VIDEO: MAN ARRESTED FOR POSTING OBAMA JOKER POSTERS

Folks, welcome to the slippery slope. If you post a poster of Obama as the Joker (like the one below), you might be arrested if you do it in Houston. I don't know what Houston law is but this definitely seems a bit extreme.

Perhaps you're only allowed to post Obama posters approved by the NEA in Houston?

OBAMA JOKER POSTER: THE JOKE IS ON THE LEFT

The man behind the poster of Obama behind a mask of The Joker has been identified. Once again, however, the left is finding itself in quite the conundrum. Why? Well, Firas Alkhateeb is a Palestinian-American who supports far left liberal Dennis Kucinich.

Back on August 6th, the WASHINGTON POST floated the notion that the Obama The Joker Poster was the product of a racist artist who was playing on the dormant and unspoken fears of white America, which had to be the reason why he remained anonymous:

So why the anonymity? Perhaps because the poster is ultimately a racially charged image. By using the "urban" makeup of the Heath Ledger Joker, instead of the urbane makeup of the Jack Nicholson character, the poster connects Obama to something many of his detractors fear but can't openly discuss. He is black and he is identified with the inner city, a source of political instability in the 1960s and '70s, and a lingering bogeyman in political consciousness despite falling crime rates.

Really? So does that mean that a supporter of the far left Dennis Kucinich is a racist Palestinian-American? The left continues to entangle itself in its own ridiculous premises which is causing them to come back with even more obtuse arguments.

Here's more on THE ARTIST.

Hey Rachel, Keith, and Chris, we're waiting with bated breath for you to report on this one.

VIDEO: OBAMA JOKER POSTERS AT THE POST OFFICE?

Linked by Drudge, this story carries more than just a touch of irony. A small town in Central Florida (Clermont) had to deal with Obama-as-the-Joker posters affixed to Post Office property, including mailboxes.

I personally have a problem with defacing the property, regardless of what's used to do it. That's over the top in my view and shouldn't be tolerated.

Separate from that, however, the poster resonates with people in an extremely eery way. There are striking similarities between Obama and the Joker in last year's film, "The Dark Knight" just as there are similarities between George W. Bush and Batman in the movie. Couple that with the fact that there is much about Obama's past we know nothing about, which is an allegory for a mask, thus giving the image added relevance.

Obama's gaffe at the town hall yesterday about the Post Office having problems while UPS and FedEx are just fine was not lost on this story. However, these posters showed up at the Clermont Post Office prior to Obama's comments at the Town Hall unless they did it in broad daylight. If correct, it's even more ironic in its foreshadowing of the gaffe.

THOU DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH?

The Obama administration is finding it more and more difficult to use silence as a strategy. When you're in politics, it's often the best and most often used tactic. For some reason, they're having difficulty with implementation.

As always, when those who practice silence in the face of criticism can't do so, it's because a nerve has been struck.

What NERVE!
