3. Nope

Deliciously funny, but it's shopped. It's been debunked repeatedly on DU these past few days, but I'm not criticizing you for not having seen it yet...unlike those who will see fit to ridicule you for your 'ignorance.' You know it's coming.

4. Actually, it's an EarlG creation!

Origin of this picture was his creation...then it went viral from here. So successful, that people started wondering if it was real or not...Snopes debunks it, but doesn't credit DU with its origin.

It took us a while to determine that this was a photoshop spoof and not some lucky photographer's brilliant catch, as the Democratic Underground poster who made it did a fantastic job. But if you take a look at the original photo, you'll see that the little boy with glasses was wearing the O shirt.

7. I saw that debunk at Snopes

and wonder if we should start a mini-campaign to let Snopes know where the origin of the photoshop is.

Good idea, yeah?
