Nancy Pelosi supports the troops–the Canadian troops, that is

By Michelle Malkin • June 22, 2007 01:05 PM

Oops, they did it again.

Last year, the DNC embarrassed itself with a website purporting to support US troops. Only one problem, as a sharp-eyed tipster told me: The soldier depicted in the patriotic display was Canadian.

Oopsy.

Looks like the Democrats are still using webmasters who don’t have a clue what American troops look like–and they are working in Nancy Pelosi’s office. McQ at Q&O has the screenshots (which are likely to disappear soon, if Pelosi’s staff is awake today). The one above comes from the front page of Pelosi’s official speaker’s website. Here’s the close-up of the soldier with “CANADA” on her epaulets:

Can the Dems get anymore snort-worthy?

Like Blackfive said in response to last year’s DNC website gaffe: “…how screwed up must you be to post about how much your party supports the troops, but not know who your troops are?”

Answer: Pretty screwed up.

@JWS… ROFL

As far as the article goes..

It’s the principle of the thing. This is not the first time that democrats have substituted Canadian soldiers pictures for US soldiers.

Lets face it, the chances of it being deliberate are pretty much zero. There are just idiots on the DNC and Pelosi’s web design teams. But that’s reasonable really when you consider who they work for.

@ notaslickfan post #166

Hollyweird HAS to make the uniforms incorrect. It’s the law. Unless the actors are actual members of the military and hold the ranks that they are playing in the movie.. then they are not allowed to wear the ‘real uniform’.

So they use uniforms that are ‘close’ but not exact as exact would be impersonating an officer, etc, etc.

Same thing with police and other law enforcment agencies.

I am NOT a fan of Hollyweird by any stretch.. but there would be alot of pissy people if George ‘I hate America’ Clooney wore a REAL uniform. I know I would be. You don’t wear the uniform if you don’t EARN it.

As much I’d love the opportunity to ridicule Pelosi, I doubt she’s to blame. I think the error is due to her ignorant webmaster, which says more about the pathetic state of education in this country than about anti-American liberals.

It is her site, and she is responsible for its content. Unless she has some disclaimer saying she is not responsible for stupid mistakes by her web team, she is to blame for whatever content is on there.

If she can’t be bothered being informed on what is on her site, how can she be thought to be responsible enough to run congress. Oh wait, that was a stupid question. Never mind.

I tend to think both. Overall, it shows remarkable incompetence. These are the people who think they are our overlords, yet they cannot tell the difference between the uniforms of our military and that of another country.

Tell me again about that 14 percent approval rating? How is it these bozo clowns keep getting re-elected?

Maybe all of the dhimmicrats should just move to Canada, since all things Canadian (especially health care) seem to be held in higher regard by these people than anything related to the US.

And, ideologically, the fit is better.

It’s a win-win…
I know I would feel better.

As a Canadian, sir, I would submit that it’s a win/win/lose situation. We have a long, uphill battle to wage to undo 13 years of Liberal Party government (full of the usual left-wing damage), but we are making progress. Please, find an occupation for your liberal lawmakers that does not include having them move to Canada.

For a conservative like myself, I would consider moving to the USA (which would also be a better fit, ideologically speaking), but it’s a long, expensive, tangled web of red tape to do it legally (oops, did I say that out loud?). I guess I’ll have to stay put and fight the good fight at home, or enter via a cut in the fence on Mexico’s northern border. I’m sure I could find work at Ms. Pelosi’s place.
