Bush Campaign Replaces Ad That Had Doctored Images

MIAMI, Oct. 28 - President Bush's campaign said Thursday that it was replacing one of its closing advertisements after acknowledging that it included an image that had been doctored to increase the number of soldiers appearing to listen to Mr. Bush.

The abrupt move came after a liberal Web log, DailyKos, featured a posting showing that the same faces appear several times in several different places within the same crowd shot. Democrats pounced on the issue, saying that the advertisement underscored their contention that the Bush administration had repeatedly deceived the American people.

Didn't the Nazis used the same propaganda technique...


...to make it appear that Hitler was addressing larger crowds?

I knew you'd post this some time today.

They wanted to move him over in the picture, and they filled in the space he left with images from other parts of the picture.

It won't affect anyone's vote, it was not intellectually dishonest, and I can't believe it's even an issue.

No wait, yes I can. It's Bush.
