4-Corner FReep of Code Pink's Quagmire at Walter Reed, Aug 5 (Heavy graphics, Join us Aug 12!)

DC Chapter ^ | August 8, 2005 | BillF

[BillF]

For the tenth week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  In the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve the desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest.

Do you think that the Pinkos are sickos to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital holding war-wounded? Then please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below.  Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed the Iraqi resistance (see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops.

FReepers had superior numbers despite the Pinkos' last day decision to hold their blood dance from 7 to 9 pm, instead of the previous 8 to 10 pm that they used for the last 4 months. That information, which was added to the Code Pink web site no more than 30 hours in advance of the actual protest, was relayed to some FReepers via cell phone even as the FReepers were already on their way to the FReep. Using a Halliburton Traffic Light Controller, which is a higher grade version of this, many of us were able to manipulate traffic lights to our advantage so that we could get there before the Pinkos' revised earlier start time.

This was Sixteenth 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 at the beginning of the FReep.

The honor roll of those in attendance:  AlwaysFree, tgslTakoma, Albion Wilde, Justanobody, lurker Joan, Christopher Lincoln, Jimmy Valentine's brother, rackatoot, beandog, Jack Deth, Gadsdenman, two daughters and one son of Gadsdenman, Nina0113, Fraxinus (formerly the lurker Sam), BufordP, kristinn, and BillF. 

Many of the FReepers, who are regularly at the FReep, were away for Halliburton-sponsored seminars in manipulation of Debold voting machines (why do liberals even bother voting?),  facial recognition software, planning one-way GITMO trips for leftists, and related topics, but we were still able to get our second highest attendance ever.

Click on another photo and its larger version should open in the same window that the first enlarged photo did. Note that some of the wider photos may open in a window wider than your screen and you can use a horizontal scroll bar to see parts. Photos marked with an asterisk are great photos taken by Gadsdenman.

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 nineteen patriots, the Pinkos had yet another pathetic outing. The leftists peaked at eleven America-hating traitors. However, many did not come until the second hour and one was only there for the last ten minutes. Their average for the 2 hour window designated by the Pinkos for their blood dance was about seven. Our average was about fourteen as some of our side did not get the late notice about the earlier start time.  As shown on the photo at right, Blue Pony-Tail Guy and Squeegee Guy  are illegally attaching a banner to the Walter Reed fence. (Last week, Squeegee Guy on the right in the photo was carrying his sign into the crosswalk in front of cars at every red light. We thought he was going to squeegee some of the cars.) Two photos below, you will see Gael Murphy re-attaching the banner that Blue Pony-Tail Guy and Squeegee Guy attached at right photo. If we could have heard Murphy, I'm guessing that she was saying, "Good help is hard to find. I have to do everything." Or maybe she was just thinking that? (Of course, attaching a banner to the Walter Reed fence is illegal as it is the equivalent of having a demonstration on military property.)

Early on, Blue Pony-Tail Guy and Squeegee Guy illegally attach banners to federal property (i.e., the Walter Reed fence).

that my auto-focus did not work or is that just the vagueness of some of the Pinko signs?)

A car leaving Walter Reed pulled over and rolled down its window. The driver said "Are you protesting them" (pointing at the Pinkos)?  I said, "Yes, we are counter-protesting them because it's wrong to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital. We are also here to support the troops and their missions." The driver, who had one artificial arm, was amazed. He thanked us and went on his way. I thanked him for his service and for my freedom. Traffic was backed up behind him. Otherwise, I would asked him about his unit, whether he served in Iraq or Afghanistan, and other things. Late in the FReep, a Walter Reed patient (photo on right) came over to talk with the FReepers. (This was after the Pinkos had left.) I ask rackatoot, Albion Wilde and Christopher Lincoln if one or more of them or other FReepers would kindly describe the interaction with this particular patient. As usual, we had far more honks of support than the leftists did. Among others, we had at least one big truck honk upon seeing tgslTakoma's massive Mother-of-all-banners (MOAB), our numerous American flags, and support the troops signs. There was little interaction with the Code Pinkos except as described below.

CODE PINK AND GAEL MURPHY UNHINGED

Pinkos at just below their average strength for the night.

