According to MSNBC, LA Weekly, the SF Chronicle and the Washington Post, the mystery artist who created the sensational Obama Joker image was a racist hood-wearing Darth Cheney-like Klansman. How about a young liberal Palestinian-American Kucinich fan?
I'm sure you're all aware now of the unmasking of the infamous Obama Joker poster artist. But before we get back to Faris Alkhateeb, the liberal Dennis Kucinich-admiring twenty-year-old Palestinian-American history major now attending the University of Illinois in the President's own backyard, and who created that sensational image out of pure boredom and mischief, let us take a walk down Memory Lane and address the Lefty Myths and Urbane Legends.
Speaking of mischief, first up we have mythmaker Steve Mikulan of the LA Weekly, who saw Republicans "in the throes of political orgasms" and ropes below the makeup: "The only thing missing is a noose." No, Steve. The only thing missing is a keffiyeh. Curious. Will this revelation of the Palestinian aspect of Mr. Alkhateeb's identity have liberal Lefty ObamaBots rethinking the dreaded "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims" axiom? Perhaps even consider cutting off stimulus spending for Hamas and Gaza?
Don't laugh. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Liberal Lefty Scorned. But I DO believe Mr. Mikulan, who also went on at length and off the rails with his follow-up "It's All About Race" owes both Cheney and the Klan an apology. It wasn't all about race after all. God only knows what secret Death Star hideaway Mr. Mikulan can find Darth Cheney in. But I do believe the Klan is well represented in Congress by Sen. Robert C. Byrd. Perhaps Mr. Mikulan can start his Apology Tour there.
Next up, Mr. Philip Kennicot of the Washington Post, from whom Bad Whitey emanations regarding the sinister Obama Joker artist flowed like wine all the way to MSNBC from his "Racial Fear's Ugly Face" oped:
The new Obama poster has two basic thrusts. Obama is a socialist, or a crypto-socialist. And Obama is somehow like the Joker, unpredictable and dangerous. But joining these two messages together yields more questions and contradictions than good poster art can sustain.
Curiously, Mr. Kennicott saw a Bush Joker poster drawn by Drew Friedman not only as sustainable art, but "a view of Bush popular among his detractors, that the former president was unpredictable and fast on the draw when it came to geopolitics." Could not one argue that President Obama is being fast on the draw when it comes to Socialism? The rest of Mr. Kennicot's lengthy essay on stoking racial fear in politics is quite a read, knowing what we know now about the Obama Joker artist's true multicultural identity.
If you throw in the San Francisco Chronicle's Rich Lieberman and his racial slamming of the Obama Joker artist (along with the usual Lefty equivocations for similar Bush art), I'd say they got this whole Closet KKK Boogeyman Propagandist Thing about as wrong as they could get it. In fact, given the startling revelations, hasn't the Obama Joker poster been a veritable psychological Rorschach Test for Lefty yellow journalists? A projection onto the mystery artist of their own unreasonable and deep-seated prejudices and biases toward hated white conservatives? And make no mistake, they ARE deep-seated. In fact, they're endemic.
Need reminding? Tea Partiers aren't protesting the President's spending policies. They're redneck racist teabaggers who hate Obama because he's black. Nothing political about it, right? Pure racism. In fact, that same sentiment was just voiced by the now-debunked Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding ObamaCare town hall protesters in ABC's "White Hate Groups Thrive." Are there ANY Obama protesters who are not racist, and whom Chris Matthews would not like to inject with sodium pentothal to find out the truth he believes? Isn't that torture? Or is that okay to do with Whiteys who protest Obama?
Fact is, even innocent white police officers who are racial profiling experts are not immune from Lefty racial profiling. So now that LibDem Lefties have been proven gravely wrong on yet another round of stereotyping white conservatives as inherently racist, can we finally put this ideological dead horse in its grave?
Ya, as if! What would Keith Olbermann, Jeremiah Wright, Skippy Gates and Al Sharpton do for a living then? Aren't we losing enough jobs as it is? I dunno. I'm seeing plenty of space on the unemployment line for those Jokers, and all the other Lefty media racial profilers here who so quickly jumped on the Big Bad Whitey Bandwagon with this poster imbroglio. They made yet another racial mountain of a totally harmless molehill, from matters as simple and totally non-racial as street poster art, Tea Party and ObamaCare protesters, and even the answering of a simple 911 call. Stoke even more racial fires where none exist.
Can't we all just get along and agree to disagree politically without it becoming a race war all the time? Not holding my breath on that one. There's more at stake here for the Lefty media than just the truth. Didn't you know? Should by now. As a curious aside, Mr. Alkhateeb took umbrage with comments by Shephard Fairey, the creator of the famed Obama HOPE poster, who said he "had doubts about the intelligence of the Obama Joker artist" and other derogatory remarks. Mr. Alkhateeb really didn't have to say anything. All he had to do was point to the hypocrisy of the Bush vampire poster Mr. Fairey created that made the cover of, you guessed it, the highly offended and race-implicating LA Weekly. Funny how that works, huh?
These Lefty race mongers keep getting caught in lie after lie after lie. Why would anyone believe them?
