The Obama-Joker poster has gone viral and is popping up all over the U.S.A, partially due to a $1000 competition run by InfoWars.Com, and partly because of anti-socialists. And probably because the image is a meme, and it carries strong memetic (propagating) qualities, much like a catchy tune that you can't get out of your head, even though you don't necessarily like it.
The point made on the CNN-clip below is a valid one: the Joker-character from Batman: The Dark Knight on which this poster is based is an anarchist, which probably contradicts Obama’s supposed socialist goals. Personally I don’t think America is really heading for Socialism (just yet). Instead, I’m convinced it is heading for Fascism (the merging of state and corporate powers), if it isn’t a fledgling little Fascist state already.
