Code Pink remains stuck in a quagmire and continues sinking fast as evidenced by, among other things, pathetic turnout on their side against a record turnout by FReepers who outnumbered them by more than 4 to 1 most of the evening of Friday night, July 22. Code Pinkos continue holding a weekly anti-war blood dance at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists. Yet, the Pinkos have been outnumbered for eight weeks in a row, aside from about ten minutes 5 or 6 weeks ago when they briefly held the numerical edge.
FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have consistently outnumbered the Pinkos for weeks now, but we need yet more FReepers to attend this coming Friday if we are to continue the streak. For reasons discussed below, we suspect that the Pinkos will have a larger group this coming Friday, July 29. If you've been holding off coming until it really counted, make that extra effort to attend this time.
Do you think that the Pinkos are sicko to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital holding war-wounded? Then please help us by showing next Friday night per details below and also note that this will be a double FReep.
This was Fifteenth Fabulous Fun FReep of the Code Pinkos as FReepers continue to frustrate the Pinkos evil scheme. Pinkos want 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. Many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken to Walter Reed for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The Pinkos other goal is too demoralize those wounded troops.
As we have done on a number of these FReeps, we ate pizza on site before the FReep was under way.
The honor roll of those in attendance: AlwaysFree, tgslTakoma, daughter of tgsl, Albion Wilde, Justanobody, 3-D Joy, lurker Joan, Christopher Lincoln, Jimmy Valentine's brother, trueblackman, EDINVA, Jack Deth, Gadsdenman, Nina0113, Doctor Raoul, BufordP, kristinn, and BillF. For the second week in a row, we set a new record turnout for us. As happened last week, our large numbers led us to spread out among all three available corners, Pinkos being on the other corner.

Photos will be interspersed in the report. As it got progressively darker, my telephoto lens shots became less clear requiring software enhancement. You will notice that people look more like cartoon characters in my later telephoto lens photos. Gadsdenman brought a very good camera, telephoto lenses, and flash, allowing him to capture high quality tele-photos in the dark.]
Opposed to our eighteen patriots, the Pinkos had their most pathetic outing in a long-time. The leftists peaked at five America-hating traitors, but had four or less during most of the 2 hour window (8 pm to 10 pm) that the Pinkos designate for their troop-hating bash. In a stunning surprise, and for the first time in weeks, the first Pinko and some signs actually arrived on site on time. They peaked at three troop-haters early on, but a fourth arrived quite late into the event. Finally with ten minutes to go, a fifth Pinko showed up. Then right at 9:59 pm the Pinkos convinced a pedestrian to hold one of the Code Pinko signs for less than 60 seconds, even as the Pinkos were packing things up to leave immediately at 10 pm.
If the Pinkos hadn't endorsed the Iraqi resistance (see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers," one might almost be tempted to feel sorry for them. Their effort was so sad.
It's 8 pm. Pinkos are pulling signs out of their car. Haven't they heard Doctor Raoul's chant: "NO OIL FOR PROTEST.
WALK TO THE PROTESTS. WALK HOME?"
For the second week in a row, Gael Murphy, the chief DC Pinko, who totally lost it at the FReep two weeks back, was a no-show on this night. Perhaps, she is vacationing at the beach, while her useful idiots languish in the excessive heat and the onslaught of FReepers speaking truth to counter the Pinkos' lies. Also, the usual truck that carries most of their signs never showed up, but they apparently had moved at least some of their signs to another vehicle as shown above. Truck is on vacation with Murphy?

A third Pinko joins the first two as Blue Pony-tail Guy pulls out |
When the Blue Pony-tail Guy held up his "Workers and Soldiers United" sign, it was all we could do to avoid laughing. Could he make a sign that made them sound more like Commies? I don't know how. It was the first time we had seen this sign. We would like to say that we had secretly deposited this sign in the leftists' bag of signs to make them look foolish. But no, we don't need to do tricks to make them look like Commie losers. They look that way all by themselves.

