FReepers vs. Code Pink at Walter Reed, June 10 (Join us June 17!)

DC Chapter ^ | June 15, 2005 | BillF

[BillF]

For the ninth time in just over 10 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, June 10.

The honor roll of those in attendance: kristinn, tgslTakoma, bmwcyle, Apple Blossom, BufordP, lurker Joan, and BillF.  In contrast to our seven patriots, the leftists peaked at five or six  America-hating traitors, several of whom left early leaving only three of them for much of the time.

As has happened previously, a couple soldiers came over and briefly chatted with us. There were more honks for our side than honks for the leftists.

The Pinkos evil scheme is to fake friendship with soldiers in hopes of finding one or more who, vulnerable in their wounded state, can be manipulated into joining the anti-war movement and breaking faith with their fellow troops. The leftist numbers have been dropping and they seem to be running out of steam.  If we could get another ten or fifteen FReepers to show up for some of these FReeps and sufficiently outnumber the leftists, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs on that night) demonstrations at the hospital. What about you? Can you spare a few hours on a Friday night?

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks for the kind words, Leofl. We always enjoy meeting and Freeping with our out-of-town friends.

[tgslTakoma]

I think I remember you saying something about your Red Lobster days...

[BufordP]

You buttheads are making me laugh!

Bring me back some turbins...with the heads still in 'em.

P.S. I'm not changing my screen name.

[BufordP]

COOL!

[tgslTakoma]

It adds to the misogynist legend.

;-)

[tgslTakoma]

Great! I have missed you, 3D-JOY!

[tgslTakoma]

Great! Keep spreading the word around Iraq about the activities of those traitors in Code Pink(o) who are continuing to $upport "the other side" (aka the insurgents) with money and medicine, thereby freeing up more money for them to spend on the explosives they are using to kill and maim our soldiers, Iraqi soldiers and police and Iraqi civilians, too.

They are evil, pure evil.

You guys are doing an awesome job!
I wish I was there.

I wondered where you had wandered......

Wish I could come.

Isn't at least one of those Code Pinkos, Medea Benjamin, going to be speaking at the DSM rally at Lafayette Park later today?

[PJ-Comix]

Full beard in the works as opposed to goat.

I have a full beard myself. Better than liquid sunblock so a full beard has a very practical purpose (at least that's what I told my mother a few weeks ago when she tried to talk me into shaving it off for the umpteenth time).

[BufordP]

I'm 47 and this is my first beard. Not sure about keeping it yet. I'll give it a few more months before I decide. The first time Tiggles (tgslTakoma) saw me with the beard she directed me to the nearest dumpster.

Wife isn't too pleased.

[BufordP]

Yes, I saw Medea down as one of the speakers.

[PJ-Comix]

I've had a full beard for 14 years and wouldn't think of shaving it off. The first month i came close to shaving it because it itched a bit. But after that no itchiness at all. In fact, I like the beard because it keeps my face warm in cold weather but MORE IMPORTANTLY keeps the sun off large parts of my face thus making less chance for skin cancer.

I wondered where you had wandered...... and I you. ;*) Wish I could come.
Too far?

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks

BTTT ???

[bmwcyle]

Those big pink thongs should tighten right up.

[bert]

about 400 miles...... too much work.

[Just A Nobody]

Wow...didn't realize. Another time perhaps.
