Proof of a Neo-Racist Republican Party?

[Centexfarmer]

A photo doesn't prove much. It would not be the first time the Dems sent a plant into a Republican gathering. What proof it was at a Republican rally? Photoshpped? Perhaps. In any event it is only one guy.

See how quick you were to respond to that post?

I'm not saying...

I'm just saying

 

[MassRuss]

Yeah, sure, the Dems sent a plant to a Romney Rally. Plant's name?....Benny

 

[Kulindahr]

If the text is that clear and bright -- the Romney sticker should also be clear and sharp .... it isn't.

CLEARLY A FAKE PHOTO

Light colors on dark automatically look sharper to the human eye, according to my Physics of Light and Color class at OSU, and dark on light not so sharp. Large letters also look more clear to the human eyes than small.

Further, if you compare the wider parts on the sticker to the narrow bands in the lower letters on the shirt, they're comparable.

No evidence from that one for being fake.

Poor Jack.

Poor Ben.

You just don't want to admit that one of the main drivers for many Obama haters is that he just isn't...you know....

 

[Jack Springer]

The bald headed guy's image is too clear ... except for the Romney sticker. When you photoshop a photo -- all the elements you add must blend well with the rest of the images in the photo -- this one doesn't -- the sticker is not sharp -- however the text on the t-shirt is extremely crisp .... too crisp.

.. plus the guy didn't have Obama's "big-three" for his definition of a racist --- a gun, ammo, and a Bible.

Things have a tendency to get dirty during the last several weeks of an election -- perfect example.

This man was photographed at a Romney campaign rally in Lancaster, Ohio on October 12, 2012.

And you forgot to include the reaction from the Romney campaign.

Speaking to Buzzfeed, a Romney spokesperson said the garment is “reprehensible and has no place in this election.”

It's not a Photoshop.

The photographer, Jamie Sabau of Getty Images, has testified that he saw the man inside the Romney campaign event in Lancaster, Ohio on 12 October 2012. Jodi Einhorn of Getty has confirmed that the image has not been altered in any way.

I appreciate that your Republican inclination is to deal with reality by denying that it is real. There is no global climate change, evolution is a centuries-old conspiracy of all the world's biologists, gay marriage would destroy straight marriage. But, the rest of us depend on facts.

In other words, you agree that the image does not appear to have been photoshopped.

And you forgot to include the reaction from the Romney campaign.

Ummmm... ...what did you expect the Romney campaign to say? "We regret that the racism we try so hard to keep unstated attracts so many whose racism is overt?"

 

[Kulindahr]

Jackoroe has a good point; after all, the communists endorsed Obama.

But people denying it's a real photo need to learn some physics and optics as regards the human eye.

 

[Jack Springer]

10 minutes in photoshop ... and I'm not an expert.

Some people lie .... even photographers.

Either way -- if the guy is a racist -- I want nothing to do with him.

 

[T-Rexx]

^There is actually a book about why you guys cannot accept reality.

The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science and Reality.

It is about the psychology of Republicanism and why you guys find it necessary to create fantasy worlds. It analyzes the results of a lot of studies on Republicans and Democrats. It says you Republicans believe more wrong things than Democrats, you do not change your opinions when facts contradict them, and you have difficulty accepting new ideas.

But, it's a science book. So, I presume you're not interested.

It was included in T-rexx's link. You do actually have to read the material provided before assuming the position...err your position.

Interestingly, although not done quite so controversially as I have posed the question, PBS is doing a election special based on race and politics. Which is drawing fire from the right wing radio personality fired for using the N word during a discussion on his program. Go figure he has complaints right?

The special, "Race 2012 ," is being advertised by PBS on its website as a "conversation about race and politics," and features interviews with former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, author and legal scholar Randall Kennedy and conservative talk show host John Ziegler, among others. Topics discussed include the role of race in the election of President Barack Obama, the idea of a "post-racial society" and the notion of "white power" in America.

Obviously you're not an expert: the letters are clearly not associated with the cloth under them; they don't follow the visible wrinkles at all.

It's like seeing the fake fossils at the creationism museum to help in understanding that real fossils are really real. It's useful to have an example of a fake to see what a fake actually looks like.

 

[Benvolio]

Still no proof it took place at Republican rally, or that he was not a plant. Who took the photo? Are we supposed to believe that a Republican took the photo and made it public? Or was he a Democrat, seeking to embarrass the Republicans, who just happened to find the guy with the shirt? Nah. An obvious hoax.

If you will read the threads before you post, Benvolio, you may find that your questions have already been answered.

You mean like how psychologists continue to claim psychology is actually a science when it isn't? The irony is just so delicious!

Did I say I was an expert? no

even if you look at the t-shirt at 72dpi -- there are no wrinkles in the shirt --it's solid black.

both are fake -- just like the outrage about a blanket statement about republicans being racist

racists do exist -- they exist with both republicans and democrats, also with independents

some white people are racists, some black people are racists --- some of all races are racists

 

[andysayshi]

Jack, it's not fake. The photographer, Gettys Images (the largest photo sales company on Earth) who sold it, and a Photoshop expert at Gettys, have all verified it. I am a video professional and I use Photoshop every day, and I see no evidence of it being fake.

It's not fake.

This is exactly what we're talking about. You take a single opinion piece from a newspaper (which actually complains that psychology isn't scientific enough!) and you use that one opinion to try and deny an entire field of science!

Thank you for helping to prove the point. The irony is just so delicious!

Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology

Psychology

Psychology Psy*chol"o*gy, n. pl. Psychologies. [Psycho- +
-logy: cf. F. psychologie. See Psychical.]
The science of the human soul; specifically, the systematic
or scientific knowledge of the powers and functions of the
human soul, so far as they are known by consciousness; a
treatise on the human soul.
[1913 Webster]

Psychology, the science conversant about the phenomena
of the mind, or conscious subject, or self. --Sir W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]

I might suggest that you read the book, Jackoroe, but it's full of facts. It wouldn't appeal to you.

A photographer from a major news agency takes a photograph and verifies its authenticity. His company vouches for him. Therefore, the photo must be a fake!


There is no such thing as global warming. Evolution is a centuries-old conspiracy of the world's biologists. The HPV vaccine causes mental retardation. Legitimate rape cannot result in pregnancy. Gay marriage will destroy straight marriage. Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment against New Orleans for homosexuality.


I find it hard to carry on a conversation with Republicans. They don't live in this world.
