"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness"

Saturday Pix
Yay, unflattering pictures that prove Obama is evil!
Obama as Joker/Hitler, worshiped by Koreans. Makes sense.
I'm shocked Darth Maul hasn't showed up earlier.
Palin/whoever disagrees with Obama! Step 3 is profit!
Heh. 2016.
Tis is clearly from 2008. My favorite is the scary angry black men in the bottom lright corner.
What the hell is with the Joker thing? Freepers are cleaving to it like it means something.
I've been wondering about the Joker thing myself. Is it supposed to be some sort of insult? Maybe they're just trying to make him into any evil person they can.
I just did a Google search on "obama joker origin" and came up with this article from the LA Times. One sentence says:
At one extreme, the poster suggests that Obama is a psychopath who is completely out of control and running afoul of the law -- which he clearly is not.
The Freepers definitely see Obama as an out-of-control psychopath running afoul of the Constitution. That may be the best explanation out there.

Here's a Wikipedia article on the subject.
