Freeper Help - Is this Karl Rove picture photoshopped? [vanity]
7/14/2008 | Corin Stormhands

Posted on 07/14/2008 8:26:11 PM PDT by Corin Stormhands

I need help in proving that this picture is photoshopped. A Virginia Democrat blogger is using it like it's an actual news photo.

Can you help me prove it's a fake?

Thanks.

Virginia ping.

A liberal Virginia blogger is posting this photo like it’s a legitimate news photo in an attempt to discredit Rove and Congresswoman Thelma Drake.

I’d like to find the source of the original photoshop if possible.

I'd bet it is photoshopped.

Karl Rove doesn't behave like that in ANY circumstance.

BTW, what “incident” is this supposed to represent?

That’s a shoop. I can tell because I’ve seen many shoops in my day.

Rove is coming to Virginia Beach to do a fundraiser for Thelma Drake. They’re blasting him over his refusal to testify.

The blogger is posting this and insinuating it’s his actual arrest. I know it’s not, but I’d like to be able to prove it before I challenge her.

Is this a prophesy?

Trust me, that photo is totally bogus. If Karl Rove had EVER been hauled off by cops in public that way, we'd have known about it from the ensuing media frenzy.

Having said that, the image you posted is too small to analyze properly for Photoshop tells. The likelihood is that his head was superimposed on the image, so finding the original would be extremely difficult.

If it was real, it would have been major news. Not that I would object to La Raza’s Man of the Year doing the perp walk.

Waaay back in the far reaches of my mind, I seem to recall that there was fake or play arrest of Rove and some other WH staffers for some charity. Sorry I’m not any help.

Check the angle of the light on the officer’s head (on the right). It’s not quite the same as the angle on Rove’s head. There is also a kind of glare spot on Rove’s head that does not appear on the baldy to the right of Rove.

Because the Dems have a pattern of spreading lies about Congresswoman Drake. They tried it last time and lost miserably. And they’re trying it again.

I’d like to be able to point that out. That’s all.

If Rove were arrested, you would hear about it for one week straight, all day.

Yeah, it’s a shop.

LOL, maybe because Mr. Rove has never been dragged off by the police in his life.

Of course it’s photoshopped. And I do believe that it constitutes libel.

More than the “photoshopped” issue, is the question of “provenance.”

When was the picture supposedly taken? Why was he being so handled? Who are the two cops? What do they say, etc?

Who else got a picture of this?
