Bush Doctored The Crowd Images In His TV Ads (pic) - GoFuckYourself.com

INDIANOLA, Iowa - President Bush's campaign acknowledged Thursday that it had doctored a photograph used in a television commercial and said the ad will be re-edited and reshipped to TV stations.

The photo of Bush addressing a group of soldiers was edited to remove both the president and the podium where he was standing. A group of soldiers in the crowd was electronically copied to fill in the space, aides say.

"There was no need to do that," said Mark McKinnon, head of Bush's advertising team who shouldered the blame. "Everyone technically works for me so I accept the responsibility."

The original photograph shows a sea of soldiers sitting behind the president as he stands at a podium just left of the center of the frame.

Democrats said it is fitting that Bush would fabricate an advertising image.

"This administration has always had a problem telling the truth from Iraq to jobs to health care," said Kerry spokesman Joe Lockhart. "The Bush campaign's advertising has been consistently dishonest in what they say. But today, it's been exposed for being dishonest about what we see. If they won't tell the truth in an ad, they won't tell the truth about anything else."

McKinnon said a video editor he declined to identify was told to edit the picture to focus on a young boy waving a flag. On his own initiative, the editor removed the podium and copied the faces, McKinnon said.

"I didn't even know it was done," he said. The doctoring was first revealed on an Internet site. "There was no intention on anybody's part to try to represent anything that wasn't true," McKinnon said

The Bush campaign noted that Bush was addressing a large group of troops in both the original and edited version.

"Bush is talking to the troops, the troops are real," said Bush spokesman Steve Schmidt said. He noted that the crowd the president was speaking to was much larger than depicted in the ad.

The ad, released Wednesday, is an emotional appeal in which Bush defends his decision to go to war and empathizes with fallen soldiers and their families.

The ad is running on national cable networks and in local media markets in at least one state, Ohio.

The issue was first mentioned on the liberal Web log

That's just silly. I mean, what was the point? If they wanted to focus the little boy with the flag, then they should have just put the rest of the picture out of focus. Simple. Takes a few minutes. Now a bunch of 'tards are going to go about calling this some kind of scandal undoubtedly.

How would you like it if some inserted 5 extra images of you in a crowd to make the picture look a certain way?

I wouldn't have a problem.
Besides, it would just show their intelligence.
5 extra images of me would make ANY scene better.

Not a surprise....

All of his 'rallies' are by invitation only.. Guess that's the only way he can make sure everyone hoots & hollers in his favor...

Funny thing is that Bush will never be held responsible for this. Altering things is a win win idea. If no one finds out about the adjustments its good, if they do they will just blame the supporters who did it and not bush, so it doesnt really matter anyway hehe.

it only shows the same policy and way of life in how Bush treats the american public. Openly lies to an American public about how good he is as a leader, and only those with a bit more common sense can catch him doing it while the rest are sheep

At least there's more evidence explaining those multiple votes that are taking place.

Hey You . . . I Know You! · 11-01-2004, 07:40 AM

BUSH is PATHETIC!

Digitally creating phony support while using real taxpayer money to "round up" all the protestors and fence them in "designated areas" which NO other president has ever done. Have you ever heard of this sort of nightmare in the United States?
