So Where Was This Guy When Bush Was President
Aug 4, 2009 Political
A picture of Barack Obama with make up from the Joker character in the movie The Dark Knight has been popping up all over Los Angeles. The picture features Barack Obama with the white makeup, blackened eyes and red lipstick ala the Joker in the fashion portrayed by Heath Ledger. The photos have been appearing all over town and some folks are a might bit upset by that.
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable (whatever that is) President Earl Hutchinson was not very happy with the pictures and he wants the person displaying them to make himself known.
“Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery,” says Hutchinson, “it is mean-spirited and dangerous.”
I have never heard of this jackass Hutchinson before so he must not have taken a stance on the portrayals of George W Bush over the last 8 years. Where was Hutchinson and his concern for mean spirited acts that are dangerous when George Bush was portrayed as the Joker, the very same incarnation of the Joker, in Vanity Fair Magazine?
Vanity Fair’s version was seen by people all over the country but Hutchinson, as far as I am aware, never discussed how mean spirited and dangerous it was for a magazine to depict Bush as the Joker. Of course Bush never had the Socialist label applied to him but he was called a Nazi plenty of times and I still never heard Hutchinson talk about how dangerous this was.
Now that the Democrats have a messiah in the White House we are supposed to bow down and kiss his feet and things done are mean spirited and dangerous. The very same morons who were calling Bush every name in the book defend Obama at every turn and decry the same kinds of attacks they engaged in for 8 years. It is as if they have had their brains sucked dry of any memory of how they acted. They acted like deranged morons for 8 years and now they are upset with any behavior that attacks the sainted one?
I don’t think that the picture of Obama is mean spirited or dangerous. It certainly is not as dangerous as Obama is because the picture can’t destroy the country.
I have to agree that it was not right to depict Obama as the Joker.
A clown would have been more appropriate.
