Ace of Spades brought up a little history to remind everyone. What goes around, comes around. Liberal Media Screams Hysterically About Depiction of President as The Joker. Initially spotted by Tammy Bruce and displayed by Atlas Shrugs.
How come? The joker depiction is not new. It was used to portray George W. Bush: Comic-Book Villain? July 29, 2008. Compare and contrast.

Perplexingly, LA Weekly was unable to contain its racial opportunist thinking.
The only thing missing is a noose.
KTLA. Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson also appeared to not recall any previous joker applications of Bush.
“Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery,” says Hutchinson, “it is mean-spirited and dangerous.”
The Department of Double Standards tallies it all up quite succinctly.
