I take no offense at Fraxinus' request to leave the Code Pinko lady at home.

I will tell you what inspired the sign. I began my FReeping career single handedly taking on 150 Women in Black. For some reason having one middleaged woman carrying a flag and a SUPPORT THE TROOPS sign bothered them greatly.

They hissed rude remarks behind my back as they marched by (it was supposed to be a silent march). Many of the "ladies" wore Code Pink badges. One of them stuck a camera in my face and repeatedly had the flash going off - in broad daylight - so that it was difficult to see for a few minutes afterwards.

One of Code Pink's early street theatre bits was to parade around in hot pink undies which went over well in the more rad urban areas like NYC and SF.

A lot of the "ladies" did not have the kajones (maybe it was too cold at the time) to do this so they wore the undies over black leotards.

I felt a 5 o'clock shadow would be representative of the growing number of males supporting their antics.

The hammer & sickle tattoo symbolize their real agenda.

"Fruit of the Loon" is self-explanatory.

The Uh-oh Code Pinko sign made it's debut in DC at a counter-protest to a huge ANSWER march.

While holding it, a young rad female marcher screamed "How can you do that to your fellow womyn?" and shortly afterwards some limp wristed protester threw an egg which hit the tartan I was wearing but rolled unbroken onto the grass.

At that point I considered the sign a tremendous success.

In honor of their hard work and dedication to our Troops and to the cause of Freedom, the sign was donated to the DC Chapter of Free Republic.
