On Dec 23, we had a great turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond, despite it being two days before Christmas. This was probably the warmest Walter Reed FReep this month. This was FReep #36 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center for 9 months now. As happened last week, Santa Claus attended, as did many of his helpers, and a couple of his reindeer. Santa and the other FReepers chanted and shouted at the Pinkos for much of the time. Unlike last week, there was very little police presence tonight.
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. (Indeed, Code Pink seems to be phasing out most of their participation in the protest and turning it over to other groups.)
Please join us this Friday, Dec. 30, at 6:30 pm per details below. Please also bump this thread to keep it on top. 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" (search for the word "mothers" to get to the right location). Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops.
Although many of the troops will have gone home to their families this weekend, some will still be at Walter Reed. We will be there for them, the night before New Year's Eve.
We had pizza, coffee and hot chocolate on site. knuthom, who lives too far away to attend these FReeps, had kindly sent the money for coffee and hot chocolate. We are most thankful to her.
We also received some great orange-tangerine cookies from freema, who kindly sent them for our enjoyment after the cookies were made by her daughter, Barbara, and her daughter's friend, Samantha.
The honor roll of those in attendance (lurkers are marked with an asterisk*):
ALlRightAllTheTime, beandog, Bill* from MD, bmwcyle and daughter, BufordP, Concretebob, daughterofTGSL, Doctor Raoul, Dustin10thMountain, Emily*, Ethel*, feefee from KY (!), Fraxinus, George*, Joan* from MD and son, Josh*, Justanobody, kristinn, Laura* from FL (!), Lauren*, Nina0113, PleaDeal, Richard*, Ryan*, SonOfTGSL, tgslTakoma, Tom the Redhunter, trooprally (Mr. and Mrs.), Tunehead54 and his wife and three children from FL (!), and BillF and his brother, the latter being an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran.
We were pleased to have 7 FReepers from Florida, who may have brought up some warm air for us, and 1 FReeper from Kentucky.
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.

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 bmwcyle (click here for his full outstanding collection of photos), PleaDeal (click here for her account and full outstanding collection of photos on her great blog), tgslTakoma (click here for her full outstanding collection of photos), 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 PleaDeal begin with "Dplea," photos taken by tgslTakoma begin with "Dtgsl," and photos of mine begin with "DSCN." I have cropped some of the photos of others.]
See also the great blogs of some of our regulars: Landry Fan (click here for her second hand account of the FReep), tgslTakoma (click here) and Tom the Redhunter (click here); although neither of the last two have published an account of Friday's fun FReep.]
Opposed to our 38 patriots, the Pinkos managed to get at most 14 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, called our troops "killers" (search for the word "mothers" to get to the right location), endorse "the Iraqi resistance" (those killing and wounding our troops, see here and here), and have given money to "the other side" in Fallujah.
After being absent for 4 weeks in a row, Chief DC Pinko Gael Murphy decided that it was warm enough for her to show up. (Temperature was around 50 degrees.) Unfortunately, Murphy's heart remained cold as ice as she continued the Code Pinkos' psych-op against our war-wounded heroes two days before Christmas.

