For the fifth time in just over 5 weeks, DC Chapter FReepers conducted a FReep of Code Pink's anti-war protest at the gate of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The FReep of the leftists' obscene blood dance was on the Friday night, May 6.
The honor roll of those in attendance: kristinn, tgslTakoma, daughter of tgsl, trueblackman, hellinahandcart, sauropod, bmwcyle, and BillF. For the second week in a row, I'm doing this report in place of the originally-designated writer (albeit a different one than last week), who got tied up with other matters.
Please join us on Friday, May 13, at 7:30 PM for the next FReep in this continuing series per details in the comment section below.
(Here is the after-action report on the previous round IV FReep of Code Pink's weekly Friday night attempts to exploit our war wounded for propaganda. Code Pink (CP) pretends to support our troops, but Code Pink leader Medea Benjamin has bragged about the $650 K that her groups raised for "the other side" (her words) in Fallujah, Iraq. The first round FReep of CP a couple weeks back is described here and included CP sending three disruptors to stand next to us, one of them ranting about killing people and saying that he had a gun in his pocket, and then the three fleeing just ahead of the police.)
As usual, we set up diagonally across the intersection from the leftists. We
deployed a different MOAB (Mother of All Banners, see below photo) than the anti-CP one used earlier in this series.
This week was fairly quiet with no real interaction with the Pinkos. The closest was when a lone leftist, apparently not connected with CP, walked by. He made some disparaging remarks about the MOAB and words were exchanged, but he walked on.
I took photos of the leftists, but those photos are basically the same as last week. Look at last week's report, linked above, to see those photos.

MOAB, first used about a year ago. As seen from across the street.

Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.
Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB, other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.
Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
Start at 7:30 pm and go to about 10 pm.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW
Code Pinkos have been setting up on the southwest corner of the Georgia Ave/Elder St intersection. We've been setting up on the northeast corner across the street from Walter Reed's entrance gate.
DC Chapter ping!
Hope that those of you in the DC area can join us on Friday, May 13, per above. Or on a later Friday night for this continuous series.
What these Code Pink "pieces of garbage-low life scum" are doing needs to be broadcast across this country. Has anyone written to Rush or Oliver North so that this can get out and be exposed?
Excellent report. I wish I lived closer to D.C.
Hope that you'll consider coming tomorrow night.
I plan on being there, but BufordP will be tied up.
Code Pink people cannot be trusted.
Thanks for the ping; and thanks for writing and posting the thread in my place (I owe you one). I'm short on free time lately, it seems.
DC Chapter, you are IT!
Michigan bump
You should use Diva Betsy Ross's tagline for some of your signs.....with her permission, of course. :-)
Ah, let me try this again.....

I have a sign that I used in spring 2003 when FReeping the Pinkos' demonstration against Fox News DC office. That sign says:
FOX ROCKS
CODE PINK STINKS
I may use it again one of these days (not this next FReep), but the Pinkos are sufficiently far away from us that they probably wouldn't be able to read it.
See my #13. I used her current tagline 2 years ago, but I don't know if it was her tagline then.
Pinging some who posted on the last report in this series of FReeps.
Thank You for fighting the good fight.
God Bless the Troops !!!
God, it's tempting. I have to help my old man around the house tomorrow, though, and I think it's around a three-hour drive down there from Philly (wild guess -- I haven't been to DC since I was ten). Probably more with the Philly+Baltimore rush hour traffic I'd hit. Probably would need another hour to find the hospital -- I don't know *anything* about the city's layout :)
If Ollie was to show up I *would* be there, though, even if I had to leave at 2. Don't know what I would bring -- our local hardware store sells US flags, though. A PA flag would be nice, too, but I have no idea where I'd get one.
When the commie pinko's come over to talk to you, give them a few choice words for me. Thanks.
It's that easy.
(Well it's easy to say)
Here to Philadelphia is probably two and a half hours, +/-.
It appears that we will be doing this gig every Friday for the forseeable future, so anytime you want to drive down, give us a shout. And thanks for your support.
:-)
Most excellent!
