      You don't care that the Trump campaign is using fake news to make people re-elect him?

        No more so than the press using Obama era pictures of "kids in cages". Mistakes happen. I'm a bit more charitable with regards to that sort of thing than some others.

            We're not talking about the press, though. We're talking about a presidential election campaign.

            And sure, people do make mistakes, but Trump lies easier than putting on underwear in the morning; why should a reasonable person give him the benefit of the doubt in this specific case?

              And? The ad doesn't misrepresent the photo. It's simply contrasting peace with choas.

                  Okay... so how did the ad misrepresent the image? It didn't misidentify it or otherwise imply that it was something it wasn't.

                  So...

                      Who invented the phrase: 'Fake News?' He not only invented it. He is the overwheling source of 'Fake News.'

                        Trump Ad About ‘Chaos’ in U.S. Actually Used Photo From Pro-Democracy Rally in Ukraine

                        The 2014 image was from the revolution that ousted Russian-backed president Viktor Yanukovych

                        Yeah, I just saw that. The ironic thing is that the so called violent protesters in the image were in the right in their protesting the corrupt Russian backed Ukrainian police state. That police state is the very thing that Trump is trying to establish in this country. These images were probably used by the Russian backed Ukrainian Government at the time in order to make the patriotic freedom fighters of Ukraine look like common thugs just like the current Russian backed White House is doing in the US. So far it seems the American people, like the Ukrainians at the time, are not falling for the ruse, even though it may not seem that way on conservative sites like this.

                            Indeed.

                            You might even say that in Trump's ad, he's the one who represents chaos and violence.

                              Since you are accusing me of being spiritually blind and rebelling against God (you did read the context of that verse, right?) then why don't you open my eyes and explain how this is deceptive:

                              I look forward to your next reply, which will no doubt be sober and enlightening.
