Guess why so many "Obama Joker posters" have been showing up everywhere.

No motive has been formally determined, but Jensen noted a contest posted on Infowars.com that called on people to download a version of the poster to be hung in "public spaces" in their neighborhood.

"We're the only ones who have seemed to have gotten it, though," Jensen said, referring to participation in the contest. "It was a nationwide event from what I understand."

As of late Friday, at least 406 comments were posted on a Web site featuring the contest sponsored by Alex Jones, who hosts a syndicated talk show on the Genesis Communication Network. Details of the contest launched late last week show a top prize of a $1,000 for the person who can demonstrate the best application of the posters around his or her hometown.

"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," the blog post announcing the contest reads.

"In order to awaken the people about Obama's agenda, Alex is organizing a contest centered around the "Obama as Joker" poster that has Democrats and Obamanoids going ballistic."

Jones urged participants to post a video of their "poster offensive" on YouTube and the site includes a download of the poster for people to copy and use. The contest was slated to end Friday. Other prizes offered were cash winnings of $500, $200 and an original Alex Jones "Obama as Hitler" artwork.

Attempts to reach Jones late Friday were unsuccessful.

1. So now they have him in whiteface drag?

How clever.

3. I can't even tell you the racism I have just encountered on youtube. We are in a super

charged cycle of ugly racist bitterness and hate, right now.

7. It's becoming a drag to be an American.

People overseas probably think most Americans are ignorant, knuckle-dragging, hateful, hyper-religious thugs and fools. I'm inclined to agree!

At what point will America be so filled with these awful people that it is no longer worth defending or feeling proud of? I thought I would stop feeling ashamed of my country when Obama came in, but if anything it's worse now. Our citizens are increasingly semi-human trash.

Idiots at town halls. Idiots on conservative TV and radio. Idiots texting on their cell phones while speeding in their SUVs. They're everywhere!

If I'd known in the 60s that America the Beautiful would turn into such horrible crap so soon I would have moved to Canada. Are other countries turning out this same way? Or is it really just us?

8. id say that just about eveywhere in the world has enclaves with similar problems

since everything nowadays goes global at the touch of a button, also if you didnt have all the info available at your fingertips and just looked around you as we used to, then for a majority of people things are no so bad as it looks when you take every case throughout the country.

9. The thing is it's using a pop culture reference of a chaotic destroyer under the racism.

It's not racist even in my eyes but that's my eyes...it's just stupid.

Some of the rubes may not even be racist who use it. There's no denying that some of them are and just found a cute little way around the direct.

I find it even funnier that they don't even know what the fuck 'socialism' is.

2. bit of marketing genius in a lot of ways, not sure who came up with it

but its clever like the old pic of bush made up of the soldiers pictures..

4. Shepard Fairey did it with the Hope poster

but he didn't have to have a cash prize incentive to do so.

5. yep that was the other one o was thinking of, i love to see the stuff that genius comes up with

as i have no artistic talent whatsoever..

6. Alex Jones is a moran

Not at all surprised he has the GOP Obama haters licking out of his hand.
