On Jan 6, the first FReep of the new year, we had a great turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond. It was too cold and windy to deploy the MOAB, Mother-of-all-Banners. This was FReep #38 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 10 months now. Code Pink was videotaped stealing one of the FReepers' signs and then caught red-handed (pink-handed?) after lying straight-faced to a police officer. This happened after a stunning and brilliant tactic devised by kristinn. The details are on this thread: Code Pink & Kevin McCarron Caught Pink-Handed Stealing Marine Parents' Sign at Walter Reed, but the basic story will also be included below. We were honored to be joined by the father and brother of Joshua Sparling, the war-wounded Walter Reed patient, who had received left-wing hate mail wishing for his death (see the multiple threads here). We were also honored to welcome a FReeper and his wife from Texas and her father from Italy.
Following a series of humiliating defeats inflicted upon them by the peaceful and lawful actions of FReepers, combined with their usual self-inflicted embarrassments, Code Pink has been stunned into virtual web silence about the vigil since mid-Nov. Unless they suddenly produce a slew of reports, Code Pink has published only one report (about Dec. 2) since their Nov. 18 report as you can see on their website: http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?list=type&type=81 (copy and paste the address at left into your browser to get there). 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. Code Pink seems to be phasing out most of their participation in the protest and turning it over to other groups as the number of Code Pink women has diminished considerably. Maybe they followed our advice and swam to Cuba? They are safe from the sharks because the sharks know that the Pinkos are too bitter to bite.
We are winning our psych-op against the Pinkos and hindering their heartless psych-op against our war-wounded troops. Please join us this Friday, Jan. 13, 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.
Your new year will not be complete until you FReep the Pinkos at Walter Reed. Make a late New Year's Resolution to join us soon.
You don't need to cut down on your expenses, such as skimping on country club or yacht club fees or the big bucks that you spend on ammunition for target practice and self-defense, in order to keep the resolution. Just a couple hours on a Friday night. Be there for our troops, who faced snipers, IEDs, suicide bombers, and other dangers defending America in the War on Terror. The Pinkos may resolve to be even more despicable in 2006, but we can and will be there to counter their anti-troops, defeatist agenda.
Lifting the spirits of our war-wounded heroes is what we aim to do. If you live in the area, please join us. If you really can't join us due to work, family, or medical reasons or you don't live in the area, you can help in other ways by contacting Coop, Landry Fan, or PleaDeal by FReepmail for ideas.
The honor roll of those in attendance (lurkers are marked with an asterisk*):
Albion Wilde; Apple Blossom; beandog; Bill* from MD; bmwcyle; Christopher Lincoln; Concretebob; Coop; daughterofTGSL; Dustin10thMountain; Fraxinus; George* and Ethel* from MD; IraqiKurd; Joan from MD*; Joshua Sparling’s Father and Brother; Justanobody; Kristinn; Landry Fan; Leofl, his wife, Monica*, (from Texas!), and her father, Antonio* (from Italy!); Nina0113; Paltz; PleaDeal; tgslTakoma; Tom the Redhunter; trooprally [Mr. & Mrs.]; and BillF.
We had pizza, coffee, hot chocolate, and various snacks on site.
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.

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.]

Opposed to our 31 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.
For months now, the Pinkos have also been illegally placing their banners on the Walter Reed fence, federal government (military) property. The military authorities have apparently been reluctant to enforce the law against political banners on military property, lest the Pinkos falsely paint military police as freedom-suppressing fascists.
Since the military was apparently waiving the enforcement of the law, FReepers have just as much right as hate-America traitors to place their banners on that military fence. kristinn came up with a outstanding plan to put such a banner on the fence and tgslTakoma and Mr. and Mrs. trooprally brilliantly implemented the plan.
The text of the sign, NO PROTEST ZONE- SOLDIERS HEALING, as shown on photo below, was influenced by a sign cynically used by the Pinkos. For months, they have used a QUIET ZONE SOLDIERS HEALING sign in a futile attempt to hide the cruelty of their blatant attempt to exploit war-wounded heroes for their twisted anti-American anti-military propaganda purposes. This QUIET ZONE sign was brought in when a much higher percentage of cars were honking to support us than were honking to support the Pinkos, even though we do not ask for honks and we are holding our action in the ultra-liberal bastion of Washington, DC. (Despite their QUIET sign, the Pinkos still continue to sing and play the guitar.)

Despite their laughably false, constant claim that they support the troops, the Pinkos apparently decided that the rights of the parents of a Marine (Mr. and Mrs. trooprally) were not to be recognized as Pinkos were videotaped taking down and stealing the trooprallys' sign. We knew before that the Pinkos were traitors and liars, but they added thieves to their personal descriptions. They could have just turned the sign backwards (i.e., no lettering visible) and left it in down on the ground or against the fence with lettering away from traffic. But no, they spirited it away and put it in Comrade Bruce Wolf's car per details below as quoted from tgslTakoma's great blog account:
A little guy we nicknamed "Weasel" handed Kevin "Maimed For A Lie" McCarron a knife. |

McCarron placed the sign in the vehicle and Bruce Wolf shut the car door and dutifully locked the car up. They apparently know that theft is a problem in that neighborhood in DC. |
tgslTakoma then called the police. An officer (photo left above) then came out, listened to the story, and then walked to the Pinko side with tgslTakoma and Mr. trooprally.

