Anti-war protestors besieged wounded and disabled soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C, a new web report will claim that!

CNSNews.com is planning to run an expose featuring interviews with both protestors and veterans, as well as shots of protest signs with slogans like “Maimed for a Lie.”

The conservative outlet will post video evidence of the wounded veterans being taunted by protesters, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

FReep of Code Pink's Quagmire at Walter Reed, Aug 19
Join us Aug 26!

For the twelfth 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.

Code Pink is truly stuck in a quagmire as FReepers severely hinder the Pinkos' cynical attempts to manipulate wounded soldiers and relatives in hopes of finding those who will join the anti-war movement and break faith with the troops still fighting a ruthless enemy. 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, but wounded troops have repeatedly thanked us for our presence as an antidote to the morale-sapping leftist antics.

Incredibly, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve their desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest 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.

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.

This was Eighteenth Fabulous Fun FReep of the Code Pinkos as FReepers continue to frustrate the Pinkos' evil scheme.

As we have done on a number of these FReeps, we ate pizza on site at the FReep.

The honor roll of those in attendance: Albion Wilde, Justanobody, lurker Joan, Landry Fan, Jimmy Valentine's brother, Doctor Raoul, beandog, Nina0113, Fraxinus, BufordP, bmwcyle, Apple Blossom, Our Man in Washington, Chick-with-a-brain, HOCWAB (husband of Chick-with-a-brain) and their 2 daughters, lurker Bill, lurker Liz, and BillF. We tied our attendance record of 20 patriots, but set a new record of 21 if you count Vega, the canine-American who came with Bill and Liz. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1468039/posts

If you locate a photogenic, 18-25 year-old blonde girl who has been harrassed by these protestors, you might be able to get Fox News to issue a Fox News Alert when the Natalie Holloway story winds down.

Yeah, why concentrate on the real problem (the anti-war jerks and an incredibly biased media) when you can take cheap jabs at the best thing that's happened to news in a very long time?

I predict that the butt kicking will commence shortly! Let ME SEE just ONE of those leftist BASTARDS insult one of my fellow brothers in arms!

These pukes are in serious need of a "blanket party". I for one would love to blacken both eyes of any one of them.

CODEPINK is a women initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement that seeks positive social change through proactive, creative protest and non-violent direct action.

“ We call on women around the world to rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. We call on mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters, on workers, students, teachers, healers, artists, writers, singers, poets and every ordinary outraged woman willing to be outrageous for peace. Women have been the guardians of life—not because we are better or purer or more innately nurturing than men, but because the men have busied themselves making war. Because of our responsibility to the next generation, because of our own love for our families and communities and this country that we are a part of, we understand the love of a mother in Iraq for her children and the driving desire of that child for life” —Starhawk

With this call CODEPINKcame to the face and space of the national leadership to protest the pre-emptive strike in Iraq. Medea Benjamin, Starhawk, Jodie Evans, Diane Wilson and approximately 100 other women kicked off CODEPINK on November 17, 2002. They marched through the streets of Washington, DC and set up for a four month vigil in front of the White House. The name CODEPINK plays on the Bush Administration’s color-coded homeland security advisory system that signals terrorist threats. While Bush’s color coded alerts are based on fear, the CODEPINK alert is based on compassion and is a feisty call for women and men to “wage peace.”

Medea Benjamin is co-founder of both CODEPINK and the San Francisco-based human rights organization Global Exchange. For 30 years, Medea has supported human rights and social justice struggles around the world.

Jodie Evans at Republican National Convention...

Jodie Evans has been a community, social and political organizer for the last 30 years. She has used her skills,for the protection of the earth, to give voice to communities and people who go unheard and unseen, in the area of human and civil rights, to protect the rights of women, to raise the minimum wage for farm workers, to protect dolphins, in El Salvador in the early 80's and with Zapitistas since '94. From 1973 to 1982, she served in administrative capacities in all of Jerry Brown's campaigns and in his staff and cabinet as Director of Administration. Breakthroughs in wind and solar energy happened while she was overseeing the office of Appropriate Technology.

If this does pan out the way Drudge is reporting it, the only one that can bring it to the American folk attention is President Bush...HE MUST stand up and speak the truth about these evil bastards!! He CAN NO LONGER STAY SILENT while we do the fighting for him! Like Rush said this morn, the prez needs to take the lead and shoot down these evil psycho bastards! ENUFF!! Vietnam redux? NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
aren't behind the anti war crowd
needs to get a clue.

Thanks.

The DC crew has been reporting that for weeks, here

Yep and it's about time some one in the media starts reporting this

[Hunble]

If I ever personally witness such an action, that person will be hospitalized.

I watched this shit happen during Vietnam.

NEVER AGAIN!

While our soldiers are risking their lives in Iraq, it is our job to watch their backs. Even if I must go to prison, that is my sworn duty.

"Yep and it's about time some one in the media starts reporting this"

I don't think Rush has talked about this story, as of yet. Perhaps he'll pick it up tomorrow. When I was a subscriber, I noticed he always had Drudge's home page up on his computer screen at all times. Hopefully this will do the trick.

[Dr Snide]

hey what do you know, it is begining to look like Vietnam. Talk about fighting the last war, did the call them "babykillers" for old times sake?

Curious: Doesn't say who provided the nasty sign mentioned. Thanks for the link. I looked at the signs in the photos and they read: "Real Support = Better Benefits" and "Funding for Wounded Not for War" and "Save Walter Reed." Those slogans don't sound like taunts to me.

If I ever see one of these mother-sheehan-fockers taunt a veteran, especially a wounded one, I may not win the battle but I will cause pain. I'm not kidding. I am willing to get arrested over it!

[putupjob]

I wonder how long it will be before John Kerry is testifying before Congress about how we are cutting heads off in Iraq, dismembering children, burning down villages, indiscriminately killing and bombing like he did in 1971.

Good think they're not Christians picketing an abortion clinic, then they'd really get their ass kicked...by the courts.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

The extreme lefty commies are right, it is beginning to look like Vietnam, complete with their hatred of all things American and spitting on the troops.

Hanoi jane and Winter Soldier kerry will appear any day now.
