Shameless photoshopped "proof" of flags in garbage

[ben_meyers]

Caution RW hate site. This may be were it started and is now being posted all over the internet. Obama's campaign has already said that they were just being packed up to use at other rallies.

1. Thats odd...

digorno pizzas at the invesco rally?

I call bullshit.

[RC]

2. Photoshopped? Staged maybe, not Photoshopped.

[Naturyl]

3. Oh sh*t...

Staged, fake, photoshopped, or not...

This is going to take off, I think. It has the ring of a perfect RW smear.

8. the flags were stolen, so you can get over your excitement.

4. Coming out of left field, sliding into home...

I couldn't resist posting my opinion of some of the sillier comments.


"The Bush Administration has effectively destroyed what the American Flag stood for.

So the flags in the trash bag are perfectly symbolic to what the Republicans have done to this country over the past 8 years.

VERY, very symbolic!"


Just couldn't help it.

5. Yeah, he's just as bad as THIS guy who SCRIBBLES on the flag!

Or THIS guy, who STEPS on the flag!

7. Didn't that guy call the constitution "a goddamned piece of paper"?

6. outdoor stadiums do not have fabric seats....

...especially in snow covered Colorado. Outdoor stadiums have plastic seats. This is no proof that the Democratic Party were trying to get rid of flags.

The flags given out today at the McPalen rally were a lot bigger. Why wait for a whole week to try and smear Obama?

9. So, it's the trash from the lunch room.

This is getting really ridiculous. There is nothing un-patriotic about throwing out promotional flags.

I got a paper flag as a kid. Should I still have it? Fuck no.

[ogneopasno]

10. Also, you'd think they'd be madder about those cheap flags being made in China.

Silly me.

[renate]

11. how is it possible to even trace where a batch of flags were used?

Something so easily faked--either posed or Photoshopped--shouldn't get one millisecond of anyone's attention.

12. RECYCLE. Look at the bottom PIC! IT'tsNOT GARBABE!!!!

Typical right wing smear bullshit. They have nothing to run on so they resort to this juvenile crap.

It's NOT garbage. I looked at the pics and noticed something... Look at the stuff inside: ALL RECYCLABLE. ANd look at the ripped piece of carboard next to it.

What happened was that those things were left behind in the big Invesco venue. The items were picked up, NOT to be thrown out, but to be sorted through for recycling. The bags they are in are all exactly the same.

THe maintenance people collected the stuff that would be sorted through for recycling or something other than going into the trash. Now if there were banana peels in there, or actual GARBAGE than I'd think the maintenance people threw them away.

The "YCLE" carboard tells the whole story at the bottom. It was a cardboard RECYCLE bin...

[1corona4u]

16. They probably have no idea what a recycling bin looks like....

to them, it's just another run of the mill cardboard box...dumbasses

13. BINGO, PLASTIC SEATS!

Another poster upthread pointed out that an outdoor stadium wouldn't have cloth seats:

Take a look here, left hand column, third from the bottom.

Staged!

[ben_meyers]

15. Good catch

Staged in the Pepsi center would be my guess! Look to the left of Dean.

[enough already]

14. This is Rove, plain and simple

More gutter politics from those prick neocons.