Remember that the Pinkos had attached their "Bush Lied" banner to a car and had used it to support various signs (see third and fourth photos from the top and photo just above)? It was not a Pinko's car, as one might have thought. They just taped or tied their banner and signs to some car that happened to be parked there as you will observe in the below photos (action sequence photos from Gadsdenman) when the car owner in the short-sleeved green-shirt confronts the Pinkos.

Green-shirted car owner (center) confronts Gael Murphy and Blue Pony-Tail Guy about them using his car for their signs as Squeegee
Guy and Pinko woman pull banner off the car.*

Green shirt car owner apparently complained to Murphy about something on his car. He had at least 2 support the troops ribbons
on his car before the leftists messed with it. Wonder if they thought that he was a FReeper and they ripped off one of the ribbons? *

After the car owner had the leftists remove their banners and signs from his car, he talked to Murphy about something. FReepers were chanting "sue Gael Murphy, sue Gael Murphy!" The car owner got into his car and drove away.

Isn't it just like leftists to use someone else's property to hold controversial signs? If somebody damaged the car because they didn't like the message and the perpetrator gets away, would Murphy reimburse the owner? Yeah, right.

Full line of leftists after the car was driven away. Notice how Gael Murphy is off in her own little world at the right of the photo, leaning
on a lamp post.

NOT HYPERLINKED Murphy searches the sky.

Murphy-land is not much fun on this night *

She stood apart from the rest of the Pinkos *

Murphy's behavior was, at the very least, strange. In left above photo, she seems to be searching the sky  for answers. Wonder if she was on-guard to see if we had gotten our carrier pigeons to "drop" on command yet. In the middle, she seems to be leaning into the lamp post and she seems off-balance at the right. She stood apart from the other Pinkos for some time. Maybe National Chief Pinko Medea Benjamin is ordering Murphy to take the next batch of Pinko aid to "the other side" in Fallujah?

Pinkos pack to go as Murphy drags the flag on the ground and the top of her shoes. Squeegee Guy doesn't want to quit his fun. *

As shown in above photo, Murphy is dragging the flag on the ground to roll it up. It's a mistake when someone accidentally touches a flag on the ground, but the Pinkos have done this week after week when they pack to leave. This was just the first time that we've gotten a real good photo of them dragging it. Notice also the "Proud of WHO WE ARE" sign that is the leftists' attempt to answer our sign that points to them as "Marxist Code Pinkos" (shown in 3rd photo below). Speaking of proud Pinkos, Squeegee Guy (tall guy in photo at right) was limited to standing at the Pinko main position. That corner doesn't really present the opportunity that he had last week. On that occasion, he would step into the crosswalk at each red light and wave his sign at the poor motorist stopped just next to him. If he had done the cross-walk thing this week, the stopped cars would have been across the side street or he'd have had to walk across three lanes to get to the cars on his side of the intersection. Meanwhile, Crazy Backpack Guy (shorter one in photo at right) brought his Bush as a Mullah sign for the second week in a row. That completely distracts from Pinkos' alleged support for the troops, but then we know the only troops that the Pinkos really support are the enemy  (see here and here), those killing our troops, blowing up innocent Iraqi civilians on purpose, and beheading other civilians. I wish that Crazy Backpack Guy would bring a new sign. The classic sign from him, shortly after the 7/7 London bombings, said "Terrorist Act Follows Popularity Nose Dive and Yet More 911 revelations . . . DUH!" This tin-foiled hat loony actually believed that Bush caused or helped the London bombings in order to improve his popularity or divert attention from 911 revelations. I wish that he would bring a new sign. We need something new to laugh at! One leftist, who arrived very late, walked by us on her way back to her car. Apparently disgusted by lack of notice of the change in time of the Pinko protest, she said as she walked by "show up, hold a sign for ten minutes, then go home." (I don't think that she is likely to return, another benefit of Gael Murphy's incompetance.)

Squeegee Guy and Crazy Backpack Guy are two proud Pinkos *

TAKING THE FOURTH CORNER

Our numbers were so large during most of the FReep that we occupied all three corners, other than the one occupied by Pinkos. Moreover, as they packed up very quickly just after 9 pm and fled the scene of their latest treason, we occupied that corner for some time. As some Pinkos apparently consoled each other in cars down the block, we occupied all four corners per four below photos.

Shortly after the Pinkos vacated their corner, we reclaimed it for the patriots. Jack Deth, BufordP, kristinn, Justanobody,
AlwaysFree, and Gadsdenman's two daughters. *

What the Pinkos see. Gadsdenman took this great photo of the main FReeper position as seen from the diagonal Pinko corner after
they had scurried away and we had taken possession of their corner for the patriots. tgslTakoma's MOAB dominates the scene.  *

This is what the Pinkos were seeing directly across Georgia Ave from them. Note the arrow sign at the right, which sign is identical
on both sides, with arrow pointing correctly to Pinkos on both sides.*

It was around the time that during our occupation of all four corners that we realized why the Pinkos had moved up their protest time. A bus filled with wounded patients returned after taking them out on the town. Last week (click for the report), a patient had described how the patients in the bus give the Pinkos one finger salutes as the bus returns to Walter Reed. The Pinkos apparently moved up their protest time so that they would be gone before the troop bus returned. I had noticed that the Pinkos packed with unusual haste. It was hard for the leftists to keep saying that they support the troops and then have the troops flip them off. Therefore, the leftists changed their protest time and packed in a hurry to make sure that they were gone before the patient bus returns. As has happened during the last couple months, the Pinkos 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. None of their signs had anything to do with night-time admissions. 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.

Although not taken from the Pinko corner, this shows what the Pinkos would see across the side street most of the night. kristinn and Nina0113 across Georgia Ave from our main force

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.

[Just A Nobody]

Hi - Missed you and your lovely daughters!! Hope you are having a wonderful vacation.

[Roses0508]

As has happened during the last couple months, the Pinkos didn't even pretend to be protesting the fact that Walter Reed admits new war-wounded patients at night, instead of during the day.

Makes sense - the night staff does not have as much to do, so they have the time to manage the new admissions. I plan to be in the DC area in September, so please add me to the ping list. I'd like to join you.

[BillF]

Have added you to the DC Chapter ping list. Hope that you can join us.

The night-time admissions are based on the flight schedules and other logistics. Planes with patients come in from Europe and the Middle East to Andrews Air Force Base in the late afternoon or early evening. Some patients are checked by doctors at the AF hospital and most are transported after the rush hour gridlocked traffic has died down, so they don't spend too much time in traffic delays.

[BillF]

I hope that you've had a great visit to the U.S.

I wish you could have joined us, but I understand that you had many places to visit.

Above is my report of what happened that night. You should understand that my various comments about Halliburton and carrier pigeons were jokes that may not translate well.

[Gadsdenman]

Another great report, Bill. From the sound of some of the posts this week and last, the Walter Reed FReep is becoming a Vacation Destination for FReepers. Betcha we continue to set new attendance records in the weeks ahead.
The MOAB is on it's way to nationwide fame, too. The Viet Nam vet that came over to talk to the FReepers stopped in the middle of the street to photograph it. Later a serviceman who's stationed somewhere in the area stopped to talk to the group occupying the pinko's corner and photographed them and the MOAB also. He said he wanted some friends in El Paso to see it.

[Albion Wilde]

Great review, rackatoot!

[Taxman]

AbsoFReepinglutely!

[tiredoflaundry]

Someone should make up a sign with something like "Code Pink helped pay for the RPG that killed Casey Sheehan". That will make them po'ed!

[bluesagewoman]

Absolutely the best write-up yet. Thank you for doing this each week.

[an italian]

Thanks for your report. That`s just what I belive in: support the troops that are fighting for our Freedom. When I`ll be back home I`ll sedd you and all Freepers the pics I took in Washington. They are great!!!

[BillF]

You may have followed the story of Cindy Sheehan. She has been "turned" to the anti-war side by radical leftists exploiting her grief.

It's the same ploy the Code Pink is trying, without much success so far per the report above, on war-wounded patients and relatives of patients at Walter Reed. You may see the same tactics of leftists in your own cities.

[Angelwood]

Kudos for a great report and photos. Take care.

[Trteamer]

Way to step up to the plate gang! Outstanding job!

[BushisTheMan]

4-CORNER FREEP! You guys rock!

What would happen if you arrived earlier than the pinko stinkos and took all four corners before they got there? Do they have it reserved or something?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Excellent report Bill. Y'all are doing a great job! Wish I could be there.

[Just A Nobody]

Speaking of stepping up to the plate, literally ... ;*)

[BillF]

Thanks for the kind words.

They have a permit.

I think that would be too provocative to take all corners and block them, even if they didn't have a permit.

[BillF]

I meant to tell you about these series of FReeps, which started a few weeks after you tangled with Code Pinkos in California and we FReeped them in Fayetteville in March.

It appears that Cindy Sheehan was a mildly anti-war anti-Bush person. Pinkos and other leftists have exploited her grief to turn her into a full scale Bush-hater and war protestor. The Pinkos are at Walter Reed to likewise try to "turn" war-wounded troops and their family members and then exploit them for the left's twisted propaganda purposes. Their other goal is to demoralize the troops.

There have been sixteen of these FReeps so far. Amazingly, considering that the DC area is a liberal bastion filled with hardcore radical left-wing activists, we have outnumbered them for ten weeks now.

Below are links to threads from two of the earlier FReeps in the series and in which we had direct interactions with National Chief Pinko Medea Benjamin and/or DC Chief Pinko Gael Murphy. The photos are hyperlinked. Clicking on them pulls up a larger version.

FReepers vs. Code Pink at Walter Reed, July 8 (Heavy graphics, Join us July 15!)
DC Chapter ^ | July 12, 2005 | BillF

Posted on 07/12/2005 3:08:44 PM PDT by BillF

On the heels of an historic rout of the Code Pinkos on July 1, FReepers  continued to frustrate the hate-filled Pinkos and their evil scheme as police ordered a stunned and distraught DC Chief Pinko, Gael Murphy, back to her side.  FReepers of the DC Chapter and FReepers from elsewhere achieved the decisive victory on Friday night, July 8.

This was the 13th FReep of the unlucky Code Pinkos as FReepers hinder the Pinkos' evil scheme: 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.

She is so filled with hatred of us that she has to come over to get in our faces, but we try to keep away from her.)  At one stage, she tells me to "shut up."  (Right, not too much hate there.)  I argued that we supported the troops, but the only troops they support are the "Iraqi resistance, the terrorists." bmwcyle is also in the sound file.

FReepers vs. Code Pink at Walter Reed (round IV w/ Medea & Murphy coming to our side)
DC Chapter ^ | May 7, 2005 | BillF

Posted on 05/06/2005 12:36:47 AM PDT by BillF

For the forth time in just over 4 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, April 29.

[snip]

Code Pink co-founder Gael Murphy and Code Pink chief founder Medea Benjamin separately came over to talk to us, each for at least twenty minutes. Below are sound bites, WAV files that you can click on to hear or right click and save for later listening.

[snip]

*SOUND FILE (64 sec, 481 K): Benjamin discusses Afghanistan and infiltration with BillF, BufordP, and Always Free.  After Buford mentions Muslim FBI translators who refuse to blow the whistle on fellow Muslims, Medea says that maybe our country is infiltrated. "You're an infiltrator in this country, too," is what I said to Medea.

SOUND FILE (74 sec, 690 K): Benjamin tries to explain the contradiction between her alleged friendship with military members and the Code Pink view of our military as "killers."

SOUND FILE (28 sec, 310 K): kristinn applauds no terrorist attacks in the U.S. after Sept 11, but Benjamin decries an increase around the world. BillF says the increase is caused by her friends.

*SOUND FILE (100 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin talks about working with ANSWER.  She describes ANSWER as Stalinists who are "nasty, angry."

*SOUND FILE (50 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin says that neither of our respective sides is as bad as the other says, but kristinn disagrees with respect to them not being as bad as we think they are. BufordP corrects Medea when she accidentally lets the flag touch the ground. Medea says "I like you guys. I love your Mother of All Banners."

SOUND FILE (55 sec, 592 K): Benjamin won't back Hillary in '08, but she says that she normally backs a candidate who finishes in third place or below.

*SOUND FILE (46 sec, 506 K): Benjamin explains her choice of "Medea" as a first name. She claims that Medea really did not kill her children.

A milestone: we've outnumbered them ten weeks in a row.
