But how could one look at that picture and not know it's bogus?
The premise - that Hillary would hold up an Abortion Tickles shirt at a gathering with military - is ludicrous.
Then there's the visual evidence.
Everyone who sees that should know right off it's faked.
The problem is (I think) that if a picture reinforces ideas one already has (Hillary=Evil), then one does not use one's critical faculties. People also glance at posts pretty quickly, and they may just register, "Hillary's pro-abortion, she's holding a shirt that makes a joke about abortion, I think that's something she'd do because I don't like her", and they move on.
I agree with you, though, and I'm concerned about people who apparently can't TELL something is faked. There's one that crops up around here from time to time, of Margaret Sanger supposedly addressing a Klan rally. That one also gets accepted (Sanger = Eugenics = Evil) and it's equally bogus. I have posted the original picture of Sanger that was photoshopped into that image; one man was very honest and asked the moderator to take the picture down once he saw it was not genuine; others have defended it ("Yeah, well, it's the sort of thing she WOUJLD do....").
"I've seen comments that this particular photo may be a Photoshop. I doubt it but anyone with conclusive evidence please let me know. It certainly is in CHARACTER with Hillary's Leftist/NARAL/Planned Parenthood stance...."
I went back to #5 and this was the small comment next to the picture. "I don't think it's photoshopped, but it's something she WOULD do...." As I said, lack of critical faculties, or at least the lack of will to apply them.
