MySpace frowns on Obama Joker
p2pnet news view | P2P | Politics:- “Obama Joker $1000 Video Contest,” said the header on an InfoWars post on August 7, going on »»»
Get the posters in graphic image and PDF format here.
See the video entries here , here and here.
Alex will announce the winner of the contest this coming Friday. The contest has once again provided an example of people taking action and getting the word out.
Note: Obama Joker posters should be posted in public commons where other fliers, public announcements, handbills, etc., are posted. Please do not post on federal or private property as this will be considered vandalism and will be counterproductive and diminish the message of the Obama Joker poster.
Fair enough, eh?
Maybe not because the story goes on »»»
Read about the double standard in regard to posting Obama propaganda in public: Obama Posters On Government Property Allowed; Anti-Obama Posters Called ‘Vandalism’.
Enter Australian media dinosaur Rupert Murdoch, who thinks he’ s the sole owner of world news.
Infowars says Murdoch’s Myspace is, “removing the now iconic image of Obama as The Joker from users` pages and photo albums, citing it as ‘offensive’,” and quoting Myspace user xthemonsterx who stated »»»
I just attempted to post the Obama Fascism picture on myspace, as well as the image used in his campaign with the word hype instead of hope. I got sent back a message saying the pictures wouldn`t be posted because they were offensive.
And Myspace user Adam, “sent us details of how myspace had deleted some of his Obama Joker images, but not others,” says the story, going on:
“Two of Adam`s Joker images that were deleted carried the overtly political messages ‘Don`t think, be quiet’ and ‘Don`t drink tea, drink Kool Aid’.
“Yet, according to Adam, the same image of Obama as The Joker, with the apolitical message ‘Quit clowning around!!!!!’ was left untouched by Myspace.”
The messages suggest Myspace has, “deemed the ‘Jokerbama’ image adorned with political messages to be in some way dangerous, grouping it in the same category as ‘nude/sexually explicit/violence’ images,” says the story.
Now you know.

This is called attacking speech and freedom of expression by the government and big media.

Lets not forget flickr who removed it due to a “notice and take-down” per the US DMCA.
Seems sniffling free speech in the good ol’ US of A gaining momentum with the gov and industry via their DMCA.
How “un-american”.
Gitmo is next for those to speak out and think they have something like freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
You see this Griffin? Gitmo. That is the US of A.

only the government is bound by the rules of the 1st ammendment. Private corporations can do what they want and don’t have to display content. People are free to have their own publishing platform to display the content

Flickr Shuts Down Forum Discussion On Obama-Joker Image
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/21/flickr-shuts-down-forum-discussion-on-obama-joker-image/
Now Flickr has shut off further comments on that forum post, which was most definitely not headed in a pro-Flickr direction.

Deadboy you are wise beyond words.
You can’t sit around and expect freedom. You have to take it. In these cases, direct action is always preferable to letter writing.
I think this Obama=Socialism thing is untrue, and sensational, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have the right to say it.
