FReep 30 of Code Pink at Walter Reed, Nov 11 (Heavy graphics, Join us Nov 18!)
DC Chapter ^ | Nov. 18, 2005 | BillF with photos of others

Posted on 11/18/2005 12:35:05 AM PST by BillF

On Nov 11 we had a huge turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond on a cool, but relatively nice, evening.  This was FReep #30 as FReepers have countered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center as their have for over 7 months.  Leftists sent over a tag team to our side that included the "world's oldest community college student," but they were rebuffed. Pinko Eric "Squeegee Guy" provided us with some good laughs on his way as he left. We were pleased to have numerous veterans join us for the Veterans' Day FReep, including one Operation Iraqi Freedom vet and another vet who just returned from his stint as a contractor in Camp Fallujah, Iraq.

Code Pink is truly stuck in a quagmire as FReepers severely hinder the Pinkos' cynical attempts to manipulate severely wounded soldiers and relatives in hopes of finding those who will join the anti-war movement and break faith with the troops still fighting a ruthless enemy. Please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below.  Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed "the Iraqi resistance" (as they call our enemy, 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.

Please join us this Friday, Nov 18, at 6:30 pm per details below.

To help people get there on time, without having to stop for dinner, we got pizza on site at the FReep.

The honor roll of those in attendance (lurkers are marked with an asterisk*): Abby4116, Albion Wilde, ALlRightAllTheTime, Apple Blossom, beandog and son, Bill* from MD, Black Republican, bmwcyle, bstein80, BufordP, Coop, Dee* (she gave me what I thought was a screen name, but there was no such name) and husband and grandson, Doctor Raoul, Eric* from MD, Fraxinus, Hartleyboy, Honest Conservative, Iraqikurd, Jack Deth, jhopkins, Jimmy Valentine’s brother, Joan* from MD, JoyjoyfromNJ, Justanobody, kristinn, Mr. Sarcastic, Mrs. Sarcastic, NerdwithaMachineGun, Nina0113, Oscar*, PleaDeal, Sisku Hanne, SonOfTGSL, TBP and wife, tgslTakoma, Tom the Redhunter, trooprally (two FReepers: Mr. & Mrs.), and BillF and brother. That's 44 of us and included numerous FReepers who traveled the extra mile by coming from far away.

The event was so large that I can only present that part of the story that I saw. If you were there, please describe your own experiences at the FReep. Also, let me know if I publish your photo without your name or, worse, I mislabel you in a photo.

[CLICK ON A PHOTO TO OPEN A LARGER VERSION IN A NEW WINDOW if it has a border around it. If a photo doesn't have a border, it is not hyperlinked to a larger version.  Click on another photo and its larger version should open in the same window that the first enlarged photo did. Or you can simply close the window with the enlarged photo and click on another photo in the report to open a new window with an enlarged photo. Note that some of the wider photos may open in a window wider than your screen and you can use a horizontal scroll bar to see parts. Photos will be interspersed in the report.

Photos were taken by tgslTakoma (click here for her full outstanding collection of photos), bmwcyle (click here for his full outstanding collection of photos), trooprally (click here for his or her full outstanding collection of photos), NerdwithaMachineGun, and I.  The photographer can be determined from the name of the photo. You can see that on hyperlinked photos (i.e., borders at edge) by running your mouse over them. On other photos, right click on the photo and click properties. The key is this: photos taken by bmwcyle begin with "Dbmw," photos taken by tgslTakoma begin with "Dtgsl," photos taken by trooprally begin with "Dtroop," photos taken by NerdwithaMachineGun begin with "Dnerd,", and photos of mine begin with "DSCN."]

Opposed to our 44 patriots, the Pinkos managed to get, at most, only 39 America-hating traitors and their well-meaning, but incredibly-misguided, dupes. The dupes do not realize that their Pinko organizers, who claim to support our troops,  call our troops "killers,"  endorse "the Iraqi resistance" (those killing and wounding our troops, see here and here), and  have given money to "the other side" in Fallujah.

A view of the MOAB (Mother-of-all-Banners) at our main corner from across the street as taken after the leftists had fled the scene
and many FReepers had relocated to other corners. This is what the leftists see, except that many more FReepers are around the
MOAB.

