From the Moonbats themselves SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 2006 NEW YORK CITY Unite for change - let's turn our country around! The times are urgent and we must act. Too much is too wrong in this country. We have a foreign policy that is foreign to our core values, and domestic policies wreaking havoc at home. It's time for a change.

Last Friday was the beginning of the "President's Day" holiday weekend, but it was also "Walter Reed Day" for a hardy bunch of folks. We had a smaller than usual group of Freepers and friends who support our troops and their mission this night. The traffic seemed lighter than usual for a Friday night. The weather was cold and the winds were gusty, but that didn't stop us from waving flags and signs; though we did have to cancel the deployment of the MOAB.Luckily for us, Albion Wilde had been working hard all week on her special project - she...

"Venezuela, by sending heating oil free of charge for poor and homeless people and at very low prices for those that can pay, is giving a great example of cooperation and solidarity with the American people; and the whole world is bearing witness to it," said the outstanding scholar, historian and university professor Noam Chomsky during a presentation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The event brought together professors, researchers, politicians, scholars, journalists, and social leaders from that city. Chomsky, who is also well-known in the field of linguistics, has lashed out the Bush administration foreign policy through his books...

Wearing pink gloves, Cindy Sheehan held a picture of her soldier son Casey who was killed while serving in Iraq. WBBM Newsradio 780's Nancy Harty reports the anti-war advocate shivered in the cold before a crowd gathered at Independence Park on Chicago's Northwest Side Saturday morning. She says Congressional Democrats are just as bad as Republicans when it comes to inaction on the Iraq war and urged supporters of peace must hold their congressmen accountable. Holding signs that said "the war isn't working," about one hundred opponents of the war loudly clapped their gloved hands, chanted and sang songs with...

You'd think that a woman with such an Irish-sounding name would have gotten a better reception down in Mount Greenwood. But Cindy "Peace Mom" Sheehan, known for protesting the Iraq war, was greeted at St. Xavier University on the Southwest Side with, well, protests. Sheehan was hired by the university's student activities board to give a speech titled "One person can make a difference, not one more," aimed at getting people involved in the peace movement. She's credited for re-energizing the anti-war movement by protesting outside President Bush's Texas ranch -- an effort to get him to meet with her....

by Mark Finkelstein February 8, 2006 - 20:21. Hardball's screen graphic "Global Fury" presumably referred to the rioting over the Mohammed cartoons. But it might also have been a subliminally sardonic comment about Chris Matthews' guest, Amy Goodman, host of the far-left radio show "Democracy Now." If Hillary is an angry woman, perhaps she's taken lessons from Goodman. This is one angry lady. Goodman's explanation by way of a justification of the rioting? "This is about people feeling marginalized. This has to do with the war in Iraq, this has to do with 'the Occupation' [translation: Israel's claim to a...

Last Friday was the fourth week that Freepers, Protest Warriors, friends, lurkers and other supporters of our troops had all four corners of the main entrance at Walter Reed, on which we were able to display our signs, flags and banners of support for the Wounded Warriors healing inside the hospital. BillF's computers have all suffered major malfunctions in the past two weeks, and he is unable to post his usual fabulous report again this week. Albion Wilde is working on a TOP SECRET project for this Friday, so she is also unable to post her usual fabulous report. So,...

Member of Marines not 'sort of person UW wanted to produce'The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school. Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."

Code Pink is asking for the public’s assistance to overturn the Visa denials of two Iraqi women. The women applied for Visa’s in order to take part in a protest in Washington D.C. on March 8th. Code Pink describes the protest as: A delegation of Iraqi and American women, including mothers who have lost their children in this war, will travel to Washington DC to pressure the Bush administration, meet with Congresspeople, hold public events and strategize for future actions. It will be an emotional and historic time, and we'd love for you to be there. Once again Code uses...

The old make wars and the young die in them; on Valentine's Day, grandmothers and others will demonstrate their love for this country and its young people by enlisting in the U.S. military in place of young people. The grandmothers vehemently oppose this war; their enlistment is not a show of support for military action in Iraq. But if...

WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 3, 2006—Last week's FReep was the third in our newly captured territory—all four corners of Walter Reed Army hospital's main gate—the DC Chapter having outsmarted Code Pink in mid-January, when after 40 weeks of counterprostests, the DC Chapters of FreeRepublic and Protest Warrior finally drove the Pinko womyn and associated quislings away from the gates. Our side, supporters of the troops and the mission outnumbered by three-to-one the pitiful remnants of Code Pink's newly-relocated "vigil" 'way down the block—they are out of our brave heroes' faces now! What's even better is that many more wounded troops and...

We have declared this Operation a SUCCESS!!!! The Revolutionary Communist Party, with it's front group WorldCantWait, showed up Saturday with their disgusting signs, their disgusting chants and their filthy appearence. Our group of intrepid PW's, Freepers, and the Leadership Institute's best and brightest, along with two brave wounded wariors from Walter Reed, and a contingent from George Washingtin University, assembled in Lafeyette Park at 1030 and set up our signs with messages of support for the current administration, the military, and the methods used by both to keep us safe from terrorists. Our favorite code pinko, Squeegee Boy showed up...

Armed with signs, flags, and spirit, we arrived at our corners across from Balboa Naval Hospital at 11:30 a.m., ready to counter Code Pink. They never showed up. Oh excuse me, we did have one guy who came to protest us. He shall forever more be known as "Mr. Lonely"! He started out by approaching us and saying,"I don't want to start an arguement but you know our troops are raping Iraqi women". When he couldn't sway us with his brilliance, he took his position on an opposite corner.The highlight of our day was a young Marine. He was driving...

Our anti-victory friends from CODEPINK are at it again. They're trying to pull a fast one on us, by scheduling a protest outside Balboa Naval Hospital on SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. Unfortunately for them, they forgot to check the kickoff time. The game starts at 3pm, but this event will be over no later than 1:30pm. Plenty of time to get home and have a couple of beers before the big game. This event will be held in honor of our good friend Mikey, who is in the hospital recovering from brain surgery. His wife and daughter will be attending in...

<p>On Jan 27, we held all four corners of the main gate at Walter Reed for the second week in a row. Per last week's thread and report, the Pinkos have been relegated to an area about a block away such that the wounded and their relatives do NOT have to pass close by them to enter or leave Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We had a great turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond including numerous Protest Warriors and other patriots. Although the night was cool, it was still warmer than usual for a January night.</p>

WASHINGTON - Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was arrested and removed from the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address, a police spokeswoman said. Sheehan, who had been invited to attend the speech by Rep. Lynn Woolsey (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, a misdemeanor, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. Sheehan was taken in handcuffs to police headquarters a few blocks away and her case was processed as Bush spoke. Schneider said Sheehan had worn a...

Cindy Sheehan Arrested Moments Before Bush State of the Union Speech C. L. Cook PEJ News January 31, 2006 Enduring the last hour of CNN's political "coverage" of George W. Bush's State of the Union, indistinguishable in style and substance, than the tedious preamble certain to precede next week's Super Bowl XL (Go Seahawks!), a momentary blimp in the pallid farce passing as analysis for the media corpse these sad days: "Cindy Sheehan has been arrested!" It took Wolf, Jeff, Paula, and that King guy only a heartbeat to frame the issue: "I think some Democrats are going to be...

SAN FRANCICSO (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, was set to speak Saturday night at a fundraising event that was expected to draw crowds of anti-war protesters. The New York senator was scheduled for an on-stage interview with television personality Jane Pauley at the fundraiser for the Bar Association of San Francisco, which represents more than 8,000 lawyers, law students and other legal professionals in the Bay Area. The anti-war group Code Pink urged its members to protest Clinton's stance on the Iraq war outside San Francisco's Nob Hill Masonic Center, where...

Our good friends at The American Thinker and Israpundit have uncovered a fascinating limitation upon 501c3s like Cindy Sheehan's Gold Star Families For Peace and Medea Benjamin's Code Pink and Global Exchange.To wit, it is a violation of their tax exempt status for such "charities" to plan and engage in illegal activities. From the guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service: J. ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ILLEGAL OR CONTRARY TO PUBLIC POLICY1. IntroductionExempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good. Therefore, the conduct of such activities may be a...
