Kerry Relies on Internet Coordinator Who Doctored Photos on Bush

In April, Zack Exley was named director of Internet organizing for presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, making him the Democrat's point man on the cyber front in the battle for voters. His background: the operator of a satirical website called GWBush.com and the subject of a federal complaint filed by lawyers for George Bush, according to a report in the LA Times.

Exley’s GWBush.com site in 1999 featured doctored photos of then-Governor Bush with cocaine residue under his nose. Exley also posted fake campaign statements under such headlines as "George II: Restoring the Throne to its Rightful Heir."

According to the report, since joining Kerry's headquarters in Washington, Exley has, among other initiatives, refined a system to let volunteers see where house meetings are being held in their neighborhoods.

"The real [political] debate is among regular people, and the Internet makes it possible for that debate to happen in print from person to person, across states and across communities," he said.

Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican National Committee, cited the fake photos on GWBush.com in lambasting his appointment as "a clear indication the Kerry campaign is going negative."

Meanwhile, the Bush campaign is looking to a team headed by Chuck DeFeo, a former aide to John Ashcroft when the Attorney General was in the Senate.

Defeo, says the report, frequently sends out e-mails to 6 million people -- a much larger list than Kerry has, and tailors smaller missives by geography and areas of interest.

"We have been a very grass-roots-oriented campaign," DeFeo said. "We believe there's no one more powerful to spread the president's message" than people on the street.

This is an unbelievable low even for Kerry.

[TheLurkerX]

Maybe he can photoshop a soul into Kerry.

[OldFriend]

I never assume that anything is beneath the likes of ketchup boy and his ilk.

[Texas Eagle]

This has always amazed me about Liberals. In order to make a Republican look bad, they have to make things up. In order to make themselves look good.....well, they have to make things up.

[Mister Baredog]

This is an unbelievable low even for Kerry

OXYMORON ALERT!!!

[Destro]

So both sides are even now for the Hanoi Jane/Kerry faked photo?

[Humidston]

Liberals - The people who claim to be sensitive to the feelings of all, inventors of the term "PC," and keepers of conscience and love for all humankind.

/sarcasm

[Texas Eagle]

One of the Kerry/Fonda photos was legit. The one that was faked had nothing to do with President Bush as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Zack Exley

Something about this name is curious......I can't put my finger on it but....

Ex zackley
Eggs Ackley = 1960's Zap Comix character....


Could this be a fabricated name for the print?

[Viking2002]

A perfect addition to Kerry's team - another bottom-feeding liberal with no ethics.

[Destro]

The one with them sitting together was faked and passed as a legit photo - the only one I am talking about. If the Bush faked photo mentioned in this article was passed as a real picture rather than a satirical one then its ok - we do it to Kerry all the time. If the Bush photo was faked and passed off as a real photo it is on par with the Kerry/Hanoi Jane one as being underhanded. So if that is the case does that make the 2 sides even?

[Destro]

OOps - this should read :: The one with them sitting together was faked and passed as a legit photo - the only one I am talking about. If the Bush faked photo mentioned in this article was passed NOT as a real picture BUT rather a satirical one then its ok - we do it to Kerry all the time (sorry about that-IT IS NOT OK TO PASS FAKED PICTURES AS REAL-I CAN'T TYPE WORTH A DIME). If the Bush photo was faked and passed off as a real photo it is on par with the Kerry/Hanoi Jane one as being underhanded. So if that is the case does that make the 2 sides even?

"Maybe he can photoshop a soul into Kerry."

It's highly doubtfull....Mrs. Ketchup can't even buy him a good image!

[TheLurkerX]

Well, he could always be a stunt double for Jay Leno if the election doesn't go his way.

Hey, Eggs!

Your secret identity has been revealed!

;-)

[lt.america]

You are going to have that on every side during every campaign. The point you are missing is that the author of the photo is now an official member of the Kerry team. Sort of like having a child molester teaching a Kindergarten class.

[Cloud William]

The one with them sitting together was faked and passed as a legit photo - the only one I am talking about.

You sure about that? I thought the photo of Jane Fonda sitting (foreground) with JF'nK sitting two rows behind her was legit. The pic showing the two of them standing side by side was faked by splicing together two authentic images (they both were photographed speaking before the same crowd, the same day).

Ask Registered... he'd know.

[Destro]

well yea! but try using another analogy - the child molester thing is a little strong.

[Destro]

You have it a little confused - the one where the moronic duo sitting side by side is the doctored photo.

[KangarooJacqui]

Maybe he can photoshop a soul into Kerry.

ROTFLMAO... I'm glad I put my coffee cup down before reading that!!!

[TheLurkerX]

It's a tall order. Maybe we should just shoot for cutting and pasting a spine into him.

[KangarooJacqui]

Maybe we should just shoot for cutting and pasting a spine into him.

I think even Paint Shop Pro isn't capable of that.

Maybe we should just shoot him? :-)

[expatpat]

Good one!

[MEG33]

The one of them together on a stage was faked by Registered...The one of him sitting in a crowd listening to a speaker ,behind Fonda, was real. They did speak at the same events...