A Walter Reed employee told us that he had been watching the Friday contests for weeks. He noticed that our side always looked happy and animated. The Pinkos looked down and out every week, he said.
Tonight was no exception as BufordP played Santa, directing verbal barrage after barrage. With Doctor Raoul, tgslTakoma, and Coop leading other verbal broadsides on the Pinkos' treason, the Pinkos looked like their best friend (Osama or al-Zarqawi?) had died.
The Pinkos read our reports and we don't want them to get too down and out because of Halliburton, Dielbold, and the whole rest of it. I urge them to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-BUSH-WON! Just because President Bush is the Road Runner and you Pinkos are the Coyote it doesn't mean that you'll lose every time. Just try to buy your supplies from somewhere other than Acme. I hear Halliburton has a good subsidiary that sells items designed to catch Road Runners.
(The "President as Road Runner leftists as Coyote" idea is from PJ-Comix great Dummies Funnies threads, and as recently reinforced by Doctor Raoul here.)
The Pinkos have no heart, as shown by their taunting and slandering war wounded outside an army hospital. Whether they have brains is in question. Who else sings nutty songs to an action figure for children? (The latter being a reference to their campaign against GI Joe.)
The police, who had been out in large numbers last week after a certain Whiny Weasel had complained that our counter-protest was disturbing him, were relatively sparse on this night. A three officer foot patrol walked down the Pinko side of the street and then walked back along our side of the street without stopping to talk with FReepers. If the Pinkos had called in the police presence last week as we surmised per details in last week's report, the police have realized that the Pinkos' complaints are without sufficient merit to justify continued heavy police presence.
And don't get me wrong, we like police out in force just in case. Gael Murphy, Bruce Wolf, Whiny Weasel, "Maimed for a Lie" McCarron or Crazy Backpack Arse Wipe Guy (formerly, Crazy Backpack Guy, new nickname based on his discussion of using the American flag "to wipe your arse" a few weeks back {search for "arse wipe" in the thread}) may finally have a complete breakdown (it could happen) and react violently to our verbal, non-threatening, non-intimidating, free-speech-protected, taunts.
Clearly they and the other Pinkos and their eunuchs must realize by now that we are not there to fight them. (If we were, they would have been in a hospital and we would have been in jail by now.) No, we don't believe in immoral, illegal, violence in American internal political struggles. We are winning at the ballot box, with the inadvertent help of the Pinkos and their whacked out leftist loon allies, not to mention Halliburton and Diebold. We are there to laugh at the Pinkos, peacefully, lawfully, and in the best tradition of free speech. This ain't junior high, we're not meeting them at the flagpole (hell, they probably would have burned the flag already), but we are going to laugh at them and they've given us plenty to laugh at.
More importantly, we are there to encourage our troops and negate the nasty and vicious presence of the Pinkos. Our soldiers deserve to be greeted by cheers, not jeers.
It was unclear whether the three officer foot patrol was there as a carry over from last week, just as a token follow up on whatever outrageously false accusation Code Pink made against us or if it was simply a response to some other series of crimes in the neighborhood.

Did I mention that the Pinkos were pretty down and out, even more so than usual? Well, we did rain on their parade so to speak. A sampling of some of our shouts and chants (WAV format files) are downloadable below for your listening enjoyment. Keep in mind that it would never occur to us to hold anti-Pinko demonstrations outside a hospital where Pinkos were recuperating. We would never hold "Maimed for a Lie" or similar signs (even if we thought that they were maimed for a lie) for Pinkos and their families and friends to see at such a hospital. Decent people of whatever political stripe do not demonstrate to undermine patients at hospitals. We would never do anything so disgusting, but the sicko Pinkos do it every week. And considering that the Pinkos are that disgusting, it should be appreciated that our taunts are aimed at halting, or reducing the effectiveness of, their attempts to rub salt in the war-wounds of our heroic troops. You must hear the sound files below to appreciate why the Pinkos don't enjoy our presence. CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (or right click to "save as" to your hard drive for later listening) (16 sec, 182 Kb): Doctor Raoul leading a chant, SHAME ON CODE PINK. IT'S CHRISTMAS. LEAVE THE WOUNDED ALONE! A stronger version of that chant was also used during the night: SHAME ON CODE PINK. IT'S CHRISTMAS, YOU BASTARDS. LEAVE THE WOUNDED ALONE! |

CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (51 sec, 563 Kb): BufordP as Santa puts a whole new spin on the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," including I CAN SEE YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING 'CAUSE I GOT THE NSA AND HALLIBURTON" This Santa was a nightmare for the Pinkos and left them reeling, especially when combined with the peaceful, lawful, comments of the other FReepers. CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (22 sec, 238 Kb): tgslTakoma goes after the Pinko eunuchs. GAIL MURPHY IS A BIGGER MAN THAN [list names of specific Pinko eunuchs] MAYBE GAIL HAS AN EXTRA SET OF LITTLE PINK BALLS FOR YOU BOYS. This refers, of course, to the fact Code Pinko women gave little pink balls to Howard Dean and others, saying that they were giving the men "the balls to get the US out of Iraq." You can't make this stuff up, but the Pinkos do it. And speaking of Gael Murphy, I see that a Halliburton mole within Code Pink has succeeded in placing the most unflattering photo of her on their own web site. |

One of the humorous events of the night was when Eric Squeegee Guy showed up late. The FReepers started chanting SQUEEGEE, SQUEEGEE, SQUEEGEE, as though he was the guest of honor at an office party. He's a star, destined for his own sit-com.

