    I like the way anonymous internet posters try to give their credentials to prove their case.

    I am the inventor of Photoshop and can say conclusively this was photoshopped... please...

    I just saved the picture on my computer then opened it in photoshop. It's an absolute certainty that it's altered and it's a terrible job. They weren't trying to hide that it was altered. The interesting thing is that it's not just the sign with the red letters that was pasted on to the other sign, but some parts of the sign with the black letters was altered too.

    Also, the guy who appears to be holding the sign, isn't. His hand has clearly been altered.

    My best guess is that entire sign, both parts, has been cut into the image.

    After another look, I think the altered parts of the black letter sign were to mark out whatever the sign originally said, before they put in their own slogans.

    I'm not as experienced as you are with PS, but it doesn't look like a terrible job when I did that. it looks pretty good IMO, but it still looks like a job.

    I'm betting that only the words and the lower portion of the sign were shopped in. the top portion of the sign itself looks legit.

    it can't be real. It is a liberal socialist sign full of hate and zealotry. Only the right, conservatives, and teapartiers are full of hate and violence like that...:rolleyes:

    Well, when you consider who would have done the photoshopping in an effort to stir up a **** storm....:D

    That's why I said it was altered. I'm a liberal socialist plant. True is true. If you abandon that for dogma you're a....well, a liberal socialist full of hate and zealotry.

    I do not like to see anyone alter the actual photo to make someone look worse than they actually are. However, what really makes my blood pressure rise is to see illegal aliens being able to freely demonstrate and picket and make demands of the US or the states or the cities. The only rights that they should have are human rights and those include not being clubbed and beaten while they are being rounded up and deported back to wherever they originally came. Just my two cents.
