I hate Code Pink with a passion. When I returned from Iraq to Walter Reed me and some other guys got out on the town and went sight seeing. We went walking behind the White House were a bunch of anti-war activist were doing there thing. Me and my fellow compatriots were injured in Iraq and were looking for a quick route around it. We started to cross the street but Code Pink was there filming, we tried to go around them but they cursed at us and one of them asked us if we were just getting back from Iraq. We ansered yes, then the old blonde lady asked if we were there to protest the war. We said know and in fact we support the war and we told them they didnt know the reality's on the ground the old blonde lady spouted "So you like killing children?", Which pissed us off. We said "f-u and your high and mighty superiority". The great thing though was a secret service agent(uniformed) guy was listening in and he called us over to him. He asked us if we really were vets from Iraq, we of course confirmed, he told us to hang on just a sec. The next thing we know we are getting an exclusive tour of the WhiteHouse by the Captain in charge of security, it was great to bad POTUS wasnt there at the time(although I had met him and Gen Shinseki a day before, the same day I arrived in country.
Thank you for your service and for standing up for America, our troops and our President.
Washington is a strange place, all depends upon where you are. You just happen to run into a Code Punk Area.
I am amazed how you kept your cool after just coming back from the hot zone and we are glad that someone gave you some respect.
Believe us all, we are behind you.
What a wonderful FReep. I'll keep an eye open for pictures and reports. This is way cool guys!
Thanks to you and your friend for your service in Iraq. The DC Chapter members always found that the Secret Service and other law enforcement personnel were professional and sympathetic to our cause. I am very happy to hear that they treated you with the respect you deserve and gave you a special White House Tour. Thank you.
Great story!
Thanks you and your friend (and all the rest of you) for your service for our country.
God bless you all.
Thank you for your service and I hope you have recovered fully from any wounds that had you at Walter Reed.
I'm sorry that anyone yelled anything at you.
We've fought the Leftist's so hard - to let the troops know that we support them and that the WE is 99% of Americans.

We have been and will continue to support you and all of our troops for the fantastic job being done. Thank you so much for your service. I will contunue to FReep the leftists every chance I get. This is a battle we are in for the future of our country and I am proud to do my part.
DC FReepers, you all are wonderful and an inspiration. Keep up the good work. Now where are the pictures?
All the Best,
I join in the 'thanks, aft_lizard. The Secret Service has to listen to that crap from the Pink ones for hours on end. They must have been over-joyed to have seen you and to be able to show their thanks. Having that special tour will always be something for you to to cherish, for years.
We will fight the mainstream news-media and the leftists in their attempt to high jack the good being accomplished. We appreciate was is being accomplished in Iraq.
I have nothing but contempt for the news-media. I view them as nothing but scum that breath valuable oxygen.
What a wonderful tale!
Thank you and your compatriots for your service to our country!
Thanks for your service- the real America appreciates it.
DC Chapter has tangled with Code Pink numerous other times.
In March, the ghouls of Code Pink and allies had a mock funeral procession from Dover AFB to Walter Reed to the White House.
Naturally, DC Chapter FReeped them at all 3 locations.
Doctor Raoul conducted a solo FReep (a gutsy and potentially risky event, click here for details) and sent Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin fleeing from his tough questions.
I and other DC Chapter members FReeped the Code Pinkos the following day when their "funeral procession" arrived at Walter Reed (click here) and at the White House (click here).
We pointed out that these ghouls were doing a blood dance to exploit our war wounded and dead for propaganda purposes. It still infuriates me to think of them demonstrating outside Walter Reed with sound equipment as wounded troops lay inside.
As Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin walked 20 feet away during our White House counter-protest, I shouted at the top of my lungs "Medea Benjamin you can't hide, you supported Saddam's genocide."
God bless you and the rest of our troops who keep us free and God bless America!
Out F'ing Standing.
God bless you and your comrades
Hope that your recovery is going well and that many blessings fill your life.
...And many thanks for your brave service!
You handled that just the way it should have been handled. I'm sorry to hear you guys were injured...thank you so much for your service and sacrifice for us.
But don't you know they support the troops? </sarcasm>
You are a hero proved in liberating strife. Thanks for going.
I mean absolutely NO OFFENSE here, and I understand how anger on your part and extreme stupidity on the enemy's part can rob you of cool reason, but...
That reminds me of the scene in "Patton" where they tell him that the commander of the 101st Airborne responded to a surrender offer with "NUTS" and Patton says, "Let's get moving, a man that eloquent has to be saved!"
I also pray for President Bush and his staff, particularly Mr. Rumsfeld. They have such a great responsibility and such heavy burdens.
God bless you always, aft_lizard. If you ever come to Chicago, please let me know. My husband and I would like to buy you drinks & dinner.
