John Murtha, Hero of the War Protesters He's Pro-Gun, Likes Pork, But on Iraq, the Legislator Is Firmly in Their Camp By Lyndsey Layton Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, March 22, 2007; C01 Gruff, jowly John Murtha wouldn't seem to be a Code Pink kinda guy, what with his appetite for pork and his pro-gun, antiabortion Marine hero bona fides. But there the congressman was, in a Rayburn House Office Building hallway, gallantly protecting some war protesters from the group who had been tossed out of a hearing room and threatened with arrest. "He said 'I know these people,' he...

On Saturday, I was privileged to participate in the Gathering of Eagles in our nation's capital. The gathering was arranged on short notice, mostly via the Internet, as a way for American military veterans to stand and defend our national memorials against any efforts at vandalism by anti-war (and anti-America) protesters from the group ANSWER (Act Now to Stop the War and End Racism). Members of that group had defaced the U.S. Capitol Building with spray-paint in January. The Gathering of Eagles was designed to assist the United States Park Police in defending the Vietnam Wall and other monuments against...

(03/20/2007) CODEPINK's Desiree Fairooz interrupts Hillary Clinton Fundraiser with the "Why, Why, Hillary Why?" song to the tune of "American Pie" as another CODEPINK protester Jodie Evans gets dragged out by 3-4 secret service officers. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=960_1174488595&p=1

Neither snow nor rain nor sleet nor gloom of night, nor all four combined can keep the Freepers from our appointed duty.A special THANK YOU to everybody who came in from out-of-town to be with us! Many of you I know came from areas far north where the weather was much worse. Many people I spoke with told me that it was snowing that morning in their hometown when they left, and that the driving was tough the whole way down. Many I'm sure were not able to come at all. THANK YOU and we hope to see you again!...

The sun was cover by clouds. The wind picked and we kept our eyes on the crest of the bridge. There is no way to shield your eyes for this horror. In a few minutes, we will see the horrors of our culture. The freak parade will come by with the Bush hating masses of worthless souls. The DC Chapter has faced this for the last 9 years but it is never easy. You have to keep up the fire but you want to turn away from the Medusa like vision. We left the children home for this one. The...

We walked past the wall and the military venders in front of the Lincoln Memorial. My wife’s and my mission was to find the Freepers in this area. It was easy. The American flag on the above the Marine flag on a PVC pole told us one thing. The trooprallys were under those flags. The loud speakers of the moonbat’s PA were calling out geographic locations as we walked to the side of the big Lincoln. I heard some state’s name yelled into the PA. Then they yell that some moonbats were ”in the house” (How cliché). To my right...

The Gathering of Eagles, the squeaking of mice – Part 1 The morning started at 6:30 AM. Apple Blossom and I got up and headed for DC. What the day was going to be like was any guess. I have been going to local freeps since 1998. It started from the Saturday mornings at the White House to the fun at Olney and Walter Reed. We had heard that we had many on the way but it you never know until you get there. The traffic was light and we found parking quickly. The day already started well. While going...

What would it take for someone like me to have sympathy for someone like Nancy Pelosi? She is, after all, the most powerful woman in America at the moment. And she's been positively Machiavellian in her long political career. Not the type of person to arouse much sympathy from the average American. But then again, the average American has never encountered the likes of Code Pink and its new offshoot, PelosiWatch. You might think that Nancy Pelosi, being a liberal Democrat, would be a favorite of groups like Code Pink. Not so. The political goalposts have been moved so far...

What appeared to be a transvestite Code Pink protester joined the Valerie Plame hearing wearing a t-shirt with the words “Impeach Bush” written on it. The protester made several signals with his/her fingers, one is shown in the still shot.

Moonbats Get Stuck in Mud, Fail to Show for Protest!At least that's one excuse. We don't really know what happened, but the anarchists and spoiled brats from the Encampment to Stop the War steered clear of Walter Reed today. We declared Victory! around 5pm and packed up our flags and signs... then it started to rain ... and the "Encampment" inhabitants most certainly were not happy campers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Actually, these cheapskates were trying to get in out of the rain by getting arrested rather than pay for a hotel room. *sigh* Cindy-True-Supporter and Mike Sparling made several reconnaissance missions around...

I feel bad for Nancy Pelosi, AND her neighbors. Anti-war activists from the group Code Pink have been giving her the same treatment the president gets at his Crawford, Texas, ranch. Camping on her San Francisco lawn, they’re demanding she cut off funds to the troops in Iraq. Besides coolers and mattresses, protesters have brought along a giant paper mache statue of Mahatma Gandhi, who is pretty much the symbol of the anti-war movement. Code Pink was founded on his birthday, and when Saddam Hussein was being given a last chance to open Iraq to U.N. weapons inspectors, posters appeared...

San Francisco, meet Crawford, Tex. Using a tactic usually trained on the home turf of President Bush , a group of protesters from Code Pink, a women's antiwar group, have camped in front of the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi here, bringing their message -- and mattresses -- to the doorstep of the nation’s highest-ranking Democrat . The protest, which began Sunday afternoon with dozens of demonstrators, is just Code Pink's latest effort to engage Ms. Pelosi, who the group feels has not gone far enough or fast enough to get the troops home from Iraq .

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A few dozen peace activists marched across the Golden Gate Bridge and gathered outside the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, demanding that Congress stop funding the war in Iraq. "San Francisco has been against this war from the very beginning," said Toby Blome, a physical therapist who organized the event. "This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans." Blome, holding a plate of cheese and bread and a glass of wine, was stopped on her way to Pelosi's front door and...

Troop Rally and Peace Fair When rumors of a U.S. troop surge hit Baghdad recently, a lot of terrorists quickly left town. Others redoubled their efforts to kill women and children with their sneaky, underhanded method of planting bombs in civilian areas. But soldiers and police were quick to seize the initiative. Dividing the city into 10 security districts, Iraqi forces recently seized a huge cache of explosives from the cowardly terrorists. And more Iraqi peacekeepers are pouring in. “We have seen a decrease (in violence) in the last three weeks, a pretty radical decrease, actually,” US Army Lieutenant...

Walter Reed FReep Week 97 -- Almost Missed the Bus!Washington, DC, February 23, 2007 -- Comrade Bruce doesn't like being left out of the spotlight. Poor guy, saw a camera truck and went nuts! Around 7pm, a NBC crew was finishing up a story about Building 18 (the Barracks) on Georgia Avenue. TFroatz was standing by and asked the on-air talent "What's up?" They exchanged a few words, shook hands and parted ways. Bruce was across the street at the designated anti-America "vigil" station watching the brief scene play out. When the NBC guys headed back to their truck,...

Senator Hillary Clinton is running for president. Twelve people killed in a helicopter crash Saturday in Iraq. Thirteen other service members reported killed in other incidents. Two more on Sunday and two more on Monday. Twenty-nine people dead in the last three days in a war that the senator has supported since she first voted "yea" to give Bloody George carte blanche to invade Iraq and with her continuing support via her "yea" votes on giving the war addict in the White House the key to the treasury. Soon after Camp Casey, in August 2005, I was meeting with some...
