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.
Especially valuable is the teaching you all were able to do in the face of such ignorance. Thank you so much! Ditto all the previous compliments from posters.
DC CHAPTER ROCKS -- STILL! WOOHOO!
bump
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was a lesson too late learned by the right, but we'll never, NEVER, let the left's rants go unanswered like we did in the '60's.....look at the price we've paid for that mistake.
Thanks, and God bless you and the others in your fine attempts to give the leftist looneytoons the truth.
Good job, Kristinn!! This woman's self imposed 15 minutes has been up since about 3 months ago.
Wouldn't a good shot of RAID be more appropriate? :)

Hope this works this is the pic's from the Die In
Thank you for your service!
Boring die in.
Cindy sucks.
Casey, brave hero, RIP.
I am appalled but not surprised that the couple who lost their son was assaulted by Sheehan's crowd. That is disgusting, they were brave to stay and face the crowd.
When Cindy has no camera from the MSM, she is off to fax the ignorant about her next media show.
GOOD GRIEF, GET A CLUE!
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTED TO THE MSM.
SORRY!
YES-AROONIE !
I love the photoshop job on Cindy, but Idon't think it's right to do that to a serviceman who died in the line of duty.
That was not me talking.
You, sir, are simply amazing. Keep up the outstanding work.
bump!
Leave her there, with both hands cuffed to the fence. Let her rot. Decorate her with Christmas lights and hay, a la a scarecrow. Put a witch's hat on her. Sprinkle her with Krusteaz dough in a drizzle. Paint her with tinsel. Hang balloons from her.
Make her the poster child for walking mental illness. if not total self-obsession.
