Back in 2008, when election fever was spiking, the street artist Shepard Fairey created his famous and controversial image of Barack Obama.**********
Now a conservative graffiti artist – who knew? – has apparently been papering the greater Los Angeles area with images of Barack Obama dressed up as Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Each image appears above a single, block-lettered word: “Socialism.”
UPDATE: The Leftosphere trots out the KKK
And while we're talking about double standards, I notice that L.A. Weekly blog which looked at the the Obama Joker poster and declared it so obviously racist that "the only thing missing is a noose" didn't seem to have a problem with an actual, as opposed to feverishly imagined, depiction of lynching Sarah Palin.The "race card"... yeah, I'm shocked.
