There’s a picture going around of Hillary sitting in her parent’s house with a glimpse of a confederate flag in the background.
It makes for a great gotcha if it wasn’t photoshopped – which it is. (Original Life magazine pictures HERE.)
Earlier today a reader sent it in (which I appreciate, by the way), but I usually like to do a little research before posting something “too good to be true.” As an agitpropist my radar goes off. I did a little googling. We passed on it, even while I was thoroughly impressed.
Sometimes we make the decision to post the fake imagery anyway because we want the candidate to have to respond, and if they don’t handle it right, or quickly enough, it becomes truth. It’s part of the political war, and it’s fun.
There are two types of agitprop, and I’ve engaged in both,
Type one is “pure” agitprop. That’s where you do something that is designed to embarrass your political opponent and you create it and send it out into the ether anonymously hoping it becomes part of the visual lexicon. Here’s an example. This image has been used EVERYWHERE, and it’s posted matter-of-factly now. This is what Hillary looks like up close, case-closed. She has ruddy thick skin, gin-blossoms, bloodshot eyes, deep purple bags, age spots, and is clearly not fit to be president. Old, weathered, tired, in poor health and possibly with a drinking problem? We need a healthier person in the white house in these troubled and demanding times.
Well done BigFurHat. Nicely played.
Type two is satirical ridicule, which is not intended to be “real.” But a funny thing happens on the way to the forum, sometimes PEOPLE TAKE OFF YOUR CREDITS (which would signal to the reader that the piece is “art”) and it begins showing up on blogs as non-satire.
Oh well, this is the price sites have to pay when they use imagery scrubbed of their credits.
I have no idea which type the Hillary picture above is, type one or two. But if an artist got humped out of his credit (for instance, if this was part of a People’s Cube parody that some moron stole and stripped of its logo) the right has no one else to blame but themselves if they’ve been made to feel foolish for “falling for” the parody.
STOP STRIPPING OFF CREDITS and we won’t get hooked like a big fish.
I saw it on Dinesh’s website, but I didn’t read to see if he thought it was real or not. I’ve also seen it all over facebook with a couple of blogs putting their “LIKE US” tag to it. LMAO.
Y’all… Really? Come on. We’ve seen Hill’s circus pants pic a million times. You mean to tell me no one noticed the Confederate flag before? LoL.
At the very least… Drag the pic into google images. You’ll hit on the original.
This is all over Instagram. I thought about forwarding it here but didn’t consider it all that monumental.
I used to have a similar pair of pants. But I only wore them once because I retired them after winning first prize in a contest.
BTW, why are her legs open like that? lolol
I 0bamavoted your comment twice. lol
She was doing the “man spreading” thing before it was cool and then became banned. Hmmm…….. maybe there is a valid reason for it being banned.
It’s actually a crime now on the NYC subways. Maybe the perps in the case linked below can use this picture as a defense:

Hillary and her pants. That pair is particularly disturbing because the linearity appears to draw the eye toward a zone no man in his right mind would ever consider encountering. Webb and Uma on the other hand maybe ain’t so picky.
No flag –
Haha! Good one!
Oh man! That’s a good one!
“Big Fur Hat, longtime, closet Hillary Clinton supporter, was found to have photoshopped the Confederate flag out of a youthful photo of the object of his latent desire, and flooded the Internet with the scrubbed version, in order to decoy conservative critics away from her racist family past…”
Shoulda ‘shopped an eyeball in there at the linear convergence. Or, better still, a set of teeth.
P.S. – Nice pun!
Fur, you are always talking about people ripping off others images, This is a good example. If they can’t take off the tag, they just seal the idea.

“Planes fly in and planes fly out and never touch a h***…………………….”
Isn’t like she was from Arkansas anyway. She is from a well off liberal family and I’d hardly think they would ever have the stars and bars anywhere in their home. Just wouldn’t go right with the decor.
It still makes me dizzy
She’s from Illinois and married into Arkansas white trash.
She wore the circus pants on purpose.
It’s a trick she learned in Women’s Studies.
The idea is to draw attention away from her worst feature…
the round thing at the top of her neck.
As far as concerns Mrs. Clinton’s choice of flags, I would expect a Swastika, not the “Stars and Bars.”
Because her mind is closed.
MJA, haven’t had time to check the wiki for the facts, but i think she was awarded a full ride scholarship on the golf team … or maybe SOCCER!!!
hell, i’m just glad you didn’t colorize hitlery’s pants
