Here’s a touching scene, featuring Cindy Sheehan and the Reverend Al Sharpton, in front of crosses, looking solemn and sad.

Now let’s zoom out and see the media swarming around this manufactured event:

(Hat tip: Bill P.)

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:36:04 pm:

More pictures of this moving tableau at Getty Images. Co-starring “Army Mom.”

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:42:51 pm:

Several LGF readers point out the Jewish star at lower right of the second photograph. Somebody tell CODEPINK not to let the Nazis know.

(Note: the posted images are NOT from Getty, which does not allow re-posting of its material)

I sincerely hope nobody is actually surprised by this revolting scene.

[atomicpossum]

And Bill Clinton just found those stones on the beach, and made a little cross...

[Cobra64]

Pathetic creatures. All of them.

[the invisib1e hand]

I think it's beautiful!!!

[scott7278]

How Clintonesque.

[sionnsar]

I'm not "atomic" -- but good job!

[Theresawithanh]

Busted!

(Can't you just hear the circus music playing in the background?)

[apackof2]

No shame, none, zero, zip

[sionnsar]

The power of the right picture ping!

[scott7278]

And Bill Clinton just found those stones on the beach, and made a little cross...

How about when he saw the flag that was falling over at a soldier's gravesite, shook his head, straightened it, stepped back, and saluted. The media loved that.

[elfman2]

That's freak'n Wonderful!

Until now, I thought this was the best photo of that kind:

[Dallas59]

When is Al going to open his mouth????

[sit-rep]

I wonder what The good reverand has on his mind...

[pepperhead]

I sincerely hope nobody is actually surprised by this revolting scene.

It's all been one big show. The only thing that has been spontaneous at Camp Cindy is the gas coming out of their butts.

"How can I get some of that cash they been sending her".

[Baynative]

Ain't this sweet?

Media exposed - job well done!

[Bars4Bill]

The arrival of Sharpton means Sheehan is dead meat.

[sit-rep]

Ha! ya, or just plain...

"How can I get some of that cash!"

[Nasher]

(moveon.org PR person) "Hold the cross a little closer to your face. Now show me some real emotion...show me some tears. More tears, more tears! Bravo! Bravo!"

Geez...what an actress. This has to be at least the 3rd or 4th take with Cindy posing with the crosses.

After about say...hmmm, the first posing, any person of resonable intelligence can see that this has nothing to do with a mother's grief. It's all about Cindy playing up to the media with staged event after staged event.

Check out the second picture in this little vinette.

[kempo]

How smart is it to wear black cloths to an outdoor protest in Crawford,TX during the month of August? Let me guess. An IQ of 38 to 40?

[pipecorp]

study al... hmmm.. how can i get me some of this fine white meat?

[bray]

Guess which one will be on the Front Page of the Old York Times??? How Pathetic can Camp Soros Get??

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[sit-rep]

I honeslty don't doubt it.

[Baynative]

(CNN producer, woman on right)

"Let's put a little of that onion right here. It will help the tears."

[bubman]

were the hell did you get a pic like that????

It's priceless!!

[Proud_USA_Republican]

The MSM would never dare print the second picture.

Sheehan is their coverage gravy train. Exposing the truth would torpedo potential advertisers revenue.

[BallyBill]

The arrival of Sharpton means Sheehan is dead meat.

If Chucky Schumer shows up it could damn well kill the whole movement.

[King Prout]

it's fun when the MSM gets caught being the weasels they are...

the tragedy is that so few will see the wider shot.

[elfman2]

It was the feature photo on http://www.lucianne.com/ about four years ago

[goldylight]

bump to self

[Larry Lucido]

Oh, barf. They are almost as good in acting ability as the former fornicator-in-chief.

[Cecily]

The journos look so stupid in those athletic-style helmets.

[Mo1]

Is that picture for real??

[Montaignes Cat]

I have seen this photo and several others like it from the so-called coverage of the Palestinian Arab tantrum. Thanks for having it at the ready.

Tonight when I looked at it, when I looked at the photographers in their cool helmets, all I could think is that they are pornographers.

[DTogo]

If only Cindy was a little darker, Jesse Jackson would show up and play the race card.

[Mo1]

This may be harsh .. but it's true

She is a media whore

[bubman]

I tried to join but they seem to have cut off new membership.

thxs for the amazing pic.

[Mo1]

I've seem more pictures of Cindy crying at a fake grave, then I care to count

I wonder how many times she's actually been to her son's REAL grave?

[Socratic]

Now I understand that story posted on FR about the photographer who got into a tussle with Cind-bag's bodyguard about being among the crosses. It seems that on some occasions, one can actually take pictures among the crosses, but if one is exposing blatant fraud by the left, it is no longer OK.

[ChefKeith]

Daaaauuummm, that Texas BBQ sure do smell mighty good. Are we done here yet? I gots ta get me somma dat!

[yankeedame]

How Clintonesque.

My friend, you have just coined a new word: Clintonesque.

[eeriegeno]

I think it's beautiful!!!

And isn't Cindy Shanahan the the most beautiful creature that you have ever laid eyes on? sarc/off

[pipecorp]

you shouldn't be so hard on al.

[TheSpottedOwl]

A picture is worth 1000 words. In this case most of them would be swear words.

[Boazo]

[Soul Seeker]

ROFL!! Ya know, I just don't think their little Woodstock II is going quite like they planned. ;-)

We know our role right? Copy the site, the photo and hit send to all MSM and nuMedia sources. Some will report it, some will cover it up, but those that do the latter will at least know they've been busted.

[Lancey Howard]

Great post.
All that's missing is Bill Clinton wiping a tear from his eye.

[TheForceOfOne]

The formally MSM in a nutshell. Notice the smile on the guy in the white shirt, he's loving it.
