Obama isn’t actually a socialist—but I understand what you’re going for there. I understand hyperbole. But why the Joker? The Joker isn’t a socialist either. He’s a nihilist—which is about as far from a socialist as you can get.

My guess would be some combination of “joke” + plus destruction, though I don’t think much thought went into it beyond evil+recognizable

A student from Chicago thought it would look cool, That’s it, nothing more. It wasn’t even made by a “tea bagger”.

I believe the correlation is the Joker’s nihilistic destruction of order and the presumed wilful destruction of the Republic by Mr. Obama.
