Anti-war Protesters Fail to Materialize at Walter Reed
3/16/2007 | PleaDeal

Posted on 03/15/2007 9:58:27 PM PDT by PleaDeal

Moonbats Get Stuck in Mud, Fail to Show for Protest!

At least that's one excuse. We don't really know what happened, but the anarchists and spoiled brats from the Encampment to Stop the War steered clear of Walter Reed today.

Alcove Wall

We declared Victory! around 5pm and packed up our flags and signs... then it started to rain ... and the "Encampment" inhabitants most certainly were not happy campers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Actually, these cheapskates were trying to get in out of the rain by getting arrested rather than pay for a hotel room. *sigh*

Cindy-True-Supporter and Mike Sparling made several reconnaissance missions around the base to see if the kommie kooks were protesting on the 16th Street entrance. Nobody there. (If anyone saw a moonbat, please expand on the experience in the comments.)

Here's some pics of out-of-town FReepers who arrived early enough to join in the fun today.

Necawas
Necawa and Lurker Elizabeth* down from Jersey. They planned to spend the whole weekend here for the festivities on the Mall, but when they heard about today's FReep, they came flying down (in their car!).

leolf
leolf and Dad up from Texas being greeted by tgslTakoma.

Thanks to the quick-thinking and tireless FReeping of tgslTakoma, we had the permit for the usual Pinko area and kept it occupied all afternoon.

There are a few more pics here.

The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): BillF, BufordP, Cindy-True-Supporter, eeevil conservative, Danang68, George & Ethel*, GunsAreOK, iMacMan, iraqikurd, leolf and Dad* up from Texas, Necawa and Mrs. Necawa down from Jersey*, PleaDeal, Sensei Ern, Taco Mamma, tgslTakoma, Trooprally [Mr. & Mrs.], WO4Man.

We'll be back at Walter Reed tomorrow night, March 16th, from 6:00 (new time!) until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.

If you are in town for the Gathering of Eagles on Saturday, why not start your counter-protesting with us!

Great to see this, thank you for posting it.

The "we support the troops, not their mission" BS is really grating.

Ten or eleven of them got arrested at the Rayburn Building this morning - so there was nobody left at the "Encampment" to come to WRAMC.

I wonder if the high winds this afternoon also blew away their tent city?

A girl can dream, can't she?

Ping for the first of the "antiwar" counter-protest reports for this weekend's scheduled lefty marches and peace riots...

LMAO... they got arrested this morning, so there was nobody left to "caravan" to WRAMC and protest the war there.

What's the big deal? Gael and her girlfriend do this sort of thing all the time.

Hopefully the weather will keep the Jihadists under cover.
It was sunny and 82 degrees here yesterday. I felt great!
This morning it is raining and 44 degrees. It definitely kicked my arthritis. I’ve been up for over an hour and still can’t stand up straight. Tomorrow’s weather isn’t expected to be any better. I beginning to wonder if I can make a three hour drive and a fairly long walk to The Wall.

Down at the Pinkos Friday night area there was at least one car load of leftist that slowed and drove by looking at us. The stopped a little down the street and then drove on.

Another car parked with one person in it, got out a cell phone and talked for about 5 minutes. He soon left.

That's all the action from down at CP's area.

But it was windy as the cold front and rain moved in. Flags were constantly unfurled and signs had to be held with two hands which made it had to wave to the passing cars. The MOAB could not be put up due to the wind but several smaller banners were put up.

And Thanks Plea Deal for the prompt report.

Bummer- I guess Scotty didn't get that transporter fixed after all. This calls for a drink.
