That Wet Flapping Sound You Hear In The Distance

…is the air going out of the left’s balloon.

Not bad work, for a Palestinian guy from Chicago.
From the comments“Politicians, and especially you “professional” journalists out there take note of how quickly this image went viral – forget why, for a moment, if that is possible for you intellectual giants in the print news industry – and think how. And you clowns still think you control public opinion?”

  1. This fellow will be fine once he emerges from a few learning moment in one of “THE ONES” re-education camps or a visit from O’s union buddies.

  2. The dude’s last comment: “Who said socialists were evil?”
    Well, I’ll say it. True socialists anyhow – EVIL. Scary evil. Mega villan type evil. The worst kind of evil.

  3. So, bleet – what do you like so far about Obummer’s six months as TOTUS? He has been found out! More and more people are saying “OMG I thought this guy was actually bright – that not only could he speak brilliantly but could also deliver! Ever have a lover like that?
    Turns out that when the teleprompter turns off – he hammers and stammers much like Ralph Cramdon of the Honeymooners did when he finds out that he was wrong.

  4. I think if one places their ear up close to a sheep, and listens closely while a socialist has his way with it, you will hear “bleet”.

  5. Wasn’t the LA TIME’s & every lefty on the planet calling this poster racist? Funny how they didn’t pose that question to the artist in the interview?…I wonder why?

  6. The guy who created the picture is far-left and supported Kucinich in the primaries.
    And this is supposed to be mortifying for the left…how?
    Bring back the treat-refusing dog, Khate!
    That’ll show’em!

  7. “bleet” some more little sheep.
    Just pay attention or a wolf might come and bite you in the ass while you think you are being so clever.

  8. Funny, I don’t associate the picture with The Joker.
    More like a cannibal, or someone out of Apocalypse Now.
    Guess that’s racism showing its nappy head….

  9. I think the picture of Obama is disrespectful, derogatory, and in very poor taste. And I’m a card holding Conservative. Imagine what the left thinks of you! And you wonder why people vote Liberal! It’s this kind of behavior that keeps us in the minority section!

  11. Joe
    An almost identical piece that ran in the New Yorker a year ago depicting Bush as the Joker was hailed as art.
    The irony here on so many levels obviously escapes your synapses and as such I will resist the inclination to insult your artistic sensibilities.
    You may want to dummy up though.

  13. The thing I find interesting about this article is that it was just a kid following a photoshop tutorial with no real agenda, and countless people are still being overly critical of him because he defaced “The One” …

  14. GOOD Picture & factual
    The Socialist’s attack on US Medicare, which has been deducted as payroll taxes (Federal Insurance Contributions Act.) FICA since 1966, is not going to be tolerated. The Socialists have been using the Payroll SS/Medicare fund to pay for every social program they can’t pass in Congress…. It’s become the equivalent of “United Way” for social programs.
    The SS/Medicare funding has been stolen from those that paid. Disability, illegal aliens, Child Medicaid all find money in the SS/Medicare fund. The existing benefits paid out to legitimate recipients have been reduces by at least an order of magnitude (10X)
    The savings mythologies presently employed for Medicare are blatantly discriminatory. They simply reduce the payments to doctors & hospitals to 76% of billing. This results in unavailable access (not open to new patients) for the elderly to the best clinics. The Medicare patients are second class (its like traveling by flying Standby) for health services.
    The old folks are scheduling BUS tours to reconnoiter the home of the snake (enemy). Black Rock, 30 Rock, and the Meadowlands are leading destinations….We are not some dumb ME twits that think the MSM are friendly

  15. How racist for him to be up on stage performing in “whiteface”!
    It doesn’t matter that his entire campaign is one big minstrel show.

  16. The wet flapping sounds you’re hearing are the dying gasps of conservatism. That of the pompous rightoid windbags desperately clutching and grabbing anything that remotely disparges the left as they descend into the deep dark dank bottomless pit.
    Or maybe it Malkin’s lips vibrating in that constant hot air emanating from her mouth.
    Anyways, the doodlings of a bored college student makes for interesting discussion when your misguided bias is all you’ve got.

