I really find this offensive.

Someone has this as their Facebook profile pic:

It's creepy, IMO. It has nothing to do with my political stance- I just think it's a macabre image.  Very unsettling.

Thoughts?

  • Clown faces are super scary.

  • I think it is just a clown face.  Not offensive.  I get tired of people putting their politics on facebook in a negative way.  I am all for people supporting their candidates, but the insults to other candidates or elected officals are just a waste of time.
  • It's incredibly offensive and ignorant. ?Not as ignorant as pictures of Obama as Hitler (seen those, too), but very offensive nonetheless. ?I can't believe people are defending it. ?
  • Is it supposed to be Obama as the joker??

    If so, that's not all that offensive.  Hitler, yes, that's offensive.  The joker --- eh, whatev.

  • They have done the Joker face with George Bush and Hillary Clinton as well. No big deal.
  • I have heard that alot of people are offended due to the fact that he is protrayed as caucasian.  But others are just saying that it's a clown, it's not a black/white issue.

    This. I don't find this stuff offensive because basically they all get some of this. Is it right? No.?

    I haven't seen those. And even though I am 100% NOT a GWB fan, I would still find the same image of him offensive. I know it's just the Joker, but it's just so gruesome looking...they look like death. 

  • I'm not sure it's offensive-but disrespectful and in poor taste definitely. I guess the good thing about our country is that you have the right to do that.

  • I'm not saying it's not freaky looking - it is. I just don't find it offensive.

    Word.  It's the joker which is not as bad as Hitler, however, it's been done before to past pres.  It could be worse.

  • I do not find it offensive...creepy, definitely, but it doesn't offend me.
  • Not any worse than they've done to past political leaders in the US.  Not offensive to me.
