That's right. They replaced all of their high-res, image files with lo-res image files that are 90% smaller than their originals.
BUT, they have the gall to leave their original file sizes listed on their links. So, like instead of getting a 2 MB image file, you now get a 200K image file.
In FactCheck's original story, posted, August 21, they made specific references to a few of my discoveries I made about the COLB forgery in an attempt to dismiss them out of hand:
Among the most frequent objections we saw on forums, blogs and e-mails are:
* No creases from folding are evident in the scanned version.
* In the zoomed-in view, there's a strange halo around the letters.
And, they devoted an entire paragraph to dissing my most important finding:
The scan released by the campaign shows halos around the black text, making it look (to some) as though the text might have been pasted on top of an image of security paper. But the document itself has no such halos, nor do the close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the image produced by the campaign is a digital artifact from the scanning process.
As everyone who has read my report should know by now that the pixel anomalies, that they call "haloes," are absolutely not scanner artifacts.
Well, on Thursday, the first part of my report made the front page of PHil Berg's website, ObamaCrimes.com, with my promise to show how the forgery was made, and to throughly debunk the FactCheck photos in Part Two.
Last night, I got a call from his legal assistant telling me that FactCheck had done this switch. I thought that she was talking about the thumbnails of the images, and not the downloadable ones.
Then, I saw it for myself -- and you should, too.
Anyone else think they're running scared???
Huh
Everyone calls me the noobie troll, but I’m the only one who knows how to use the profile.
Here ya go

I’m busy reading...
Why did you change from “I’m a pundit too” to The new pundit?
The name of my site is “I’m a Pundit Too”, but the location is thenewpundit.com
Site is down at the moment though, bluehost is doing maintenance.
OK - I’l look for your site to come up.
But in looking though the threads that you’ve sponsored or started, I don’t see much in the way of original thought or follow through.
So I guess the jury’s still out.......
“So I guess the jury’s still out.......”
Sometimes it depends on the intelligence of the jury
Well,
The jury of google search is not particulary complimentary so, I’m still waiting to sample your prose.
At the very least, I think you have to admit that your ego has gotten a little ahead of your following.
In my experience, the freepers can put up with a lot of varied opinions. but what doesn’t seem to cut it here - as opposed to other sites - is egotistical ranting. Not to say that’s strictly your nature but I would suggest you not set yourself up as a target for ridicule. Just my opinion.

In my experience, I only act that way when people decide to ridicule me from the onset instead of actually debating the issue. You see, I only found this thread because the author sent me a link after I argued with him in other threads. In those threads, not one person made a logical argument against me, they simply insulted, called me a liberal, and a few traitors to this country had the nerve to question my service in the Marine Corps.
I didn’t just jump in this thread and started acting the fool.
I hear ya.
Let’s drop it.
The topic was really the validation of BO to seek the position. Like I said before, alot of good people have worked on this and - as far as I know - no legitimate authority has disputed the fraudulent representation of a critical document put forth by the Obama campaign. I may be wrong.
The posts you’ve made indicate your concern with valid topics. I don’t perceive that you’re necessarily a liberal and frankly, don’t care if you are. And I applaud your service such as it may be.
We are not the enemy here.
This particular topic - that of BO’s eligibility - is critical.
In my opinion:
You have here a situation where a shallow fraud has been elevated to potentially POTUS status. His supporters are blatant Marxists and terrorists. He’s funded by dirty dollars and willing socialists - soros, hayden - and self serving pawns - pelosi, reid, dean et al. His core beliefs are tainted - wright, alinsky, frank. And his background is virtually unknown - schooling, friends/associates, annenberg, chicago politics, rezko, Freddie & Fannie, and BIRTH RECORDS. He has been responsible for NO substantial legislation at either the state or federal level. His only defining votes are megapro abortion, ademantly anti-gun, and comprehensive socialist indoctrination via community organization, bribed youth corps, and unfunded universal health care. His presence in the public is less one of substance than it is celebrity hype, fund raising, and voter registration based on ACORN, hope/change/more hope/and more change. He denies the competency of the military and can’t even offer an opinion on workings of the stock/financial markets. His troops slander the opposition party individuals relentlessly.
Now, all that aside, his apparent inability to prove eligibilty to the office is quite important. (I cring here) I would rather Hillary run/win the office than Obama knowing what (I think) I know. She at least meets the minimum requirements for the position.
So use your talents to fight for what’s right - that is truth. Use your site to promote same. Ya just don’t have to be so darn uppity/in-your-face about it.
Polarik rocks!
BTTT!!!
>>>...[He].. ended up sounding like John Kerry in a debate.
I wonder if he spent Christmas in Cambodia too.
By the way, with all the free laudatory press FactCheck.org is getting, I would think that they would add server bandwidth and disk space, not attempt to reduce it.
Why are you fighting for a non-American as President?
Disagreeing with you and a few stooges in here doesn’t make me a troll.
***I notice you don’t bother commenting on the provocateur accusation. Maybe it’s you who needs to learn to read. You’re just a Clymer. For the benefit of newbies and lurkers, Clymer was the reporter that Bush was talking about on an open mic & told Cheney, “He’s an incredible A$$#0|e”.
I have seen other posts by you. To use your own words, “You need to learn to read and stop acting like such a pathetic bitch. “
In your absolute brilliance, it won’t be too difficult to understand it, especially since you wrote it.
Okay...are you Obama..or Hillary?
According to the link provided, it does look like you invited this troll. Perhaps that was some kind of mistake? I read through the thread that he started and there’s nothing of substance. What did you find so valuable?
But then you proceed to say in post #47..."I didn’t just jump in this thread and started acting the fool".
IMO.....your absolute first action on this thread was "acting the fool".
fwiw-
Nice post........
OK, so Annenberg is the owner of factcheck.org and not Obama.
Any conflict of interest there?
A little humility goes a long way toward gaining respect.
Egotism works fine for some, as long as it’s a schtick. (Rush Limbaugh comes to mind.) But you can find a knowledgeable expert on probably any subject here. Try it for yourself- post something you’re not too sure about, and watch what happens. FR is the ultimate vetting resource, be it people or facts.
No matter how impressed you are with yourself, or sure of your talents, you’re still a n00b with that recent membership date. Sorry, that’s just the way it is. Do yourself a favor, don’t worry so much about letting everyone know what a genius you are, and your skills will be self evident over time. Otherwise, you’ll just open yourself up to ridicule.
