Liberals apologize for the photos. Of course, these images weren't
created by the Liberal party and all entries for the photoshop contest were screened but the Jack Ruby photo somehow slipped through the cracks. Also, the cow picture was simply misinterpreted. And they only appeared
briefly. Sheesh.
Quote:
"It's important to keep in mind that the pictures are created by visitors to our website, and do not always reflect the views of the LPC," spokesman Daniel Lauzon said in an e-mail, noting the submissions were intended to be humourous. "That being said, offensive photos have no business on our site.
"Though we do screen the pictures before posting them, it appears the Lee Harvey Oswald picture slipped through the cracks — it has since been removed. We apologize to those who took offence to the image."

Here's
the note on the Liberal website:
Quote:
A note to all viewers:
We thank all participants in this photo challenge who have submitted their entries for consideration. Our intent was to engage Canadians concerned about the Prime Minister’s reluctance to attend the climate change conference in Copenhagen.
The photos here are created by visitors to our website, and do not always reflect the views of the Liberal Party of Canada. Though we continue to screen submissions before posting, we have removed certain images that may have been offensive to some viewers.
We apologize for any offence these images may have caused, and continue to strive to present a progressive and dynamic web experience for our site visitors.
Sincerely,
The Web Team