  17. From the L.A. Times: “You really want to think twice about going after a political commenter,” said Corynne McSherry, a senior staff attorney at the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that defends digital rights).
    Well, you’d think so. But that didn’t stop W*rm*n and the CHRC cabal, did it?
    bleet: “The guy who created the picture is far-left and supported Kucinich in the primaries.
    And this is supposed to be mortifying for the left…how?”
    It exposes the left as the (reverse) racists they are: Here is Firas Alkhateeb, a dark-skinned Palestinian (not a fair-haired, blue-eyed Republican) criticizing the Great O, and we don’t hear the hue and cry being raised which there would have been had a fair-skinned dude done the Photoshopping. I’m not hearing “off with his head,” are you? He’s actually being praised for his artistic flair.
    If this ObamaJoker had been photoshopped by someone on the right, the usual suspects would pile on and say, yeah, figures; what a racist. When someone on the left critizes the Obamessiah using such a dark image, the message seems to be, nothing to see here folks — hey, the artist has talent — move along.
    It’s clear, however, that all is not well in Demo-La-La-Land when a leftie can see so clearly what kind of guy is occupying the White House.

  18. Not stirred enough. Please have fun at your poly sci 101 class. What you classify as “conservatism” is far from dead. You are however, correct on one point.The pompous gas bags bloviating on the left and there are plenty, take your pick. Reid, Pelosi, Clinton, or please, please bring back idiot Joe Biden. All jabbering the same sort of message. The population is becoming more and more disturbed with it each and everyday on there own. You don’t get it? Or any of the commentators on MSLSD, CNN, NBC,ABC,CBS. Try the forehead, Paul Begala if you want to throw up. Hopefully all are indeed descending into the bottomless pit. The poster of the “Big Empty” is far more accurate that perhaps you care too admit.

  19. Hey bleet google bushjoker. I guess you and your ilk think that’s OK because it isn’t “THE ONE” Pull your head out of your a$$ ya hypocrite clown.

  20. I think a key problem with the Obama administration, apart from its rabid socialist ideology, is the lack of leadership at the Executive and senior Administrative level.
    Obama is not a leader; he’s a salesman. Of himself. That’s all he can do, and all he must do. He requires the adulation and accolades of an adoring audience. Daily and constantly. He needs to feel that he controls others.
    He’s not interested in the infrastructure of the American economy, health care, national security – nothing.
    Senior administration have a different agenda; the socialization of America.
    This means that there’s a gap in the governing of the country. Who is making the policies? Obama is quite happy to hand over this task to Pelosi, Reid and others. But he’s not happy with dissent and rejection.
    How long can his Administration keep Obama as the Salesman, keep him feeling adored, prevent his anger at dissent – and, get their socialist policies through?

  21. ET – you nailed it. I really thought Obama had a keen intellectual capacity and the potential to be a unifier. Unfortunately he is a leftist who was raised by conservative mid-westerners and who knows what to say to appease conservatives all the while promoting a leftist agenda. Can’t even stand to hear him speak anymore.

  22. 1talkinghead,
    I have to agree with several of your points; there’s no shortage of pompous windbags on the left and maybe my knowledge is at the polysci 101 level.
    The left, however, knows how to laugh at itself and allows criticism of its prominent celebrties. Witness the joker flap, its only rightoids that are serious about this.
    The right on the other hand is far too serious and too full of its own self importance. Both character flaws which keep it from rising or reaching its full potential.
    Personally I would like to make the move to the right of the bench but can’t relate to attitude.

  23. Debt and deficit are the top concerns of Americans and will remain so for the next few decades. Their patience with leaders who want to talk about and act on anything else is running out.
    The politician(s) who starts to focus on it and start providing answers as to how the country can get out of the mess will get a very large audience. If it is simply a ‘increase taxes’ meme they will be cast aside. If it is a ‘cut spending, reform the tax code and drastically reduce regulation’ meme then they will get support from almost every political corner.
    Obama looks to be talking himself into lame duck status by Christmas.

