Just coming back to answer the pings I have received on the topic.
First, I think the actual topic of the thread has been lost in the photo fray. At issue was more evidence, fed to the State Controlled Media by the Pima County Sheriff’s office...for what reason? To cover Dupnik’s butt some more? To buy him some more media face time? A better book deal, ala Sheriff Moose?
When all fingers should be pointing to the missed LEO opportunities to enforce existing Arizona guns laws, instead all SCM fingers, microphones and keyboards pointed North. To Alaska. To a woman that THE ACTUAL SHOOTER probably couldn’t pick out of a police line up. There is NOTHING that ties Palin to Loughner...other than political vitriol. And rather than question the motives/mindset of Loughner; or the malfeasance of Dupnik, instead as a conservative forum, we too point towards Palin. And like the SCM, not the real Palin...no a contrived, photoshopped Palin.
Now to the second question...bringing Michelle Obama into the fray. Do I make fun of the the FLOTUS...you betcha...why...because my ‘lying eyes’ tell me she is NOT, a ‘Fashion Icon(tm); my common sense tells me she is NOT a nutritional expert, a master gardener, or some sort of child care maven. I try to FReep on reality...not make believe (photo shopped) trash.
As to the photoshop shot itself...I think it came to the interwebs via some deep thinker over at the DUmp. It has been ‘refudiated’ multiple times...but like the slime over ‘there’ it keeps seeping back. It kinda makes me think of the creepy writer who moved in next door to the Palin’s to ‘observe’ them for that ‘gotcha’ moment...it is just plain wrong.
