Posters depicting President Obama as "The Joker" from the most recent Batman movie have started showing up on the streets of Los Angeles and Atlanta. Earl Ofari Hutchinson of something called the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable says that the posters go beyond "political spoofery" and are "mean-spirited and dangerous".
"Dangerous"! Really?
Interestingly, when Vanity Fair ran a similar depiction of then-President Bush last July, Mr. Hutchinson was nowhere to be heard from. As a matter of fact, it appears from the online comments to the Vanity Fair piece that several liberals thought the illustration was quite clever.
Of course, now Bush is out and Obama is in - and I guess our collective sense of outrage has been altered. - 620 WTMJ
