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.
On Friday, she'll hold a press conference at the National Press Club.
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.
She started crying, but hung tough and stayed until we were ready to leave.
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.
Iraqi voters have ratified a new constitution by a margin of nearly 4 to 1!
Trolls, Cindy Sheehan, terrorists, democrat moonbat's, suicide bombers, and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
Let The Good Times Roll!
Not part of the FReepers, but he was one of several lurkers that joined the overall group.
FYI regarding post #152
(snip)
We headed to the vigil at the White House for our hours long wait in the freezing cold. There was a man there who had several signs which among them said: "Saddam loves Cindy." This man didn't care that Rumsfeld (or Rumsfailed, as I accidentally called him on an interview yesterday) was buddy, buddy with Saddam and gave him or sold him tons of WMD's before he became our enemy. I told this man that he didn't bother me, and he told me I don't bother him either. Well, if I don't bother him, why did he come down and make signs and march for hours screaming that I kill our soldiers? We found out why. He was making $60 dollars an hour to do so from some non-profit, right wing group. He said he would switch signs if we gave him more money.(snip)

This seems to be the latest moonbat talking point as I heard this continually repeated yesterday.
Ping to #152 and #163 please.
The big issue here is Cindy Sheehan blatantly lying about the man holding the sign!
If that man is who I think it is.....he's the brother of a FReeper and was certainly NOT PAID to hold the sign!!!
ping to post 152 and post 163. Isn't this the guy you talked to?
Great job bump!
Can't thank you enough for all that you are doing. Just wish I lived closer to where all the action is. Living in southern Indiana, no vacation left and no time, well, I'm there in spirit with you!!!! Would have loved to join in.
Since Sindy is such a total moonbat, I wonder what she'd do if you guys kept taunting her to follow through on her oath to lash herself to the WH gates and stay there until GW speaks to her....again.
I think she's kooky enough to take the challenge, and that would be fun to watch!
They talk a big game about freedom of speech, but it's apparently only allowed if you're on their side. Shows how dangerous people like this are if they gain political and police power - they'll do far more than simply block your opposing posters if they do.
PERFECT!
Eagles Up! indeed Kristinn.
Thanks for everything you and the DC crew do.
Give 'em hell, kristinn!
>>>One was quite cruel--he told the woman to her face she would never be a grandmother because of her support for the war.

Bastard punk coward Commie--saying that to a woman whose son had made the supreme sacrifice.
I would have flattened him right then and there!
Thank you Kristinn and Washington FReepers for your caring, concern, patriotism, and restraint.
Question: What kind of fine is there for persons that get arrested? How much time do they have to spend in jail? If they do it again and again is there a stronger fine?
Bless you all for taking on the filth. And bless you Iraqikurd for your continued attempts to try to make your so important point.
Salutations to your Marine!