When the Pinkos met together to pack up at the end, Doctor Raoul led us in chanting: GAEL, YOU FAILED, GIVE YOURSELF A PINK SLIP!
There was no bus of wounded troops returning from Fran O'Brien's so the real highlights of the evening occurred when two soldiers separately stopped by to talk with us and thank us for being out there supporting them and opposing the Pinkos.
One was a soldier in a wheelchair brought out to meet us with the help of his friend, Big John, a guy who helps lead the great Adopt-A-Soldier program. Kevin in the wheelchair had some choice words to describe the Pinkos. (John is a Vietnam veteran who spent a long-time as a patient in Walter Reed quite a few years ago.)
Tunehead54's young son got to shake Kevin's hand and was thrilled to do so and talk with him. When a child that young realizes that the true heroes are those who go into harm's way for the rest of us - police, firefighters, and our military - his parents are doing something really right.
The other soldier, who also thanked us for being there, was a young women soldier. She was in Iraq for 14 months and injured slightly (so they thought at the time) by an IED about 4 months in. Later on, the doctors found out that the explosion had damaged her spine, in a manner that worsened over time. She has good mobility walking on her own, so it seems they have it under control for now.
We thanked both soldiers for their service. Without them, America could never be free.
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, and their families have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink and their ugly anti-troops agenda.
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. If some are immune to embarrassment, and, 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?
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.
Thanks to Landry Fan for editorial assistance and error-checking. Any remaining errors were probably added by me after her review.
Can you sacrifice an evening to honor the much greater sacrifice that the troops are making for our freedom?
FReepers will continue FReeping the Code Pinkos every Friday night until they stop their obscene blood dance outside the hospital of our war-wounded. If you agree with me that it is outrageous for Code Pinkos to demonstrate at a hospital with war-wounded troops inside, please come out and join us in a peaceful counter-protest.
One of the amputees told me months ago that he doesn't want other wounded troops coming into Walter Reed and seeing only the Code Pinkos at the gates. He explained that the FReeper presence there was extremely important to counter the Pinkos. Please join us and be a part of our peaceful counter-protest to Code Pink.
Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.
Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.
Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW
Code Pinkos have been setting up on the southwest corner of the Georgia Ave/Elder St intersection. We've been setting up on the northeast corner across the street from Walter Reed's entrance gate. Now, their permit purportedly covers both corners on the west side of the street.
On street parking is usually easy to find. The location is about 6 or 7 blocks from Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride. If you want a ride, FReepmail me as far in advance as possible, preferably including your cellphone number. If you wait until Friday afternoon, I may be away from my computer.
FReepmail me to get on or off the list.
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 signs) demonstrations at the hospital.
Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?
If you're in the DC area and don't have family or work considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
Your name is in the report.
We are honored by your support and that of your daughter and her friend.
Your kindness is mentioned in the report.
Thank you again for supporting us in supporting the real heroes, our troops.
You guys/Gals RULE! GREAT JOB.
I miss you guys!
You people are awesome. Sorry I live so far away. Thank you, thank you on behalf of the vets.
FReep with us again, tomorrow night, or at least early in the new year.
Happy New Year!
Thank you for the kind words.
The troops are really awesome and we want to make sure that they know that we appreciate them as the source of our freedom.
Week after week, there are fewer women showing up for the Code Pink blood dance. I think they only had four (genetically speaking) women on their side. The rest were (nominally) men.
Our side, however, is pretty much equally represented by real men and real women, with real jobs and real families.
I appreciate all those Freepers that can be there. They represent all of us that can't make it. Thank you all for supporting our troops.
It was great to meet you and Laura in person and FReep with you both.
Thanks for standing up for the troops.
(And thanks for cheering the Redskins to victory.)
Happy New Year!
LOL.
I think that Crazy Backpack Arsewipe Guy may have been reacting to something that Coop said.
Do you remember what it was, Coop?
bump for later.
Technically that's Pinko Stage Left...
No...not "The Craw"..."The Craw"!!!
That's right. Thanks, BillF, for the work you do creating the report.
GOOD ONE!!!!!!!
Wait a minute, it says "Home" on his sign,
hey every Shahid, Jihad at Kevin's, who's got
the goat dip?
BufordP, now that is outstanding. You are a great Santa.
