I think you should let it go, Pols. These photos are in circulation, and they may be used by anyone with a license. There is nothing that says these can only be used in stories about the Aurora tragedy. If that was the rule, there are probably hundreds of misused photos of George Bush and other Republicans out there.
There is no law against it, and we weren't implying anything other than our own disgust that these pictures would be used for other stories. It's not that hard to figure out where the picture is from, and then find a different picture instead. Photoshopped images of Gov. Bill Owens after Columbine would be just as innapropriate. It's wrong no matter who does it.
But……………only one side does do it.
It says a ton about the people low enough to use this material, and just as much about those who defend it.
Anger never looks pretty, but the gunzos have brought the ugliness to a new level.
Kind of flies in the face of the boasts that they're "winning the argument". This stuff is what somebody uses as a last resort, not when they're resonating.
Just because something may be used doesn't mean a decent human being should use it. But it's no surprise. We are quite used to the right being the simple human decency free zone.
Go easy on him BC. He's a Republican. He doesn't understand the concepts of "good taste" or "respecting the dead." He and others of his party lump it all under the rubric of "political correctness."
Yes. I remember well when objecting to Michelle Obama being portrayed as a gorilla or the WH lawn as a watermelon patch in rightie cartoons was just a matter of them liberals making a fuss over PC and not racist at all. All in good fun. Can't take a joke? yadyadyada.
Remember that story about how watching Fox News makes you less informed than watching no news at all? Misusing photos like this plays to the biases of the average Fixed News viewer I just ran accross this piece on CNN's website. It explains a great deal. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/01/27/opinion/frum-fox-news-anxiety/index.html?hpt=hp_t5
