The Washington Post Stretches, and Stretches, to Conclude that the Obama Joker Poster Is Racist
I don't really care much for this whole situation with the posters, but I had to share the pathetic desperation of the Washington Post to somehow link the posters to racism. I can't remember seeing a more insincere way to connect two points. What an embarrassment.
Similar thoughts over at Hot Air:
It’s a parlor game for progressive nerds: Take any conservative attack on Obama, assume racism, and then connect as many dots as you need to in order to get from point A to point B. Here it’s Obama = Joker; Joker = terrorizes city; terrorizing cities = stereotype of blacks; ergo, Obama = stereotype of blacks. It’s like “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” but with political benefits. And as always with these things, the ease and almost eagerness with which the author perceives the nastiest racial stereotypes is unsettling.
