Hillary Caught Making a Photo of Obama Blacker Again?
There was a scandal where it looked like a photo of Obama was made blacker on the Hillary website. I was dismissive of it, but now it appears it's happened again. Look at this photo of Obama: ![]() Now look at how the same image appears on Hillary's website: ![]() He looks noticeably blacker to me. I contacted the Hillary campaign for an explanation, and they said any differences in the images is the result of normal photo adjustments such as desaturation. I guess that seems plausible to me. Any photography experts out there want to comment? UPDATE: 24 Responses To "Hillary Caught Making a Photo of Obama Blacker Again?"
First! Now I have to get the coffee out of my nose and off the keyboard. #1 - Posted by: John on March 7, 2008 09:28 AM1. Hilarious 2. This forced me to go look at the original Kos story (something I managed not to do the other day, and then read the comments...oh dear. The nutroots are in rather a dither, aren't they? #2 - Posted by: Joseph on March 7, 2008 09:37 AMactually, the bottom photo is Obracka in a normal state; the photoshopped one is on top. #3 - Posted by: aA on March 7, 2008 09:43 AMLook what the Christian Right is doing to me! #4 - Posted by: BRAKO BAMA on March 7, 2008 10:26 AMI'm o be Pres-O-Dent!!! #5 - Posted by: Barak Obama on March 7, 2008 10:41 AMwhoever doesn't like it is putting out the message that 'white' is better.......who are these racists that would complain about 'blackness'? that '70's shot of obama is cute. #6 - Posted by: mtb23 on March 7, 2008 11:56 AMYou forgot to mention that the first one had a caption they removed, too. Here's the original. #7 - Posted by: Raoul Ortega on March 7, 2008 12:11 PMReminds me of Newberg trying to walk through the doorway during a flashback in "Naked Gun 2 1/2". www.politicalwrinkles.com #8 - Posted by: cnredd on March 7, 2008 12:21 PMThis is shameful, incendiary, hate-mongering garbage. This is facism of the worst sort. Showing these two nearly identical photographs and suggesting that one of them has been intentionally altered is most unseemly, raising the specter of bigotry and intolerance over an otherwise nurturing and accepting primary contest. Everyone is skirting the issue, so I'll just come out and say it. It's time to break the taboo, and end the cycle of intolerance and shame. Yes, Barack Obama has a wart or mole next to his nose. While in a different context raising awareness of the blemish issue could benefit the entire community, in this case by failing to meet the subject head-on you have done nothing but make a bad situation worse, by pandering to the lowest common facist denominator. #9 - Posted by: Snarkrates on March 7, 2008 12:37 PMWhachu talkin' about Frankie? #10 - Posted by: ken on March 7, 2008 12:55 PMHe doesn't really look black to me in either photograph... it would take more than hair alterations to make Obama black... #11 - Posted by: Earnest Iconoclast on March 7, 2008 01:18 PMI think Obama would approve of the new look/picture...it actually minimizes the size of his ears, don'tcha think? #12 - Posted by: marybel on March 7, 2008 02:21 PMCracks me up...all this crap about how black someone is. When ridin' with my black buddies in Florida in the early 70's, they would make fun of and harass blacks that were darker than they were...using the same racist epithets that the racist rednecks used. Wassup wit' that? #13 - Posted by: Alaskan on March 7, 2008 03:06 PMHe looks a wee bit like Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat on SNL. #14 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 7, 2008 05:32 PMLove the 'fro. Dude it is bootylicious. #16 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 7, 2008 09:10 PM((singing) Barack the Magic Negro, lives in DC.... #17 - Posted by: PatinMi on March 7, 2008 11:25 PMIt just needs a couple of gold teef in it's mouth and it will be complete. #19 - Posted by: sugargeek on March 9, 2008 09:01 PMHate much,wingers? #20 - Posted by: Me on March 9, 2008 10:17 PMWhat next: Hillary Clinton donor busted for trafficking in human body parts? Did I hear that? Apparently so. If appearing on Saturday Night Live is any indicator of experience, Hillary is a shoe in, as the Democratic nominee. Still and all, one might think Saturday Night would learn after the ill-timed and irresponsible “Branch Dav-idiots” spoof, made during the Waco standoff. Of course, SNL couldn’t foresee that the Clintons would call Attorney General Janet Reno to the White House the following day, Sunday. SNL couldn’t know that only days later the situation would end badly. Of course SNL knows better in 2008, but in 1995 few knew the thin-skinned, volatile and incendiary nature of either Clinton, or the grasping synergy between them. As for Hillary, “Her experience speaks for itself,” says former U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who is advising her campaign: http://theseedsof9-11.com #21 - Posted by: Peggy McGilligan on March 10, 2008 01:16 AMhahahaha too damned funny! check this out - fake ad: I hate when that happens in photoshop... The funny thing though is that if you adjust the picture the other way he turns into R. Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket! #23 - Posted by: TSCTH on March 10, 2008 10:18 PM'com on PoP, Aunt Ester's and Grady are here ! #24 - Posted by: on March 11, 2008 08:44 AMPost a comment
