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.

%%%%%


So they do understand that signs can be offensive to others! Could we use that argument when they use derogatory signs showing President Bush or members of his cabinet?

And to think that I thought the DC Chapter was going to be giving complimentary shaving kits as part of this campaign.

They have changed their signs. The have more American flags. The most readable sign is the one that says, "Join Us". Another sign is, "Save our Troops". They are becoming generic in their message to hide what they really are. This is why we put these signs up. They have spent so much time trying to blend into us and our message. Those four signs have changed the response to their group dramatically. I don't think it is only the use of the word Hag that pissed them off. I think it is the people not beeping and also flipping them off as they pass. We see this all the time at the Olney Freep.

I think the reaction of the driving public to the signs is fantastic. The reaction of the Pinko shows that they do NOT support free speech. The fact that they have tempered their message when on Georgia Avenue proves that they know what they had been showing passersby was offensive and wrong.

We just need to keep reminding them that they are wrong! in every way, And that they know it.

The signs in the Smithsonian read:

WITHIN THIS VALE
OF TOIL AND SIN
YOUR HEAD GROWS BALD
BUT NOT YOUR CHIN

BURMA-SHAVE

I don't think they expected us to react to their little game last night. The 40+ boy they sent to do their diry work was over 6'. He found himself surrounded by us. I think we let them know it won't be a fun game went they attack us. We stand by and do nothing.

In the case of their men, the first letter in that offensive word has to be changed.

And the DC Chapter photographers document the Pinkos most excellently when they demonstrate how well they respect the rights of others! The "peace" crowd are always the first to get physical with other people or their property.

They are attention hounds and when they don't get attention:

1. They burn a flag or build a fire in the street.

2. They destroy something.

3. They tear down a fence.

4. They jump a fence.

5. They attack someone.

6. They chant something stupid.

7. They throw things at police.

8. They use their worthless lawyers.

9. They cry in front of the drive-by-media.

10. They bring out a stupid movie star.

11. And when all else fails they strip off their clothes and show us why shaving is important.

"Our womenfolk"... who is this guy? And what century does he think this is?

Was he wearing shoes? A rope for a belt? Did he invite the hippy chick he was trying to impress to go for a swim in the cement pond?

When they do #11, I suggest you flash this sign from the Burma-Shave unused inventory, like

SAID JULIET
TO ROMEO
IF YOU WON'T SHAVE
GO HOMEO
BURMA-SHAVE
