Snopes discredits Palin photo circulating on web
Snopes ^

Posted on 09/03/2008 5:39:45 PM PDT by Lorianne

Currently this photo is circulating on the internet under headings like: Palin machine gun-toting whacko, etc. (note: the gun is a BB gun)

But Snopes took no time at all to identify it as a Photoshopped fake.

I don’t know. My standards are pretty low.

Go to the link in post #13. Once you are on the Snopes page, you may have to hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the refresh button in your browser, as the unhappy face was probably cached.

Having lived in Seattle area for 14 years after my retirement from the Army, knowing those communist and socialist pukes there, I would not doubt much of it. I have met and known MANY there exactly like her, with her type of attitude and up bringing. Thus, I tend to believe it is probably close too, if not all, correct. Seattle, like all leftist cities in this country, are pure socialist, homosexuals, communist and HATE America, religion, the military, and want America destroyed.

LOL ... or this picture of the VP candidate in a bikini floating around the internet? Some people say it's 'shopped, but I'm not so sure. 8-P

The face on the bikini picture is a mirror image of this one. I know someone on MySpace that is passing the bikini picture around. I proved to him that it was photoshopped even though all his other liberal friends continue to rally around him and "rah-rah". He agreed with me, however he isn't admitting it to them. Go figure.

Funny, I had posted the same picture you have in post #36. Last night the pic came up here at FR with the girl in the bikini and gun. This morning the pic is a green funny face. Something screwy at snopes.

The one in #36 came from “Flickr”.

I believe Snopes disallows outside linking of images from their site. If you right-click (control-click on Mac) the green smiley image and open the pic in a new window, it opens as the faked Palin pic.
