Hasn't the racist piece of shit done this before?

I guess they were trying to keep it quiet.

Post by: Karin on June 02, 2011, 11:58:28 AM: I think some other news outlet did that to Bobby Jindal. The DUmmies had no problem with that.

ufrommich, why so upset? Is there something wrong with being black?

Oh yeah.

They tried to make her look as white as Sarah Palin; this was just before the mid-term elections, and featured four (R) women candidates on the cover, all of them in red dresses.

But Drudge did not do this to the photo. Drudge pulled this from Yahoo and I think they got it from Reuters.

Edited to add:

The link is not working but if you go to yahoo news and search "Barack Obama, Donald Tusk" then click on the photos and look at picture 100. It is the exact same "darkened" photo but dated Saturday May 28th.

My apologies.

It was Newsweek magazine that tried to misrepresent Nikki Haley last autumn.

I believe I posted something about it here when it happened, but am too lazy to go look for it.

It was almost like Newsweak didn't want to show that conservatives were supporting a minority woman.

I would feel honored, but . . . a high-pressure shower with 12M HCl wouldn't hurt. :tongue:

Remember when John F'n Kerry (who served in Vietnam) looked like an Oompa-Loompa in one of his debates with GWB?

Too much "tan in a can"! :rotf:

Looks like the same photo to me with nothing altered but the size.
