Vis-a-vis the Obama/Joker poster, an LA Weekly guy has this to say:
To be honest, though, I do believe the poster appeals to people who see in it a validation of their own racial prejudices, even if they can't acknowledge them. That my short post hit such a deep, raw nerve clearly shows that race was very much part of the illustration's attraction.
Got it. If one were to draw a Telly Tubby, and I were to call that person a child molestor, his angry reaction to my charge would prove beyond all doubt that he is a child molestor.
Reading minds is just so easy.
