I'm The Face
The man who created the Obama/Joker mashup ("socialist" was added later) has been discovered. He's a 20-year-old college student named Firas Alkhateeb. Interesting tidbits:
1) He's from Chicago.
2) He's a fan of Dennis Kucinich
3) Displaying a sense of irony similar to Shepard Fairey's, he says "To accuse [Obama] of being a socialist is really ... immature."

Clearly a crazed, racist right-winger.
His mock up is not the issue and nobody would care if nothing further happened- its the "rogue " (LAT word) that took the photo and appended the commentary thats "behind" it not this guy. And he might be a crazed racist anonymous rightwinger
Really? As we've seen earlier on this blog, the white-face part of the poster is what has made some call it racist. And comparing him to the violent, criminal, urban Joker has also made some call it racist. The only thing no one's called racist is calling him socialist.
