1. shades of OJ

[NOLALady]

24. My first thought exactly.

The blacker the skin, the more threatening and dangerous.

[ingac70]

2. She's gotta make him look more "menacing"....

She is a vile human being.

[waiting for hope]

11. Who's to say the Hillary camp did that?

I wouldn't put it past Fox to have done something like that.

[DJ13]

19. I wouldn't put it past Fox to have done something like that.

Its from a Hillary campaign brochure.

[superkia]

25. I think Clinton, Bush and Murdoch all have the same agendas.

[anigbrowl]

26. Well, you can doanload the campaign ads from Hillary's website

So I don't see how you can blame it on Fox.

[NightWatcher]

3. Hillary and Faux, how nice of her to do the heavy lifting for the rw

I guess she's paying Rupert back for the fund raisers he threw her

[JimGinPA]

4. Damn, If Fox Calls You Out For Racism...

You must REALLY have stepped over the line.


:rofl:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. It's like John McCain calling Bill Cunningham a racist.

Dear oh dear oh dear...

[yellerpup]

5. Dirty, dirty, dirty shame. n/t

[burythehatchet]

6. Is this the "fun" part? Are we having fun yet? n/t

[demo dutch]

8. Might as well get ready, it's only the beginning of it all, if he's the nominee. This

country is one sorry place! Racism and sexism beyond belief. It's time to check out pack the bags and go elsewhere!

[El Supremo]

9. Faux said story came from Daily Kos. But I can't find it there. n/m

29. Daily Kos: Good enough to write about, but not good enough for Fox News...

...to hyperlink to.

[NashVegas]

10. Those Are Different Photos, Period

The eyes are different and his head is turned more in the 2nd one.

Maybe she did and maybe she didn't, but these photos don't show anything relevant.

[JackORoses]

15. the photos came from a video.

the first photo shows the coloring from the video, the second is Hillary's ad coloring.

Notice anything?

[bunnies]

17. Thats because they're screengrabs of footage, not photos.

Not saying I agree with the accusation at all. Just want to be clear about what you're looking at.

[Lucinda]

14. And his SC mailer made him look lighter. It's all nonsense.

16. Those aren't even the same picture. Look at them.

Maybe they were taken at different times when the lighting was different? Nice try though Obama supporters.

[MyNameGoesHere]

18. Psst, They can't hear you

way to busy being outraged.

[bunnies]

20. see post 17. nt

[anigbrowl]

27. Sure, they change the lighting during the debate - not.

Sorry, I work in the film business and to get a change like that from lighting you'd have to add a blue gel to the front of the light. And it still wouldn't affect the color of the background, which as you can see in the example has lost most of its red tint.

[Arkansas Granny]

36. Could you get a difference in shading from different cameras?

The reason I ask is because the stripes on his tie in the right hand picture are much more distinct than the stripes in the left hand picture, like the focus was off or something. Could that explain anything?

[nomorewhopper]

21. i heard that HRC Campaign made him appear darker?

hope that's not true

[invictus]

22. Hillary's entire campaign has had a dirty, racist overtone. She knows she can't win without these di

rty tricks.

[Liquorice]

23. Obama supporters who push this nonsense

ought to be ashamed of themselves. The entire ad is darker than the debate footage. There's a blue-tinted baby and child at the beginning of the ad and Hillary is also 'darker' in the ad. Is that racism too? This attack is baseless and pathetic, but will be difficult to fight. The Obama people pushing it know that to be true, therefore they will forward it to every news org they can. Talk about dirty politics! Hope and change--maybe it was just words.

[jillan]

34. It is unfuckingbelievable how low they will go.

[damntexdem]

28. LIkely meant to scare the electorate.

But I think darker Obama is better looking.

[emilyg]

30. Why didn't you post the explanation for it?

[NorthernSpy]

38. Because the "explanation" is bullcorn.

That's why.

[emilyg]

39. Post it. Let people decide.

[Thurston Howell III]

31. But isn't everything in the photo darker and just not Obama?

I'm an Obama supporter.

[Arkansas Granny]

37. Yes. The resolution seems to be sharper in the darker photo also.

Just an observation. I don't know what it could mean.

[DrFunkenstein]

32. Call Me at The Playboy Mansion!

The still picture also has the darker version with narrowed eyes, making him seem even more menacing. Which is why I don't trust him at 3 a.m. in a darkened alley.

[DrFunkenstein]

33. Dupe

[mckeown1128]

35. And Hillary will want my vote in GE...yeah right... N/T
