OMG, where's Peter Sellers when you need him?

=====================================================

-- Wouldn’t a birth certificate from the 1960s have the father’s race as “Negroid” or “Black”, not “African”? I mean, the mother’s race is listed as “Caucasian”.

-- It’s fishy.


-- Barak's is compressed a lot more in the jpeg format than yours.

Barak:
1024x1000=1,024,000
compressed size: 113118
ratio: 9.05

yours:
1021x851=868,871 pixels
compressed size: 296015
ratio: 2.94

Also, your image has large white areas which are almost infinitely compressable, so the compression ratio of the "interesting" sections is probably closer to 2.7.

Additionally, yours is a black&white image, so no color information has to be saved. Barak's is full color, so three times the data has to be saved.

Go back and compres yours to about 90,000 bytes and then compare the images. That still won't handle the color difference, but it will start showing what you lose in compression.




I LOVE THE SMELL OF REPUBLICAN DESPERATION IN THE MORNING!!!

[JuniperLea]

1. Negroid?

Jaysus Mahry an Joseph!

Um... the man was from Africa. I think that makes him African.

[TalkingDog]

5. I'm Series!

Yeah, go figure. They are too ummmmm....calling them stupid would be an insult to stupid folks.... shortsighted to do even a LITTLE research????

[EFerrari]

6. Shhhh!

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

15. They've got those tucks pads to take care of those these days!

Oh wait, that was a racist slur! Gee mee!

[PBS Poll-435]

28. Teresa Heinz-Kerry is from Africa ...

Just sayin'

[bluestateguy]

2. They are trying to relive the magic of '04 and the Killian memos

nt

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I'm lost, what were the Killian memos?

[LeftyMom]

4. Negroid? Was this from FR or Stormfront?

Well, I guess it's an upside if they're giving up the code words and letting everybody know that they're racist fucks.

[JuniperLea]

8. Yep

That's nearly as good as having RACIST tattooed across their foreheads.

[bperci108]

14. From Wikipedia:

..."The term Negroid is commonly associated with outdated notions of racial typology which have been widely discredited in scientific circles<1> — for modern usage it is generally associated with outdated racial notions, and is discouraged, as it is potentially offensive.<3> Though the term "Negroid" is still used in certain disciplines such as craniometry and epidemiology, its usage is in decline. Even in a medical context, some scholars have recommended that the term Negroid should be avoided in scientific writings because of its association with racism and race science.<4> This mirrors the decline in usage of the term Negro, which fell out of favor following the campaigns of the American civil rights movement — the term Negro became associated with periods of legalized discrimination, and was rejected by African Americans during the 1960s for Black.<3>"

I'd heard the term used in the scientific sense back when I was in college, mainly from my Physical Anthropology professor, (disclaimer: this was back in the 80's and I know he wasn't a racist.) So, go figure. :shrug:


Not that the drooling goons over at FreepTardLand would qualify under any sort of "scientific" aegis, mind you.... ;)

[Wiley50]

22. No, they're just Freepoids n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. Let me guess...

"It's a 'shop. I can tell from the pixels and from seeing quite a few 'shops in my time."

[K8-EEE]

9. Another Sherlock FR thread on the same subject:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2032572/posts

"The "Certificate of Birth," which I will call "COB," is posted on the Kos website as a color JPG. The reason for making it a color JPG, IMHO, is to induce the viewer to believe that this is a genuine copy of an original document -- something that a black & white, or even greyscale, reproduction would not convey as well."

LOL!!! The Freeper "expertspeak" is cracking me up......

[K8-EEE]

13. Cracks me up , genius compares his "real" NY State birth certificate

With Obama's Hawaii one, they're GASP!!! DIFFERENT!

Um, DUH!

[Feron]

10. These morons ignore the obvious..

If Obama were not qualfied to run due to birth, it would be terribly hard to cover up.

McCain supporters/Republicans aside, certainly Hillary or one of the other Democratic contenders would have used that information in their campaign if it were true. Or leaked it to the press if the press hadn't already discovered it.

Of course then there is also the issue of silencing and paying off all of those in the know.

Talk about grasping at straws.

[PatGund]

23. It's not just the freepers.....

NoQuarter and the rest of the PUMA idiots are eating this stuff up.

I find it funny that nobody is actually, oh, I dunno, ordering one FROM the State of Hawaii to verify it. There's always the chance that it might prove them wrong I guess....

[Cheap_Trick]

11. fuck, won't the freeps do something useful with their lives?

like choke on vomit. (theirs or someone else's, I don't care)

[King Bacon Fat]

12. I've heard of being desperate...

but this is simply ridiculous.

[CatWoman]

16. ROFL!!!!!

That's a very entertaining thread they got going over there :rofl:

[BattyDem]

17. "Barak"

:eyes:

[Fleshdancer]

18. Negroid? SERIOUSLY????

Um...yeah. Because people from Africa weren't considered African in the 1960's, that would be WEIRD! You know what else is WEIRD?? There's no mention of the slave ship that his father came to America on either! I mean, this WAS the 1960's!!!! Shouldn't Obama's slave master's name be on the certificate too? Certainly every negroid in the 1960's had a slave master!

:wtf:


When I rule the world, stupidity will be physically painful.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

21. The word construct "negroidal"...

Is currently very popular with the racists.

[tkmorris]

19. Wouldn't a Freeper BC from the 60's state "Mongoloid"?

Negroid. Sheesh.

[K8-EEE]

20. LOL....PLUS....

"Barak" is suspiciously spelled "Barack" on the COB!! COB -- that means "certificate of Birth" if you missed the FR explanation. LOL.

[K8-EEE]

24. What if he was born in KENJA!

"If by chance Obama was born in Kenja by his natural born U.S. Citizen mother it does not make Obama a "Natural Born Citizen" It only means he is a citizen of the U.S."

:eyes:

[JackBeck]

25. Man, these folks are a one-note choir.

And they still haven't come to term with the fact that even though the memo from Rathergate may have been fake, the facts stated in the memo were supported by many sources to be the truth: Bush was a no-show on American soil.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. They're trying for another Dan Rather. Fail. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

27. They mention "negroid" but not "caucasoid"?

Assholes.
