Ted Cruz Used A Very Fake Photoshop of Marco Rubio In An Ad. Then The Internet Got Its Revenge.
Independent Journal ^ | February 22, 2016 | Benny Johnson

Posted on 02/23/2016 6:12:42 AM PST by true believer forever

The Ted Cruz campaign was called out for a very fake photoshop of Marco Rubio last week. This image of Rubio enthusiastically shaking Obama's hand was used on a Cruz campaign landing page.

The Cruz campaign initially denied the photo was fake, which led to an important fact check by the internet. The photoshop feud led to an important competition on Twitter, where users attempted their own Rubio photoshops with stunning accuracy.

Why do grown men act like children when they are running for the highest office in the world?

Did Cruz license the Getty image. If not, Getty will own them soon.

Ted is done. He may win Texas. But that’s the only other state he has a chance to win in. No surprise at all.

Marco always comes off as a kid. He even cuts work just like a kid.

He is available to be teachers pet for a price.

Oh, those little sneaky anchor babies.

Cruz is habitual liar. Always apologizing.

And here’s the worst part about this whole mess.

The charge is accurate that Rubio is Mister Gang-of-Eight.

But because this ad was incompetently and dishonestly put together, he’s now inoculated to a degree from that charge.

Thanks a LOT, Cruz and Cruz campaign staff.

First of all, if you think that Ted has time to produce commercials and select photoshopped images, you are a dimwit. Second, if you are willing to support Trump or Rubio, two guys who have been busy making deals with progressives and shredding the Constitution over a man who has honored every promise he has made to America, you are truly beyond hope.
Oh, I forgot, Ted is a LIAR! I can’t believe there are so many simpletons who believe this.

You tell me ... I was surprised at how blatant this was. There's no way it was unintentional.

Have a great day!

Whoever produced this gets the blame, not Ted. However, if this was a Trump commercial, he wouldn’t lose a vote b/c of the photoshop, and not one commentator would be discussing it. The average voter is a moron.

Rubio is emerging as the better man.

You really need to back off ... I posted without commentary so people could view for themselves and because there were a lot of very funny rubio photoshops at the link which readers contributed.

as for simpletons, I'll let you wrestle with that. It seems like you have a lot of pent up energy to spend.

Even though you responded like a total jerk, I am going to wish you a great day, too! Now put on a smile :)

You are indeed a “true believer”, like a cultist, if you think that Ted had anything to do with the photoshop. If that is what you are saying, I feel sorry for you and millions of others who are so susceptible to propaganda. If and when the story of America is told, historians will speak of two main things about Americans: Greed and gullibility.

I don't know about that ... he doesn't seem as self righteous as Cruz so I am glad for that ...

Have a great day!!

Sorry, spreading propaganda without commentary suggests agreement.