During the FReep, many of us had a nice chat with a young soldier (right photo, up two rows) who was a Walter Reed patient. The soldier had been evacuated from Baghdad for medical reasons. We thanked him for his service. He had just come out to the street to get some pizza being delivered and was amazed to see us there.
The leftists seemed more dispirited than ever. In contrast, we shared birthday cake to celebrate 3D-Joy's birthday that was coming the next day.

Andi and Jimmy Valentine's brother |
| Andi (photo above on right) of http://www.andisworld.typepad.com/ (great blog, check it out) stopped by to chat with us as she had a few weeks back. She's a military wife and wrote many kind words about us on her blog following our last meeting. Unfortunately, she was back this night because her husband was in Walter Reed Hospital for some surgery. I don't believe it was related to any combat, but Jimmy Valentine's brother may know for sure. At any rate, we told Andi to pass along our best wishes and prayers for her husband's speedy recovery. Our understanding was that he would be going home the next day. As has been common for weeks now, we are getting many more honks of support from passing motorists than the Pinkos are getting. Moreover, their presence is so sparse, their messages so muddled, that any honks for them are hard to interpret. Is the motorist supporting the Pinkos' "Save Walter Reed" sign? If so, that has nothing to do with the real purpose of the Pinkos' fraudulent efforts as they mask the troop-hating America-hating agenda of the traitors masquerading as peace protestors. Unfortunately for the Pinkos, FReepers have ripped the masks off the Pinkos' disguises and exposed their fraudulent blood dance for all the world to see.

