Conservative Web site claims hardcore pornography from U.S. is being used as anti-American propaganda in Arab countries From WorldNetDaily: "Graphic photos appearing on Arabic websites of U.S. servicemen raping and sexually abusing Iraqi women were actually taken from American and Hungarian pornography sites." ...Just another day in the 21st century, it seems. (via Fleshbot) (NSFW, as if you need to be told)

The NSFW should be after, before or generally, right next to, the NSFW link.

Yes. And it's hardly 'obvious' given that the title link might as well link to a valid news article.

The WorldNetDaily -- the information source for those who think that NewsMax and Free Republic are run by left-wing pussies.

Hey, it may be on a right-wing hack site, but it is probably true. Some American porn pictures have shown up on Mefi lately (the "albasrah" link), and any agitprop machine worth its salt could figure that connection out. Shit, American propagandists tried to link Saddam to 9/11. Is this more bold and wacky than that? If Scaifevomit.com is actually claiming that the Abu Graib torture photos aren't legit, then that's nuts, but I don't exactly get that from the story.

I've seen the GI "rape" pics on random livejournals after browsing the last 30 pics published. You could tell they were staged, just straight away. Yeah, I was researching - that's right.

Pretty much all of the left-wing political sites I've scanned have said the same thing: 'have you seen these pictures? they can't be genuine, can they? no, they're from this site...' So, they're not legit. WND got that right. (But if anyone says that it's only conservatives pointing this out, they're wrong.) One could make the political point that once there's a spark, it's far too easy to stoke up the flames. But I'm more disturbed by the fact that it wasn't done by people with Photoshop, but by taking 'adult entertainment' material. I'm just... I mean, who the hell gets a turn-on from watching simulated 'soldier rape'?

In what world is the definition of "conservative" appropriate to describe the WorldNutDaily? Radical? Yes. Untruthful? Yes. But "conservative?" Yum. Scaife excrement. Now, that's conservative!

Yeah, I was researching - that's right. MetaFilter -- I Read It for the Articles I mean, who the hell gets a turn-on from watching simulated 'soldier rape'? more than a few Abu Ghraib guards?
