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.
Apparently not. I'm having a fit of rage just reading about this. Why don't some of these cowards sign up and take out their anger on the enemies of our country? Jerks!
Great job, Kristinn, Spiff, Trooprally and all of you.
It means more to them in thier own sick way. They are playing to their own twisted world view as to what they believe about the American public.
They know the American public real does care about our troops. Their "act" is designed to use that love for the troops against the troops. So they recast their Communist slogans such as "Money for education, not war" to "Money for wounded, not war."
You hear a constant refrain from the troops about how skeptical they are about people who say that they support the troops, but not the war. What the soldiers are really detecting is that the Code PINKOs really do not support the troops.
Yes. I just got off the phone with the travel agent. I just changed my flight to Saturday morning. So, I CAN make it Friday night. I think I'll drive this time as I really didn't like my experience with the whole MetroBus thing.
But worms are a delicacy in Cuba Code PINK will tell their useful idiots.
Many, many thanks to all who made it out to the Park tonight. Great work.
Fantastic chapter!
Thanks for standing tall.
Wow, that's a powerful pic of Casey. Great work.
Good report/good job Kristinn. Thank you
Medea was there. I kept singling her out and giving her an earful.
Well done. Great Job!
Great job.You did this with kindness and understanding,something most libs can't comprehend.
Trying to? She IS disgracing her son's memory along with his honor, his service, and his ultimate sacrifice for his country. She is loathsome.</p>
Photo Shop not up to improving Cindy.
Thanks so much for having the courage to confront those who side with the terrorists. Your actions genuinely support our toops.
This Marine Dad salutes you!
