Congratulations Code Pink, You're Today's Far Left Anti-American Photo Fakers

***UPDATE 2:17CT*** The sites I said weren't working, are now, with the exception of LGF.
It seems like a weekly event that we are seeing these sorts of things from these far left groups, and Code Pink decided it was their turn. Publius Pundit, who seems to have spearheaded this, sent me this link on the situation, but for some reason their site is down. Wanting to learn more I did a technorati search and came to the Swanky Conservative, who's permalink seems to be down too, just that link though, their index is fine. Odd thing is they were linking to Little Green Footballs as the other one out in front on this, and they were down when I tried to follow the link, and are still as I type this. Does code pink have some hackers out there attacking those who busted them? Wouldn't it be easier to take down their photo fakery instead?

Anyway, here's what happened... The insanely left anti-war, anti-American, anti-sanity Code Pink has taken a photo of Iranian women protesting the Islamic regime before Iran's presidential elections last year, and photoshopped it to use for their own anti-Iraq war purposes... What do Iranian women protesting an Islamic regime have to do with Iraq, you ask? Good question. Since none of the "busters'" sites were working, below are the before and after I obtained from Michelle Malkin.
Before (real):


After (fake)

So again, who does this group think they are using unrelated people for their own political gain, to further their unrelated agenda? Again this is just one of many, but a particularly disgusting example of one of these fringe groups pulling this crap.

Remember Moron.org (typo?) getting busted using British troops in an ad about bringing American troops home. Later trying to cover it after getting busted, they went as far as to try to (poorly) photoshop the still image on their site, to add pants to someone wearing shorts. The ad was pulled, but I just noticed that it's still available from the web site today! (although the photoshopped still isn't). Don't you love how they show the image of the Brits right when they say "...a hundred and fifty thousand American women are stuck in Iraq... Anyway, if you didn't catch that story, those links have all the pics and such, to fill you in.

Anyway, back to Code Pinks offense... It's unacceptable, period. But I don't understand why they messed with the woman's mouth? It looks like the same eyes, etc. to me.. but they made her mouth really weird. I'm no photoshopping pro, and don't have any great software or anything, but it looks like they created some weird mouth simply using Windows paint or something. Anyway, the girl from the original is actually not bad looking, but I don't know what they were attempting to do to her... other than misrepresent who she and the crowd with her are.

Unfortunately for Code Pink (we have established they are none too bright about these type of things), they have not even had the foresight to remove the original thumbnail picture next to the link to the petition on their homepage. It still has the old photoshopped picture there.

Humorous, isn’t it?
