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.
Great.
Even better if you can get to the first FReep at the recruiting station, although it's understandable if you can't. It's a lot harder to get there at between 4 and 5 pm for the first FReep.
Ready for fun & games, if you wish. However, even with your great talent at parody, you may be hard pressed to match the absurdity of the leftist loser holding a sign that said, "Workers and Soldiers United."
Well said about Code Pink. Also, I loved your new signs "COURAGE UNDER FIRE: PINKO GIRLS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND" and the other sign that you're holding below.
My sincere apology for the oversight in not mentioning that you kindly gave all of us the great bracelets and window decals from http://www.saluteheroes.org , the proceeds of which help severely wounded veterans.
I was trying to rush the report to give people a heads-up about the early FReep on Friday, hoping that people could ask bosses for the afternoon off or otherwise plan ahead. Still, I should have remembered.
Hope you can find a way to forgive. Otherwise, I'll have to require you to write all After-Action Reports in the future. :)
can FReep with us again sometime. Meanwhile, I hope that you and Snoopy are keeping cool. It's been incredibly hot and humid here lately.
"I just don't get it. This is DC, not Alabama. I can't believe that FReepers are actually out numbering us here." . . . "OK, Gael if you think that we are so lousy at this, come back from the f****** beach!"
If your brother is still with us, you make sure he knows that many Americans do appreciate his sacrifices and those of other troops in Vietnam and elsewhere. We also appreciate the family members who likewise sacrifice and suffer with their loved ones. And your son should be told that we know that he is a defender of the Republic and a guardian of our freedoms.
Hope that you're doing well. If you feel like replying, you can FReepmail me, or you can reply on the thread if there's nothing too personal.
Thought I would ping you to this just to let you know that the Pinkos are really gasping for air under relentless pressure.
A couple weeks earlier, Chief DC Pinko, Gael Murphy, came over to our side. You can read about the police ordering her back here:

If you have a sound card on your computer, you can hear my
mini-debate with Murphy from that Friday several weeks back right here:

I second that!
Hope you can make to both FReeps on this coming Friday, or at least one of them.
We have Code Pink reeling under relentless pressure. The whole purpose of their protest has been completely frustrated by us simply communicating the truth about the Pinkos to the patients and relatives at Walter Reed.
I want to be there, but I think my wife has a client that evening, so I'm on home duty. If the client falls through, then I'm there!
Just back from being out of town.
We're in for Friday.
Thank you.
BTTT
Great, 'Pod is back.
Both FReeps or one?
Code Pink is being neutralized as our turnout was 18 and theirs was 5, even counting the fifth Pinko who arrived with ten minutes to go.
Walter Reed patients have told us that they know the truth about the Pinkos and loathe them.
I never thought that we could consistently outdraw the Pinkos in the liberal bastion of Washington, DC.
I hope that some of this info can help you in countering the anti-recruitment campaigns of Pinkos and other leftists in your own areas.
Hope that you and Snoopy (below) can FReep with us again sometime. Meanwhile, I hope that you and Snoopy are keeping cool. It's been incredibly hot and humid here lately.
Snoopy always becomes intolerable when he sees his pic on the Internet :)
I fully expect to be back. Just don't know when right now. Wish we could be there this Saturday for the double FReep.
FYI, temp in Aiken today 103 w/ 112 heat index. Ouch :)
As Justice Brandeis famously said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." The DC Chapter is all that and more! FReep-on (and congratulations)!
hope that some of this info can help you in countering the anti-recruitment campaigns of Pinkos and other leftists in your own areas >>>
well, I tried, the Free Republic pulled the thread. Guess they want Hillary in 08, yea.
