Well whatever someone may find in a single picture here or there is not of much concern to me as the general theme of this rally was achieved. There were bigger rallies, there has been better music and there has been better comedy, but in whole it was a great peaceful rally with folks of all walks of life who came together and shared a day in the name of tuning out extreme rhetoric and instead embracing measured reason. I enjoyed it, I'm sorry I couldn't make it, and if others didn't care for it, then too bad.
Again, how much money is being used to restore the National Mall or is this issue some partisan controversy over how its socialism to have taxes pay for our national monuments?
Ooops! Why are you posting a picture from a different rally? Stewart's stage had a distinct wide white border up the sides and across the top - and there were fewer leaves on the trees.

Although a search turns up this Msnbcmedia.com is hosted by: Unknown Hoster
he IP 211.106.65.118 links to a server in Seoul-t'ukpyolsi, Korea. The company behind this all is KRNIC.

In Korea, as though no one would notice.
LOL!
Whoopsie, people who were there actually saw the Hitler signs;
and the signs they carried showed a decidedly left-wing bent: "I hope this isn't a trap," "I masturbate to Christine O'Donnell," "Communism was a red herring."
Most signs fit with the happy-go-lucky ethos of the rally, but others were crude. One sign had Hitler mustaches on pictures of Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, Glenn Beck and John Boehner. The message said, “Afraid yet?”
Hilarious - MSNBC now a Korean site!! Um........I'm just speechless. I think you might have made a couple mistakes in your "detective" work.
Who to believe?
Don't quit your day jobs to become detectives. Better look quick before MSNBC takes it down.
Look at the "hitler" pic right smack dab on the page.

Oh yes, that picture on MSNBC website, the republicans as Hitler, sure isn't extreme rhetoric and definitely can be viewed as measured "reason".

Need any more evidence?
So....I guess those signs really were there and why should that surprise anybody - we all know what the Left is like.

!!!! you're right.
The Supreme Court's columns are Corinthian, the Lincoln Mem's are Doric and the Korean ones are Ionic
So...you're accusing MSNBC of forging the picture?
I'm probably a johnny-come-lately on noticing this, but it looked like masses of people and no pond to break up the crowd! I asked my Dad about that and he said it must've been in front(or back, not sure) of Capitol Hill, and I do remember seeing Capitol Hill behind the stage. Whoever planned this rally sure was prepared for a whole LOT of people. Btw, kudos to Jon Stewart or his staff, whoever came up with the original idea of the "Restore Sanity" rally, and the event organizational skills of the entire staff was tremendous!
Like I said, the signs fit within Colbert's style. His was the rally to restore fear, right? The signs, and their words, indicate a humorous subversion of Stewart's "Restore Sanity", replacing it with "Restore Insanity."
And in another photo, it's a guy in a Nixon mask carrying one of those signs. It's mocking the Right's attempt to invoke fear with the silly technique of drawing a little mustache on politicians' photos.

But why should we fear Charlie Chaplin?
The Team Fear and Team Sanity signs were a hoot too

Like you said and were wrong.
There is no doctoring going on and those signs were in fact there, so now you come with a lame attempt to say...it was all in FUN,FUN,FUN!!
Just remember that when you see bammers as a nazi.

Care to go back and re-read where I said I had suspicions about the photo, but thought they likely could be real?
Anyway, like another said, the rally was fun and humorous, this thread was fun discussion of it, then the very thing the rally was a reaction to walked in.

As I pointed out, the sign in the foreground looked real and the one in the background looks fake, I still say it does, if it isn't then I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time. As to the link, well the link you just posted is not the link that you posted earlier, I know this because, well you can still click on them and look at the site of origin.
So you have surmised that because a handful of people carried satirical signs that the organizers of this rally endorsed extreme rhetoric?
So using your logic that a few people at an event of thousands constitutes the sum of that gathering, then Rand Paul is really a jack boot and endorsed violence, even though he actually denounced it? Is this what you are saying?
Are you saying that since Eric Rudolf bombed an abortion clinic that all Christians are mad bombers and murders?
Is that how life is Sanrene? If one or a handful of people at an event, an institution, or gathering are of a certain mindset that everyone at that event, institution or gathering is of that mindset as well? Do you realize how illogical and irrational that sounds?
So....I guess those signs really were there and why should that surprise anybody - we all know what the Left is like.
Yeah, funnier, cleverer, happier, prettier, and much better spellers than the right.

Maybe not forging, but touching up likely. That light is definitely wrong.
I'm pleased to see so many people at the National Gallery of Art, but far more disappointed that the picture wasn't a fake made at freerepublic -- I mean North Korea. *ahem* Korea.
But great if it had been