  24. “That of the pompous rightoid windbags desperately clutching and grabbing anything that remotely disparges the left as they descend into the deep dark dank bottomless pit.”
    Not Stirred Enough
    That is Sooooooooo ironic coming from a leftard like you, Stirfry.
    Because, that’s all the leftosphere do day in and day out, is dig up some dirt to fling at the right. Remember Sarah Palin.
    Ironic is that the MSM did a lot of digging to find who was behind the picture only to be dissapointed it was’nt some southern white hick.
    Too bad they did’nt do any digging on vetting their black Jesus otherwise he might not be so increasingly embarrassing for them to protect as he would unlikely be POTUS today.
    Like Zach Lahn (The new right wing hero for this week who zapped Obama with a REAL question last Saturday) said to Wolf Blitzer of CNN who tried to portray Lahn as an angry Conservative by exposing his political affiliation:
    “I don’t see how my political position reduces the validity of my question…I wish the media would of done some more research on Obama instead”
    (Not in those words but that was what Lahn was voicing IMO)
    I which I could find the Blitzer interview, the only ones out there I can find are the ones from FOX and MSNBC…Google the MSNBC one; Lahn really takes on the hostess.

  25. NSE, Bleet, etc.
    Are you retarded? Seriously.
    It was the left who flew into a rage about the obama joker thing – not the right. They screeched about how racist it was and blamed the poster on evil white racist conservatives. Now that the real “artist” has been found out to be a minority, Palestinian (presumably muslim) far-lefty, you are still blaming… us.
    Did you miss the left’s Bush/Joker? Did you miss that scummy photographer’s photoshoot where she took advantage of Cheney and then photoshoped the pic to make him look like some kind of demonic creature with blood dripping out of his mouth?
    So I ask again, are you retarded? Did you not get the point of this thread? Or are you just illiterate?
    I keep saying we need a higher calibre of troll around here. The lot we have are lame.

  26. It’s surprising that the Left are appalled by this picture and call it racist, etc. However, put a crucifix in urine or a statue of the Virgin Mary in feces they call it art. Perhaps, our Leftist brothers and sisters can’t differentiate between the two. By the way, I’m not saying the pic of Obama is art. I prefer stuff by Robert Bateman.

  27. “This means that there’s a gap in the governing of the country. Who is making the policies? Obama is quite happy to hand over this task to Pelosi, Reid and others. But he’s not happy with dissent and rejection.”
    ET
    Obama’s narcissism might be his biggest weakness afterall. As he’s loosing the health care debate and thus his personal popularity plummeting, it was funny to hear CNN say that the Prez will only be concentrating on Afghanistan and Iraq today. The only area of his administration that has the support of a majority of Conservatives as he basically did not deviate from the Bush WH on this.
    He needs an adulation recharge.
    “Obama looks to be talking himself into lame duck status by Christmas.”
    Gord Tulk
    Maybe his socialised medecine “quacks” like a duck?

  28. From Todays Rasmmusen Reports
    The Rasmussen Reports daily presidential tracking poll for Tuesday shows that 31% of the nations voters strongly approve of the way Barack Obama is performing his role as President.
    Forty Percent(40%)strongly disapprove giving Obama a Presidential approval index rating of -9

  29. Rasmussen Reports Aug.18/09
    if you look at the trend report Since june 30/09 Obama has shown negative #’s, with his lowest being -12 July30. Prior to that he was showing a consistent Plus with his highest being +30 on Jan.22/09 (inauguration day was Jan.20/09)

  30. “Forty Percent(40%)strongly disapprove giving Obama a Presidential approval index rating of -9”
    bryanr
    -9…The only thing Barry seems good at is creating deficits…even for himself!
    What a waste of a billion $’s that last US election was.
    The consolation for this bad dream is watching the MSM unravelling over their protege’s self destruction. Barry’s election was needed only to expose how the MSM are just whores of the lefty persuasion to the masses who rely on them for their “news”.

