Can we say doctored photo?

[Lady J USA 1981]

Does this photo appear to be doctored to you?

[El Gato]

The site where this appeared is sponsored by the far-left group ANSWER.

Well, yes, but then so was the Rally for Treason.

[El Gato]

Wonder what would happen if we marched with signs that said.....

"TRAITORS out

of AMERICA NOW!"

As you can see in post 22, the Eagles did have a sign that read:

GO TO HELL TRAITORS

YOU DISHONOR OUR DEAD

ON HALLOWED GROUND

Now, last I checked Hell is not in America, no thanks to folks like the ANSWER Commies.

BTW, the location of that sign was between the bridge the traitors are staining and the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. They were NOT going be allowed to not make that turn towards the Pentagon.

[El Gato]

Well there was one photo of a real veteran on that site

Dang traitorous freaks were lucky this one guy didn't beat the snot out of all of them with his cane.

[bmwcyle]

I think you have been proven wrong.

[El Gato]

I think NN is only referring to the picture where you can see the "Go To Hell" banner, and the entire gaggle of the unwashed traitors on the bridge, not the other photos, which seem to have been based upon it, but with a little creative photoshopping applied.

[El Gato]

There are a whole lot more people in front of the orange banner in the UPI photo compared to the AP bridge photo.

And no police. What I presume are the Commie "marshalls", seem a bit thinner on the ground as well. The questionable picture is taken from a different angle, but at about the same time, you can tell from the relationship between the orange "Impeach Bush" sign and the "red devil looking thing". But the background seems almost totally different. Not to mentinon the extra people, and the grass, in the foreground.

Um... sorry, Nora... official US Park Police estimate: 10,000 commie moonbats... 30,000 Eagles.

Source? The last I read the Park Police gave up on estimating crowds. I'm curious.

[HitmanLV]

Looks real to me.

[rabidralph]

Why does your headline indicate it's a doctored photo and then your comment ask whether it's doctored? Are we now the National Fox New Alert Enquirer? Do you have proof that the photo's doctored?

[Mr.Unique]

Hold on...they were crossing the Memorial Bridge, not the Key Bridge...I don't understand your post.

[Mr.Unique]

Hold on...they were crossing the Memorial Bridge, not the Key Bridge...I don't understand your post.

Never mind! I finally read it correctly!

[Thunder90]

The photo is doctored. If it wasn't, half of the protesters to the right of the light poles would be swimming in the Potomac River.

[MississippiMan]

Probably not "doctored" such as adding more people but simply cropped to give a desired look.

Exactly. It's framed and cropped in a way that implies—promotes the perception of—a densely packed crowd of people that seems to stretch to infinity. If you really look closely, you can start to see that there is no massive number of people there.

They bank on people not looking closely. They've been doing this same thing with "crowds" of leftists forever, whether it's a couple dozen worn out old feminists or a few hundred anti-war losers like this.

[Nick Danger]

My final word on this subject. My verdict: not doctored.

[Mr.Unique]

I think you have been proven wrong.

[Maelstrom]

There appear to be a pair of lines of people in the photo.

TO me it seems that they've included at least some of the Gathering of Eagles counter-protesters in with the scumbags.

[Maelstrom]

Park Police don't make official estimates...according to moonbats...and this is verified by calling the Park Service.

[sig226]

I think I have been proven right. I didn't guess at the traffic island in the middle of the road/march, but I dn't know the District of Columbia's layout. :)

[nutmeg]

Who gave the official estimate of 30,000 Eagles and about 10,000 antiwar protestors (aka moonbats) for last weekend's protest/counter-protest? I've been stating on FR that it was an estimate by the US Park Police in DC (I think I heard that last weekend), but now some are questioning me and asking for sources. Do you know? Thanks...

[tgslTakoma]

Park Police no longer do "official crowd estimates." The estimate we were given was done in an unofficial way by one of the same people who used to do official estimates.

FYI, the official estimates were stopped after the right reverend Louis Farrakhan and his MMM thugs screamed racism and bigotry at the Park Service's estimates that the Million Man March came up 900-and-some-thousand short of the MMM claimed crowd size.