We had a large number of patriots at our main corner here (and at
secondary corner) until the leftists were gone and we spread out to
all four corners.
 

Another view of the main corner.

in background at right.

Pinkos left.

 

 

Four veterans: Jimmy Valentine's brother (Army), Jerry (AF,
brother of BillF, and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom), BufordP
(AF), and NerdwithaMachineGun (Army and just back from
Camp Fallujah, Iraq where he was a contractor)
 

 

I think that this is new FReeper, jhopkins

Grandson at side, this woman identified herself as d__, but
there was no such screen name. Maybe her real name is Dee?

 Among the FReepers and patriots who came out on this Friday, Veterans' Day, were some with special ties to Iraq. NerdwithaMachineGun was just back from Camp Fallujah, Iraq, where he had worked as a contractor. His vehicle was hit, albeit ineffectively, by an IED, during his last week in Iraq. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured and Nerd escaped with a bruise on his wrist from the vehicle bouncing around in the explosion. My brother Jerry, a former F-4 backseater, had volunteered for Operation Iraqi Freedom with the USAFR and served in Qatar and briefly in Iraq in 2003 in a support capacity.

We were also pleased to have JoyjoyfromNJ, who traveled to DC on her own, as well as four first-time Walter Reed FReepers brought in from distance by Doctor Raoul.

One of the FReepers' signs was outstanding.

PleaDeal with Carren and Chuck (now a Walter Reed patient)
 of the great From My Position... On the way! blog. Chuck wrote
his blog while serving in the Army in Iraq before serious injured
by an IED. One of many heroes at Walter Reed, who've humbled
us by coming over to thank the FReepers, he continues to write his
blog from the hospital and his wife writes on the blog as well.

FReeper sign on secondary corner points at leftists' pizza-slice-like sign. "GIVE PIZZA CHANTS!"

Totally disregarding the danger of global warming, the leftists burn their candles, but still can't get their flag to ignite.

Pinkos' main corner. November 11 marks the Armistice which ended World War I. Germany and its allies basically surrendered and
limited their future military power by treaty, which treaty was later broken by Hitler's German government. Do you suppose that
the Pinkos want Zarqawi to surrender and to stop blowing up weddings with suicide bombers?

Traitors at the gates as Pinkos' secondary corner includes another mini-banner.

 

Crazy backpack guy on left and Bruce Wolf wearing his usual
blue shirt, blue jeans.
 

Perry plays guitar on left ("The Internationale?") and Chief DC
Pinko Gael Murphy gives the V for victory sign, victory for "the
Iraqi resistance" as she calls the terrorists who became the worst
wedding crashers in history in Jordan recently.

 

If this guy was 17 years old, one could half-way understand the
naiveté of holding the sign on the left.

Bush bashing at the "very discreet, dignified project" (Code Pink's
 phrase for their obscene blood dance and anti-troop psych-op)

During the FReep, a Pinko guy (right side of left below photo) approached us from the front and asked if "there is anyone here who can engage in a reasonable discussion." During the commotion as people told him to return to his side, the leftist woman (right side of below photo) walked in behind our lines carrying a fancy camera. After being made aware of her presence, bmwcyle immediately asked her to leave. She claimed that she was press. He asked to see her press credentials. She had none, but suddenly make up a story that she needed photos for a class that she was taking at a local community college. bmwcyle told her that she would have to leave or the police would be called. She left. Shortly thereafter, the condescending "Mr. Reasonable" slinked back to the Pinko side.

 

"Mr. Reasonable" on right was the decoy.

 

bmwcyle sent the world's oldest community college student back
to her side
 

 

Pink Hat Pinko is writing a to do list: "give $
to terrorists
, call our troops 'killers,' endorse
'the Iraqi resistance'
, and then protest the war
at a hospital, pretending to support troops
that we call killers."
 

Then why did they give money to "the other
side" in Fallujah?

Is this leftist photog, a cleaned up weasel?

 

Pinko holds distorted peace symbol as Eric "Squeegee Guy"
looks on.
 

The Armistice banner of the Pinkos seemed to conflict with another banner that they pulled out. It was a pink sheet that said "Pray for the dead, fight like hell for the living." When FReepers asked them "how could they fight like hell" if there was an armistice, they put the pink sheet away and keep it out of use.

