Gaza Greenhouses

PG points us to an interesting blog post, which suggests the pictures of Israeli greenhouses in Gaza that Charles likes to show on LGF may not be all he claims.

Girlieman: LGF Publishes Fake Before and After Photos

Feel free to email us with more information on this.

again....wow.

Joe posted some fake pictures yesterday...

It was stated that they found a drug lab in a house of some drug dealers...

he posted of inside the room of the drug lab...but the original picture was of a room up the street!!!

Those drug dealers are painted so badly by Joe's propaganda....

(I hope you see the logic of this post)

Terrorists DID use greenhouses for smuggling, It does not terribly bother me if the greenhouse of the original picture was 3 miles away - the POINT is even if they used the sasme greenhouse....it would look EXACTLY THE SAME and is not the equivalent to photoshopping photos to alter the very point of the picture....

Get it?

Terrorists also lock entire populations into big 20 mile long 4 mile wide concentration camps.

So really, put things into perspective. I'm sure the Nazis thought the Warsaw getto uprising was a terrorist act as well.

Fewer and fewer people are buying your act, even in the United States. But hey, if you and Chuckie Johnson want to make your heads explode by hating on Muslims all day and all night long instead of you know getting laid, making money, drinking, doing all the things normal people do, be my guest.

The rest of us will have a good laugh about it.

Funny how the Killian memos and Bush going AWOL don't get that same logic treatment by the Liztards, yodaking.

Yodaking, neither you nor Charles know anything about the greenhouse
in the second picture. You don't know when or where the picture was taken. Many greenhouses were stripped by Israelis before leaving Gaza, and other greenhouses have been destroyed by the IDF. You don't even know whether the greenhouse in the second picture was one left behind by Israelis or Palestinian owned.

Charles put the two pictures together to lead the reader to believe that there was some connection between the two pictures. The only connection was that they illustrated a pre-existing prejudice in Charles' mind.

Charles loves posting links to polls which he thinks illustrate how depraved Muslim populations are in their support for terror.

Let's see how he responds to this poll which turns that view on its head.

Interesting question and response in a PBS Frontline interview with Hinderaker from the Powerline blog:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newswar/interviews/hinderaker.html

Frontline: Karl Rove commented about blogs: "There is so much ugliness and viciousness and fundamental untruth that the blogosphere transmits. It's a vehicle for ugly rumors, scurrilous personal attacks, an avenue for the creation of urban legends which are deeply corrosive of the political system and people's faith in it."

Hinderaker: ... People need to exercise some common sense and apply it, apply some critical thinking to what they read. That's true whether it's The New York Times or whether you're watching CBS News or whether you're reading a Web site. Unfortunately there are some sites where you have the lowest common denominator that prevails, and people are drawn to the sites simply because there's a lot of irrationality; there's a lot of hate. People who are likeminded in that respect can gather there and reinforce one another's prejudices and nutty ideas.

common sense, but one might apply that quote just as easily to Powerline, HotAir, or LGF as to their hated dailyKOS, Digg, or whatever else steams 'lizards'

Lame. Charles was simply illustrating how the greenhouses were used "before" and how there were used "after." That much is obvious to anyone with a brain (i.e. anyone who isn't a liberal). Stop fabricating outrage and get some real material.

You actually think "liberal" is an insult? What are you 12? Do you even know what liberal means?

Real simple question, the Killian memos were fake...does that change the point of the story?

second simply question, what's the visual difference between a photo of one greenhouse versus one 3 miles down the street?

(since people here are dense) you can answer the second question by looking at the "After" photo and compare it with the 'fake' "Before" photo....

LOL

GirlieMan said Many greenhouses were stripped by Israelis before leaving Gaza, and other greenhouses have been destroyed by the IDF. You don't even know whether the greenhouse in the second picture was one left behind by Israelis or Palestinian owned.

uh...the second photo was from the IDF, and yes it was a greenhouse left behind.

But hey, if you want to ignore that the Palestinians can't control terrorists within their midst...that's you're perfect right.

yeah, it's funny how the kids here don't understand that if even if it was a picture of a different greenhouse, it doesn't change the validity of the story, nor does it change it's point. The picture (actual greenhouse or not) would look EXACTLY THE SAME as the actual greenhouse.

These kids are comparing it to photos where the modification of them changes the WHOLE POINT of the story (i.e. fake memos, fake damage, fake weapons, etc)

funny these kids huh?
