Dissent:

by Little Miss Attila on August 4, 2009

Highest form of patriotism, or disloyalty to this great country?

Or racism?

I think I’ll go with racism. BTW, anyone who disagrees with me is a sexist.

Spadilio, waxing Southern and downright Bethlike toward the end of his rant:

Big Hollywood also notices that the LA Weekly, so upset by this Obama Joker image, published themselves pictures of Bush-as-Vampire.

But it’s racist to do it to Obama.

Not just partisan politics as usual. No, racist and dangerous.

Yeah, it was dangerous to demonize Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Palin, too. There are plenty of insane liberals. Some of them are even violent. Like, you know those ex-convicts Democrats always want back on the voting rolls? Yeah. They’re not voting GOP, by and large.

Nor are the hardcore Islamic jihadist types that Barry & Co. have been wooing. And I hear that once in a while such a hardcore Islamist jihadist type sometimes gets it into his head to commit a malfeasance or two.

But while there is always some danger in hard-nosed partisan politics — always risk that some one thinks his path to becoming a Big Damn Hero lies through political assassination — I seem to notice that the liberal media is rather more comfortable with those risks when it’s a GOP [politician] in the cross-hairs.

“Snipers Wanted,” Craig Kibourne said, and the media yawned.

But this?

Outrage.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So to the suddenly-alarmed media: fuck y’all and go die in a fire.

Read the whole thing.

AllahPundit doesn’t get the connection between Socialism/Obama and The Joker, but does cop to having missed The Dark Knight. I think the Joker’s robbing of banks and burning of money is enough to satisfy me in that regard, but YMMV.

Of course, if I were to portray Obama as all-out-evil, I’d probably want to allude to his abandonment of the Iranian people in the name of not-meddling, and the Honduran people in the name of . . . well, a little meddling never hurt anyone, except some people I’ve never met who just speak Spanish anyway.

For the side-by-side comparison of good uses of Heath Ledger’s joker versus naughty ones, you might pop over here.

Big Hollywood on the L.A. Weekly: The only thing really missing is intellectual consistency.

And here’s Mike of Cold Fury, who has modified the Obama-Joker poster to clarify things a bit:

<i>Connecting the dots.</i>

Connecting the dots.

I’d recommend listening to the “Jokers ” monologues, as they’re really as neat a definition of nihilism as I’ve ever heard. The thing about marxists is that they admit to the empirical need to destroy capitalism. So, we have an unvetted joker who was raised by marxists who goes on to act like one….jeez, go figure….Joe the Plumber drug him out into the light, if anyone was paying attention. However, a fascinating thing is happening, old geezers who ain’t goin’ gentely into the dark night….And to make a bad pun out of Pink Floyd, but now we’re seeing pigs on the wing. Who is Orwell, and what did he want?

I had a guy say that if he saw anyone wearing this image he would just punch them in the mouth, “no questions asked” (I assume male or female mattered not) So I responded “I’m not only wearing one, I’m distributing, where would you like to meet?” 🙂

Then left a link to my store http://www.cafepress.com/4therepublic

He did not respond.

I don’t think the guy is a socialist anyway, I think he’s a full bore marxist. I think his mama had him in red diapers and he just went further to the left. Socialist, no Stalinist, yes.
