What losers! Despicable creeps.

If we are waiting for the MSM to respond with legions of cameras and breathless, earnest newspeople doing interviews like they do with Sheehan, we have a long wait. CNS is doing a service by interviewing these wretched scum and putting them on the record.

This is the sort of thing our ancestors invented tar and feathers for...

Try and get a permit to protest outside an abortion clinic and see what happens.

I shouldn't have said "shamed." You are right that they are immune from that.

What I met to say was "discouraged" in that they would conclude that their event was so small compared to ours that they would decide to abandon their blood dance.

You're right that it's not in the nature of most conservatives to demonstrate. It's a kind of "in your face" here are my ideas. It took me some time to get used to it.

The problem is that conservatives yielding the streets to the leftists means that the leftists get publicity with little or no challenge.

Our troops won a military victory in Vietnam only to have it turned into a political defeat at least partly because it was not in conservatives' nature to challenge leftists' street demonstration based media manipulation. I will do all in my power to avoid a similar result this time, even if I have to hold a sign, stand near America-hating traitors, miss a ball game, and do other things that are not in my nature.

Our troops are dodging bullets and bombs. The troops aren't letting us down. We have to cover their backs, protect them from being stabbed in the back by leftist traitors like the Pinkos who've endorsed the "Iraqi resistance" (their term for Al Qaeda and allies in Iraq).

Thanks for considering this.

Please consider this as well. It's like DC Chapter are settlers on the frontier surrounded by Indians and we are keeping the Indians (leftists) from the warpath. Then someone, who lives 500 miles from the Indians, shouts that settlers should be killing all Indians. Our local Indians will hear that and take it out on us. And I want the settlers and Indians to get along, especially since the Indians outnumber us here.

Pathetic. Proof that anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-American leftwing vermin do not "support the troops". They loathe the military.

We know most of the George Bush supporters have never spent a day in uniform, have never been closer to a battlefield than seeing it through the television screen

And I'm sure protestors like Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan, and Michael Moore have all donned the BDU's for their country.

Someone needs to post some signs for the protestors to read:

If it weren't for brave and noble Americans like the ones you now demean, cowardly dregs like you wouldn't have the right to assemble for your disgusting displays.

Why bother, they'd probably tell you that it was some legal battle and moral superiority that allows them to Protest. Look at the comments Zell Miller made at the RNC. Look at how well they embraced those. Logic and reason and absent of the left, that's why they aren't right :)

They support the troops. It's just that they support the troops on the other side.

The Pinkos have endorsed the "Iraqi resistance" (their term, 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.

Code Pink (CP) pretends to be supporting the troops, an unbelievable lie. CLICK TO HEAR A WAV-FORMAT SOUND FILE (OR RIGHT CLICK TO SAVE AND LISTEN LATER) (76 sec, 826 K): This is me debating Chief DC Pinko Gael Murphy about her support of the troops - on the other side.

The Pinkos pretend to be protesting the fact that the military admits patients at night, a cover-up according to the Pinkos. The military says that the admissions are simply based on airplane schedules from Europe and the Middle East that land at nearby Andrews AFB in the late afternoon. Some patients are checked by AF doctors and the patient bus takes them to Walter Reed AFTER the rush hour ends.

Interestingly, the Pinkos have had no signs displayed about the nightly admissions for weeks and weeks now. They do have signs proclaiming support for better veteran benefits. In addition to demoralizing the wounded troops, their evil scheme is designed to entice wounded soldiers or family members to turn against the war, the military, and the President (i.e., turn into latter-day John Kerrys or Cindy Sheehans).

We have brought hell to these people, but peacefully and lawfully. Here's what you can do. Find out what CP is up to in your neck of the woods. Probably they are protesting at military recruiting stations. You and other FReepers can go and peacefully counterprotest.

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.

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.

CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (OR RIGHT CLICK TO SAVE AND LISTEN LATER) (76 sec, 826 K): This starts with Murphy accusing us of being filled with hate. (Laughable. 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.

I agree the effect would likely be minimal, but who knows, maybe there are a few who got caught up in the propaganda and might be open to taking an honest look if confronted with the sorry truth of the "protestors". If good men do nothing, the trash has an unimpeded path.

Ya think there would be at least some decent human beings on the DC police dept. who would make this whole display disappear...like "do you have a permit to for this demonstration? No? Well, then you'll have to move along."

Now I have to call DC & Seattle today. For those who don't already know this, there were two soldiers beaten severely in Seattle on July 31 and the media just now reported last night. Video of the beating, yet to my knowledge NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE!

I hope ALL FREEPERS WILL CALL THE SEATTLE MAYOR AND DEMAND ACTION, ESPECIALLY SEATTLE FREEPERS!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

"I am more offended by the fact that many were maimed for life. I am more offended by the fact that they (wounded veterans) have been kept out of the news," said Kevin McCarron, a member of the anti-war group Veterans for Peace.

So which circus performer is McCarron?

Squeegee Guy, Blue Ponytail Guy, Latex Guy, or the Bearded Lady?

This is the modern day DNC. These tactics will guarentee election loses for a long time. It's gonna get ugly for the DNC as now these groups run it and will demand all democrat candidates meet their standard or no financial support. I read, "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" by I do not remember the name of the author and he said that the reason Republicans are winning are 2 fold, national security and culteral sanity. Hillary will not be able to pull it off as these people are now the face of the democrat party. The ? would be, who will she answer to?
