The diarist Troutnut over at DailyKos exposed a campaign ad by the Clinton campaign that made Obama's debate footage darker than it actually was, while stretching the shot to widen his face. Now to be fair to the Senator's campaign, this isn't the first time that a campaign advertisement has doctored images to make their opponent look bad (even though no matter when it's done it is a shameful practice). She could have denounced the ad as a mishap or fired someone for it, but instead they decided to lie about it.
From FoxNews (of all places):
Despite the strong similarities between the ad on the DailyKos site and the original ad on Clinton’s Web site, Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said he spoke with the campaign’s chief ad maker, Mandy Grunwald, who said emphatically the ad on DailyKos "was not their ad."
"We don’t know what is up there, but it is not our ad," Carson said.
Not your ad Mr Carson?
Why don't you look at that photo from your website and come up with another answer, perhaps using something called 'truth.' It'd be a nice start for you guys.
