John Edwards spokesman, Iraq war veteran John Bruhns, has been defending the Edwards presidential campaign from criticism over Edwards' call for people to protest the Iraq war at Memorial Day parades.
Appearing via telephone on the Fox News Channel's 'Big Story with John Gibson', Bruhns said that the Edwards campaign is backing away from the call to publicly protest the war at parades and is instead asking supporters to send care packages and to reflect on the war.
While Bruhns said that he himself did not support Edwards' call to protest at Memorial Day parades, he failed to mention that he has protested the war at a similarly hallowed setting: Walter Reed Army Medical Center where grieviously wounded Iraq and Afghan vets struggle to recover from their war wounds.
Bruhns spent several Friday nights outside the main gate to Walter Reed in 2005 with the terrorist supporting Marxist front group Code Pink after the group became notorious for taunting wounded soldiers with signs like "Maimed for a Lie" and "Enlist Here and Die for Halliburton."
Bruhns is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. IVAW called our soldiers in Iraq war criminals in testimony before the World Tribunal on Iraq in Istanbul, Turkey in 2005. The tribunal endorsed the terrorists in Iraq and their killing of American soldiers.
Bruhns is currently featured in a pro-surrender ad by Votevets.org that was directed by Oliver Stone.
Thanks. To the MSM, code Pink is a legitimate organization. Just like International ANSWER. The rot is very deep.
Evil people through and through.
Kristinn, you make us all proud. Keep this peoples' feet to the fire!!!
Thanks for informing us of this outrage.
Thank God (and Jim) we’ve got FR to get the truth out.
Thanks. Let’s hope we get another chance soon. We tell the media these things all the time, yet they never report on it.
If you have some good pictures and I can find some time, perhaps I could eviscerate the scumbag on YouTube.
ANSWER’s not considered legitimate by the MSM, but Code Pink is definitely being protected by sympathetic reporters and editors.
Have to dig through the archives. Late summer, early fall of the 2005 Walter Reed reports. He escorted Cindy Sheehan into Walter Reed one Friday night during that time frame.
The same night, John Bruhns, a former infantry soldier who fought in Iraq from 2003 to 2004, bristled at taunts leveled by war supporters.
"I'm very anti-Iraq war," he said. "I'm a proud American. I'm a patriot."
That was the night that Karl Rove (or someone who looked something like him) stood with the FReepers against the Code Pinko traitors, if I have the right Walter Reed FReep in 2005 that featured Sheehan on the opposing side. I recall some hilarity regarding the Code Pinko/Sheehan bus perpetrated by a troublemaker I know. The report is right here for FReep 28 of Code Pink at Walter Reed, Oct 28, 2005 if that's the one where Bruhns showed up with Sheehan.
I have seen countless stories over the last few years that mention ANSWER in the media, even quoting ther spokespeople. I have yet to see a (other than a couple of Fox hosts) tell the reader/viewer what the hell the organization really is.

The Edwards campaign is attracting every Left wing fruitcake for miles, and its a beautiful thing...
Good catch!!!
No one has published an unkind word about Code Pink in the MSM.
Thanks Kristinn for your tireless efforts.
LOL! That was an eventful night!
Thanks for filling me in, I must have missed those. But I will say they are the exception, not the rule. Keep up your good work, sir.
