Appropriately titled "Whatever It Takes", the new BC04 ad uses Bush's convention acceptance speech, stirring music, and images of dedicated troops and families in the heartland. As astutely noted by mikellanes in this thread:

It also uses Photoshopped images to turn a small crowd into a large one cover over Bush at a podium:

LOL I always liked playing 'Where's Waldo'!

PS: Do they really think we are so dumb we wouldn't notice?

I got news for BushCo:

We are watching YOU[/SIZE]!

Turnabout is fair play! LOL

Aaron Brown ran this story on CNN tonight (and boy, was I ever surprised about that!). I was standing across the room and just glanced at the picture and knew, before he even said it, that it was photoshopped!!!! sheesh Problem is, there's a great many Bush supporters who don't even know what "photoshopped" means. But maybe they're learning. I hope.

Yeah it is.Photoshop like everything else has a down side if misused,and when engaging in the dirtiest game(politics),nothing seems off limits.
