How the Dems Support the Troops
Remember that photo at the top of The Democratic Party’s page, of a crowd of people cheering and pumping their fists? The theme is that only the Democrats really support the troops, and this is the page where they previously featured a faked image of a Canadian soldier.
Well, the irony doesn’t stop there, because that crowd photo doesn’t even show a real group of people genuinely supporting the US military. It’s another stock image. (Hat tip: Raymond.)
Note the keywords. Several other bloggers have remarked that the crowd picture seemed oddly out of sync with the page’s theme—now we see why.

the left is playing word games
"our troups" to them does NOT mean the US military. "Our Troups" mean the anti war protesters, the smelly hippies, the hedonism politics, the tree huggers.
The LAST person a democrat supports is the USA Military of "our troops"

Red poppies are sold by the VFW on Vet's Day, 11/11. Is that what you are referring to?

Yup, but I thought it was more of a British/Canadian tradition.
Regardless, it's pathetic that the RATS would use a Canadian soldier on their website. I guess, they thought it would be better since the soldier (being Canadian)will probably never know about it. And then he won't bring a lawsuite against them. Hopefully, he will find about it and take them to court.

I guess they had to use a stock photo of a crowd, because all the pictures of democrats that support the troops look like this:
