How do you know that ones not the fake?

FWIW...Bennett is Romney's Arizona co-chair. Wouldn't surprise me if he got a call from the campaign that insisted he back out of the mess he created or resign.

I have been studying this photo, along with its various incarnations, on and off for about a year, now.

I have discovered that every single Kenyan version I can find on the net has all of the camera data stripped out. This suggests to me that it was manipulated in a photoshop type of program.

However, on the flip-side of that coin, the Wilayat Madha version has all of the original camera data still embedded in it.

Here’s the camera data from the image I posted:

---

- Primary Image
Image Description = OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Manufacturer = OLYMPUS OPTICAL CO.,LTD
Model = C100,D370
Orientation = The 0th row is at the visual top of the image and the 0th column is at the visual left-hand side
Y Resolution = 72
Resolution Unit = Inches
Software = v971u-76
Last Modification Time = 0000:00:00 00:00:00
YCbCr Positioning = Co-sited
- Exif Specific
Exposure Time = 1/800 sec [0.001]
F Number = 4
Exposure Program = Normal program
ISO Speed Ratings = 100
[...]
Exposure Bias Value = 0
Max. Aperture Value = 40/10
Metering mode = Pattern
Light Source = Unknown
Flash = Flash did not fire
Focal Length = 5.60 mm
[...]

To summarize my findings, the embedded camera data adds weight to the veracity of the Wilayat Madha photo; Whereas, the lack of any embedded camera data at all in the Kenyan version points me in the direction of photo manipulation.

How do you KNOW? Good grief...I thought we conservatives were the smart ones. First of all...Kenya looks NOTHING like that. Second...they speak English and Swahili...and that ain't Swahili. Swahili hasn't been written in Arabic script in a very long time...

And frankly...while these signs are funny...they get passed around emails as facts (urban myths) then then undermine the entire debate. I get these all the time from family members...BHO did this or that...like he didn't salute at Arlington and here it is on video...but when you did you realize they were playing "Hail to the Chief."

There is enough facts out there by a factor of 10 to ding this guy on without resorting to making stuff up. Sometimes I feel it is the left doing it...because they know we will run with it and then they can make us look stupid.
