Democrats Website uses photoshopped picture of Soldier

Check this out. It appears that the DNC is using a photoshopped picture of a Canadian Soldier on it's webpage about Veteran's and their failies who they claim they support.

As a former soldier and know a disabled vet this really ticks me off, but I am far from surprised. I plan on sending this story to every vet and service member I know so they can see how the D party really cares about them. I urge every reader to do the same.

1. TrueSoldier -

Here is a more definitive explanation about the photo. The photographer photoshopped it in order to sell it on iStockPhoto due to their policies.

That said, regardless of the DNC's message, it is incredibly stupid to post a piece about how bad OUR troops are being treated and using the picture of a soldier from a DIFFERENT COUNTRY.

If they can't even recognize a soldier from our country, how can we trust that they can recognize an enemy of our country?

Just look at whose rights they want to protect.
Most of them seem very worried about the rights of terrorists. But can't even recogize an American uniform.

3. The funny thing is, this is not the first time the Dems have mistakenly used photos of other country's soldiers! the last one I saw was where they were running some ad using british soldiers wearing a type of shorts that our guys never wear. It was hilarious!

4. The DNC page has been updated. The foreign soldier has been replaced by a picture of the flag. Michelle Malkin's site has the story.

5. From Malkins site:

Ed Morrissey:
Does anyone at the DNC know what an American soldier looks like? They accuse the Republicans of hiding behind the flag all too often. This appears to be a much more blatant example than anything I've seen from the GOP.

Indeed.

They still don't know what an American soldier looks like, so they hide behind the flag instead....
