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.
From that article:
"I cannot live freely in a country where people are allowed to commit murder and roam free to commit more mayhem while other people who are exercising their first amendment rights to free speech are locked up in jail."
How on earth do people make this $%&# up?
Kristinn--I hope I have the honor of shaking your hand someday! You are a great American!
This is what I saw earlier when I read that there and other places today.
Maybe you focus on other stuff. Cindy wants to be jailed.

At 7:30 PM, about 100 patriots symbolically died in front of the White House. Then 26 of us refused to get up and were arrested. As usual, the Park Police were very polite and efficient and many whisper words of support and encouragement to us. We are planning another die-in tonight at 7 PM. We need more Americans to come out and symbolically die with us here in DC...or do it in your own communities at relevant places, like a federal building, congressperson or senator's office.
When I was being processed out, the Lieutenant warned me if I got arrested again that I may have to stay in jail until January, since this was my second arrest and I already have one under my belt that hasn't been resolved (which I plan on going to court for anyway). The Lt. went to bat for me, he said, so the judge wouldn't keep me until my November court date this time.
I appreciate the warning of the Lt., but I plan on doing Civil Disobedience again this evening. I cannot live freely in a country where people are allowed to commit murder and roam free to commit more mayhem while other people who are exercising their first amendment rights to free speech are locked up in jail. I cannot live freely in a country where others are allowed to lie to retaliate against a person who had the temerity to challenge previous lies. I cannot live freely in a country where bereaved family members aren't allowed to carry pictures of their murdered loved ones into a national cemetery.
If I go before a magistrate tonight or tomorrow after my next arrest, I will tell him/her: If you believe in what you are doing, give me the stiffest sentence possible. If you don't, then resign.
Peace soon.
MUST see! (sorry, I forgot earlier)

kristinn,
YOU DID GOOD.
Cindy, when are you going to learn you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Poor Cindy. She always gets upstaged by some other dame. First Katrina, then Rita, and now Harriet.
She started crying, but hung tough and stayed until we were ready to leave.
This just breaks my heart. Cindy Sheehan should have walked up to the idiot who made that statement and slapped him. But I know; I know where Cindy's decency lies. These liberals are unbelievable.
I feel so sorry for that poor mother and her husband.
Kristinn,
as a soldier, who often visits Walter Reed Army Medical Center, I thank you for confronting those people. It is a real shame that America fosters self-haters and rewards them with celebrity status. I really wish President Bush would offer free flights to any other country that wants them. I'd gladly pitch in to fund that.
It takes guts to confront moonbats - you know that already don't think logically and are most likely violent. I am proud to serve fellow Americans like your group.
Sincerely,
John
We may be small in numbers John, but our voice is loud in supporting people like you and those at Walter Reed.
Appreciate the work and this report, kristin. You offered, "But with the media's help ..." And that is precisely the gist of it all, an orchestrated leftist whoredom press serving their liberal ideology. Thanks be to God there are folks like you DC chapter to toss a stone into their lickspittle soup.
I was thinking the same thing. I'd have helped you and we'd have kept each other company in the slammer. Reading that made me shake with anger. These people, there's no adjective in the English language ugly enough to describe them.
One day, they will reap what they sow, they will get theirs in due season.
Great report from an OUTSTANDING FReep! Kristinn and DC FReepers ROCK!!
Cindy didn't want to be arrested last night! She and her small number of goons got up off the ground at the last possible second and marched off chanting.
These 'dedicated activists' that are so proud of standing up to the 'Bush regime' need to learn: when you're dead, you don't move, you don't smile, you don't talk on your cell phone, you don't sit up.
Boring die in.
Cindy sucks.
Casey, brave hero, RIP.
ROFL!!! You guys are bad! I love it!
I just hope they arrest her one more time then give her sorry butt something to think about.
Please, everyone who can make it to Walter Reed tonight needs to do so. Come out to support the troops who faced IEDs, suicide bombers, bullets, harsh conditions, distance from home, etc to defend our freedom.
FYI
ABC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT KARL ROVE HAS BEEN TOLD HE WILL NOT BE INDICTED TODAY IN CIA LEAK CASE
Spiff can relax too!
