where we lead them.

[sound familiar, yet?]

If a Leo is intentionally humiliated *once*, whomever humiliated them has likely earned an enemy for life.
A tenacious, relentless enemy who, in time, will inevitably “repay” the humiliation seven-fold.

*But*, if a Leo is constantly and collectively humiliated, we will implode from sheer internal rage born of incessant embarrassment.

We CANNOT TOLERATE humiliation or embarrassment.

There is your strategy.

Laugh at him loud and often.

Post your mockeries of His Highness wherever you can.

He’ll snap because the ego of a Leo is huge yet brittle and fragile thing.

That will manifest in one of 2 ways; he’ll curl into a fetal position *or* he’ll wage an all-out war upon his mockers.

“Derision” is your greatest weapon....and the closer the mockery comes to the truth of him, the better.

Deep inside, we’ll admit our self doubts and flaws to ourselves, but never to others.

Jovially sneer him out of “power”.

[But there are also “good Leos” aplenty, though, who throughout their life have learned that they are *not* gods and not infallible. Cherish them for their loyalty knows no bounds]

Here we have the era of where its cool to be anti - hero, anti culture, anti thesis anti everything including anti-president against everything American!

The poster is accurate, great and fitting for the Anti president.

Lets get another mans opinion! Try:

You didn’t lose *any* real “friends”.

Been there, done that.

Had many “liberal” friends for *years* and I knew they were liberals but as soon as they “found out” I was a conservative, I was called a Nazi, a warmonger, a gun nut...and on and on.

I loved and accepted those people, just as they were.

Who was truly more “liberal”, them or me?

The Joker: "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!"

Gutfeld is great. You are right about him. I wish I could catch his show more often.

Did the Vanity Fair depiction of Bush as Joker make him cool? I've never seen Red Eye, and it seems like I never will with this kind of BS.

There was a photo of Rahmbo on Drudge a few days ago, being scolded by a congressman. Rhambo looked like a Zombie, complete with black eye-rings. Would love to see these posted side-by-side..I don’t know how. The big question is.......who is the monkey and who is the organginder? {My personal opinion is that Zero may be a useful idiot...created and controlled by The Consortium (cloward-pivens-alinsky-michelle-jerimiahbullfrog, etc. etc.)

It was pointed out to me today that the Joker was an Anarchist, not a Socialist.

Webster's defines Anarchist as a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power. If the US established order is capitalism, then Obama is an anarchist by trying to make us a socialist country.

So by your estimation calling him a Joker is the worst thing that can be done. Interesting.

Pray for America

Did you watch the clip in question?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfFQwekKAEA

I really don’t care if you watch his show or not. He has had a show for quite some time and if you haven’t seen it by now your likely not going to see anyway. But like another poster said he has no love for 0bama. Sometimes his jokes are good and sometimes there not.
