Posters of President Obama made up as Heath Ledger's Joker with "socialism" written below have been showing up around Los Angeles and it's being greeted with outrage-y outrage from the typically outraged.
Some are calling it racist, others are calling it "dangerous"; I'm calling it: "Steve" — which is Greg for "boring."

FOX News host Glenn Beck dialed up his rhetoric against President Obama Tuesday, branding the president a "racist" in an appearance on the morning show "Fox and Friends."
 
Beck charged that the president's handling of the controversy over the arrest of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. displayed a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
 
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem," Beck said. "This guy is, I believe, a racist."

President Barack Obama has been busy attempting to sell his government takeover of the health care citizen.  In doing so, he contines to be, shall we say, a bit lax with the facts. Philip Klein has pointed to the president's, er, "mistakes." Other publications are picking up the trail.

By Dan Eggen A group of veteran conservative activists have added their voices to the fight against President Obama's health-care reform efforts, writing in a memo released today that Democratic plans will "bankrupt the country and exacerbate unemployment during these difficult times."
 
The brief, single-page memo is the latest in a series of talking-points documents to emerge as part of the GOP's intensifying attacks on proposed reforms to the health-care system, which many conservatives have begun referring to derisively as "Obamacare."
