Evil Clowns: Summer 2009
We live in strange times, it seems, with politicians viewed through the character of an evil clown who was played by a famed actor who died young. Take this summer of 2009. Look at the new posters called "unpleasant," "disturbing" and a "fake grassroots movement" by liberal bloggers, and pointed out by conservatives as some kind of "popular" commentary. The original image was apparently created by Firas Khateeb, a student living in Chicago. However, whoever adapted it as a poster and added the legend, "socialism," is still a mystery.

They are of President Obama as a version of Heath Ledger's Joker character in The Dark Knight , with a none-too-subtle "socialism" message attached to them. It gets to be very cryptopolitical and weird out there. [Update: See SMiles' " Alex Jones as The Joker ."] LA...