[MEG33]

Your comparison of the faked Photos is revealing.

[weegee]

This lying liar always insisted that his website was a protected parody when all along we knew it was political propaganda (using stolen code, logos, and photos).

Now that he officially works for the Kerry Campaign, I would like to see his own site brought under FEC regulation. I want to see who his financial contributors are and see the limits on his activities as CFR demands.

[Destro]

OOoo revealing!!!! I did not think I was worth the analysis. Let me save you the trouble:

If I can use the marriage analogy with Bush's Presidency then I would say that the honeymoon with me is over but we are staying together for the sake of the children :)

[EggsAckley]

Heheheheh.

[kabar]

You sure about that? I thought the photo of Jane Fonda sitting (foreground) with JF'nK sitting two rows behind her was legit. The pic showing the two of them standing side by side was faked by splicing together two authentic images (they both were photographed speaking before the same crowd, the same day).

You are correct.

[weegee]

Photo editing skills PING.

[InfraRed]

You have it a little confused - the one where the moronic duo sitting side by side is the doctored photo.

I believe Cloud William had it exactly right...

Real photo: href=http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/kerry.asp

Fake photo: href=http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/kerry2.asp

[weegee]

There was also a leftist forgery that had military era George W. Bush cropped into the genuine photo of Kerry with Fonda at the protest. Never heard a peep out of the media about that one (DUmmies posted it).

[Destro]

Does not those pictures prove what I said? You have it a little confused - the one where the moronic duo sitting side by side is the doctored photo.

The real picture has Kerry sitting several rows back - not side by side - and the fake picture is the one where they are sitting side by side.

[weegee]

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Hmmm. Looked at the GW Bush site and it appears that it may be offline to avoid Election Law complications:

Sorry folks, but everyone who's worked on this imfamous parody site over the years is now too busy trying to defeat Bush and elect John Kerry to keep GWBush.com going right now.

Sign up and we'll let you know as soon as GWBush.com is back.

I would still like to see him prosecuted for his evasion of election laws back in 2000. Certainly the statute of limitations is not up.

[InfraRed]

The real picture has Kerry sitting several rows back - not side by side

Is that not what Cloud William said, just before you accused him of being confused?

[Destro]

Cloud replied to this statement: The one with them sitting together was faked and passed as a legit photo - the only one I am talking about.

Cloud wrote: You sure about that? I thought the photo of Jane Fonda sitting (foreground) with JF'nK sitting two rows behind her was legit.

I have no clue where Cloud read in my statement anything regarding that crowd scene. No biggie.

[Plutarch]

Let us crane our ears for the slightest whisper of objection to this appointment from all the libs who were shocked, shocked at the depths to which the Republican Attack Machine (with secret orders from Rove to Registered) had sunk, in fabricating the reprehensible and despicable forgery of Kerry with Fonda (not that they weren't sharing stages together, it is just that photographs of them together are in short supply).

I'm listening hard, and I don't hear anything, do you?

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[InfraRed]

I have no clue where Cloud read in my statement anything regarding that crowd scene.

You said this: "The one with them sitting together was faked"

Hanoi Jane is standing in the faked photo. They are both sitting in the real photo.

[John Lenin]

[cyncooper]

So both sides are even now for the Hanoi Jane/Kerry faked photo?

To be "even", the Bush campaign would have to hire the person who doctored the Kerry/Fonda photo.

In addition, that person who did the photo (yes, we know who he is), would have to have had a website devoted to spreading lies about Kerry and claim it was the truth.

Your analogy completely fails.

Back to the drawing board for you.

[cyncooper]

Looked at the GW Bush site and it appears that it may be offline to avoid Election Law complications:

Off topic, but when you noted this site being down reminded me to check, and sure enough, Michael Moore's website is offline, too. Has been for at least 24 hours now...

[CyberAnt]

The big difference is this - the person who created the "fake" picture was on the payroll of Gore - and now Kerry.

The person who created the "fake" Kerry photo - WAS NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF ANYONE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Big Difference.

[weegee]

I couldn't get it to load so I went to google and typed: miserable failure and low and behold when I clicked on the link, his page loaded. Try it now.

[Liberty Valance]

That photo in #42 tells me a lot. There ARE photos of Hanoi Jane and Kerry together out there. They are being expunged, hidden and otherwise locked out of sight. My hope is that some brave, patriotic soul will fork over a real one of John and Jane together...and I think it very well may happen soon. There's not enough turd polish out there to hide them all.

Zack the hack will be working overtime to keep them from surfacing.

[stocksthatgoup]

[cyncooper]

I tried typing that in google and still couldn't get it to load.

I know last night another freeper said, when I posted that it was down, that he had noticed and was going to post the same thing; that he checked and it was not being overloaded or anything--that it was completely offline.


Hmmmmmmmm

[John Lenin]

Somebody has to have a video of that rally there were some big names there. CBS probably has the archive locked up somewhere, for that matter so does ABC and NBC.
