My first thought when seeing the poster for the first time was that it portrayed Obama as being dishonest about his socialist agenda.  Race never even entered my mind.  I guess I am not sophisticated enough.

Thank you.

So shouldn't the Post attack the homophobia rather than seeing racism where it isn't?  The Left needs to get its grievances straight!  Ha ha.

Obama has shared contempt with rural people, bible lovers and people that carry guns. 

Obama is half white and is NOT half Negroe.  Where is the error in showing the skin color of Stanley Obama?

It's odd that this guy writes so much about Heath ledger's joker character but never gets the spirit of the character correct. The main behavior of the character is betrayal. The joker stages a bank robbery and then kills off all his accomplices, mainly by shooting them in the back. He then goes onto betray all the mobsters who supported him. He then talks Harvey Dent into betraying his beliefs, which ends up being his undoing.

Maybe the intent of the poster is not racial, but meant to show folks that anyone who buys into Obama's lies is apt to be betrayed by him.

Obama debunks birther and vampire conspiracy.

Obviously hasn't read the government takeover of healthcare bill and the racism contained within.

The government run healthcare Cliffnotes: Abort the unborn, kill the old, save money, give money to Democrat constituency.

The whole nut of the government run healthcare is the Nazi eugenics plan.

    They are going nuts over this because the artist is as yet unknown.  I hope whoever it is will be able to withstand whatever this Whitehouse and the mad dog left will try to do to him/her when their identity is finally discovered.  In the world of obama and the democrats free speech actually means 'correct' speech.

Obama is identified with the "inner city"? Is that Honolulu or Harvard?

And what does this idiot mean "Nicholson's makeup was urbane, Ledger's was urban"? There have been some truly asinine takes written on this lately, but this one wins the prize for sheer fecklessness, IMO.

The shame of this story is that the liberal media doesn't want to know who the artist is because the artist doesn't fit the narrative of an angry racist right-winger huddled in his redoubt with his guns and bible. In all likelihood the artist is a muslim engineering student living in Chicago named Firas Khateeb. An amateur photographer and photoshopper, he created the image because he was disappointed that the Bamster is not more radical than he hoped. He's hiding in plain sight.

Add a surgeon's cap and a stethoscope.

"So why the anonymity? Perhaps because the poster is ultimately a racially charged image."

Or perhaps it could be because the artist believes the moonies on the left would try and have him charged with hate speech?

If I was that guy that's what I'd sure as hell be scared of.

Why choose the lesser of two evils?

Why are the liberals still caught up in pre-civil rights era identity politics rhetoric? I don't freakin' care if obama's black. I care that he's destroying the country. 

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

What I take out of this is that Mr. Kennicott seems to be writing a satire on liberal chic pseudo intellectual art critics. It's all pretentious gobbledygook that boils down to the most unimaginative interpretation of the meaning of the poster as possible. If Kennicott was an artist, instead of an "art critic", his column would have been a paint-by-numbers picture.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

The last paragraph in the WaPo article is:

“Obama, like the Joker and like the racial stereotype of the black man, carries within him an unknowable, volatile and dangerous marker of urban violence, which could erupt at any time. The charge of socialism is secondary to the basic message that Obama can't be trusted, not because he is a politician, but because he's black."

No, WaPo, Obama cannot be trusted because he is a post-modern fascist who simply does not know what truth is.  So far as he is concerned he says whatever he want so as to manipulate people to do whatever he wants.  That is what truth is for him.

Of course, WaPo has been employing their own version of the same kind of post-modern “truth” for years, so naturally WaPo cannot see where the problem is, or what it is. 
Come to think of it, WaPo cannot be trusted either (see tag line).

- Relying upon the State Run Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler to manage your portfolio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know - anything critical of the Great and Powerful O is racist.
