Y’all might want to watch your local / national 10 and 11 pm news for tonight’s FReep in front of the White House. (Mod – please allow this to stay in “Breaking News” for an hour or so.) Kristinn just called as they were wrapping up. Here is his phoned-in report: There were about 300 of “them” and 18 of “us.” We started out in front of the Andrew Jackson statue facing H Street, but the Park Police sent us on our way because we did not have a permit. We moved to in front of the White House on...

For the eleventh week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  In the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve the desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest. The highlights tonight included one of the male eunuchs of the Pinkos being pulled back by Pinko women when he strayed to another corner. More...

Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France bicycle race, was quoted as decrying funding for Operation Iraqi Freedom, saying the money would be better spent on his “bicycles for peace” initiative. The quote has been posted on the website of Code Pink, an antiwar organization. “If the Iraqi insurgents had bicycles they wouldn’t be so hostile,” said Armstrong. “Cycling would give them a wholesome and healthy outlet for their energy. Look what it’s done for me!” The Armstrong posting is part of Code Pink’s “One Million Reasons,” an online petition drive asking people to state their reasons for...

SNIP "We've had slogans like, 'No Blood for Oil,' and 'Bring the Troops Home Now,' but this is a real flesh-and-blood story," said Jodie Evans, a co-founder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, which has led many of the anti-war movement's guerrilla tactics and organized meetings of Iraqi and American citizens. "What works is that it is focused. It is one person's loss versus another person who caused that loss. "Geez, she's a mom who's lost a child," said Evans, who teared up at Camp Casey this week as she recalled her own 2-year-old daughter dying 20 years ago. "Who...

E-mail Author Author Archive Send to a Friend Version August 11, 2005, 6:11 p.m. Without Internet, U.S. Would Be a "Fascist State" Crawford protester Cindy Sheehan talks with her blog supporters. Cindy Sheehan, the woman whose soldier son was killed in Iraq and who is now camping by a road in Crawford, Texas demanding a meeting with President Bush, on Wednesday thanked a group of antiwar bloggers for supporting her, saying that without the Internet, America would be a "fascist state."

Cindy Sheehan wants to meet President Bush. But, if you haven't heard about Sheehan's story yet, she wants him to tell him about the loss of her son, Spc. Casey Sheehan, in fighting in Iraq in April 2004. She also wants to make him aware of the suffering the war has brought. She's made a point of talking to him publicly so she has started a protest outside his Crawford, Texas, ranch. She says she won't leave until he's talked to her. So far, he hasn't. The president's national security adviser talked with her on Saturday, but she persisted that...

Anti-war activists are asking San Francisco radio station KMEL-FM to remove the U.S. Navy as a sponsor of the annual Summer Jam concert in Mountain View, saying the station is "using hip-hop to promote the military to young people of color." The high-profile event, set for Aug. 21, usually sells out the 20,000- capacity Shoreline Amphitheatre. San Francisco's Global Exchange, the group Code Pink: Women for Peace and two dozen other organizations are leading a protest at noon today in front of the San Francisco offices of Clear Channel, which owns KMEL and nine other Bay Area stations. In the...

I know you all agree with me that what Cindy Sheehan is doing in Crawford, Texas is heroic and important. I met Cindy a couple of months ago when she testified at the hearing I called on the Downing Street Minutes. Later that day, she helped me deliver your signatures to the White House demanding answers from the President about his pre-war deceptions. I want to share with you what struck me about that day, and is even more relevant now. I also want to ask you for your help. It is not that hard for an elected official to...

Sean Penn’s account of his recent trip to postwar Iraq – written in two articles published in the San Francisco Chronicle – reveals the deep changes that have taken place in liberated Iraq, and the shallow man who observed them. A more generous soul might have considered apologizing for the unkind words directed at President Bush and his counselors who are responsible for the freedoms that Penn now acknowledges are burgeoning in Iraq, yet Penn cannot bring himself to praise the Americans who brought this about, acknowledge his role in opposing Operation Iraqi Liberation, or, indeed, rise above the pettiest concerns...

WASHINGTON — Pentagon police on Wednesday turned away family members of troops killed in Iraq who wanted to confront Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on the reasons for the war in Iraq. The group of about 20 was stopped before entering Pentagon property by about a dozen officers, who told the protesters they did not have the proper permission to enter the building. Organizers said they have been petitioning for the meeting for weeks, but department officials are ignoring their requests. “The man who was too busy to personally sign the Killed in Action letters these families received is apparently...

A mother of a dead soldier sat camped in Crawford, Texas. She wants President Bush to define the “noble cause” that he said her son died for. The initial reasons we were given for invading Iraq was because it hadn’t complied with UN weapons inspections and we needed to find and destroy Iraq’s WMDs – those pesky, still-unfound chemical and biological weapons that would do us harm. (Interesting though that we didn’t much care about them when they were being used against the Iranian soldiers during the Iran-Iraq war or against the Kurds in northern Iraq.) As more and more...

I received the following e-mail from CODEPINK: --- Dear CODEPINK Supporter, Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, is holding vigil in Crawford, Texas until she gets a meeting with George Bush. She has some simple questions to ask him: “Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for? If the cause is so noble, why don’t you send your twins?” She also has a clear demand: “Honor our sacrifices by bringing our nation's sons and daughters home from a war based on lies and deceptions.” On Saturday, as Cindy marched towards the ranch where...

Lance Armstrong, seven time winner of the Tour de France bicycle race and cancer activist has apparently given his endorsement of the radical anti-American group Code Pink.Armstrong was quoted last week decrying funding for Operation Iraqi Freedom, saying the money would be better spent on cancer research. That quote, along with a photo of Armstrong in his yellow racing uniform, has been up all week on the Website of Code Pink's latest antiwar project, One Million Reasons, which is an online petition drive asking people to state their reasons for opposing the war in Iraq. Code Pink says the petition...
