From the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” department

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on June 30, 2008 at 10:43 pm

USAF vet and ofttimes embedded blogger Jeff Emanuel reports on the latest Democrat “mix-up” on using images of foreign troops. This time it’s anti-war Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-FL) who mistakenly used an image of a Soviet WWII veteran in a “pro-troop” flyer distributed in May.

As Gateway Pundit points out, this is not the first time Democrats have accidentally used images of foreign troops (as well as faux photos of cheering “Democrats”) when attempting to show how they support American troops. One would think with as defensive as some of these folks get over accusations that they don’t support the military that the least they could do would be to make sure the images they use in the political advertising designed to overcome that perception are actually US troops.

Is that really too much to ask??

      Since it seems that most liberals are “scared of guns”, and insecure in their own metrosexuality, the thought of having to closely scrutinize images of heterosexual males, many of whom are holding weapons, sends them quickly to their fainting couches!
      Little wonder they grab the first picture they can find, irrespective of nationality.

      That’s no mixup, ST. They still pine for the old Soviet Union.

      I’m with Steve, there was no mixup. – Lorica

      Troops, schmoops, who cares what side they’re on? The important thing is to support them, right comrade? Now where’s that NVA anti aircraft gun, so I can get a photo op sitting in it?
