When I say "die-hard", I am not kidding. They are seriously convinced that urging the U.S. to lose the war and abandon the engagement over there would be a good thing.
We have a revolving bunch of perhaps 100 who FReep at Walter Reed over the course of a year, so that only a handful of our most dedicated leaders are there most weeks. The anti-Americans have a skeleton crew who must always be there in order to hang on to their permit, and when I say "skeleton" in relation to that lady, I'm not kidding, either.
Now that we have beaten their brains to make them stop the totally obscene signage, their meaningless wishes for an abstract kind of "Peace" defined as "Bring the Troops Home NOW" inspire nothing but pity.
I think we may be almost ready to claim another victory over them -- Code Pink seems to have abandoned their "vigil". We rarely see the Pinko gals any more. The anti-Americans are now mostly men from a variety of socialist and rage-equals-coolness groups.
When they were closer and we could "interact", the Pinkos had a lot of turnover because we'd mention their dirty communist laundry such as $650,000 to terrorists, their endorsing the killing of US troops by backing the World Tribunal on Iraq's 'findings", Gael Murphy's participation in the Beirut Communique where Hezbollah was on the "Welcome Committee" and other "Hate America" examples. Their treason is too much for even some of the far left folks that are enticed by their lies and showed up. Once they heard and researched what Code Pink is really about, they didn't come back.
The AFL-CIO has sent Political Commissar Bruce Wolf from OPEIU Local 2 to keep the remaining apparatchiks in line. Bruce will immediate jump on anyone who dare speaks with a wounded soldier from Walter Reed. You're not allowed to do that if Bruce is there.
