The "White Flag" Internet ad the GOP has been running at the RNC website ends with the view of a soldier from behind, appearing to watch Democrat politicians talk about how the Iraq War is going badly or can't be won.The photo used in the ad is two years old, and the soldier was actually watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (left).
Sound familiar?
Back in the 2004 campaign, President Bush's ad people doctored a photo of troops for a campaign ad for the President. The "Whatever it Takes" ad duplicated soldiers' faces to make it look like there were more in the crowd than there really were. (Slate)
