Obama and terrorist support group Code Pink announced today they are shutting down their Washington, D.C. headquarters due to lack of interest by their fellow leftists in protesting the Democrat-run Congress and the Obama administration.Code Pink has been playing the inside-outside game of political theater since Obama was inaugurated. While making a show of protesting his administration, Code Pink has been meeting with Obama and working with the White House. Since March 2007, the group has maintained its D.C. headquarters in a five bedroom row house in a residential neighborbood on Capitol Hill. The group was protected by the D.C....

SNIPShortly after the new Congress convened, Code Pink rented a row house on Capitol Hill with grand plans to host activists from its 250-plus chapters around the country and abroad. The idea was to give folks from Pasadena to Pittsburgh the opportunity to bring their protest to Washington.SNIPThe five-bedroom row house on 5th Street NE is decorated in shades of pink. There are pink lampshades, throw pillows, and quilts. Most of the furniture and décor were donated by supporters or bought secondhand. Stored in the basement are the pink slips that activists wear to suggest America should fire President Bush...

On Nov 30,  FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond, reinforced by allies, held our weekly support the troops event at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR). We had numerous special guests, including two who told stories reminding us vividly why we have been here for over 2 and 1/2 years through rain, snow, cold, wind, and heat. (Here is a web page with the background of the event, which is also a FReep of the  anti-troop hate group Code Pink and their fellow travelers assembled down the block to continue their vicious taunting of wounded troops. It also describes the...

Nov. 2 was the first time in 3 weeks that our weekly support the troops event at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR) was not rained on. For over 2 and 1/2 years through rain, snow, cold, wind, and heat FReepers have stood outside the main gate of Walter Reed (WR) every week, having expelled the cruel Code Pink anti-troop hate group from that location about 9 months into the weekly events. (Here is a web page with the background of the event, which is also a FReep of the  venomous Code Pink and their fellow travelers assembled down the...

Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, is hoping that the city eventually addresses the de-facto hotel/lobbying operation run by the group Code Pink from a residentially zoned five-bedroom row house at 712 Fifth St. NE.Mr. Taylor's puzzlement is understandable, for the Code Pink provocateurs advertise the apparent zoning violations on their Web site, www.codepink4peace.org."The bedrooms vary in size and can house two to four activists in each," the far-left group writes in the D.C. section of the site.The Code Pinkies say the brownstone can handle as many as 20 activists at a time, which is an apparent...

FReepers in attendance this rainy night were: BillF, BufordP, Kristinn, Olney-Keith, TrueBlackMan and myself. We had some good discussions with the Code Pinkos this week. They even admitted that all they are doing is training leftists to be lobbying activists. Sounds like a business in a residential zone to me. TrueBlackMan took pics and some video. I finally remembered my lessons on [Mrs] T's camera but the rain made taking them difficult. TrueBlackMan had a FReeper helping him hold a large umbrella over his camera so they will be better than mine (hanging head low) once he posts or links...

Okay, it wasn't really a panty raid, but we did get the pinkos' panties in a bunch. Besides I like the headline. What the D.C. Chapter did do was hold a stealth freep of Code Pink at their Washington, D.C. headquarters this afternoon. The part about the bogus police, fire and BOLO calls is true.Six D.C. Chapter members, a member of Gathering of Eagles, Iraq war vet Phil Kiver and two of his friends went to the so-called Code Pink House at 712 5th St., NE (attn. Keith Olbermann, don't get your panties in a bunch: Code Pink publishes this...

Only one call to the police and no false alarm to the fire department this week in our continuing FReep to evict Code Pink's corporate lobbying HQ in a residential neighborhood. The one police call was from a neighbor. The problem arose while Kristinn was taking to Pinko Midge (BELOW). The gates to both residences were right adjacent to each other. While talking Kristinn had unknowingly drifted over by a step and was in front of the neighbor's gate. When the neighbor returned from walking her dog and had to ask Kristinn to move. Kristinn immediately did and continued talking...

A new front has opened in the war over the war: zoning regulations. Last week, the conservative grassroots organization FreeRepublic.com held its second protest outside the Northeast Washington house that serves as a base of operations for the anti-war group Code Pink. Along with other groups, FreeRepublic.com alleges that Code Pink has set up a “corporate lobbying office” in a residential neighborhood. According to a Free Republic release, neighbors have “complained of Code Pink-affiliated buses being parked on their street, increased traffic, loud gatherings, unkempt trash and strangers going in and out of the house at all hours of the...

