    Birther caught Red-Handed Altering Images

    From the left-wing site Media Matters:

    Jack Cashill, author of the charmingly insane book Deconstructing Obama, claims to have unearthed yet another shocking bombshell about Barack Obama's past. According to Cashill's WorldNetDaily column this morning, this photo of young Barack Obama and his grandparents in New York is a forgery into which Obama has been photoshopped:



    Cashill writes: "The bench is real. The grandparents are real. The wall behind them is real. Barack Obama is not. He has been conspicuously photoshopped in. Who did this and why remains as much a mystery as Obama's extended stay in New York." He embeds a YouTube video that claims to have uncovered the "real" photo, seen below, in which Obama is nowhere to be seen:



    Actually, to say Obama is "nowhere to be seen" isn't quite accurate, given that the young future president's right knee is still somehow visible in the "real" photo:




    So yeah: Jack Cashill is a clownish buffoon. Be sure to tell that to the hosts of Fox & Friends the next time they have him on national television. Also, drop a line to Andrew Breitbart, who is quite enamored of Cashill's "convincing work."

    This is not the first time birthers have been caught lying. They previously manufactured fake Kenyan birth certificates that bungled the nation's status as a colony, revealing that they were fakes. It also says a lot that right-wing media guy Breitbart praised this propagandist's "convincing work."

Rather than workable solutions, my party is offering low taxes for the currently rich and high spending for the currently old, to be followed by who-knows-what and who-the-hell-cares. This isn't conservatism; it's a going-out-of-business sale for the baby-boom generation."

    For someone to fake documents and photoshop pictures shows how racist these birthers are. Maybe calling them that name is not appropriate, but that is how i feel about these buffoons. I can't prove it but i am convinced it is because Obama is african american. I may be way off base, but i truely believe that. Breitbart, Fox, that's all that needs to be said.

    The birthers are racist. I was actually just about to ask the question: why is Obama the first President that people have demanded to see a birth certificate for? Why have we never heard about a President being asked to provide a long form birth certificate until we had our first black President?

    The birthers are clearly racist. I could fill up this whole thread with examples of racism from the far right.
