Oh, Ok..... and look at this... a silly knucklehead making the VICTORY sign and holding up a peacenic sign...(*sigh*)
I just want someone to tell these freaks that this Is not Vietnam- there will be no woodstock and free drugs or fee mud slide.I think the guy with the guitar thinks a recording agent is close by. Was MTV there??? Doubt it.
First-timers don't often return, once they are educated by the words and signs from our side. Many of the peace crowd haven't done their homework, it seems; and they are shocked to hear that Code Pink's financial aid doesn't go to the US troops that they say they support, but to the insurgents killing our troops in Iraq. You should see the faces, especially when we let them know that Code Pink is also planning a trip to Cuba for New Years to celebrate the communist revolution down their, with their hero Comrade Fidel.
And one other thing... Code Pink promotes their WRAMC protest as a somber, respectful vigil. But with "Sing Along with Perry" as their headliner for a couple of months now, the somber, respectful vigil has become a little party, with singing, dancing, cheering and applause -- sometimes right beside their "Quiet Zone" sign.
They're in a real QUAGMIRE, I tell ya'.
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