Photoblogging: The Gathering of Eagles at Walter Reed By Michelle Malkin  •  September 14, 2007 11:56 PM  The Eagles joined Free Republic.com members at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for the weekly Friday “Freep” tonight to show support for the troops. Bryan Preston and I were there to join in, meet fellow Eagles, and film the gathering for a future Hot Air special (see our video report on the first Gathering of Eagles in March here).  If you’ve never been to the Walter Reed Friday gatherings, you should really make the time to attend. Folks traveled from New York, Oregon,...

On Aug 10, FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond, together with friends,  held our weekly Friday night support the troops gathering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR) in Washington, DC. The FReepers had to withstand sweltering humidity and heat, probably about 90 degrees as we got underway at 6:30 pm, albeit nothing compared to the 140 degrees that our troops in Iraq must put up with. We had a black cat attack as will be described below. (Here is a web page with the background of the event, which is also a FReep of the cruel Code Pinko hate...

Having conducted over a hundred of these support the troop events at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR), FReepers are rarely surprised at these events. On July 27, FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond were rewarded with a wonderful surprise ending after they braved several lines of storms before and during the weekly support the troops gathering. (Here is a web page with the background of the event, which is also a FReep of the cruel Code Pinkos and their fellow travelers assembled down the block to continue their vicious taunting of wounded troops. It also describes the intense hatred...

<p>WASHINGTON, DC, June 29, 2007— Imagine our surprise when, as we started putting up our banners at the gates of Walter Reed Army hospital, there stood George, Larry and other North Carolina Gathering of Eagles members, last seen by FReepers at the Gathering of Eagles–Chapel Hill. This vanload of citizen patriots would be spending the weekend far from home to cheer the troops as Independence Day was drawing near. They had stopped by our weekly Friday night Walter Reed troop-support rally on their way to a GOE rally and counter-demonstration against northern moonbats at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey on Saturday.</p>

On June 22, FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond, together with allies, gathered outside the main gate of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR) for our weekly support the troops FReep. At the same time, the cruel Code Pinkos and their fellow travelers assembled a block away to continue their vicious taunting of wounded troops, but they bombed out yet again. Here is a web page describing background for the FReep, including the intense hatred that the venomous Pinkos have for our troops, except those troops who join Pinko efforts. Some photos from past FReeps will be added to the...

Background For those who haven't followed this over the years, FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond, joined by allies, have been outside the gates of Walter Reed to support our troops for over two years. Friday, May 25, was FReep #110 as FReepers have countered the U.S. enemy-supporting anti-troop hate group Code Pink and allies at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.On March 15, 2004, there was a preliminary skirmish, more than a year before the regular dueling protests between FReepers and Pinkos started. The leftists, including many Pinkos, protested at Walter Reed as...

Photos by Plea Deal and [Mrs] Trooprally Washington, November 17, 2006-- There is a faraway, yet penetrating look in the eyes of parents who have buried a child, no matter how well they have gotten on with their lives, no matter how much they are doing to honor their hero. It is a look that says, "Nothing is worth getting worked up about. Can you not see that small matters are insignificant? I am here, but part of me is here no longer; I live to honor that part." This 83rd week of the DC Chapter's Friday night troop-support rally...

With temperatures in the low 60s and little wind, we had a great turnout of dedicated FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond as we FReeped on all four corners of the main gate at Walter Reed (WR) for the 10th month in a row, the 230th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps and the day before Veteran's Day.  Our control of the four corners followed the Pinkos' (i.e., Code Pink anti-troop hate group) retreat as explained in the thread relative to January 20: Code Pink Retreats from Walter Reed-Freepers Win! (Week 40 Report at #1352). Before that, the Pinkos...

Tonight we crushed the Pinkos in numbers: 38 to 7 1/2!Other than that, nothing really happened. (Somebody please step in and refute that statement!)The weather was phenomenal for D.C. in August (low 80's with low humidity!) which probably helped to bring out extra FReepers. We couldn't quite understand what kept the commie Pinkos away...Attendance was extremely high this week, but it can always be better! The following FReepers and FRiends came out to celebrate tonight:Just A Nobody, 2ndClassCitizen, 3D-Joy, Just A Nobody, Albion Wilde, Bill * from MD, BillF, Blueblade (also a member of Protest Warriors), BufordP, Just A Nobody,...
