Code Pink Hags Caught Stealing Burma Shave Signs at Walter Reed (7/21/06)
July 21, 2006 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/21/2006 9:06:08 PM PDT by kristinn

Once again, the peace activist, free speech advocating hags from Code Pink stole some of the D.C. Chapter's signs outside Walter Reed.

Last week, we debuted Burma Shave style signs in an effort to inform the public that they should not be fooled into thinking the Code Pink demonstrators at Walter Reed love this country. The signs worked as drivers of cars who honked for our patriotic demonstration at the main gate were markedly less inclined to be fooled by the two American flags displayed by the Pinkos and also honk for them.

The Burma Shave signs were having the same effect tonight, much to the frustration of the Pinkos. Around 8:25 p.m., after the signs had been displayed for about an hour, we saw one of the Pinkos stealing the signs off the roofs of our cars. He tried to throw them over the Walter Reed fence and took off running after he realized he'd been found out. He had stolen three of the four signs, two of which he managed to toss over the fence while the third landed right in front of the fence.

A brief scrum took place as both sides rushed to confront each other. Cooler heads quickly prevailed and tempers defused.

The thief explained his actions by saying our signs are "offensive, they're namecalling, they're disrespectful to our women, alright. And we will not have our women disrespected." (This from a man who stands outside a military hospital with people who routinely call our wounded soldiers killers, murderers and war criminals.)

We informed the Pinkos that our use of the word "hags" was not gender specific. We meant it for their "men" also.

Several officers from Walter Reed security went down and warned the Pinkos not to steal our signs again and to not throw things over the fence on to Walter Reed property.

can tell by their pink hats,
and their venomous report,
They're just a bunch of old moon bats,
our troops they don't support!

They call themselves Code Pink,
and say they're against the war,

That's who they're fightin for....

Of course they shouldn't be stealing your signs, but can't you come up with clever signs that don't use personal attacks?

These people have stood outside Walter Reed for more than a year, holding a variety of signs... Signs that call our soldiers murderers, signs that call our leaders murderers, liars.

They have spoken to several Walter Reed soldiers and called them murderers.

They have also told those soldiers that their fellow soldiers are rapists, that they have committed war crimes...

You have bought into the whiny, touchy, feely, liberal complaint that calling a heap of horse dung a heap of horse dung is somehow mean-spirited. Well, calling them pinko hags is the gentlest thing we can call them.

Rather than re-hash Code Pink's red, red roots here on this thread; I would kindly suggest that you do a little internet investigating for yourself. They aren't a group of soccer moms who sit around singing Kumbaya. They hate our country, our form of government, our leaders, our soldiers.

Our goal is to let the public know who and what these people are, and in as direct and unvarnished a way as we can. People driving by the past two weeks have caught on very quickly to what Code Pink is up to.

BTW, we had a sign that had no name calling at all on it, attached to the fence at Walter Reed ("No Protest Zone. Soldiers Healing.") The Pinko hags cut that sign down and locked it in their car within minutes of their arrival one evening.

They do not care what the signs we have say. They simply do not believe that we have any right to oppose them.

As long as they continue to call our soldiers murderers, rapists, war criminals, etc., I'll keep calling Code Pinkos what they are.

Thanks for asking.

Thanks for explaining so well to soccermom why the name is appropriate in the Walter Reed situation.

Look to your right,
to see Code Pink,
but roll up your windows,
because they sure do stink.

They're on the right,
but they are THE LEFT,
They know we're right,
but they still haven't left!

You'll go a mile,
and want to turn around,
to see Freepers smile,
and Code Pink frown.

A big pat on the back, a cheer and a tip of the hat to all that you and the DC chapter do - with a little help from out-of-towners.

Hope to be up there with you some Friday evening in September. I could get there early but would have to bug out by 8:00ish.

"Sounds like a very accurate description of Allison, Mari (aka Toby) Blome, Gael Murphy, Medea Benjamin, Nancy Mancias, Large Marge, Candace Wolfe (the professional storyteller), Bruce Wolf, Weasel, Perry (sign thief and quiet-zone guitar-player), the "man of the cloth" faster from Nevada who kept "checking his package" tonight, Kevin McCarron (previous sign thief), and ballerina man."

Don't forget about Code Pink's honorable media members, Helen Thomas and Babwa Stweisand.

usmcobra, you are a fabulous Burma Shave poet and the one at post 104 is absolutely the truest thing I've seen written about Code Pink.

You'll never see them laugh,
this code pink can never do,
They'd sooner take a bath,
then support a troop or two.
