The Wack List: Aug. 6
Posted by Carlton Hargro on Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Five people, places and things we really ain't digging today.
• Whoever doesn't think that the poster of Obama (above) circulating around the Web is racist. It might be a riff on the Joker, but it's also obviously meant to be a reverse "blackface."
• Dudes who assault sex workers from Craigslist.
• Politicians who choose not to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice because she's supposedly a racist or an "activist judge." Her judicial record suggests she's a moderate if anything.
• The fact that blood in N.C. is drying up.
• The sick nut who's stalking Miley Cyrus.

The race card has been flipped soooo many times that its now just a joke. You don't get it. Obama is the joker set on destroying the system. Some men just like to watch the world burn.

The right got upset about the Bush Joker poster. The left gets upset about the Obama poster. Which side will abolish the income tax or cut government? Neither...*yawn*
Maybe Sotomayor will be better on some parts of the Bill of Rights than the neocon justices Roberts and Alito, such as civil liberties. Roberts is terrible on property rights, unless its big govt against private property owners.
Saw this on lewrockwell.com "The Joker makeup is a representation of “reverse-blackface”, which in turn proves that the anonymous creator of the poster wishes subconsciously that Obama were a white man. As you know, white people are never socialists, and never abuse government power, so by putting white make-up on a black man, the poster shows that a nefarious black man lurks under the more harmless visage of a white man, the Joker (who just happens to be a homicidal maniac). -- Hahaha! Now thats funny!
