So does my evaluation of your credibility.

Feel free to have whatever opinion of me and my honesty and my credibility that you want to have; what you've said in this paragraph is a lie. If you actually read the Snopes article that surrounds that picture, you'll see that it was 800 to 1000 high school students from a mostly hispanic high school who were protesting for immigration reform. They were responding to other students' walkout over proposed immigration reform legislation. They came to the campus of this other high school--which went on lockdown--and did this to their flagpole. The student (note the singular) who did it was disciplined, and the incident blew over, except for this picture, which became conservativefodder.
But hey, by all means, do what Bill O'Reilly does and spin that picture as evidence of some massive culture-war conspiracy. It isn't honest OR credible, but as long as you keep that finger firmly pointed at others, nobody'll probably notice.
