Stung by the success and resilience of the patriotic counter-demonstration by Freepers of Code Pink's ghoulish 'antiwar' protests outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Code Pink leader Gael Murphy and a couple Pinkos distributed flyers door to door to the houses in a several block area around Walter Reed urging residents to call the police in order to run off the D.C. Chapter from there.
The two sided flyers featured a graphic promoting the 'antiwar' activities in Washington next weekend on one side and a letter from Code Pink to the residents in the Walter Reed neighborhood on the other.
The letter is typical Code Pinko propaganda. They give the residents their same old line about they care for the soldiers, blah, blah, blah. They don' t tell them that Code Pink endorsed Al Qaeda in Iraq and gave $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallaujah.
In the letter, they also warn the residents to expect a much larger crowd next Friday because of the 'antiwar' rally.
Code Pink closes the letter by accusing us of "disrupting the quiet" of the neighborhood because we "often yell and raise (our) voices in anger" at Code Pink.
Code Pink then tells the residents, "Please know that you can contact the Washington DC Police Department to ask that peace and quiet be restored."
Unfortunately for Code Pink, the D.C. noise ordinance doesn't apply until 10 p.m. Being that we have a demonstration permit and only use our unamplified voices to direct our comments across the street, our activities fall under First Amendment protections.
Also, out of respect for the neighbors, we keep it down after 9 p.m. (One of the two corners we stand at is in front of the end of a block of row houses. The other corner is in front of a parking lot for a church that doesn't hold services Friday evenings.)
Code Pink, of course, cares nothing for the 'quiet' of the soldiers and their families as they try to put their lives together at Walter Reed. They care only about lowering morale and trying to bring about the defeat of America in the war.
Code Pink can't beat Freepers mano a mano, so they tried a sneaky trick to get us run off by the police.
It is worth noting that yet again a Code Pinko came across the street and tried to start a fight. The 'man' chickened out and went back to his corner when bmwcyle informed him that the police had told us to call them if any of the Code Pinkos came across the street to harrass us.
Dear DC Chapter Stalwarts, can't this latest tactic be countered with flyers of our own? "What You Should Know About Code Pink" - with some of the quotes supporting the 'insurgents' from CP leaders. Telling neighbors that we are there to support and encourage the soldiers, CP is there to demoralize them. Perhaps include some quotes from the soldiers who come out to thank you.
Let me know if I can help with this. I am in CA, so cannot come physically, but I can put a flyer together from a distance!
Don't wait until you're no longer needed.
;-)
The scan was a nice touch, wsan't it?
How pathetic these Pinkos are! I was there last night but didn't see this post until just now, so wasn't aware of this latest stunt of theirs.
I'm not trying to preempt BillF's coming post on last night, but this is relevant to the flyer:
Last night, just like they did the week before, the Pinkos packed up and went home promptly at 9pm before the busload of troops arrived. My guess is that they do this so as to maintain the falsehood that what they are doing is holding a "vigil", in support of the troops. Of course, before the CNS story came out, they had no problem in showing their signs to the returning soldiers. They don't fool anyone.
Let's not stoop to their level.
Good to see you again. I hope to come to DC and freep with you again.
I love you guys and I miss all of you.
Just running through all the emotions that came upon me whilst viewing this.

That is the true Libs view of Freedom of Speech.. There ALL FOR IT as long as you agree with them... LMAO!
You mean I've got to walk the walk instead of type the talk?
I'm sure they will find a new gripe ti bitch about, but I do understand your point.
Their bs sure is getting old.
She does. Her RICH CONTRACTOR father.
Medea Benjamin, the founder of Code Pink, Global Exchange, and the mastermind behind the violent anti-World Trade Center riots in Seattle. Benjamin enjoys a close working relationship with Cindy Sheehan as part of the professional antiwar fringe. Medea, a longtime admirer of Fidel Castro, with the help of fellow Castroite Leslie Cagan, founded the International Occupation Watch. Established in the city of Baghdad during the height of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Benjamin said its stated goal was to get as many U.S. troops as possible to declare themselves conscientious objectors and be sent home. Through Code Pink, she even managed to take $600,000 of cash, medicine, and supplies to the other side in the Iraqi terrorist capital of Fallujah (possibly the whereabouts of Casey Sheehan's murderers). In an essay in Nation magazine, Benjamin spelled out a long-term strategy to deflate the U.S. military presence in Iraq and around the world.
Benjamins anti-American foreign policy views are seemingly shared by Kathy Kelly, with whom Cindy shared the stage during antiwar protests. Kelly is the Director of Voices in the Wilderness, which violated UN sanctions against Saddam Husseins Iraq in the 1990s. Kelly visits political prisoners held captive by the United States
in Iraq. She has spoken at numerous campuses, often with radical Islamists, and has supported the Nicaraguan Sandanistas. In late 2003, Kelly received a three-month sentence for trespassing at Ft. Benning, Georgia, during a massive protest against the anti-Communist School of the Americas.
David Fenton has been laying the propaganda groundwork the Left needs to justify its anti-American policies for nearly a generation. A one-time photographer for the Weathermen, a left-wing terrorist organization, as well as a partisan calling for the liberation of South Vietnam, Fenton went on to angle the U.S. media on behalf of the Nicaraguan Sandanistas and the Marxist regime of Grenada. Fenton Communications was soon enlisted to popularize the George Soros-funded MoveOn.org and the Win Without War Coalition. In 2004, Cindy Sheehan appeared in an anti-Bush TV commercial, paid for by a 527 group known as Real Voices, which were distributed by
Fenton Communications. Coincidentally, David Fenton also promotes the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, another organization of left-wingers making political capital from the death of their loved ones.
Fenton is not Sheehans only public relations conduit. Her statements are also distributed by the Institute for Public Accuracy, the organization that sponsored Sean Penns trip to Baghdad on the eve of war. The day after September 11th, this taxpayer-funded entity offered expert testimony on terrorism to credulous media outlets. One IPA-sanctioned spokesman said Osama bin Ladens handiwork holds up a mirror to U.S. policy of causing massive civilian suffering in Iraq
[W]e hope that along with the grief, we can
form deeper compassion and understanding. The IPA is a member organization of United for Peace and Justice, the mainstream face of the antiwar movement, which held many of the major antiwar demonstrations in 2003 and was founded by
Communist Party member Leslie Cagan.
