I’m not the biggest believer in the government or “politricks,” but Obama has definetly raised my interest level. Sorta like the Williams sisters with tennis or Tiger with golf. Since Obama has been running and now elected to the office of president, I’ve done research on the terms “communism” and “socialism” because of the rhetoric that has been used to attack his agenda. I guess this is another example…
This Obama-as-Joker poster, which has appeared on utility poles in Los Angeles and throughout the Internet, has enraged Democrats and bloggers, some of whom have blasted it as racist.
During his Tuesday broadcast, Rush Limbaugh declared there’s nothing racist about the poster. But he went further, comparing Ledger’s Joker, one of the most evil villains in movie history, to the current president of the United States. Yes, he did. Nothing implied, nothing insinuated. Here’s he said:
[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.
Limbaugh claimed that Obama and the Joker share a 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.
