A Real "JOE" KICKED by GOP Supporter

McCain and Palin need to reel in their venom, because the next Joe that gets kicked, might not be so diplomatic! This is outrageous and immature of some GOP supporters.

I have so long been so unhappy with journalism of today (last 5-8 years) that I wasn't surprised at all.
Yes, you are right. When see movie like "Babe" or the commercial where it looks like a baby is talking, I realize that even a video can be faked, and one can literally put words in a pigs mouth. (I am referencing the movie "Babe", not a political candidate)
However, if someone doctors up a video, there is always a chance that someone has the original video, so it can be proven that the video was doctored.
Snopes doesn't have a problem exposing the photoshopped photos. (I guess it's not too hard to tell if a photo has been doctored. There is usually some tell tale sign)
I was able to find the FULL video from which ONE sentence was plucked and cut in half, and I am just an average everyday person with a computer. So trying to forge photos & videos will not be a good think for mainstream journalists to do, because they can so easily be called out on it.
However once the doctored photo, video etc is out there, people who WANT to believe it are going to believe it no matter what, even later when it is proven to be false.
I have posted over and over that Obamas's sentence was CUT IN HALF and plucked out of an entire paragraph, and yet there are still people crowing on about how Obama "mocked the plumber". And the LIARS in cyperspace depend on the big lie theory, if you tell a big enough lie . . .

your last paragraph is exactly 'why' though that sometimes the debunked photos and videos I mentioned in regards to the future elections (it's gonna get worse was my point) they still work.
I know many will disagree but what you're dealing with now with this video is what 'my side' has dealt with for months with McCain and Palin, esp Palin.
I agree - if he made it up.
I heard the "terrorist" and "traitor" but not the "Kill him". And I listened over and over for it and did not hear it.
I can see how someone would conclude that it was made up, since it is not audible on the tape, and no one else seems to have heard it. I thought the jeers of "traitors" and "terrorist" were bad enough tho'. And Palin seemed to eat it up.
I heard McCain saying something along those lines of they shouldn't say things like that, and then I heard him tell the lady about the Arab thing and speaking over the boos, and he should be highly commended for it.
And then his campaign sends out the robo calls trying to imply that Obama is a terrorist AFTER what McCain said and continued to run the TV ads.
But if I were a supporter of McCain and Palin, I would believe all these things were lies too, because it's all about winning, and nothing about what's good for the country as they encourage their followers to HATE others.