Basically, the Pinkos lied straight-faced to the officer (what a surprise, not!), denying any knowledge of the sign that they put into Pinko Bruce Wolf's car. Details are in the linked blog of tgslTakoma, but the Pinkos hesitated to produce the sign even after she showed the officer her video of them taking the sign. The officer told the Pinkos that the matter would get much more serious if they didn't cough up the stolen sign. They gave it back and tgslTakoma announced that she wanted to put it back where it was, despite the fact that the Pinkos now had their banner placed there. The officer declined tgslTakoma's request to return her sign to the fence, but asked the Pinkos to take their banner off the fence, which they did as Pink Hat Lady announced it was only "for the evening." Thus, the Pinkos started the evening caught on tape violating the rights of others and stealing, and then got nailed blatantly lying to a police officer. A lot of pink panties were bunched up on their side and I don't just mean the few, and decreasing weekly, number of women in the obscene blood dance. |

The Father and Brother of Joshua Sparling joined us and thanked us for being there for Joshua and the other wounded troops. We asked that they pass along our thanks to Joshua for his service and we thanked them for their own sacrifices for our country. We know that the families and loved ones of all our troops carry part of the burden, and that is especially true when their relative or loved one is injured or killed.

Whiny Weasel at right in above photo, who had tried to give up cigarettes weeks ago, was smoking like a chimney. BTW, Gael Murphy, who was a no show again with the weather being cold, was seen smoking a cigarette the night before when we saw her at the Moran-Murtha Townhall Meeting. Don't they realize how much tobacco money goes to the GOP? Anyway, thanks for the help Weasel and the evil Murph.
A highlight of evening usually occurs after the Pinkos are mostly gone, but the bus of wounded heroes returned from a free meal at Fran O'Brien's, a fancy DC restaurant, early on this night.. Most Pinkos were still there, albeit with their signs as down as much as their depleted spirits. The bus driver turned on the light in the bus and mutual cheers and waves went between the troops and the patriots.
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.
(I finished this too late to get this proofread by Landry Fan. It was a busy week.)
We shall 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 protest a war 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.
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. 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, your best hope is to FReepmail tgslTakoma, preferably with your cell phone number as far in advance as possible. I will be away from the computer much of the day tomorrow. (I haven't cleared this in advance with tgslTakoma, but I hope that she will be kind enough to help, if possible.)
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 some leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital. At the very least, we can peacefully and lawfully minimize the effect of their psych-ops against the troops.
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, work or medical considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
Weather alert for FReep time: temps in the mid 50s, wind 12 mph with 20 to 40 percent chance of rain. Therefore, it will probably be dry, but bring that rain gear, just in case.
Great direct action! Operatives should be promoted! Good post of action too.
Finally got the report up.
It was wonderful to meet you, your lovely wife, and your kind father-in-law.
You're a true patriot and I was proud to stand with you. Thanks so much for going the extra mile, literally, for our brave war-wounded troops.
Do your photo-edit magic, if you have the chance.
For those who have never posted a thread, in order to do a good one with pictures of different sizes, in different locations, then have links, and this week a video, it takes hours of time.
Speaking of time, BillF gets my vote for 'Man of the Year' if Time magazine ever allows for conservatives to vote.
[Mr] Trooprally
Support our troops AND THEIR MISSION BUMP! Wish I could join you guyz tonight.
It is another success. They did not leave happy. Gael Murphy is a fair weather protester.
Great job! You folks make me proud to be a Freeper!
Great Job! BTTT.
When tgslTakoma and I were over getting the sign back, I could not tell the guy maggots from the gal maggots. Bruce's 'wife' was a tall person that looked like ... well ... lets just say she doesn't need any photo cropping to distort her appearance.
Looks like rain coming in sometime tonight, everyone needs to siren wrap their signs.
[Mr] T
Thus, the Pinkos started the evening caught on tape violating the rights of others and stealing, and then got nailed blatantly lying to a police officer.
It's not like we had someone hiding in the bushes videotaping this theft. We had about 15 of us on our side of the street before the treasonous scumbags appeared at the crime scene. There must have been three or four different tripods with mounted cameras out in full view, where we assemble each week. And these nimrods still felt like lying to a law enforcement officer was a good idea.
I'd also like to thank Bill for linking to this offensive photo. I want everyone reading to know just how much this group of maggots has changed its tactics.
This horrific sign no longer comes out each Friday. It's not a coincidence, either. It's because there's a group of dedicated patriots who give up a few hours of their time to face off against this filth and to openly show our support for our armed forces.
Please join us. Or bump this thread and forward the link to your friends and neighbors. We could use the support.
Thanks
bttt
As soon as I can get away, I'm heading to DC! If it is no longer necessary for y'all to be at Walter Reed by then, I guess we'll just have to have a party--LOL!
You're a long ways away, I know. Your support is appreciated, and you're doing fine work down south!
Great post, keep up the good work.
A "Wish I could be with you" bump.
Go get 'em, Coop.
