Good post on the Obama-as-Joker poster from Ed Driscoll.
Mr. Driscoll quotes the following:
Taking a step back from the Palin lynching; how, exactly, is this image racist?Mark Hemingway tosses L.A. Weekly’s hypocrisy right back at them:
And while we’re talking about double standards, I notice that L.A. Weekly blog which looked at the the Obama Joker poster and declared it so obviously racist that “the only thing missing is a noose” didn’t seem to have a problem with an actual, as opposed to feverishly imagined, depiction of lynching Sarah Palin.
Ledger's Joker gives me a serious case of the creeps. So does Barack Obama. But any possible racial aspect eludes me.
The SOCIALISM part, though: I get that, totally.
Comments welcome.

Painting his face white = RAAACISM
They can dish it out, but sure can't take it!
Don't you know that ANY criticism of the man is racism?? For the messiah he's pretty off limits. For goodness sakes the actual messiah was subjected so so much criticism he was killed! You'd think this second messiah would take notes from the original.
