is a 20 year old college student who is LW & Arab-American... For all the folks who fell for Gates' racism narrative, I suspect they also fell for the assumption that the Joker image is also racism... To so many, facts do NOT matter, only narrative does... That is a dangerous thing to do regardless of which side you are on...
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/08/obama-joker-artist.html >>> Flickr had removed the Joker image due to copyright-infringement concerns, >>> Alkhateeb says the company told him in an e-mail. A Flickr spokeswoman >>> declined to comment due to a company policy that bars discussing inquiries >>> about individual users. Alkhateeb says he wasn't actively trying to cover his tracks, but he did want to lay low. He initially had concerns about ... ... connecting his name with anything critical of the president -- especially living in Chicago, where people are "very, very liberal," he said. "After Obama was elected, you had all of these people who basically saw him as the second coming of Christ," Alkhateeb said. "From my perspective, there wasn't much substance to him." "I abstained from voting in November," he wrote in an e-mail. "Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state." If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
