The Passion of the Toys

In Platoon, Oliver Stone said the first casualty of war is innocence.

He was wrong.

As the photos here show, the first casualties of war are...the symbols of innocence. And photographers from Reuters and the AP just happened upon many of these perfectly placed symbols of war's horrors.

This last one is the only one that seems...untouched.

Feel the pathos. Mourn for these oh-so-photogenic and suspiciously dust-free trinkets of childhood.

Just don't ask any questions about their veracity.

That would be wrong.

Tax Relief, please post this as separate thread.


1) Man arrives with suitcase full of American toys and dismantles doll in pink dress.


2) Man carries dismantled doll, minnie mouse and teletubbie for placing in position.


3) Fauxtographers take pictures when props are in position.

Grandpa, I really have no solid proof that the third picture belongs in the sequence. I was just grabbing the photos on Yahoo! from that day. The first two definitely belong together and in that order.

You are more solid ground than the Islamfacist Fauxtographers and stagers.

However, if you look above the man's head in picture one, you can see the debris background for picture number three. There seems to be quite a bit of rearranging that occured prior to setting up the shot.

Let them worry about the arrangements. It was obvious what he was doing.

Unfortunately, there are untold millions in the US to whom this insult to intelligence is being successfully directed.

These so called photo-journalists are really pissing in the proverbial pot now.

Thank God for the FR and other sane forums for detection and dissemination of the massive BS-PR that's been growing unchecked in the MSM for years.

Image the change of perception if only those shots had AK-47's and RPG's launchers laying there instead...

Are there no decent, moral and patriotic photographers left in this world?

Isn't it great to watch another vile part of the MSM implode and start rotting like Blather and Mapes did!

Yes it is. I've e-mailed this thread and the other one to others in the blogosphere w/ bigger microphones than individual threads here - well see if it gets picked up. I think it will.

Thanks. I sent a few emails out yesterday to conservative talk show hosts and bloggers with what we had yesterday.

Hopefully this will be picked up and used next week with the ID ing of more doctored and set up faux photos.

It will be interesting to see how many of the Brown shirted left wing trolls that Richard Poe made us aware of, show up on Free Republic this weekend and next week to try and down play this implosion of the MSM with these Faux Photos.

The Cat is out of their bag, and the internet conservatives were hours if not days of ahead of the first damage control meeting and puny PR attempts by Rooters, AP and the NY Slimes.

A friend of our sons used to handle damage control for some major organizations. She is finding a new profession because of the internet. By the time she was called in to weave her PR magic, the world knew about the problem, thanks to the internet.
