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.”

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.

They have changed their tactics several times over the past twelve weeks that FReepers have been countering them. To see some of their more reprehensible signs, click the links below:

You need to read some of the earlier AARs then. There are pics w/ that sign. Also about someone holding a sign up that sez "Sign up here to die for HALLIBURTON!"

I've seen these personally and have much video footage of what this trash puts on their signs.

How about this?

CODE PINK-O supplied the signs.