The flash distorted the color of the oblong peace symbol at left. It was really pizza tomato sauce red.

Eric "Squeegee Guy" left the Pinkos early and had a surprise roll by on us. He had boarded a Metro transit bus. As it went by us, the bus slowed down and he waved a Cheney mask outside the bus window to great laughter from the FReepers.

Way to go, Squeegee! We didn't think that you had it in you, but you proved us wrong. I see a sit-com in his future.

So he's supporting Cheney in 2008. If Squeegee shouted anything, I didn't hear it, but I can guess ("put a real neo-con in the White House in 08"). At any rate, it was much better than the "I have a bullet at my place for you" line that he was said to have previously used on Rolling Thunder members.

After the Pinkos had withdrawn to escape being flipped off in mass by Walter Reed patients returning from a night on the town, and after some FReepers retook the Pinko side of the street, tgslTakoma took the photo showing that Pinkos left a partially burned cup and remnants of a candle (lower left of photo) on the ground. Not only do they add to global warming, but the Pinkos throw litter on the street.

As usual, when the bus of wounded troops and family members returned from their free meal at Fran O'Brien's, the bus riders and FReepers exchanged signals and shouts of appreciation for each others' presence.

Some FReepers then went onto the base to talk to the troops and express support for them, without regard to any political matters.

Let's help our wounded heroes maintain a positive attitude.  We absolutely must keep the pressure on Code Pink and keep showing the wounded troops at Walter Reed that Code Pink doesn't speak for the nation. If you live in the DC area and haven't yet come out for one of these FReeps, please do so this next Friday. Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.

If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their commonly-used signs) demonstrations at the hospital. At the very least, we can hinder their psychological warfare operation against the wounded troops. What about you? Can you spare a few hours on a Friday night?  

Pinkos leave burned out candle-holding cup and candle remant

Can you give up next Friday night at the movies to support troops who've given up limbs for your freedoms? Will you?

This FReep is rewarding, fun, and important for our troops and our nation.

My face hurt for two days from laughing! Professor existential ("Why Isn't War a War Crime") pinko was such a doofus!.... "Why do we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?"- BWAHAHAHA!!!

Doc Raoul's tagline inspired a new nick for these dweebs: SCIFLA (the Socialist Commie Islamo-Fascist Love Association). Sounds like something that needs a stiff dose of penicillin!

Last night on Hannity & Combs Sean interviewed two Gold Star Dads (can't recall their names). One of them said he had visited a wounded soldier at Walter Reed who had complained about the anti war protests outside Walter Reed. He and the recovering soldier felt they were demoralizing to the wounded soldiers and should be held at the Mall or any where else but at WR.

Might be a good time to contact H & C for a follow up about the freeps if any one has contacts there.

You DC freepers are AWESOME!!! Thank you for your efforts to support our troops!!

One of the folks you pinged advised me that you were at it again. Pathetic. btw...that picture you posted of yourself facing down that mean middle-aged pink woman was inspiring. You are right, I underestimated your courage. You are a true warrior.

Thanks, April. It makes me mad that they bring their politics and hatred of the military and the president to Walter Reed. The patients don't make policy. The families shouldn't have to see people protesting their loved one. Pinkos are vile.

That's especially funny when you consider that wonderful bit of Philadelphia slang, "skeevy", which means yucky, as in "Eeww, that's skeevy! I skeeve to that!" It comes from the Italian word "schifoso", which means disgusting.

God! I almost wish I lived back east so I could attend. The local Code Pinko website makes scant mention of the Walter Reed protest other than to seek volunteers. They NEVER have photos as that would reveal the low numbers they have. They must also have some very good word sensative filter for e-mail or a master list of people they do not want to hear from as I have had mail to them in which I laugh at thier Walter Reed efforts rejected more than once. LOL

Pinkos are twisted sick people to try psych ops against our wounded troops and their families. Then they whine and lie. Yuck.

Code Pink's Jodie Evans coming up on Laura Ingraham today. Sheehan to Crawford to T-day.

Tease was at 10:20 am, but I'm not sure when Evans comes on.

You have top register to listen here, but it's free:
