But it's a dry cold
If I claimed every attack on Stephen Harper was an attack on all uptight white guys who read too much I would sound pretty stupid. Hence I refrain from making such a claim.*
Activists gathered outside a downtown strip club Monday to denounce as racist a banner depicting President Obama as the Joker from Batman.
"Not only is it an attack on the president, but also on all men and people of African descent," King Salim Khalfani, president of the Virginia NAACP, said of what he called "the abomination that's on the wall" outside Club Velvet.
The banner, unfurled within the past few days, depicts Obama as Heath Ledger's grotesque Joker character from "The Dark Knight." The president is shown with smeared red lipstick, a white face and darkened eyes. The word "socialism" is spelled out below the caricature.

* Unless an HRC is ready to award me damages as a result of such a claim in which case, Game On.
