Michelle Malkin has a hilarious post about the Democrats’ efforts to portray themselves as a party that supports military veterans. What is so funny about it is that along with their “We Support Vets” campaign they ran a picture of a soldier from Canada (in the picture above in the beret).
Michelle also reports that LGF found the source of the photo and it appears that a badge on the beret was removed with Photoshop.
I’m with Blackfive on this one: “how screwed up must you be to post about how much your party supports the troops, but not know who your troops are? ‘Embarassing’ hardly begins to describe this error.”
It is embarrassing to post a picture of another country’s vets as your own, but I think the picture of all the Democrats is almost as strange. The people in the picture pumping their fists in the air look like they just won the lottery (or since they are Democrats, just got some tax cuts repealed), rather than voicing support for their troops and vets. Check out the guy in the bottom left corner. When is the last time you saw a Democrat look that excited about supporting our troops?
Update: Michelle has updated to note the DNC has removed the soldier’s picture and replaced it with an American flag. A few readers noticed that the flag looks like it has been burned. It looks that way to me, too. I don’t know if that is the picture I would have chosen if trying to distract voters from the flag burners supporting my party.
I think I have figured out where the picture of the people above came from — a Democrat audience in a showing of the Bush assassination movie. Actually a commenter, Dave, says that LGF reader Cattt discovered it is a stock photo.
Update II: Hot Air says the DNC didn’t do the photoshopping themselves.
Laura Lee Donoho thought the picture of the people they chose to use was strange, too.

Perhaps all the focusing on Mr. Foley has distracted Dem’s attention from “The Troops.”
Or, perhaps they couldn’t find a picture of a North Korean.
In any event, the world still turns, and busy adults in the Administration have to attend to a few emergent matters today, even if others only have to indulge their fantasies, and grudges.
These UN-AMERICAN blood farts are so brain dead they didn’t even think to put up a picture of their “WAR HERO” Fraud Kerry the Traitor. Those are the ones the Democrats worship and support.
Who says they’re Democrats? All they’re even supposed to be is a “Large Crowd of People Cheering and Raising Their Fists.”
That is the democrat perpetual fraud for ya. It never ends and they never have to worry about being called on it thanks to their partners in the Media. Democrats just like Hollywood Movies are not real. They are a complete fantasy and sick performance by despicable dishonest people. That is all.
Until the Dems can bog down our soldiers in an unwinnable war with no exit strategy, not enough troops, not enough armor, and make them stay like sitting ducks as they get picked off by enemies in the ‘last throes’ of an insurgency, they are just amateurs blowing smoke.
Dems: Republican-lite.
That’s a gorgeous photo Lorie.
What picture? The canadian soldier or the crackpots waiting for something with their mouths wide open?
Bubba must have made an appearance.
When will US soldiers come up to Canadian standards?
