Hey, Freepers: I don't know who PhotoShopped that fake "2nd photo" of Kerry and Fonda at the antiwar rally, but you should know that you came within AN EYELASH of causing a huge embarassment.
Thank goodness Raoul made a phone call, so Kristinn just got a call from somebody who is a longtime press friend of FR who was about to go nationwide with the "2nd photo" story. You've got no idea how close this was to being a train wreck.
I am told NewsMax actually got suckered on this.
The same veterans who had circulated the original Fonda-Kerry photo apparently got hold of the PhotoShop fake and didn't know it was a joke. So when these veterans contacted the press Thursday morning claiming to have a second photo -- man! A lot of valuable time was wasted as reporters contacted Associated Press trying to verify the existence of this fake photo.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful with this kind of stuff.

Ditto. But before anyone goes off running with something like this it should be checked out. There is no need to fake documents or photos. We are not like that. Freepers are honest and have character. We're working for the betterment of things...and stooping to this level for gain is never right.

The fake pic showed Kerry on stage with Fonda. It was on Newsmax earlier today but it's gone now. What a shame, and Newsmax is such a reputable source who does all their own investigating and original stories.

What about the one when you see Fonda in the field and you see Kerry's face in the back? If you are referring to the one I described in my post 18, yes, as far as anyone knows, that one is real. It comes from a website which has archives of photos.

There is a black/white picture with Fonda looking like she is talking to Vietnamese commie reporters, and you see a Kerry face. I think that is fake too.

Soon, photographic evidence of anything will become worthless. And after that, video.And then real people...when clones become available.

So, um, does anyone have a link or can post a copy of this picture on this thread?
You know, so we'll know which one it really is?
This is almost as bad as starting an Ann Coulter thread and not including a pic, as specifically required by FR rules.
