Ok, I didn't even find out about the whole thing till an hour ago, and the sitting at a rally pic was the only one I could find at Newsmax.

That one is is a fake I believe.....

Fonda sitting at a rally and Kerry sitting back in the crowd behind her is the only real one to have surfaced to date.

No excuse here, but anyone in publishing should have spotted the fake immediately.

Eh, no surprise, while not as bad as DUMBKA, Newsmax (and World Net Daily as well) are pretty crappy and lame and get way too much respect around here.

Hint, this is fake:

Right. You cant overstate the case, or the press will nail the exaggeration as "unfounded rumors". Then they can bury the truth, which is bad enough.

Now there was a *real* photo of Kerry with Hubbard and Ramsey Clark and Fonda (obscured) on a stage. a B &W. To me, that was the most representative one that picturized his anti-war involvement... but his Congressional testimony is damning enough.

Good. At least we know The Washington Time printed the correct one yesterday.

Great likeness though.

Please be specific. I have seen three photographs here. One is Kerry and Fonda sitting in the audience at the Valley Forge Rally for Vietnam Veterans Against the War. This one is apparently legit. The second is one that was created, with usual excellence, by Registered. This one bears his name, and was credited to him on FR.

The third photograph I have seen shows Fonda at the microphone at that same Rally, and Kerry in the nearground holding a sheaf of papers, apparently either about to speak next or having just spoken. No one else appears in that photograph. This one I had speculated should exist in the morgue of a paper in the metro-Philly area, or in the files of the photographers who covered that Rally.

Since Fonda provided heavy financing for the Valley Forge Rally, the previous Detroit "testimony" from "claimed" Vietnam vets, and the movie, F.T.A., and Kerry was head of VVAW, it is hard to believe that they were not together at some point either when the money changed hands, or speeches were being made. So a photo like that should exist.

So, which is the apparent "fake photo" you're referring to? Is it the one that Registered created, and clearly labeled as his creation? Or is it that third photo, showing Fonda and Kerry on the stage together in Valley Forge? For those of us who have been following this subject closely, pkease state which you mean.

Click here, then click the blue CFR button, to join the anti-CFR effort (or visit the "Hugh & Series, Critical & Pulled by JimRob" thread). Don't delay. Do it now.

Also be advised that DNC pigs will play the Soviet gambit -planting false-proofs of actual events. Some sucker runs with it, gets discredited, so when the REAL proof turns up they claim "just another fake, like last time".

I don't know if anyone else did, too, but I let NewsMax know of the fake, and it was down within minutes of my email.

I saw the Post: Hanoi Jane on Paul Zahn Now!
It had a fake picture. I smelled a rat. I book marked and when I went back it was gone. Fine with me it should have been deleted if it was false. However, what concerns me is the fact that it (Post number 44) was not purged or replaced with "deleted by moderator". Instead it was replaced with another picture (a fine photo of Ted) and numbered 44, as if the first picture was never there. I wrote a reply that the thing smelled like a scene from 1984.
Is it a policy of FR to replace posts already posted with more acceptable ones or was this an aberration? It looked like a cover up and that makes us look worse than the post itself. Delete it, ban it but do not pretend it never existed.

Not aimed at you,Madstrider

Is this the NewsMax pic? This is still on their server:

[Howlin]

NewsMax grabbed the first one off this very site and claimed it as their own, without crediting FR for having found it in the first place.

Thank you for posting this thread.

I was almost part of the news scandal you mentioned above because I shared the photo with ONE PERSON and it was traced back to me. I thought the photo was real!

You'd have to be crazy to doctor a photo and leave "AP" on the photo as the source.

People need to be more responsible. It's one thing if the photo is obviously a joke but this one looked authentic. Apparently, it fooled a lot of folks. This will not earn the conservative cause any points...

[GulliverSwift]

Because their budget is probably the same as the average Freeper's.

Is this the NewsMax pic?

No, it was the black & white "AP" photo that looked like a newspaper clipping. I hesitate to repost it because it would just further its dissemination.

At some point last night, Registered changed the picture on HIS server that was being referenced by threads on FR. That was the one you saw of Kennedy at Hooters. Don't know if it's still up or not

[GulliverSwift]

It's much, much easier to fake black and white pictures.
