Who is editing the CT now? Fact check please. Moore has nothing to do with the creation of this image. It was created by two parties; one person who created the image as an experiment following along with a Photoshop tutorial on how to joker-ize a portrait. The second came across the image via Google searches and attached the word socialism for use in political rallies relative to health care reform town hall meetings.
Moore claims he has posted the image on his building to express his belief that President Obama should be seriously considered by Batman film director Christopher Nolan, as a replacement for the departed Heath Ledger.
It cannot as a result of this incident, be proven that Moore is a racist or bigot (by the way, the two are mutually exclusive) but it can be proven that Moore is a controversialist interested in promoting himself and his club, whatever the context: Unless of course you buy into the idea that he seriously hung the banner to raise awareness to his belief Obama has missed a calling in the dramatic arts.

Racist or bigot? How about PATRIOT?
And FWIW, I interpret the Joker image not as a direct comparison to the Batman character. Rather, its an expression of Obama being something much different than what he and you guys in the media sold to the voting public last year. Big government on steroids is not what most Americans thought they were voting for.
