Lots of pixels; give this thread time to fully load.
WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006-- While many in the Capital and across the U.S. planned respectful visits to veteran's cemeteries on Memorial Day weekend, or to solemn observances to honor those who gave their lives for our nation, Code Pink showed up at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Friday evening for more of their usual singin', dancin', sneerin' and general disrespect under the "banner" of war protests.
Sporting a Mary Poppins umbrella, this confused Code Pinko gives the anachronistic V-sign (which means Victory, as in "Victory in Iraq").
Shapewear-deprived American Pinko hopelessly stuck in the 60s, when
the V-for-victory sign briefly meant "peace, love, sex, dope, rock 'n' roll
and mud wrestling."
"JOIN US", her sign says hopefully. Let's face it -- have we any choice? -- her inviting curves are nicely set off by her lumberjack shirt and manly cargo pants...
...and her manly legs.
But what's that in her pits?
Even other Pinkos are alarmed.
Audibly mouthing, "WTF? OMG!!" Squeegee Guy rushes to the rescue, sporting -- what? A fully-loaded soap dish? A Halliburton Expandable Overbreastage Containment System? We give up. (Caption this picture.)
Perhaps Squeegee is actually aiming for the next Pinko in line, generously rushing to share his root touch-up kit with her. Next, he will make Pinko Bruce's white beard look as brown as ... well, as brown as Chuck Norris's.
Below, this looks like the usual Code Pink Women for Peace protest line at Walter Reed, consisting primarily of males and male facsimile units, doesn't it?
But look closer: This week it contains several fashionistas, such as failed 60s folk musician Perry, in the jaunty cap and old hippie mustache, but sporting stylish, up-to-the-minute flat-front shorts (right). Left (and we do mean left), is Princess Boy, modeling a grey and green Camo Kilt over freshly Naired gams.
Meanwhile Bruce Wolf (center), alias Blue Ponytail Guy, apparently was born without the creative gene. He completely failed his elective calligraphy class. All those who also failed, please raise your hand. All those who failed twice, please indicate both failures...
And here is Ballet Third Position Man, in the womanly pink cap and fashion-retro black socks with white shoes - before Memorial Day.
Can we stand this much fabulousness in one place?
Actually, no. Eighteen weeks ago, we chased this entire demonstration of Marxist malcontents away from the main gates of Walter Reed. Now we, the DC Chapter of Free Republic, hold down all four corners surrounding the security gates of this renowned medical facility for our Army wounded. Families and ambulatory patients from all over the nation come and go from these gates, especially on Friday evenings.
The main gate of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC); security officers check every person and vehicle entering the base. FReeper [Mr.] Trooprally (red cap) talks with two Walter Reed personnel. The main hospital building is the large concrete structure (left rear). Patients can see Code Pink from their windows; more importantly, they can see us and our large banners that honor their service.
Code Pink's obscenities had to go. They claim they "support the troops", but they brought a pseudo-intellectual former employee of Saddam Hussein on a speaking tour around the DC area, whose spurious anti-U.S. and anti-military claims were witnessed and documented by FReepers from the DC Chapter.
And so, we outmanned, outwomanned and outfoxed them, grabbed the permits they let lapse for the two corners nearest the gates, and now we rally every Friday night in honor of the troops on all four corners. This week marked our 57th week in a row facing off against Code Pink, who are now relegated down the street to a non-entrance cubbyhole in the four-blocks-long fence of the Walter Reed Army base.

FReepers Kristinn and Tom the Redhunter man the northwest corner, where the DC Chapter's blue miniMOAB can be found most Fridays.
Code Pink has been shamed, defamed, its bragging rights contained. Ever since we threw them off "their" corners, they have not updated their web site agitprop about their Friday night Walter Reed "vigil." It's too embarrassing.
Sporting a fashionable peasant skirt decades too young for her, 50ish Pinko enthusiast Mari Blome entered the gates on foot Friday evening, desiring to play her medieval hammer dulcimer for the troops. Security officers, failing to appreciate the high-minded troubadour gracing their midst, turned her away. She returned, crestfallen, to tinkle wistful airs for the six lanes of cars, SUVs and cargo trucks roaring up and down Georgia Avenue, a main supply route in and out of DC. (Most of them beeping for us.)
Compare and contrast:
Gorgeous FReeper babe:
Outstanding FReeper signage skillz:
Our main MOAB on the northeast corner of Georgia and Elder Streets greets those who come and go from the gate, and those who look out from the hospital windows.
Here's the honor roll of 17 FReeper, lurker and guest attendees who made Walter Reed a part of their Memorial Day holiday this past Friday: [Mr.] Trooprally, [Mrs.] Trooprally, Tom the Redhunter, tgslTakoma, Taxman and Mrs Taxman, SonofTGSL, Sisku Hanne, Kristinn, Justanobody, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Jerry from WRAMC, Fraxinus, Daniel from WRAMC, DaughterofTGSL, lurker Bill from Maryland, and Albion Wilde.

Code Pink packs up their whiny signs promptly at nine; the DC Chapter of FRee Republic keeps its troop-honoring banners out in the street until the busload of soldiers returns from their weekly night on the town.
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

You aught to make big photos of this gal and one of her legs and give it to the troops in the hospital - it would give them a good laugh and every time they see "the unwashed" on the street - they can chuckle and think to themselves "If these are the people who are against what we're doing = we must be doing right!"
The Great Unwashed
I look at that photo of the code pinko and think to my self :Gravity wins every time!"
Children? Do they name abortions these days?
Many thanks, Humidston! Love your home page!
Here's the thread and raucous video of Mari "Blowme" goin' down!
Er, gettin' busted!
Er...
We'll be back!
For those of you who have not attended a WRAMC FReep, let me urge you to do so. It is quite an experience, and well worth your time and effort!
Albion...thanks so much for the great report.
Wish I were there! Soon maybe.
PING-PING
And now to try to sleep again!
3D-JOY -- keep up the great work! I was so glad to see your picture at Arlington Cemetery against the Fred Phelps maniacs! You are amazing! God bless you!!
What the hell is that? Is she giving birth to Dom DeLuise?
Obligatory abortion comment?
I don't think so. She eats watermellons whole. That's how she turned pink.
You should start all future descriptions of Code Pink with "The crowd turned ugly just by showing up."
I'm pinging you to the latest Walter Reed thread because
1) you responded to an earlier Walter Reed thread
2) you came out and FReeped with us at Walter Reed, some of you traveling great distances to do so
3) you're a FRiend of mine
4) or I've read your comments on threads and dig your 'tude.
Enjoy the thread, and ping your FRiends. If you've already been pinged by someone else, please accept my apologies.
Freepmail me if you want on or off this Walter Reed ping list, which is for people not already on the DC Chapter ping list.
Like, totally. To quote Forrest Gump, "Mama always said, 'Beauty is as beauty does.' "
BWAHHAHAHAHA!
WOW!!!! That is really sad.
Thank you so much for the ping..I have been catching up on all the great pictures..God Bless All of you who support our troops like this!
PS..Code Pink needs serious fashion help..LOL
The DC Chapter is the greatest.
Isn't it amazing the difference in how the Code Pink scum look compared to the FReepers? Those Code Pink people always look...strange.
I participated in a FReep of an A.N.S.W.E.R. rally inHouston in '03 about a month before the war started. There were about 4,000 of 'em and every single one of them had that weird, Communist, unwashed hippie look.
(And we really ruined their little love-fest that day just by being there with our American flags and signs supporting the troops.)
