Abusing Wounded Heroes [WashTimes on Pinkos at Walter Reed - Join us Sept 2]

The leftist protesters who gather every Friday night outside Walter Reed Medical Center are inspired by a radical agenda that few if any soldiers share. The protesters -- organized by the radical antiwar group CodePink and others -- have been photographed with signs bearing insults like "Maimed for a Lie" and "Died for Halliburton." They have lined mock flag-draped coffins outside the hospital. These cannot be meant to heal the wounds of those whom the nation has sent to battle.

The protesters insist they have the soldiers' best interests at heart, and that they don't intend to demean anyone. This is nonsense and the protesters know it. They seek to use wounded soldiers to make a political statement. They are callous to the wounded and their families with their lectures to the injured about the circumstances of their injuries. They affect righteous indignation that anyone thinks their tactics repellant.

Great photos!

Would you kindly grant permission for me to incorporate a few of the photos, with accreditation to you, in the after-action report that I'm working on now? You caught some photos of a few features that I missed.

I'm in Ellicott City, but I can drive down US29 and reach Silver Spring easily.

Thanks for coming out last night.

The lefties were again verbally flogged by some very witty Freepers and FRiends.
