DNC continues smear against Schmidt with photoshopped billboard
A reader emailed me asking how I knew the Schmidt photograph was photoshopped to add the black warts. Well, if you don't believe me, believe the Ohio DNC. Here's the billboard (click for larger view):
And here's the full-page ad using the very same photograph (click for larger view):
Here's a closeup of the black spots:
Now, does anyone think they photoshopped the full-page version to improve Jean's appearance? I didn't think so.
I had already mentioned in a previous post how it's probable that the original picture wasn't black and white - even if it was, it was crudely adjusted to make the photo unreal and harsh. And thanks to someone scewing up at the Ohio DNC (using a pre-black spot picture for the full-page ad), we now have proof that the original billboard had the black spots puposefully added.
You know, when your ideas have merit, you don't have to go to all this trouble. Which is why I expect the DNC to continue the use of this tactic.
And again, I'm not defending what Rep. Schmidt said and apologized for. But she doesn't deserve this. Photoshopping a person's image to elicit a negative reaction is dishonest and infantile.
