      Cut & Paste that is the tradition of Fox News.
      Mis-lead & Generate fear, That is what they Choose.
      Call Obama a Terrorist and a Non-American,that is their Way.
      Destroy his Presidency, that is the order of the Day.

      Speak truth to power.

      Faux and Drudge have gone hand-in-hand for years. This is hardly anything new. But, it's still worth documenting every time it happens.

      This brings a whole issue of copyright infringement. Which is serious business.

        So it would seem. I'm pretty sure those are not public domain images. Sure would like to see the photographer sue.

          It's the internet, just about everything has become fair game and public domain now...

          Yeah, I guess using that graphic would not have had the same impact as stealing the World Peace image.

          But, hey, I'm sure Matt Drudge and Fox Nation are BIG fans of World Peace!

      Bet you think "Obama waves the white flag" would be more apropos of the photo. Ha!! That's why you'll never work with the Einsteins at Fox Nation!