After the call shown in the left photo, this Pinko withdrew from |
Following the two phone calls shown in the photos above, we wondered whether the Pinkos would rush in reinforcements. Although there was less than 40 minutes left before their 10 pm quitting time, they had brought in numerous late arrivers a few weeks back under similar circumstances. Instead, only a single Pinko showed up following the phone calls. That Pinko showed up 10 minutes before quitting time, giving them a total of 5 troop-haters for all of ten minutes. Then, with one minute to go before 10 pm, they got some pedestrian to hold a sign for less than a minute. It was so sad.
Pinkos at full "strength"*
The Pinkos provided a pathetic performance, even apart from the fundamentally evil nature of demonstrating at a hospital of war-wounded simply to tell the war-wounded that their sacrifice was for nothing. Moreover, on this night, they didn't even pretend to be protesting the fact that Walter Reed admits new war-wounded patients at night, instead of during the day. That is their pretense for holding their continuing obscene blood dance at the hospital, instead of at the White House or Congress, where policy decision makers are. The Pinkos outside Walter Reed still pretend that they support the troops, but few, if any, troops are buying it. After all, the Pinko web site still calls our troops "killers." Plus, FReepers are on scene making sure that troops know the truth about the Pinkos.
We absolutely must keep the pressure on Code Pink and keep showing the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed that Code Pink doesn't speak for the nation. If you live in the DC area and haven't yet come out for one of these FReeps, please do so this next Friday. Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.
If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" is one of their commonly-used signs) demonstrations at the hospital. What about you? Can you spare a few hours on a Friday night?
Can you give up next Friday night at the movies to support troops who've given up limbs for your freedoms? Will you?
This FReep is rewarding, fun and important for our troops and our nation.
In view of the 5-7 pm leftist protest at the Military Recruiting Station just down the road from Walter Reed, we suspect that the Pinkos will have a larger turnout at Walter Reed this Friday. Please help us counter them.
The DC Chapter of Free Republic invites all Freepers and lurkers in good standing to join us as we play a doubleheader against the moonbats of the left, Code Pink and DAWN (DC Anti-War Network).
Our first Freep will be in support of the men and women in our military, at the U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Center in lower Silver Spring, MD,(about 1 mile north of Walter Reed) beginning at 4pm and continue until 7pm. In their continuing campaign to undermine our efforts to win the war on terrorism, Code Pink and DAWN are targeting yet another military recruitment center, this time in MD.
The second event is the sixteenth Round of our counterprotest of Code Pink's disgusting blood dance outside the main gates at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where our most severely wounded soldiers are being treated for their injuries. This event will begin at 7:30pm and continue through 10pm.
All Freepers and lurkers in good standing are invited to FReep with us on Friday, in this double show of support for the men and women who wear our country's uniform in our defense, some having paid the ultimate price with their life and limb.
Here's the important stuff:
Event One
WHERE:US Armed Forces Recruiting Center
8202 Georgia Avenue
Silver Spring, MD
(nearest cross street-Silver Spring Avenue)
Metro: Silver Spring Station is a few blocks away. Map here.
WHEN: 4pm until 7pm
Event Two
WHERE: Outside the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center
7200 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
Meet us on the northeast corner of Georgia Ave. and Elder Street. This is across from WRAMC gate.
(The leftists hold their blood dance across from our location, on the hospital side of the street.)
Metro: Takoma Station is about 1/2 mile, but you can FReepmail me well in advance to arrange for exchange of cell phone numbers to arrange a pick up at the station.
WHEN:7:30pm until 10pm.
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.
What to bring, for both events:
Flags, signs with messages of support for our military, the mission, etc., strong voices, water, snacks.
Note regarding the Maryland Freep. Montgomery County Police have informed me that our signs "can not be mounted on any type of wood or hard surface to support the sign. Basically you need to hold them in your hands."
DC rules are different, signs on sticks, etc. are OK there.
Between events one and two, we will take time for a quick supper somewhere nearby. That information will be decided on-scene.
As usual, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting apply. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
FReepmail me or post a reply to get on or off the list.
This Friday will be a double FReep per the comments in my first post on the thread. First, a counter protest of the leftists at the Military Recruiting Station about a mile north of Walter Reed. Second, our counter of the Pinkos at Walter Reed.
Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.
If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" is one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital.
The same FReepers are doing almost all of the these FReeps. We do so gladly as a labor of love for our brave troops fighting terrorists over there, instead of waiting for the terrorists to come here. We FReep especially for those wounded in combat. However, some FReepers' family vacations or other obligations may prevent some of them from coming this next Friday.
Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?
If you're in the DC area and don't have family or work considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
Thank you home front warriors! I can't emphasis how important it is to face the Code Pink traitors and let them know they are not appreciated. Enough is enough. Our troops deserve to be protected on the home front from assaults of this nature. It's treason pure and simple.
This photo says it all: "I give up!" Typical lefty cut and run. :-)
GREAT WORK, DC CHAPTER.
YOU STOMPED THE PINKOS LIKE BUGS AND GROUND YOUR HEELS FOR GOOD MEASURE. NOTHING LEFT BUT JUICE AND PIECES-PARTS.
5 HAHAHAHAHA......only 5 BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I sense the end is near.
The family will be there on Friday. The girls had a great time.
ping
And thank you BillF for these great after-action reports each week. The photos are wonderful.
I wish I could be there with you on Friday, but I live outside the area. Thanks for keeping me on the ping list.
Great job, BillF -- as usual! Same to all y'all!
For those who still doubt the insane, vile depravity of the Code Pink organization, here are just some of their web site's instructions for their planned obstruction at the military recruitment center (barf alert):
http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?id=221
Code Pink calls itself "Women for Peace" -- but their actions are anything but womanly.
FReepers, does their policy of attacking our military, and especially our wounded, disgust you?
This evil has poisoned our country since Kerry and Kennedy led the charge against the Vietnam troops. Do these cancerous opinions deserve to be aired without a challenge?
Come on out with us Friday evening in support of our military and to stand in the gap for these conscience-free ingrates.
Generations of American fighting men and women have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms, including the freedom of these protesters to spit in their eyes and pour salt on their wounds. God help them. We need to stand up as witnesses for the truth.
Andi said her husband told her to go check on the FReepers. He knows we are there and you can bet he is spreading the word.
God Bless our heroes.

It's up!!
Missed you and the family Friday. Glad to hear you will all be back. What an exciting education for the girls!! Will you post their "What I did on summer vacation" reports? ;*)

Ah shucks... DC FReepers have all the fun.
