Another Conservative Lie Exposed Thanks to Kos

Another reason why you should discount anything Republicans, conservative columnists and talk show hosts (Patrick McIlheran, Charlie Sykes) and right wing bloggers (Jessica McBucher, Texas Hold 'em Blogger, etc.) tell you...

h/t Daily Kos

Howard Kallogian, a Republican candidate in the CA-50 special election, posted this picture, which he claims he took in Bahgdad:














He argues the picture is proof that Iraq is 'calm' and 'stable' contrary to press reports.

A few posters doubted this statement. One noted that the women were wearing western clothing, couples were holding hands and signs were in roman script.

Ah ha. It's discovered that the picture is actually of the Istanbul suburb of Bakirkoy...Turkey, not Iraq.
