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

The White House Press Corps was still with the president.

Damn them! Don't they know who I am!

Did anyone hear the Code Pink person on Hananity today? She had the smarmy voice of a death and dying counselor, saccharine with sweet reasonableness, false compassion and superiority. Hannity wasn't buying it and didn't waste time before exposing her for what she is. She's supposed to be on his TV show tonight; wonder if she'll make it...

I was lurking here for about a year before I found out about this weekly Freep.

Let me say, Fraxinus, that we are very happy that you did find out about it. IIRC, you've been coming out every week since.

Thank you for giving up your Friday nights for "a just and noble cause."

:-)

Thanks for the information:

Within months, his campaign came to Vacaville to visit Cindy Sheehan. She knew of his support of Al Sadr. The family became mezmorized with Kerry and his campaign embraced her, tying her into other organizations to support his campaign. They paid her expenses to travel across the United States supporting him.

When asked why she would support the man who supported the terrorists who were killing soldiers and had killed her son, there was no response. She seemed conflicted.

Behind all of this, is John Kerry and his group of radicals, once more, trying to demoralize our troops and jeopardizing our children.

If that was the same "Lynn" person (didn't catch her last name) who was on the show tonight, she's a lying SOS. She said she's been to the Walter Reed rallies almost every weekend. I've been going for a couple of months, and I've NEVER seen her.

Isn't all the outrage here just dandy? Think we'll see any of it on Friday?

Don't know, but I'll bet we see some on Saturday, halfway accross the country.

Are you saying that Walter Reed is allowing this outside its gates, allowing this to happen to its patients?

It's a public sidewalk. The first amendment still applies. Unless one could make the case (to a DC jury??) that what they are doing constitutes giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States (it does of course), there's not much the government can do.

That's where we FReepers come in. Anyone within a couple of hours of DC ought to be there. Tomorrow and every other Friday until the Code Pinkos et. al. give up and go home.

can we hurt them now???

Not yet. DC laws are a lot different, but in Texas, one can use force, even deadly force to protect others (or yourself) from serious injury or death. One can use less than lethal force to protect property of others or yours. Under many circumstances, one can use deadly force to protect property as well.

If any of them lays a hand on one of our Troops, or veterans, or anyone else, then we can hurt them. Although in most cases the troop or veteran will take care of the problem themselvs. That's as it should be.

How can they earn anything more than laughter and disdain from "normal people" just passing them by on the street. Really, what a bunch of saps if they think this is winning people over.

You would think so. Heck I would think so, if I hadn't seen it all happen before. Starting around 1970. You'll recall that we finished Second in the Southeast Asian War Games, despite winning every event.

Then it only cost someone else's country. This time the other side came here to kill us, and is continuing to try to do so. Losing this one is not going to make them stop. It will only encourage them to do more than they did before we took the fight to them.

Wish I could be there, too. I'm about as far from DC as you can get and still be on the North American Conttinent.

drove around and ran over the crosses,

Which were illegally place in the public right of way. In this case the so called "bar ditch", which isn't really a ditch in the way most folks think of it, it's a just a graded slope on the edge of the road, often not all that steep or deep. It's not graded as often as the road proper, if the road proper is gravel, rock or caliche. (look it up :) ) This road is none of those, but rather a "blacktop" road.

Any soldier that responded, would be prosecuted under the UCMJ.

Responded to words, yes indeed. Responded to actions, such as shoves, punches, etc. No. Even in the former case, if they aren't in uniform, and are off-duty, and off base/post/station, it become a town matter, with punishment under UCMJ only coming after the civilian system is done with them. No civilian conviction, no military action.

Indeed. I'm glad to see the caravan has been receiving media attention and being greeted by decent crowds.

This is a grass roots thing. Invite all of your contacts. Meet up with other troop supporters in your community. Post notices around your town. Contact your local Radio stations and ask for a public service announcement. Contact your local paper and ask for them to do a human interest story. Perhaps your newspaper might even provide a photographer to take the group photo. Just get your town to turn out.
