Free Republic

I came driving out of a parking lot of a corporate office to be met by a group of protesters who were holding up some sign about Venezuela. There were about eight people involved in the protest, and their obvious “spokes-person” was some lady who was being interviewed by a press-person with a camera, a video type camera that looked like one that would be used by a television news crew. I didn’t spot the television van but this was a busy boulevard, and clearly the person taking the interview wasn’t among the protesters and was some sort of media...

JINSA Report #512 Readers know JINSA has been supporting dinners at Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse for soldiers recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (JINSA Report #448:  Veterans Day & Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse). In fact, you raised several thousand dollars for the effort - thank you. So we are disgusted by news that anti-war protesters have been congregating at Walter Reed and heckling the buses that leave to take the soldiers to the restaurant on Friday nights. Protesters hold signs reading "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton." Among the props are mock caskets. These people claim to...

White supremacists are planning to swarm the protest site of Cindy Sheehan in Crawford, Texas this weekend, claiming that this whole anti-war thing was their idea. Bringing their white dunce caps with them, Stormfront.org plans to show up and “git ‘r’ done.” Their battlecry? To “let the world know that white patriots were first and loudest to protest this war for Israel.” Yawn. “We don’t want leftist Johnny-come-latelys who are misleadingly protesting this war – as if the war is about oil (not true), or as if it’s right-wing patriots who launched this war (not true) – to hijack the...

FreeRepublic.com had an excellent Freep tonight of Code Pinkos. WE SUPPORTED OUR TROOPS! Someone else will do the full after action report. Here are just a few quick photos. We outnumbered them about 100 to 25 by my estimate. See Photos: http://TroopsSupport.com/WalterReed082605a/index.htm

The people who have decided to protest in fornt of Water Reed Hospital holding signs that read "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton," apparently do not take into account the feelings of the wounded soldiers who can see them from their windows. These are recovering soldiers who believe in what they do and the very people who defend American's right to protest. To stand outside their hospital windows and spit on their sacrifice is a new low for the liberal estalishment.

-snip Current Democratic National Party Chair Howard Dean's organization Democracy for America is also involved, as is the more radical anti-war group Code Pink organized by San Francisco's Medea Benjamin. -snip-

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Thousands of war protesters have come and gone since a grieving mother started camping off the road leading to President Bush's ranch three weeks ago, from business executives to young parents and their children spending a few hours or days for the cause. But for more than a dozen people, their home for much of the sweltering month has been the makeshift campsite of tents and portable toilets in ditches and anti-war banners hanging from trees. "It's staggering what's happened," said camp leader Ann Wright, who resigned her post as a senior diplomat at the U.S....

Kevin McCarron, a leader of Veterans For Peace, is the second protester seen in the CNSNews produced video report on the Code PINK sponsored anti-war protest held Friday evenings at Walter Reed. In Issue 227 of SOCIALIST REVIEW Published February 1999 in an article titled "Oil on troubled waters, Mister McCarron calls Desert Storm troops "baby killers: The December bombing of Iraq, moreover, has sparked a protest movement against both the bombing and the sanctions. By the hundreds and thousands, demonstrators protested against the bombing in cities across the US. Town meetings organised by socialists and other anti-war activists drew...

These photos were taken by Freeper tgslTakoma,while with the DC Chapter of Freerepublic when they were counter protesting Code Pink. Code pink is protesting our wounded military heroes at Walter Reed hospital. Code Pink is trying to whitewash the intent of their protests saying that they are at walter Reed for peaceful purposes. Judge for yourself:

With all the radio talk shows and even television media almost swarming over the story about Code Pink-Os weekly Friday night blood dance at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the leaders of Code Pink are trying to say they don't have signs demeaning of our soldiers and their mission. They are trying to say that theirs is a somber and supportive "peace vigil." And that is a bald-faced LIE.I have been remiss in not getting my photos up on Webshots in a timely manner, because BillF's photos have been fabulous, and I haven't felt any pressure.Well, now the pressure is...

Cindy Sheehan, Wednesday, August 24, 2005: I’m like if I truly was a media whore do you think I would like maybe get myself fixed up a little bit before I went on?

With the President back at his Crawford ranch, the anti-war protest right outside his ranch is getting a lot more media attention. ABC7 looks at who is financing the operation and who's providing on-the-ground support. The camp at Crawford is full of Cindy Sheehan supporters, people from all walks of life. But off to the side are a small group of professionals, skilled in politics and public relations who are marketing her message. Cindy Sheehan kneels before a cross with her son's name on it, touches his picture, wipes her tears. It's an outpouring of emotion that is part of...

HEAR IT NOW -- PEACE HOUSE DEALINGS.

To the Many Brave American Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, As you look out your window or walk by them on the street there may be a few dozen people standing around wearing pink from an organization that calls itself Code Pink. I know the participants look like they are holdovers from the Vietnam era and are unkempt and dirty, but they decided that protesting you instead of protesting American policy is the right thing to do. You have to excuse them because they are Baby Boomers and represent the selfish wing of that generation. It is amazing...

Just heard Free Republic mentioned on Fox News for alerting a CNS reporter about the shameful protesters at Walter Reed.

Protesting the Troops Anti-war demonstrators organized by a group backing Cindy Sheehan's Crawford vigil have taken their protests to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., home to hundreds of soldiers wounded in Iraq. Code Pink (search) and others have camped out across from the hospital's main entrance once a week since March chanting, "George Bush kills American soldiers" and lining up caskets to represent the dead in Iraq. The demonstrators say their protests and signs with slogans like "Maimed for a lie" are less offensive than the war itself. But recent patient Kevin Pannell tells Cybercast News that...

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring U.S. troops home immediately. "When I get up [to heaven], he's gonna say, 'Good job, mom,'" Mrs. Sheehan said in a speech last night upon her return to Crawford, Texas. "He's not going to say, 'Why'd you make me spin in my grave?' you know. And I can just hear him saying, 'George Bush, you are really an idiot. You didn't know what you were...
