Over at Gateway Pundit (I won’t link to the post), Jim Hoft posted a “comparison” of the Glen Beck and Stewart rallies. I already pointed out how the area of land photographed in the two pictures was completely different, and how, you know, there was a reflection pool in the middle of the Beck rally.

But then I looked at the pictures a little more closely, and I noticed an even more blatant example of dishonesty in those pictures. I’ll just copy and paste my post from there over here - if you want to look at the picture, it won’t be too hard to find.

Look at his comparison picture. Do you see that second building on the right? The one that looks like it has ridges, or is 4 smaller things coming out? The one that is halfway up the photo?

That’s the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. That building above it, with the circular thing on the roof, is the National Museum of the American Indian. On the left side of the photograph, you have the buildings of the the National Gallery of Art.

Why am I pointing these things out? Because, according to that little oval Hoft put in there to supposedly illustrate the area photographed, none of those buildings should be visible, let alone that high up in the photograph.

At the bottom right, you can see a bit where the road/path curves into the park. That would be in front of the Smithsonian Institution Building and the Museum of African Art.

That curve starts about 2 blocks closer to the Washington Monument than where Hoft says that picture ends.

Pretty pathetic attempt at manipulation there, Mr. Hoft.
