Diane Irey Joins FReepers at Walter Reed - July 28Yes, we were graced by the presence of Rep. John Murtha's (D-Pa) worst nightmare! Diane Irey will unseat the treasonous EX-Marine this November! Almost everyone is in the picture! Diana Irey allowed herself to be corralled into a group photo before being whisked away by her manager(?). She talked with a lot of folks and, according to SMASH, she even spoke with the stinky Pinkos! Being a pretty rotten reporter, I have no idea what she said to anyone. Please - help me out people! Put your conversations with this nice...

AFTER WORK ON FRIDAY, I take the Red Line Metro train to Takoma Park, and walk a few blocks west to witness the Code Pink protest (and Free Republic counter-protest) outside the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. My first stop is to visit the Freepers and thank them for their support. When they realize who I am, they greet me like a conquering hero. Apparently, my successful efforts to drive away a similar protest outside Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego have made me somewhat of a legend amongst the Freepers. A special treat on this Friday evening is...

The late terrorist mastermind Abu Musab Zarqawi is doing more than pushing up daisies. He's fasting, too. Yes, that's Zarqawi -- or at least his ancestral tribal name -- along with his hometown of Zarqa, Jordan, listed on Code Pink's roll of protesters who are "fasting" in hopes that U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq. And how did the once-notorious terrorist's name wind up on the peace and social justice group's list, among celebrity fasters like the ice-cream-licking Cindy Sheehan? It was submitted by a merry prankster from the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, we've learned, a conservative group that...

See http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/2976421.shtml "Joan Braun, a member of Farmington Women in Black, a group that holds the silent peace vigil in front of the Farmington Post Office every Friday at noon, said she received an e-mail this week that CODEPINK had a break-through. She said long-term fasters, including Cindy Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in the war in 2004, have been invited to meet with five members of the Iraqi Parliament in Amman, Jordan. The gathering will be to discuss the peace movement and publicly break their fast with the Iraqi peacemakers."

Five antiwar activists, four of whom have been on a hunger strike for 25 days, were arrested yesterday... {snip} The arrests occurred after the five blocked the entrance and ignored police orders to move..... Three of the people arrested are members of CodePink, including its co-founder, Diane Wilson of Seadrift, Tex.

From the (Vermont) Burlington Free Press: Peace activist Cindy Sheehan cancels Vermont visitJuly 28, 20Peace activist Cindy Sheehan has canceled her visit to Vermont because she plans a trip to Jordan for peace talks there, organizers announced today.Sheehan was to have attended a rally Sunday at Montpelier's Unitarian Church.The rally will still be held, with Vermont organizers planning to address renewed efforts to end the war in Iraq and pursue impeachment of the Bush administration.The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and is free and public. It’s sort of like Ike saying he would go to Korea.Only different.

The American Left as "crisis cult" Clinical psychologist Robert Godwin proposes an interesting framework for understanding the increasingly bizarre behavior of the American Left at his very interesting website One Cosmos. Drawing on the work of psychoanalytic anthropologist Weston LaBarre, he posits that the left has become a “crisis cult” such as are found in societies whose bedrock assumptions break down in the face of the superior strength of foreign cultures impinging on their territory. Probably the most famous of the crisis cults are the cargo cults which developed in Melanesia. The Cargo Cults believe that manufactured western goods (‘cargo’)...

The below link is working to post a pic ... possibly due to the story being pulled. Cut 'n paste it to view. http://www.content.clearchannel.com/Photos/military/patriotism/cindy_sheehan_GI34.jpg I found this to be a very odd photo? Perhaps it's already been discussed in a previous thread. Talk about an opportunist! The article was pulled, but if you Google "Cindy Sheehan Protest"....the photo appears on the first page, second row. Is this the only photo from the photo opt session?

Laura Ingraham & CODE PINK on O'REILLEY NOW!

Michael Moore has made a career of butting heads with bigwigs. His documentaries, laced with satire on politics and society, have taken aim at General Motors Corp. (Roger & Me), the National Rifle Association (Bowling for Columbine, the 2002 Oscar winner) and U.S. President George W. Bush (Fahrenheit 9/11). Still in the works is Sicko, a none-too-flattering perspective on the U.S. health-care system. And he's overseeing the second annual Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan, which he established last year with author Doug Stanton and photographer John Robert Williams. More than 70 films, many independently produced, will be shown in...

WASHINGTON, DC 7/21/06-- This FReep at the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center started out calmly enough, very much like so many others since we, the DC Chapter of Free Republic, have have been coming there every Friday night since March, 2005 to counter anti-war agitators organized by Code Pink. Nothing seemed different except the wildly enthusiastic beeps of passing cars. In summertime's long daylight, with many car windows open, the enthusiasm of the drivers for our support-the-troops rally is much easier to express. Even two DC Metro police officers patrolling the area gave us the thumbs up as...

They Don't Support the Troops by Lisa De Pasquale Posted Jul 27, 2006 The constant mantra of the radical left is that while they don’t support the war, they do support the troops. Other than making hollow and flippant claims of support, the anti-war left has done little for the troops or their families. To the contrary, their actions show how little respect they have for the military. In a recent interview with CodePink’s Troops Home Fast cofounder Diane Wilson, she dismisses the troops by comparing their real sacrifices and efforts to CodePink’s faux fast, which includes liquids like...

WASHINGTON -- New York lawmakers led a boycott Wednesday of the Iraqi prime minister's speech to Congress, furious that he still has not condemned Hezbollah's actions against Israel. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton did attend the speech, but her hopes to hear him take such a stand were dashed.

It was well over 90 degrees today in Washington, a typical hot, swampy day in the nation's capitol. Not what you would consider jacket weather. The House Gallery was filled to capacity as Iraqi Prime Minister al-Malaki took the podium and gave a historic address to a joint session of Congress. Al-Malaki was interrupted briefly by a protestor, shown being escorted out, here:

You would never know it from our one party media, but the "disruptor" at Prime Minister al-Maliki's speech was not just a random protestor.She was none other than the professional anti-America agitator (and Hugo Chavez paid agent) Medea Benjamin.From a CodePink press release: Medea Benjamin is arrested on July 26 for interrupting a speech by the Prime Minister of Iraq.Medea Benjamin Arrested For Disrupting Iraqi Prime Minister’s Congressional AddressFasting co-founder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange says Iraqis want war to endCODEPINK and Global Exchange cofounder Medea Benjamin is arrested on July 26 for interrupting a speech by the Prime Minister...

Al-Maliki was interrupted briefly by a shouting demonstrator wearing a pink T-shirt that read, "Troops Home Now." The young woman was lifted from her seat by officers and carried out of the House visitor's gallery, while al-Maliki paused and grimaced in irritation.

It was a nice lazy, early Dogs Day in August FReep. The FReepers were out numbered by the moonbats for only 10 minutes. Otherwise we had a lazy afternoon standing in the shady while the moonbats baked, and baked, and BAKED. The FReepers in attendance included regulars Lurker Bill, [Mrs] Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself along with BMWcyle (BMW) and Apple Blossom. BELOW: Lurker Bill and myself setting up the banners.

"The reason this happened was they were warned, they could hold any sign they wanted as long as it didn't say 'honk' on it," Kitchen said. "They were warned a couple of weeks ago. They decided to test it, evidently." Police Chief Michael Kitchen said . . .it's illegal to "incite people to sound their horn when not reasonably necessary." Kittila said. . . police first approached protesters in mid-June and said the signs urging people to honk had to go because they caused too much noise. . . changed the signs to say 'Ferndale police say don't honk if...
