Right wing blog fails at comparison pic between Beck and Stewart crowds
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/10/beck-crowd-versus-stewart-crowd-photo-comparison/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gatewaypundit2+(Gateway+Pundit)&utm_content=FaceBook

Here is the larger version of the pic.


Im no photo expert. But look at the bottom how the map is zoomed in for the location of the Beck rally. This gives it a bigger circle than the more zoomed out map of the stuart rally. It also appears that the beck picture is stretched just a little while the stuart rally is compressed slightly. Regardless, anyone who was there or anyone who watched on TV the mythbusters do the wave knows that this pictures are bullshit.

7. That is the WWII Memorial not the Monument
the Washington Monument would be close to where the pic was taken

8. You can tell by how stretched out the Lincoln Memorial looks
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 10:10 PM by starroute
That picture makes it look taller than it is wide. But it's actually about twice as wide as it is tall -- suggesting that the entire image is stretched by X2.



On edit: And in the second picture, the Capitol is so squeezed that its dome looks like a steeple.

9. It actually looks like he cut/pasted to make the beck rally look bigger...
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 10:17 PM by Ian David
It looks like the Glenn Beck rally photo was faked, sort of like this...



... that *I* just faked in less than five minutes.
