Code Pink Leader Has Tantrum at Walter Reed - 01/27/06

January 27, 2006

Photography's been my hobby since I was 12 years old. I inherited that from my dad. I have photos of him taking a photo of me taking a photo of him.

My kids bring books with them when we go anywhere, because they know Mom stops all the time and takes photos of the darnedest things.

Now, if I was lobbing water balloons across the street and yelling, "Neener, neener, neener!" ... I'd allow you to say I was acting like a four year old.

You are entitled to your own opinion.

I have one ping list that covers all topics.

I'll remove you from my overall ping list.

[Ptarmigan]

Great, more drama from them. Did they learn this from the Paris Hiilton School of Attention Whores?

[tgslTakoma]

Get a grip. I went down the street, by myself, so as not to give the PinkOs a reason to start a ruckus.

One question for you: Do you ever wonder how many IEDs can be bought and built (in Iraq) with $650,000 (US)?

Probably not a puny or insignificant amount. I have met guys at WRAMC who were recipients of Code Pink's "insignificant" contribution to the Iraqi insurgency.

[tgslTakoma]

You'll really enjoy our four-cornered Freep much better than the two-cornered one you were at last year. Our message is very clear to the cars going by, and they respond very favorably.

Last night several carloads of WRAMC folk stopped to talk with us and they were absolutely thrilled to see and hear up-close the response from cars passing by. It's got to do their hears good to know that so many people agree with our pro-troops signs.

See you next week!

[tgslTakoma]

Can you bring some warm weather with you?

Please?

[TPartyType]

Can't say that I heard about Code Pink donating $650,000 to the Iraqi insurgency. Got a link to a story I can read?

[tgslTakoma]

No need to feel bad. I went down there to take a few photos and I figured I'd be less of a burr under their saddles if I went alone. It's not like there was a lot to take photos of. I think they only had 10 people there last night. I would have been done and gone in two minutes, had Allison just pretended I was a nobody Washington Post photog. and let me do my thing.

[tgslTakoma]

I miss you, too, rr. I keep trying to do like you, and melt into the scenery as I take photos; but it doesn't work for me, for some reason.

You will let us know when you're back in the area for any visits, right?

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks for the kind words, but I didn't go down there and take photos from across the street thinking that it was going to be dangerous or confrontational; and it shouldn't be. There were six lanes of traffic between us. I guess I need to get that new Halliburton satellite cam that can count nose hairs...

[tgslTakoma]

From New Orleans.

[tgslTakoma]

Heard anything about any festivities in Fayetteville this March???

[beandog]

I, for one, am getting sick and tired of people like you who have the nerve to sit behind their computers and criticize people who are actually doing something. We are there to support the troops, who have by the way come out just about every Friday night and thanked us for being there. Just this Friday night several gentlemen stopped there cars and got out and shook our hands and thanked us for supporting them. Last week, a young man and his wife stopped on their way to stay at a hotel for the weekend. The young man couldn't speak well because he'd had throat surgery after being in Iraq. His wife spoke for him. She told us he wanted to thank us for coming out and supporting him. He had tears running down his face. We have young men, come out in their wheelchairs to stand by us.

Now maybe it doesn't matter to you if all these young men were to see would be the Pinkos protesting them, just like when our young men and women came back from Vietnam. To me, whose son served in Iraq, it matters.

Aggravating the Pinkos is just an added bonus.

It's know skin off my nose if you don't want to read our "silly" threads. Leave the real work to the adults.

[Majie Purple]

Please remove me too from the overall pings You are in charge of. I can now find my way around well enough to read and comment on things of my choosing. And the automatic pings bring in a few items I don't wish to be part of my list of reads. Code Pink mostly is one I don't want to keep track of. Thank you.

Have you read Medea's account of the Chavez speech down there? I have it linked on our blog. Quite the account of Socialist dignitaries up there with Sheehan on stage.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

That is Cute. :]

[Apple Blossom]

Next time take reinforcements with you! I don't have to carry a sign, and you shouldn't have that much fun all alone! Please share.

[tgslTakoma]

Sure. Try this link. At the end, you can see links to the Agence France Press story and the Turkish Press report as well. They just handed over the money and supplies at the border, and not to US troops either. Their money went to buy bombs to kill and injure Americans and coalition forces.

And Jodie Evans (also of Code Pink) blogged from the leftist World Tribunal on Iraq last summer, where the gathered leftists voted to endorse the resistance in Iraq. You can read more on that here, with a link to the mentioned blog page.

They crossed the line when they gave aid to the enemy. IMO

[TBP]

If all they have done is move down the street, maybe we need to FReep that area.
