The Corbis people are insane.

Or have alot of time on their hands. Or else they are afraid of what is being accomplished on this site. I vote for the latter.

[Alas Babylon!]

Actually what it comes down to is this. A couple of months ago some skilled FReeper created (or found) an old looking, early 1970's photo of Jane Fonda and Kerry sitting at a table before a war protest of some kind. Everyone thought it was a "smoking gun", but it wasn't real. It was two separate Corbis pictures photoshoped together.

Anyway, this picture started making the rounds, it even got up to Fox News. Later Corbis found out about it and blew a gasket. Who knows, maybe the Kerry campaign staff told them they'd sue them. So now JimRob is on Corbis's shiite list. We need to keep JimRob's blood pressure down and his servers up by not posting their crap. However, you're right that the fact that Free Republic is a CONSERVATIVE web site and politically the "Artiste" community is fired up about that, too.
