Voters Betrayed!

In the 2004 Presidential election, the following photo was pictured on major broadcasting stations:

I chose this picture because it is just like the political world of America today to attempt to deceive the voters of this country at any cost. Regardless of whether or not Kerry was a good choice for president, there is no excuse for falsely slandering his reputation, and putting him where he does not belong.

In the photo, Jane Fonda is speaking at an anti-Vietnam War protest and it appears that Kerry is sitting right alongside of her waiting to speak next. This photo is in fact a composition of multiple photos.

The major part of the photo, Jane Fonda's speech, was taken at a political rally in 1972 against the Vietnam War. John Kerry, is very conveniently inserted into this background after being taken from his original photo at a Register for Peace Rally held in 1971.

The manipulation of the two photos was done because while Kerry was campaigning as a war hero and a proud supporter of the U.S. military, a Bush supporter wanted to make it seem as if he was a hypocrite and therefore lose the favor of the populace.

This conjunction of the photos could have proven extremely harmful had the truth not been discovered. Attempting to mask a politician as a hypocrite when he is not (at least in this case) is a major crime especially when the presidential election is hanging in the balance.
