We know Huffington Post asked their liberal readers to attend, take pics and report on the tea party protests. Lets face it, we know they were looking for something outrageous to publicize so gullible liberals can dismiss the protestors as nutty extermists. Knowing liberals, I can easily imagine some folks showing up with their own extremist signs for a friend to take pics of. Kind of fits in with Alinsky tactics. Naturally, Huffington Post now has their "most offensive signs" from the tea parties up - you could see that coming: huffingtonpost.com A few observations. The "Obama = Hitler" and "America is a Christian Nation" signs were held by persons facing away from the camera. Re. the "Obama: Socialist Pig" sign - can't see sign holders face, his hand is in front of his face (ala the neighbor on Tool Time) also no visible rally in the background. The same photographer took pics of the same sign attributed to both Chicago and Philadelphia: 1) "The American taxpayers are the Jews in Obama's Ovens" - can see the protestors face under a cap behind blue sunglasses, rally in background, though he (and his sign) are facing the opposite of everyone else. He's holding several signs, wearing a bright orange jacket. Taken in Chicago by Tony Ramao. images.huffingtonpost.com 2) Pic of Obama as Hitler - definitely the same guy w/ the "Obama's Ovens" sign - identifiable by same jacket and cap, sign again pointing away from the rally. Taken in Chicago by T. Ramao. images.huffingtonpost.com 3) The same sign showing Obama as Hitler but in Philadelphia taken by Toni Ramao. Sign holder has the same orange jacket: images.huffingtonpost.com The same photographer taking a pic of the same sign in Chicago AND Philadelphia? Probably just an innocent mistake. Note: I see you have to thumb through the pics at the huffpo site to see where they're supposed to be from - I did and #3 above is identified as Philadelphia and #1 & 2 are identified as being in Chicago. Also, there's a sign from Sacramento that looks like the Chicago guy without a ball cap on his head and in this one you cant see whether theres a jacket or not - not sure about this one - the nose looks the same to me but ??? ... who knows - if he and his signs can be in two cities on the same day why not three?: images.huffingtonpost.com Our "tax dollars given to Hamas" (Sacramento)- guy holding sign looks like the "Obama;s Ovens" guy in Chicago w/o a cap, same nose and blue sunglasses
