Inspiring Picture from Obamamania rally in Austin, Texas


Ah, those issues. So intrusive, at times.

(NOTE: I do not endorse the site hosting this image. The photo to my knowledge is authentic. If you like it, please kick.)

5. Thanks for the confirmation...
This further backs up the authenticity of the photo. (I looked for a version on the Web not hosted by infowars.) But it happened, it's a rally by a Democratic candidate for President, and it counts as news.

4. It cannot be authentic.
That's Alex Jone's site and I can't believe he would sink to this. He's from Austin (where the photo was taken).

6. Please see Post #3 by Lone_Star_Dem...
He says he saw the sign on local TV coverage of the rally.

Why do you think the photo "cannot" be authentic? Is it physically impossible to raise an "Investigate 9/11" sign at a rally for Barack Obama?

I'm sorry that the photo is hosted on infowars but it appears to be authentic.

7. It doesn't strike me at all to be authentic.
Everyone was standing, so why is the fore-crowd lower than the guys at the back on the upper portion of the pic? It doesn't look similar to any posted with the yahoo story .. 157 of them.

My life doesn't depend on one way or the other. So, have it your way.

8. It was in a video clip I saw on the news
I can't say which network since I wasn't home at the time. It may even have been the local FOX station since this was on a Friday and my stylist is hooked on the court shows they show in the afternoons.

I saw it and she and I commented on the sign. Check the Austin Friday news clips and I'm sure you'll find it.

I think it was in the first video you can check on the left side.

Edit: it's in both the top choices.

11. Yes, I saw it!
Just as dramatic as the above photo, about 1 minute into the clip. However, your link doesn't work.

Should have big G instead of lower case in global.

Here it is (as you say, click on top video):

Normally I double check them but I forgot this time. Glad you got to see the video anyway.
