riddler 0 #51 December 14, 2009 QuoteSo, when Contessa Brewer reported about 'white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists or to their legs' at an Arizona Town Hall meeting, was that 'left spin' or 'udder false facts'? I don't get it - are you saying that the two pictures are the same? I don't think they are ... Or are you saying these are two different pictures, but not everyone carrying a gun was white. I don't think she said that. Or are you saying that someone is a cow?Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think she said that. Two different pics of the same man. Her words above are a direct quote. Quote Or are you saying that someone is a cow?

QuoteThey are the same picture! Sorry, I respectfully disagree. Part of my job is to look carefully at images, and I don't think they are the same photo at all. In fact, to clarify, I took your "full" image, and I cropped it, with the approximate dimensions and position of the supposed cropped image, focusing on the clip, stock, and handguard of the weapon. They are different images. I attached them for reference. It's possible they are of the same man, with the same main weapon, but there are some different artifacts in the image, which means it also may be a different man. I'm not going to say either is true, but there is doubt both ways. There is no doubt in my mind they are different images. Edit to add the final image.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

kelpdiver 2 #55 December 15, 2009 it's not the same picture. It is highly likely to be the same man. I don't believe there were that many armed guys at each, and this one has the same pants, belt, and rifle position. The pants look lighter, but the entire image had been artificially brightened.

riddler 0 #56 December 17, 2009 It took a while, but I finally found the video about "white men with guns". She did not say that only white men with guns were there, as I believe your statement implied. She was making a point that the president is black, and there are white men with guns. Your point would be much stronger if there were no white men with guns there, but there obviously were. Was it racist? I don't think so, anymore than you do - just some people that wanted to show support for the 2nd amendment. The reporter was obviously trying to fuel emotion in a story that wasn't really a story.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
