That would be hypocritical, and we all know hopey-changey-ists can’t be hypocritical, now can they?
The manufactured Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind “outrage” at the Obama-as-Joker graphic that’s gone viral (check how many folks are using it as their avatar on Facebook!) is strange, given the eight years’ outpouring of anti-Bush graphics, ranging from Bush-as Chimp through Bush-as-Hitler all the way to Bush-as-vampire, included a Vanity Fair depiction of Bush as the Joker.
Hmmm, could it be that, despite deep pockets pushing the images and Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind investment in them, the fact that the depictions of Bush-as Chimp, Bush-as-Hitler, Bush-as-vampire and Bush as the Joker did NOT go viral, did NOT strike a real chord in the hearts and minds of millions of common Americans, do you think that may play a part in the manufactured Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind “outrage” at the depiction of Obama-as-Joker?
Or could it be that those who wrongly see themselves as the elite (when they’re little more than mindless hacks and drones) really are too stupid and wrong-headed and basically unfair as to think that sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander?
Good stuff Maynard!
@Woody: *heh*
I’d say it’s a combination of both.
