Some of you may have heard about or seen videos of the celebration outside the White House on Election Night, and how some crazy liberals were waving a Soviet flag. In truth, it was a hoax on the part of the Young America's Foundation, a conservative campus group. At left, note the photo of the two young men holding the flag. Next, note the profile of the one on the far left. Note especially his groups, including "Young America's Foundation at the George Washington University."Some have wondered why, even if it was a hoax, no one confronted the flag-wavers. The simple answer is that the mood was too positive. The flag-wavers were laughed at and ignored, even when they aggressively chased after the cameras.

How is that picture conclusive evidece? First of all, in the clip I saw on YouTube you couldn't see the face of the person carrying the flag. Check it out:

Second, there is no way to verify that this photo even came from the same event. There is no evidence of a crowd around him.
Do you have a link to another video that clearly shows the face of this same guy carrying the flag at the same event?
