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.
Developing late...
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
I think it interesting that you use the word "coward" in this conversation. Also that you insinuate that "millions of people" will die if we do not subscribe to Hunble's commie pinko dental rearrangement plan.
I have come close to losing my cool in counterprotests to the point of being in a fight. But it eventually serves nothing to give in to it, esp. if you end up in jail next to the unwashed leftie and lose your job over an assault charge. Not real smart.
One more thing. Spare me the crap about being "afraid to stand up for what they [you] believe in."
You don't know whom you are talking to. Now go away before I toss you into my Transmogrifying Twit Filter (tm).
The pen is mightier than the sword. The Vietnam war was won on the ground but lost in the PR battle in the newsmedia. We are helping the PR side, every time a car passes us and gives us the high sign. Brave warriors are helping the battle side. Two different things.
You sound discouraged. Buck up! It's not going to be like last time...
One person alone does nothing. A few thousand people standing up and saying NO will get their attention.
But I am so proud of you!
You have provided all of us an outstanding example of how we can get our message on the daily evening news.
Got to say that Humble is making some good points. The media is not on our side no matter what we do. I'm not saying to just kick a$$ but all the PC stuff just isn't cutting it.
Once again, Drudge Sludge is slowwwwww the "breaking" news.
Thanks for the correction....but after I'd ring their bell a few times, they would spell it BELL-VIEW!
Don't bother talking to it anymore. It's not worth the time.
Behavior such as this for any issue is becoming Standard Operating Procedure for the left, and inceasingly the liberal near-center. This is disturbing. It's spreading.
This war is different. It truly is a battle of good vs. evil. In Vietnam, we were helping out another country for our indirect benefit; but in this war, the terrorists have hit us again and again, as well as London, Spain, Holland, and a multitude of points around the world.
Some of the protesters are stuck in the 60s and because they do not believe in God, are deriving self-righteous pride in protesting "war" that they are morally and physically unfit to fight, anyway. Others are truly evil. Others are just plain treasonous socialists who would use any excuse (believe me, they don't "support the troops" -- they don't give a ***k) to push their anti-American agenda.
I sympathize with the frustration of many of the posters here who wonder why our government doesn't prosecute treason and sedition. The answer is complicated and sad: after 40 years of Marxism in the universities trickling down to the teachers' unions, the "helping professions", the psych establishment and certainly the media, and after prayer having been chased out of school since the 60s and relentless ACLU persecution of religious expression, nearly half the nation simply hasn't a clue.
We still have to fight. The younger generations coming up are more conservative; they saw the damage done by hippies, divorce, AIDS and neglectful parents. They will read about our "forbidden" Constitution and Founding Fathers with the same zeal the 60s kids read underground lit. Generations alternate....
I have simply stated my own personal oath to God, as to what will happen, if I personally see a soldier being targeted.
What you do under these conditions, is your own personal choice.
However, I am calling some Freepers "cowards" for not standing up when they could have done something.
If you ever see a soldier being targeted, and you do nothing to stop it, then yes, I will call you a coward.
Political protests must always be civil and obey the laws.
Do you understand the difference?
The Code Pink "Message" is all over the map, varmintxer.
"Bring Our Children Home"
"Mained For A Lie"
"Real Support=Benefits"
While The Freep "message" is simple and hard-driven.
"We Support Our Troops"
Along with standing on corners and informing drivers stopped for lights. Or asking loudly across the street:
"What happened to the $65,000 that Code Pink donated in the name of Humanitarian Aid?"
"How many GIs did that money help kill or maim?"
Code Pink really hates it when we loudly ask those questions.
Words sting much more harshly and hurt (demoralize) them than physical violence.
Jack.

What PC stuff, specifically, are you talking about?
HONOLULU, August 23, 2005 - Delegates to the nation’s largest wartime veterans organization meeting here in national convention today vowed to use whatever means necessary to ensure the united support of the American people for our troops and the global war on terrorism.
Nuclear Option, perhaps?
" Do you understand the difference?"
Hell yes I do. I couldn't stand by and watch a vet being targeted.
HONOLULU, August 23, 2005 - Delegates to the nation’s largest wartime veterans organization meeting here in national convention today vowed to use whatever means necessary to ensure the united support of the American people for our troops and the global war on terrorism.
“Warriors, above all other people, pray for peace, for they must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war,” said Thomas P. Cadmus, national commander of The American Legion referring to Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s quote. “We had hoped that the lessons learned from the Vietnam War would be clear to our fellow citizens: public protests against the war here at home while our young men and women are in harm’s way on the other side of the globe only provide aid and comfort to our enemies. We understand that the terrorists they are engaging there would slit the throats of every American, adult and child, if they could.”
The resolution passed unanimously by 4,000 delegates to the annual event states: “The American Legion fully supports the President of the United States, the United States Congress and the men, women, and leadership of our armed forces as they are engaged in the global war on terrorism.”
“For many of us, the visions of Jane Fonda glibly spouting anti-American messages with the North Vietnamese and protestors denouncing our own forces four decades ago is forever etched in our memories,” Cadmus said. “We must never let that happen again. I assure you, The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom loving peoples.”
The measure recognizes that the global war on terrorism is as deadly as any war in which the United States has been previously engaged and that the President and Congress did authorize military actions in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
“No one respects the right to protest more than one who has fought for it, but we hope that Americans will present their views in correspondence to their elected officials rather than by public media events guaranteed to be picked up and used as tools of encouragement by our enemies,“ Cadmus said. “It would be tragic if the freedoms our veterans fought so valiantly to protect would be used against their successors today as they battle terrorists bent on our destruction.
“Let’s not repeat the mistakes of our past,” he added. ”I urge all Americans to rally around our armed forces and remember our fellow Americans who were viciously murdered on Sept. 11, 2001. We must commit ourselves to stand united together to defeat terrorism once and forever.”
The 2.7 million-member American Legion is the nation’s largest veterans organization.
Next week I thought about naming my team "George Bush rocks", or something similar.
My question is should I just let it slide and ignore it, or come up with a killer name to respond? I get along great with all there. A good mix of conservatives, libs, libertarians, and the apolitical frequent the place.
