And the Lies Just Keep On Coming

Romney Campaign Photoshops Extra White People Into Crowd.


Yes, all politicians and their campaigns stretch the truth, but Romney and his Boyz have reached new heights of mendacious weaseldom.

LOL They really need to spend top dollar on photo shop talent next tiem so its not so obvious LOL

I don't know. I have a hard time believing that was meant to deceive. Just seems like a crappy panoramic cropping to me.

 

[randomrogue]

Wow what a loser

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Dude, they have the whole image screwed up and the lesson learned is white people? Looks like a nomination for a "worst photoshop" thread. Someone looked at that and all they saw is more white folks?

Look at the large picture. It's obviously manipulated

 

[PokerGuy]

Indeed, your posts do keep coming OP

No doubt.

You should really look up the word 'intent'. Might help you out in life to not look so dumb.

"Wisely, they didn’t Photoshop any non-white people into the picture, or it would have been too obvious." They were damn clever...but not smart enough to fool Perknose!

Don't people understand? Go big or go home!

Should have photoshopped it to be all black/asian/hispanic men and women.

It's pretty sad that he can't even get the crowds that a cracked out old senile racist tea party congressman could get well after the fact he lost the Primaries.

GOP: Burn it to the ground.

 

[SheHateMe]

That looks 'shopped....oh wait.

:sneaky:

 

[QuantumPion]

Perknose is losing it, lol.

 

[QuantumPion]

Also, perky is racist because his avatar has a black cat watching a white cat lick itself, clearly trying to connect subconsciously sexual predator behavior and voyeurism with black people.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on this photo. It looks to me like it could easily be a bad stitch of a constructed panoramic photo. In the confined space of a tent, a photographer would need an ultra-wide-angle lens to capture that view, perhaps even a fish eye. One simply cannot back up far enough to get that view. It seems plausible they used automatic panoramic software to stitch together multiple photos, and the software did it poorly.

Such software works well when you have a landscape with distinct features. It wouldn't work so well when all you have is a room full of homogeneous, pasty white faces.

It's pretty obvious that it's a botched patch job and buzzfeed goes about pointing out the obvious with red arrows saying in effect "water is wet!". The only possible conclusion? Need more white people!

I didn't see conspiracy I saw a crappy job. Imaging if the exact same thing happened at an OBAMA rally and someone accused him of getting more blacks. "Oh yeah we see that"? Hell no they would be saying what I did and it would be equally absurd. Reality isn't that hard.

What good does it do anyways to make the crowd at a Romney event look more white? Does the left even think about their attacks before they conduct them.

It would be far more scandalous and newsworthy if they were doing the opposite, I would think.

 

[randomrogue]

I have never seen that happen with stitching. It's cloning since photoshop would not be confused by the support beams.

Even if it was though it's still a blatant manipulation since tripled the size of the crowd.

No lies? You're no fun.

The color of people's skin is irrelevant. The intent here was to multiply the crowd size many times over.

You have never seen it before, can't really explain it in terms of imaging software but by God they were blatantly doing something to manipulate the look of the crowd size. You are sure of that.

Funny you are.

Apparently not to the OP or the story writers in the OP.

Nice try at downplaying that.