  31. I think the picture of Obama is disrespectful, derogatory, and in very poor taste. And I’m a card holding Conservative. Imagine what the left thinks of you! And you wonder why people vote Liberal! It’s this kind of behavior that keeps us in the minority section!
    ~Joe Citizen

    Is this a joke?
    I know what the Left thinks of people.
    I don’t wonder why people vote Liberal, they do it because the Liberals rob Peter to pay Paul and Paul can therefore be counted on to vote Liberal.
    What keeps Conservatism in the “minority” section is that conservfative majority status depends on people to vote for their own individual right to keep the fruits of their labour while the socialist voter is voting to take the fruits of other people’s labour to stay ahead.
    I think the key to majority status would be to remove collective bargaining from public sector unions, who are basically bargaining from a monopoly position.
    Disrespectful, derogatory, and in very poor taste?
    Are we talking about a politician here or some sort of religious or royal figure?

  32. The left cracked up when Kennedy was killed by Oswald, a left-communist: one of their own.
    The left cannot change; the left is a jail; the left is always the left.
    …-
    “Even Jacqueline Kennedy privately expressed regret that he had been killed “by a communist.” “Far better, she said, if, like Lincoln, he had been martyred …
    books.google.ca/books?isbn=1586486748…”

  33. Mazz,
    JFK was martyred. He was a stanch anti-communist. Probably the next-to-last anti-communist democrat after LBJ.
    He screwed up everything he did but at least he was on the right side of the cold war.

  34. The meaning of peace is the absence of socialism.
    That constant whining sound … gimme, gimme, gimme.

  35. Joe Citizen’s analysis is nonsense.
    IF creating and publicizing a picture of a politician, meant to mock and belittle that politician, results in the political party that did it, moving into minority status, THEN
    How does this assumption of Joe Citizen support the fact that the left Democrats made many belittling and insulting pictures of Bush and Cheney – and moved into majority status???
    Oh, and this current Obama Joker picture was made, not by a political party, but by an individual of the ‘left’ alignment. So?

  36. Thos picture is only wast the time and energy and your mind you do better to argue with your opponeet in thier view and say your opionion.
    ==
    Do consider that as may our Freinds Arabs may not agree with me
    but Arabs are racism and not like Blak peopel too
    some Arab in Africa who are Arabs may call them like some Egyption in total Arab are not talk with black easy
    as yesterday I saw pciture of flag of Isreal in back of that guy president of African country who was charged for corrption I was wonder why or when they interview him why flag of Isrel was hand in back of that guy I forgot his name
    Joker is used for black with lip stick in once a year for joke them in party or ceromony
    and in Middle easer in past old party
    ==========
    As all immagination brought all picture of Obama
    ONLY because he is black I prefer peopel focus to talk his opion or what they agree not his face or colour because it weakned peopel in argument and not good strategy in politc anybody made fun of some one from race or gender or relgion when there is important issue to tlak on table or political debate is around
    this picture making is childish not mature not human right discuse me and that is not right I do not like it for any black person in my mind to made fun of them for their colour
    while west try to link iwth joker in batman who spread money to people not what Paltinina think they had differnet view of black with lipstick
    like lipstick in pig used for sarah polin only to attach her for her women hood
    all thing seems not right and not gain anything out of it must stop and focus to main issues

  37. funny thought came to me while reading the posts. I realize it’s a bit of a Canadianism but with Biden seemingly out of the headlines (at least the stuff I read) here goes anyway…
    Biden, the next Joe who.

  38. At present rate, I predict that in the not-too-distant future it will become trendy to be called a ‘racist’.
    Currently the word is morphing into a completely new meaning. It will mean a freedom loving individual who is not easily duped by charlatans like Barrack Hussein Obama and his gang.
    Because it is those people who are continually being called racist. I don’t know any conservative who wants black folks back on the back of the bus, but they do want an end to the black Marxist in the white house who is working tirelessly to enslave us in a tyrannical system of complete government control. And not because he is black, but because he is an elitist Marxist thug from America’s leading thug City.
    Chicago, Chicago, not my kinda town.
    So … racists unite! … you have nothing to lose but your freedoms.
    Racist: adj. (old meaning) one who hates those of different race. (new meaning since Obama presidency) one who hates Marxism, socialism, communism, wealth redistribution, government monopolies, huge deficits, unarmed civilian populations, phony climate change cap ‘n trade, open borders, Islamic jihad and everything that the evil children of the left hold dear.
