The Obama-as-Joker poster, which has appeared on utility poles in Los Angeles and throughout the Internet, has enraged Democrats and bloggers, some of whom have blasted it as racist. And anything that peeves these folks has to be gold for Limbaugh, right?

So during his Tuesday broadcast, Limbaugh declared there's nothing racist about the poster. But he went further, comparing Ledger's Joker, one of the most evil villains in movie history, to the current president of the United States. Yes, he did. Nothing implied, nothing insinuated. Here's what the King of the Dittoheads said:

  • YOU KNOW WHAT WHITE BLACK WHATEVER PEOPLE ALLWAYS SAYING OBAMA AINT DOING sh*t! HE'S ONLY BEEN PRESIDNT FOR EIGHT MONTHS DAMN! HOW SOON YOU WANT HIM TO CLEAN UP BUSH'S f*ck UP. IT TOOK BUSH EIGHT YEARS TOO f*ck UP DUMMIES AND IF OBAMA IS THE JOKER WHAT IS BUSH STUPID ASS???
  • I think this is a great pic of obama, tells it like it is.....he sucks!!!! Black people voted for him just because hes black!
  • Rush Limbaugh exercises Freedom of Hate Speech! He divides the country for his personal gain. He should be removed from the airwaves.
  • I didn't know anyone listened to Rush LimBoring fat a$$ anymore, his old BS rhetoric shouldn't bother any of us here. He's a walking heart attack and when it blows he'll be deflated and God won't care if he was a Democrat or Republican.
  • Nah, I'm black and it's not necessarily racist. It is however blatantly disrespectful. You can't compare what someone does to Obama to what someone does to Bush. When Obama proves to totally f*ck this country up, and in the ripple effect, this world up, then he opens himself up for a diss. Ever since he's been in office republicans have had a dick up their ass and act like their kids...actually, it's their kids that have more respect for a new way of doing things and change. They're not even giving the man an honest chance!
  • Jesus Christ People wake up how is this racist? He calls the man the damn Joker, think for a moment how is that racist? O ok I think I know what Rush is getting at what he meant is that Barack was like the Joker in that scene where he burned all the money and said "Gotham needs a better type of criminal, you are only in it for the money". Secondly, when Vanity Fair Magazine put out a picture comparing Bush to the joker that was ok that justifiable because after all bush was the reincarnation of hitler of course. However as black people we have a hard time geting pass our noses and instead of first blurting out racist at every chance you get because someone criticizes Obama especially if its a write critic we should stop to think about the what they said. By the way if someone would like to see the Vanity fair picture here it is http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2008/07/bush-as-joker.html
  • For Gods Sake people think this is in no way racist, why is it everytime a white person either makes a joke (no pun intended) or says anything abou Obama its "racist". And why can someone please tell me, why did noone get angry or pissed off when vanity fair published a drawing that an artist made showing Bush as the Joker? This damn double stamdard get over it for Gods sake. It was ok to bash Bush, call him Hitler, a Nazi, or anything else but anytime someone says anything about the "Holy Obama" its wrong grow up or shut up.
  • There is nothing racist about it, don't be ignorant. A person can be a full of sh*t joker and a bad guy no matter what color he/she may be.
    • Man PRESIDENT OBAMA should lock his ass up for that!! Hell he da president he can do wat da hell he feel f*ck checks and balances
  • That is very disrespectful.
  • rush limbaugh is an entertainer, thats it the more controversy he stirs up the more money and publicity he gets,thats it. its obvious he is what he is
  • I think more people need to see this as a "complimant". Because althought the joker did great things terrible but great he had a great message.... never do anyhing cuz the outcome is money do something passionate for the pride and self confidence not for another dolla in your pocket. I guess most people dont pay atention to the meanings behind movies.The most hassent criminal yes but the one with the best "mental mind" set to get the results he wanted. OBAMA trust still alive with me
  • Rush is an entertainer; point blank,period. His job is to fire people up & create controversy just like Bill O'Reilly. He seems to be excelling.
    • I concur and we are the butt of his jokes. I don't know why we don't all learn that the more you feed into negative energy the higher it rises, the same goes for positive energy. Why waste the energy, just pray and ignore so that networks stations can learn a valuable lesson in teaching life skills.
  • do we call this an art????

  • This is dangerous and real because if we think about this objectively instead of getting upset and screaming racism, we would be able to see and understand that outside of color this man, our president has done absolutely nothing even remotely horrible enough for anyone to be able to depict him like this. Let's think about it, what has he done to deserve this, and let's be fair he may have done somethings that some may not agree with and that's understandable we all have opinions, but this? It is what is, Rush Limbaugh is a definite open enemy. Rush Limbaughs' reason for doing this is probably about as justified as a person wanting to take the life of another for pronouning their name wrong, outrageous.
  • I feel like this poster is very racist. The paint on the face, ecspecially knowing his father is from Kenya and his mother is white, says a whole lot.
