Hey pepperhead, can you link to the original source of that photo? I'm interested in reading more about it.

The original source is me and photoshop.

This reminds me of Bob Dornan being challenged by Jesse Jackson on whether Dornan actually went to a King march until a photo was found of the 3 of them together.

Interesting. I thought that bat attacking the back of her head was photoshopped as well. I guess that part actually happened.

At issue are the eyewitness accounts of the June 29th NAACP march; two corroborating eyewitnesses. It’s possible both are wrong, but ordinarily that’s considered strong evidence. The 1978 interview has very weak support-only one second-hand source, 30 years after the event. Your gotcha is a few links short of a chain.

Can we just drop this whole story and move on to something important like maybe who’s the best man to protect us from terrorism and the democrats?

What a novel idea!

My take is that there are two key issues-- the war on terror and border security.

Duncan Hunter is great on both.

Fred is good on the war on terror and so-so on border security.

Mitt is about the same as Fred or possibly a bit behind in that my perception is that he wouldn't rank high on border security, but would probably do the right thing because it is popular.

Rudy and McCain are good on the war on terror but totally untrustworthy on border security.

Huckabee is as bad or worse than Rudy and McCain on border security and probably not as good in the war on terror.

People should be doing this analysis on every major issue and weighing them accordingly.

Well, in fairness, I've been paying enough attention to notice some odd things about that photo in #107.

What is wrong with it? It is fake but accurate. ;)

The source for 148 is .” the Instructional Media Center Collection At Michigan State University Archives And Historical Collections: “Dr. Martin Luther King speaking to graduate student Laura L. Leichliter (center) and Michigan’s First Lady Mrs. Lenore Romney in February 1965.

I think the original newspaper reports is stronger evidence.

What's your point? I never claimed the Romneys weren't involved in the civil rights movement. I've only questioned Mitt's seemingly compulsive desire to embellish events, and what that reveals about his character.

Although I will say that I found your defense of #107 damn funny.

Do you have evidence that it is not? If so, cite it. If not, why is your assumption that it is not authentic any more trustworthy than my assumption that it is? If you have evidence that it is not authentic, offer it. Otherwise, can the innuendo. It only reveals your prejudice. When someone offers evidence the photo is a fake, I’ll change my assumption. But I won’t change it based on your assumption to the contrary.

Well, for one thing, I'm a graphic designer and that is as horribly obvious a "Photoshop" (which I use daily) as the phony smoke over Lebanon.

Even the most casual of photographers can recognize the difference in light on the subjects. See how it's the same on the Romneys, but different on MLK? Also, look at MLK's jacket, between the mics. Doesn't it look a bit "unnatural"? Yes, it does. It's because the picture fraudulent.

So, my experience in my profession is my source. You can call it "prejudice" all you want. I call it "reality".

All one has to do is look back through your posting history to realize your hallmark is name-calling and belittlement.

I call your candidate names and belittle him because the names are accurate and he has been falsely built up into something he is not.

In response, supporters of your candidate routinely post personal insults directed toward me and anyone else like me who sees Willard for what he is.
