A good point. But it looks like the picture got pulled from the page that Island Dog referenced -- which means that he and other bloggers talked enough shit to make the DNC website get a little more honest.
I approve of that.
I'm even happy that this article got featured, any article showing how the 2 main parties engage in sleight-of-hand is kick ass to me. Even if my sympathies lie with the party skewered. Even if the link is to Michelle Malkin.
Nobody can realistically deny the two photos posted. All evidence is pointed to the fact that the DNC, for whatever reason, altered the photograph of the soldier in question. Of course, it was a black soldier -- that fits into the DNC paradigm just fine.
Then they got caught photoshopping. I'm not even well-versed enough in medals, etc., to know what they did to this person. What's clear to me, though, is that a photo was changed in order to make a point. That's bad business for anybody of any party on any day. No exceptions.
When I went to the part of the DNC site that this screen shot comes from, the soldier's face was replaced by a graphic of an American flag. Which means that Island Dog and his compatriots helped nip a lie in the bud. Good for them. Very good for them. That's what bloggers are here for, to eat lies up and spit out truth. Whether it is bloggers who showed the truth about Kerry's swiftboaters or bloggers who uncovered the lies about Dan Rather's report about Bush's National Guard service -- that's what blogs are for.
And I support that, even when it uncovers lies that might benefit the party I sympathise with. Because if my party are liars, then to hell with them. I want to vote for a party that tells the truth -- and we can all agree with that across the spectrum.
Good job, Island Dog, you might not ever hear it from me again. But this is a good catch, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Cheers.
