Those photos from The Pledge To America

elfsDarryl challenged me to show that DailyKos had not cropped or elided the photos in the Republican Pledge To America to skew the results. So I extracted every photo that had people in it. You're welcome to look closely; the images embedded in the document are much higher resolution than in the Kos montage. The numbers are not sequential because some images were just hand-kerned text or photos of buildings and monuments. If you still doubt the veracity, you can read the document yourself.
The America that the Republican party is pledging to "bring back" is overwhelmingly one in which only white people do the important things. In whitewashed wooden buildings under sunny Midwestern skies. And on horses.
But Kos was wrong. There was one more person of color, unfairly cut from the photo set.
How dare they exclude Orange-Americans!
