The GOP is busy. Busy editing pictures, that is.

They've decided it's a good thing to use a soldier watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas for their own purpose: to show how wanting to bring the troops home and perhaps keep a few alive is oh so very bad.

Poorly edited

What neither party has done—until now—is inject the idea that the other party is undermining our troops overseas. The RNC is pimping a mute and unnamed soldier not just to defend the Iraq war but to imply that Democrats are white-handkerchief-waving cowards who want the United States to lose.

Slate

This isn't the first time that the RNC has been involved with bad photo doctoring; back in 2004, a poorly Photoshopped image appeared in a Bush campaign ad.

My suggestion to the RNC: hire better graphics people AND stop watching those old propaganda films. They look silly now, as do yours.
