http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/5973064/Barack-Obama-Joker-socialism-poster-denounced-as-racist.html
The poster shows the US president with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick above the caption "socialism", in an apparent attack on the US president's efforts to reform health care and stimulus spending.
But the best part is this....
The liberal tabloid "LA Weekly", which depicted George W. Bush, the former president, as Dracula on its cover in 2004, denounced the Obama-Joker poster as virulently racist.
"It has a bit of everything to appeal to the drunk tank of California conservatism: Obama is in white face, his mouth (like Ledger's Joker's) has been grotesquely slit wide open and the word 'Socialism' appears below his face," wrote its blogger Steven Mikulan. "The only thing missing is a noose."
Looks like more of the "Same" to me....

How many monkey jokes were made about Bush?
How well do you think it would go over if someone did freeze frames of Obama that made him look like a chimp?
Just because someone has a permanent tan does not mean every bad thing said about them is racist. I fucking hate how stupid members of our media are getting.

monkey about a black person hits way too many chords.
Call him Urkel. Theres a ton of shit to use.
I know while I would feel totally comfortable saying a lot of things about Obama to friends and co workers of mine that are black.. no way in hell would I call him a monkey. Like everything else.. its context.
And ffs.. don't mass email borderline racist jokes, especially if you work for the GOP...

I'm just not too sure how it's racist to have a picture of Obama made up like the Joker. It would be different if the picture portrayed him made up to look like "Sambo" or the "Tar Baby" from Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox.
Personally, I'd be more upset at the "Socialism" jab, rather than the face paint, if I were a Democrat....

I'm inclined to agree, how does a dipiction of him looking like Heath Ledger make it racist?

Because Heath Ledger played a homo in broke back mountain, so in turn if Obama is to be portrayed as Heath or Joker?.....inquiring minds want to know?!!!
