1. You mean the guy who ran for Cunnigham's vacated seat
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 04:08 PM by BurtWorm
by trying to push an image of an ordinary Istanbul suburb as though it was Baghdad to claim that Bush's war was working and the media were exaggerating the level of violence?

2. Oh yeah, I remember this guy
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Howard_Kaloogian


It will take a bit more digging, but he is the guy who wrote about how everything is really very calm and peaceful in Bahgdad. And he posted pictures on his website to prove it. Problem was, the pictures turned out to be a street scene in Turkey!

4. Not only did he substitute a pic of Istanbul for Baghdad
He blamed a staffer when he was called out about the 'mistake.'

6. OK here's the Isyanbul thing
http://www.alternet.org/blogs/themix/34195/

or if you need something a bit more mainstream:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12071317/site/newsweek/

As usual, the error was blamed on a "staffer".

10. He was also the primary funding source for moveamericaforward.org
a shill for the Neocons and a reaction to the success of MoveOn.org.

He is also associated, I believe, with rightmarch.com, a similar pretend grassroots conservative effort.

http://theponderingamerican.blogspot.com/2006/07/rightmarch-pac-and-what-hell-is-really.html

He is a real self-serving snake in the grass.
