Obama "Joker" or Bush "Joker"?

[Anti Federalist]

Which is a more accurate portrayal?

To me, both are Jokers.

The Obama Joker.

Agreed.

[Stary Hickory]

One is racist and the other is cool.

That's the difference

Really?

Which one is which?

[Dr.3D]

Well, of course the Bush Joker one is the racist one.

[tremendoustie]

Bush and Obama are of course both jokers, but the Bush joker above doesn't look that much like him, to me.

[Anti Federalist]

Well, of course the Bush Joker one is the racist one.

This whole "Obama Joker" meme is really intriguing to me.

I'm really confused here...

It's cool to lampoon a tyrannical, criminal, public "official" by painting him in the movie makeup of a tyrannical criminal, but becomes "racist" when a tyrannical, criminal public official is lampooned in the same exact fashion, based solely on the color of the skin beneath the makeup?

Besides Obama is half white, is it then "half racist"?

:confused:

Racist is in the eye of the beholder. Those who think it is racist are probably the ones who are thinking about race in the first place. If that is in fact the case, then those who believe it to be racist are in fact the ones being racist.

if its racist...im ghandi

[catdd]

I'd like to see GWB on one side of a series of pictures and Bama on the other and watch them both morph into the same joker in the middle.

Bush is the Joker.

what's racist about not saying Obama is black? Or using Joker, socialist as themes?

Indeed. The racists are the ones who try to find a racial issue with everything and anything. For the art itself, I'm not exactly sure of the message beyond the fact that Obama is a criminal. Ironically not all too funny, but interesting. Any abuse of Obama's character is fine in my book. Almost any.

According to some Obama supporters, it seems like every criticism of Obama has racist undertones.

[Kords21]

I thought this was pretty funny before I saw the Ojoker now I think it's even more hilarious.

yeah, but we're not obama supporters here, so I guess whoever said it didnt mean it?

That makes A LOT more sense. Make one for Bush as well.

The Joker is awesome. Butchering one of my favorite characters. This whole thing of socialism stamped on the Joker doesn't make much sense. He's an anarchist. Not for blind obedience to the state. Of course the Joker kills people so I guess that portion fits. Socialism kills too. But the imagery sucks. Leave it with Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Marx, etc.
