D.C. Chapter Livens Up Cindy Sheehan's Die-in at the White House 10/26/05

Members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic livened up Cindy Sheehan's die-in at the White House tonight.

We started arriving at 6 p.m. on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House. I arrived at 6:45, so others will have to fill in the early part. We had about a dozen or more scattered about in small groups engaging the anti-American leftists gathered to play extras in Cindy Sheehan's Traveling Freak Show of Treason and Tragedy.

Cindy's latest publicity gambit is to stage die-ins in front of the White House to 'observe' the 2000th death of American soldiers in Iraq. She and her handlers are holding daily vigils this week in front of the White House punctuated by photo-op visits to Arlington national Cemetery, the Iraqi Embassy and Walter Reed on successive days.

This evening, we gave the leftists and their fellow travelers what for and an education. I spent considerable time addressing the leftists gathered on the sidewalk in front of the White House, informing them that they were standing with groups that support the terrorists killing Americans and Iraqis.

I asked them to raise their hands if they agreed with Cindy Sheehan that foreigners going to Iraq to join Al Qaeda were "freedom fighters." Surprisingly, no one raised their hands

Later, I asked them if any of them knew how many of the 2000 soldiers whose lives they were 'mourning' had been killed in action in Iraq. It took a long couple minutes of my asking the question several times before only two of the several hundred protesters came up with the answer (about 1560.)

I then asked, being that they say they care about the troops, how many were missing in action in Iraq. No one knew (one-Matt Maupin.)

I informed them that they are parroting the number 2000 without knowing anything about it.

Some of the exchanges with the leftists were quite heated. A couple that had a son killed in Iraq who came to stand with us took a lot of heat from the leftists. One was quite cruel--he told the woman to her face she would never be a grandmother because of her support for the war.

Our Iraqi friend, Nofel, got to speak with Cindy Sheehan early for a few minutes until her handlers dragged her away. He told her that her son lives on in the freedom of the Iraqi and American people. He also told her that her son helped give back to every Iraqi mother their children. That was too much for Cindy's minders.

IraqiKurd spent time talking with leftists trying to get them to understand how Iraqis truly feel about being liberated by American and the coalition. Nofel did so also, but it was a frustrating night dealing with the moonbats.

Mr. and Mrs. Trooprally saved the day by bringing signs and small American flags for us to hold. Jimmy Valentine's brother, LandryFan, Spiff and Dustin10thMountain all did their part tonight.

We left around 8:45. The die-in and the coreographed arrests were going on and on. The news reports only 22 leftists had the guts to be arrested. The rest who started out in the die-in chickened out and left to join their fellow leftists in the audience.

We kept reminding those pretending to be dead of what it was like to be killed by terrorists by describing various terror attacks from 9/11 to Beslan and what they would be going through as they died. We also reminded them of the manner of death for Iraqi opponents of Saddam's regime.

The die-in was total show biz. But with the media's help it'll be broadcast around the world to accomplish Cindy and her handler's goal: more real deaths of Americans and Iraqis at the hands of terrorists so that we turn tail and leave Iraq to the their terrorist allies.

Great job kristinn!
Just so you can slap the COMMIE MOMMIE with the facts again... ask her if she even know the name of the fallen Soldier.

RIP Staff Sgt. George T. Alexander

Killeen soldier raises Iraq toll

By Debbie Stevenson and Jimmie Ferguson

Killeen Daily Herald

The death of a Killeen resident serving in the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq raised the military’s death toll to 2,000 this weekend.

Staff Sgt. George T. Alexander died Saturday at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio from injuries sustained in a roadside bomb attack Oct. 17 in Samarra, a Pentagon news release stated Tues-day.

Alexander’s wife, Fina Alexander, said she learned by telephone for an Army official that she should be proud of Alexander’s heroic act before his death.

“The officer said Alexander had attempted to remove all his soldiers from the burning vehicle and secured the site of the attack — saving a number of his soldiers’ lives in exchange of his own,” Fina Alexander said.

Alexander was in a Bradley fighting vehicle when the bomb detonated. He was assigned to the 3rd Infantry’s 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade at Fort Benning, Ga.

Alexander, 34, was a husband and loving father of boy, 8; and a girl, 6, said his wife in Killeen.

He served in Desert Storm, and this was his third tour to Iraq, his wife said.

Officials at Fort Hood said Alexander was born in Virginia and was last stationed at Fort Hood in 1996.

Fort Hood, which has had a continued presence in Kuwait and Iraq since January 2003, has lost 151 soldiers. Of those, 90 were from the 1st Cavalry Division’s 17,000-plus troops who spent a year to 14 months in Baghdad, beginning mostly in March 2004.

The 4th Infantry Division, which is in the midst of returning to Iraq by December, returned to Fort Hood in April 2004 after losing 81 from its Task Force Ironhorse ranks during its year spent patrolling three dangerous provinces to Baghdad’s north that have been dubbed the “Sunni Triangle.”

Earlier Tuesday, the chief spokesman for the American-led multinational force called on reporters covering the conflict not to look at the 2,000th death since March 2003 as a milestone.

U.S. Army Lt. Col. Steve Boylan, director of the force’s combined press center, told the Associated Press that the number is an “artificial mark on the wall.”

“I ask that when you report on the events, take a moment to think about the effects on the families and those serving in Iraq,” Boylan said in an e-mail. “The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives.

“The 2,000th soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine that is killed in action is just as important as the first that died and will be just as important as the last to die in this war against terrorism and to ensure freedom for a people who have not known freedom in over two generations,” Boylan wrote.

He complained to the AP that the true milestones of the war were “rarely covered or discussed,” and said they included the troops who had volunteered to serve, the families of those that have been deployed for a year or more, and the Iraqis who have sought at great risk to restore normalcy to their country.

Boylan said they included Iraqis who sought to join the security forces and had became daily targets for insurgent attacks at recruiting centers, those who turned out to vote in the constitutional referendum, and those who chose to risk their lives by joining the government.

“Celebrate the daily milestones, the accomplishments they have secured and look to the future of a free and democratic Iraq and to the day that all of our troops return home to the heroes’ welcome they deserve,” Boylan wrote.

spif from Arizona was still in town and had fun. We met a nice young lady from Arkansas who claimed she was in town for a candle convention. I also had a chance to meet a very articulate young man from Greenbelt,MD. He has to be to only person in Greenbelt that proudly wears a Bush Cheney hat as Greenbelt, aka Tugwell Town, is a close second to Takoma Park in it's left leanings. Anyway, he got to be called a traitor to his race.

In honor of BufordP I did give pizza chants, cry out for sausage pizza, pepperoni pizza which was somehow lost on the left. Earlier I informed the leftys that the Iraq Constitution was certified as approved and that 20 privileged Cubans had jumped ship to seek asylum in the US. The beauty part of the die in was that the LEOs let them lay on the cool ground before they were ceremonial arrested.
