When cryptic posters portraying President Obama as the Joker from “Batman” began popping up around Los Angeles and other cities, the question many asked was, Who is behind the image? Nope, it turns out, just a 20-year-old college student from Chicago.

Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe’s Photoshop software.

But he wasn’t who printed the pictures and posted them all over LA.

[…] still-anonymous rogue famously found his image, digitally removed the references to Time Magazine, captioned the picture with the word “socialism” and hung printed copies around L.A., making headlines.

    “Is it still racist now that it turns out to be a liberal Palestinian who made it?”

    Nope, it is racism ONLY (and always) when a WHITE person do it (thanks to political correctness conceived by liberal american scum, aka “democrats”)

    What “raghead”?!
    He doesn’t wear it on any pictures. Apparently you’re just an imbecile and he is more “white” than you are (if you are white at all).

    #4, Change Now:
    “This guy is a total asshole…he has insulted the very man who might turn the US into a country a Palestinian might feel comfortable living in without fear.”
    Typical liberal scumbag’s thinking: worrying more about foreigners than their own people. Why the f*ck do you even care about how any foreigners may feel living in your own country?! Another liberal scum’s fucked-up twisted way of thinking LOL

    “I think we need to look into his immigration status and find out what his professors and fellow students think about this hate-crime. He has no place in a society of tolerance.”

    Riiight… NOT! 😀
    It is still (partially) FREE country and nobody *must* love anyone they don’t feel like.
    If he don’t like – or even hate – our current President, he is FREE to do so.
    So typical for all liberal scumbags: either someone is with them or against them, as always… because Liberalism = Totalitarism (just a nudge lower than fascist or communist versions of totalitarism).

    “I always try to vote my conscious. I don’t like Obama. I’m thrilled we did not elect McCain. I think Palin is a religious airhead, and Biden is a simpleton. I think Hillary is a conniving bitch and Pelosi is just plain wicked. I think Congress is not doing it’s job of representing the people and that Sonia probably isn’t the brightest bulb on the tree but isn’t going to subvert the Supremes. If there are any pols you think I should have mentioned, rest assured, I probably think ill of them, too.”

    Well said.
    I don’t like Obama either, I think he is a liar and his “change” means “lets *change* this country into corpocracy” (which it already is). He says one thing, does complete opposite. Typical lying son of a bitch politician.

    The only “change” Obama is making is that now *his* corrupted politicians are reaping the citizens out of whatever is left in this country, while in previous 8 years America was raped by corrupted pigs mostly associated with republicans, that’s the only difference, the only “change” LOL LOL LOL

    —I hope his visa gets revoked, and he has to go home! Let’s see him get away with that type of stunt in his own homeland. He has some nerve, not even being a citizen, and criticizing our leader.—-

    He IS a citizen, which wasn’t hard to check…but, hey, he insulted Dear Leader, so let’s imprison and deport him anyway.

    Conveniently all those Bush-era laws (that were so bad you elected Obama to get rid of them) are still humming along just fine…Gitmo’s still open, we’re still able to arrest without charge, still sending people to secret prisons overseas. Hope and change, don’t you know!

    I had to laugh! I hope the irony was intentional. If not, tsk, tsk, tsk.

    Actually, I thought the original picture was interesting and amusing. I must admit, I still haven’t seen the movie. I suppose it’s possible the Joker was just so evil in it that the poster is a HUGE insult, but it didn’t strike me as such. In fact, I regarded it as art. I didn’t much care for the political use made of it by the folks in L.A. and elsewhere (including on this blog), but it’s a free country. (Which some of the commenters here seem to have forgotten.)
