"The Terrorists have won the toss and have elected to receive!" B-52 photo: Who created this?
BIN-LADEN WINS COIN TOSS!! ELECTS TO RECIEVE!! [Free Republic] ^ | 09/27/2001 | Bob McCown, RaceBannon, ASA Vet, archy, and various others via e-mail

Posted on 09/29/2001 5:01:51 PM PDT by RonDog

Have you seen THIS photograph? Do you know WHO created it??

posted by ASA Vet on 9/28/2001

On Friday, September 28, nationally syndicated conservative talk host Hugh Hewitt described this photo on his radio show, citing FreeRepublic as his source, and giving credit to the post by ASA Vet in particular.

Since then, Hugh's webmistress, Lynne (the WebXena) has reported HUNDREDS of requests for a link to this photo, and has posted a link to a DIFFERENT FR THREAD, with an image posted by FReeper archy, on www.HughHewitt.com.

An earlier thread with this image was started by RaceBannon on 9/27/2001 at 12:30:59 PDT.

1 - Is there an EARLIER post of this image anywhere on Free Republic?

2 - Does anyone know who "Bob McCown" is?
(MOST images posted seem to have the name "Bob McCown" printed in the lower right-hand corner.)

3 - Who is the REAL creator of this masterpiece? (And, can you PROVE it?)

Thank you.

When I was a B-52 mech I had a t-shirt with a graphic of a bomber unloading over some soon-to-be-toast target.
The caption read,
"Reach out and touch someone".

The (PC) base commander banned it from being worn on the base.

Sure wish I still had that shirt.

It might be hard but not impossible. We re-started production of the U-2, which became the TR-1. Screw the challenges, let's start production of the B-52!!!

Morning Glory, SMEDLEYBUTLER!

That will be my NEXT post:
"Help time-shifting Hugh Hewitt replace his "Morning Glory!" ["Afternoon Delight" is out; "MOLON LABE?"]

Stay tuned. Perhaps tomorrow.

OK, that was un. Now, back to the basics:

1 - Is there an EARLIER post of this image anywhere on Free Republic?

2 - Does anyone know who "Bob McCown" is?
(MOST images posted seem to have the name "Bob McCown" printed in the lower right-hand corner.)

3 - Who is the REAL creator of this masterpiece? (And, can you PROVE it?)

That was such a beautiful picture I had to go read the verse. Deuteronomy 7:17-24 is perfect for these times.

Thanks again to TrueBeliever9 for providing the image!

You can also read the verse in context (online) HERE - in any translation that you prefer! Kewl, eh?

THANK YOU, GVgirl! Now, we are getting somewhere!

From the PREPARING TO RESPOND page of Jeff's EXTRAORDINARY "Attack on America" website, there is a small "BEFORE" version of that photograph, without the words added.
(Tripod does not allow me to post a link to it from here.)

Now, where did the ORIGINAL photo come from, and WHO added the words?

I found this on www'larslarson.com. You might try e-mailing him, he stated on his show that it was sent to him, he may be lead you to he originator.

Excellent! www.larslarson.com DOES have a link to a Photos page, with THIS image.
Note that he has the earlier one, with "receive" spelled wrong!

(And, there is still no attribution beyond "Bob McCowan.")

Regarding the B52 photo.

I received it via E-mail from an ex-ASA friend at 3:41 PM (EDT) on 9/26/01.
The original had the word "receive" spelled incorrectly.
I posted the image to FR with the incorrect spelling but corrected it,
once the error was brought to my attention.

The original sent to me, had no URL so I uploaded it to an Image file
on my wifes website to creat a URL to reference on the FR post.

I'll e-mail my friend to see if he can determine who sent it to him.
Bottom line is, I did not creat it, and I have no idea who did,
nor do I know Bob McCown

That may be enough. There is a "Bob McCown" who does "Prime Time Sports" in Toronto! THIS could be the guy!
From www.fan590.com/Fan590/personalities_mccown_b.html:


Born in Columbus, Ohio.
Has had a colorful sports broadcasting career ranging from being
the 1st public address announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays in their inaugural season in 1977
to the current host of Prime Time Sports.
Was the original host of Global Television's "Sportsline".

Don't think Registered did this one...he puts his name on his creations and would not have misspelled "receive," seen in one version.
