Actual protesters are getting so slim that Code Pink has to steal images from other protests just to make themselves look relevent. How sad and pathetic.
Here's the merging of the Code Pink image (top) and an original photograph (bottom) of pro-freedom Iranian demostrators. Not only did Code Pick steal the image, it changed messages on signs...because pro-freedom messages aren't at all helpful to Code Pink's cause.
Interesting. This group of self-proclaimed "freedom of speech" advocates have essentially robbed this person of their right to speak and instead have forced their own message onto her image. It's Orwellian. The image went into the Ministry of Information one way and came out with the "proper" message inserted for digestion by the masses.
Here's the statement issued by Alliance of Iranian Women:
The Alliance of Iranian Women protests the actions of the Code Pink activists who have distorted the legitimate struggle of Iranian women, for their human rights, to suit their own political and ideological agenda.
The top part of the picture is what the A.N.S.W.E.R coalition/Code pink activists, have photoshopped the top part of the photo (below), out of the original photo, shown in the bottom. First, they have mixed the picture of some western women to the original Iranian women’s picture. Then, not only they have made up slogans, in pink placards, they have even doctored the courageous gaze of the Iranian heroine into a Cheshire cat grin. The real sign in the back, in the original picture below, is calling for equal justice, not the irrelevant Arabic writing. The young woman in center of the photograph is holding a white sheet in her hand that reads: “We are the children of Cyrus, the pioneers of human rights,” not JOIN US. Also the girl, on the right holding the large sign was not a part of this demonstration; she is yet from another photo taken last year at the Tehran University sit-in that was in protest against the Islamic Regime paramilitary stations around the University campus. Her sign in the original picture read: “This space belongs to us”, not HOW MANY LIVES PER GALLON?
All we ask is: if you do not support us do not use us for your own political games and maneuvering.
Hats off to Publius Pundit for uncovering this laughable photoshoppery. Code Pink is now pretending this never happened.
Tim Blair thinks there might be a very good reason Code Pink is using the images of beautiful, pro-freedom, Iranians instead of pictures of their own membership.
Code Pink: Yet another example of how the left in this country has become a cruel joke.
