Ironic Surrealism v3.0

Before the main attraction I’d first like to point out that Vanity Fair published a George W Bush Joker image in July 2008.

“No Joke”

Now the joke is on Obama. An Obama poster reminiscent of the late (RIP) Heath Ledger’s portrayal of “The Joker” has been seen all over L.A  –caption ’socialism’. Underground guerrilla warfare political art. Love it!

“Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It” – Saul Alinsky “Rules For Radicals”  Ask Barack ‘Alinsky Method Man’ Obama he cut his radical teeth on Alinsky’s teachings.

Major props to Radio host Tammy Bruce who brought this avant-garde masterpiece to our attention.

Political satire with a bite.

Obama ready for his close up. Smile Obama smile.

Now check out this over the top racism charge. For God’s sake. This intriguing street art is a racist act? When will the madness end?

No. This clearly appears to be a political statement (albeit a confused one) — a sort of negative version of artist Ron English’s Lincoln/Obama poster. But is it serious? We’d like to know who the artist is and whether this is the sort of provocative guerilla public art that is intended to encourage people to think (although about what, we’re not sure).

We suspect not. The Joker white-face imposed on Obama’s visage has a sort of malicious, racist, Jim Crow quailty to it that prompts us to ask, as Stepehen[sic] Colbert puts it, “vomit, come on up.”

Obama the untouchable. Of course Bush (on the cover of La Weekly) as a bloodthirsty vampire is a-ok. Hypocrisy thy name is the left.

Big Hollywood

The LA Weekly ”…only thing missing is the noose.”

Obama is a mere human, not a God to be worshiped. Get a grip!

Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.

Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves.

“Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery,” says Hutchinson, “it is mean-spirited and dangerous.”

“We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama.”

Dissent is not only patriotic (remember?) it is now viral! One upping the left…how sweet it is.

Obama the Joker nationwide — Atlanta sighting.

Barack Obama, laughingstock
Thomas Lifson

There will more of this. Count on it. Obama’s cool image is so 2008. It’s a long way down from lowering the oceans to laughingstock.

Obama is a joker, he’s a smoker, he’s a midnight cloaker. Who’s seen his season in the sun.

I interrupt the regular programming with a “teachable moment”

We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.” – Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev 1959

Update: Another winner!


Wired.com

A Dark Knight fan mashed two of this year’s most-copied visuals to create a cool Election Day image.
James Lillis subbed an image of Heath Ledger’s Joker into artist Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” poster for Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama. Lillis calls the resulting image “The Audacity of Joke.”

Update 2:
The original creator of the Obama Joker image may have surfaced (Or at the very least may of been the guerrilla artist’s inspiration)

"Not necessary indicative of my political views. But I do think hes not all he said he is. You can already sense he's backing off his claims of change."-khateeb88

On Jan 18 2009 someone who goes by the online nick of khateeb88 at Flickr uploaded the above photoshopped image of a Time magazine cover which initially featured a photo of Barack Obama, as you can see. This is NOT to say that khateeb88is the one who has been plastering the Obama Joker poster all over L.A.  Whom ever that is remains a mystery.

On a interesting side note,  “khateeb88″  is NO fan of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. He also repeats his disillusionment in Obama change.

“Rahm Emanuel = EPIC FAIL” Emanuel is a fervent anti-Islam voice in Washington. A Zionist, he takes a hard line stance against the Palestinian cause, and shows a clear anti-Muslim racism.

Besides that, he is the embodiment of “political partisanship” that Obama was supposedly going to change!

I guess we can only blame ourselves. He said “change” we just never bothered asking if he meant good change or bad. Looks like things are not going to get any better or different in Washington.

Change we shouldn’t have believed in.

Note: I am neither Democrat nor Republican, Conservative nor Liberal, didn’t support Obama or McCain.

I just call it like I see it.
