SQLserver Posted September 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ha, this made me laugh. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/20...ins_debate.html This is representative of the ridiculous lies, idiocracy, and misinformation the McCain campaign has shown and put forth. Since when is straight talk psychic? Honestly, this is getting ridiculous. (Even funnier is when people don't even read the article the Washington Post wrote and cite it as an example of someone who thought McCain won!)

questionmark Posted September 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Now, don't we have something like that from certain Taikonauts (quarrel quoted before it happened?).... looks like the Reps are swinging further over to the left than we expected, after the well known motto : To learn from the Chinese is learning to win.

__Kratos__ Posted September 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2008 A lot of big companies and people have all possible outcomes prepared before they happen. If you want a real interesting ad, go to cnn.com under politics, look at the Obama ad and look at the Obama picture in the headlines. Obama has his skin lightened in his ads. Guess he wants to look whiter? Screenshot: Seems like a a lie as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I was just looking at that picture 3 minutes ago on CNN and I was thinking to myself CNN lightened his color and put come gray in his hair to appeal to white people. I was even comparing it to the picture of Barack (with McCain) below it. Edit: Spelling. Edited September 29, 2008 by 284dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

284dan Posted September 29, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2008 CONSPIRACY!!!! I am not saying this is a conspiracy. I voted for Obama in the primaries, I have an Obama sign in my yard, I donated $2000 to Obamas campaign and I will be voting Obama on November 4th.

Don't worry, if I thought you were being completely serious, I would have seriously pounced on you. It is just, I think the whole idea that Obama(Or CNN) would make him a seem a little whiter by casting him in a bright light, which will somehow subliminally influence voters to think he's white even though anyone who knows anything about the election knows he is technically half black and half white, which will somehow make them more inclined to vote for him, is a little ridiculous.

Cheers, SQLserver The ad is from the Obama campaign. And how do you explain the vast difference in tones between the pictures? You just can't ignore the evidence.

ninjadude Posted September 30, 2008 #12 Share Posted September 30, 2008 LOL great posts Thanks. I thought so. I mean really, who the F cares about what color his skin is? What bring up the issue? We have serious problems and we need serious people to deal with them and skin color is not a determining factor. Brains is. We've had 8 years of brainless.

ninjadude Posted September 30, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Gee i dunno "The light was brighter? Less makup? More makup? The light was dimmer? He didn't feel well? He felt great? A different camera with different settings (aperature, speed, etc)? Strobes? Backlight? Sunlight? Nightime? There are nearly an infinite number of reasons. Apparent skin color in photographs is very nebulous depending on a HUGE number of factors. It's an incredibly silly discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparent skin color in photographs is very nebulous depending on a HUGE number of factors. Maybe, but this is the second ad of his on cnn that I've seen that's done it. Seems the effect was enhanced with a photo editor as well compared to his other pictures. If it was simply light (the most likely choice) it wouldn't have affected his left ear. It's an incredibly silly discussion. Kind of like putting a screen shot up of a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
