The Band of Mothers/Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee Defend Amb John Bolton from Code Pink!
July 26,2011 | seekthetruth

Posted on 07/26/2011 3:05:15 PM PDT by seekthetruth

The Band of Mothers along with Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee, members of the Gathering of Eagles and FreeRepublic

Early in the afternoon of Tuesday July 26th, Suzi "Medea" Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group Code pink, stopped by to talk to the patriots on the corner of the Canon House building in Washington DC to spout her usual anti-American and anti-military propaganda. After about 10 mins of back and forth with Beverly Perlson, founder of The Band of Mothers, she left seeming disturbed by the Patriots presense on Capitol hill.

After Suzi left, Ambassador John Bolton, former US ambassador to the UN under President George W. Bush, stopped by on his way out of meeting and thanked us for our support.

It was at that point that Suzi returned to the corner, with three more friends of hers with anti-war signs and began to show their true anti-American colors by shouting at Amb Bolton calling him a war criminal and demanding that he be arrested. Upon witnessing this harrassment, the patriotic citizens supporting the troops surrounded Amb Bolton to shield him from Code Pink. Many shouts went back and forth between the groups before one of the Code Pink members came too close to Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee and pushed her. At that point, the capitol police stepped in and pushed code pink away from Amb Bolton and the patriots. Code Pink was ordered to leave the area as they had no permit to protest at that location. As they left the area, they continued to shout and spew their hatred and ignorant propaganda to all of those in the area.

Amb Bolton seemed amused by the pathetic antics and tactics of Code Pink and thanked the patriots on the corner for their support and protection before stepping into his car.

It really was a wonderful day! We are bound to have another great day tomorrow (actually later today) in support of our Military.

Sorry to have missed it.

Nothing like a little “girl-on-girl”.

Awesome! Love it!

I watched the story of the Somali pirates hijacked a U.S.-flagged cargo ship, Maersk Alabama, (with 20 American crew members onboard) on the history channel last night.

I wanted to explode with pride at the skill and actions of our military and the crew of the Maersk Alabama. God they were AWESOME! Those pirates got more than they bargained for.

Keep up the good work!

"...shouting at Amb Bolton calling him a war criminal and demanding that he be arrested."

Let me get this straight in my simple little mind: Code Pinkos think Bolton should be arrested for having no authority to wage war, but speaking his mind. However, they give Obambi a free pass for increasing the Troops in the Afgan surge (which I agreed) and now supporting a new bombing campaign in Libya's civil war (which I don't agree)? Am I missing something? Don't bother, I know.

Code Pinko is as hypocritical as the so-called feminists at NOW are for their blind eye to Muslim mysogyny. I'm always amazed at the convoluted parsing/spinning these hypocrites come up with to justify their distorted view on the world. Picture those hags playing the game Twister, and you might have some idea.

On second thought, don't picture them at all if you want to keep your breakfast down. Sorry for that visual.

Curious: Are you the old Free Republic activist that used to have the handle, "seeking the truth"? I remember he was from Florida. He and I, coincidentally, at the same became the first FR real world activists, although on different coasts for different causes. That was back in 1998.

If you're him, good to see you. If not, good to see you, also.

It's always OK to assault a conservative. Problem is too mony cell phone.

For future reference, when confronted by an obstreperous group that is smaller in numbers; employ the traditional union tactic. form a walking circle around them; keep it moving. You never know who might fall down. Teamsters used this against a well known Freeper in Philadelphia that started the March for Justice. Not advocating violence.

No we are blessed to have a new truth seeker and wow is she active! Check out her history on the Florida site and constant great support for our candidates.

The first was “seeking” and did move away from Florida. He stays in touch with many freepers.

Thanks, and so glad you asked! When I signed on to FR as “SeekTheTruth” in 2002, I began receiving messages from other Florida Freepers welcoming me back to Florida. I soon learned that “Seeking The Truth” was one of the original Florida Freepers who had moved to Navada. Rather a funny coincidence that his name is Gene and mine is Jean. :)

When I learned about Gene from his Florida Freeper friends I also learned about the great patriotic and political items he sells at his web site, including lots of “Freeper Stuff”. Due to hard times upon us now, Gene is closing his business in just five days. I hope Freepers who read this will visit his web site at,
http://www.0cents.com./ and take advantage of the great deals he is offering on the rest of his items in stock.

We are friends, and James and I hope to get to meet Gene in person some day. We sure enjoy wearing our Freeper shirts, hats, and all the other items we have ordered from Gene.

I am sure Gene will love to hear from you, Navy Vet!

The Code Pinkos always have to show their very best behavior so they can draw attention from law enforcement! And of course they received removal by the Capitol Police per usual.

Can't wait to see you again too and can certainly give you some great reasons to come down to Florida! We sure enjoyed being with Beverly, Debbie, Chad and all our DC area Freeper friends and sorry you couldn't join us.

We learned a great deal at the Military Voting Rights Conference at the Heritage Foundation, and also the briefing hosted by Congressman Allen West on the Muslim Brotherhood presented by Citizens For National Security.
I hope folks realize that Military/National Security issues are most important. While everyone is thinking about the economy they need to realize that without a secure Nation we will not have an economy!

James and I were also honored to stand with DC area Freepers and other patriots at Walter Reed last Friday in support of our wounded heroes and their families. We look forward to being there again this Friday with TroopRally, Mrs.TroopRally and all the other DC area Freepers making this the 329th consecutive Friday they have stood in support of our Walter Reed heroes. They were there every Friday evening through rain,sleet,snow,and the heat of summer! God Bless them and God Bless our Military!

Beverly of The Band of Mothers, is a wonderful person and a shining example of humanity.

Yes she is, and James and I are blessed to have her as a friend! Beverly continues to work tirelessly in support of our Military and doesn't let a single Military issue slip by unnoticed. James and I are determined to help her in any way we can.

Thank you 3DJoy, and it sure was great to see you again here in DC! We Florida Freepers get around when we need to, and this heat wave didn't stop us when we know our heroes are going through much worse!

See you Friday!

Yes, the Code Pinkos did finally post a video clip but they made sure the guy pushing Debbie Lee was cut, and also the Capitol police actions to remove them from the corner.

I was going to post the link to the video, but folks can look it up. I just don't want to give the Pinkos the attention they want. I certainly don't want to please them by helping to spread around their hatred for our troops and our country. Those who want to see their nasty "cleaned up" video clip can see it under code pink.

The patriots involved did not film the nasty Code Pinkos because we were busy taking action in support of Ambassador Bolton and holding signs in support of our Military.

Good for you & the Gold Star Mothers defending Amb. Bolton from the Wacko Pinkos.

They are such hypocrites...Haven't heard an anti-war peep out of them since BO began the Afghan surge and started bombing Libya.

Thanks for all you & James do for our military & wounded warriors.
