Free Republic

Wednesday was yet another eventful day in the hallowed halls of Congress. Screaming, "War Criminal!" at our own Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Code Pink followers exchanged their lovely, subdued pink costumes for the more easily identifiable blood-red. Painting their hands and our walls bright red is, in my mind, a more honest portrayal of the Marxist group's intentions in America, and provides a little more revelation for those who get all their news from the mainstream media complex and the Daily Show. Are the Democrats beginning to wake up in light of this revelatory "coming-out" of the Pinkos?...

Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, is hoping that the city eventually addresses the de-facto hotel/lobbying operation run by the group Code Pink from a residentially zoned five-bedroom row house at 712 Fifth St. NE.Mr. Taylor's puzzlement is understandable, for the Code Pink provocateurs advertise the apparent zoning violations on their Web site, www.codepink4peace.org."The bedrooms vary in size and can house two to four activists in each," the far-left group writes in the D.C. section of the site.The Code Pinkies say the brownstone can handle as many as 20 activists at a time, which is an apparent...

Tonite's show will include a panel discussion about the menacing behavior Code Pink displayed yesterday at a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing. I believe the show starts at 7 pm Eastern. Don't know where in the hour it will be, but I suspect early in the show.

Admittance to hearings is not by queue. How did this Desiree Farooz get, not only into the hearing room, but close to Mme. Rice? Which moonbat authorized her entry? Is there any way to find out?

An anti-war demonstrator accosted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she arrived to testify at a hearing on Capitol Hill, shouting "war criminal" before being dragged away by security. Members of the Capitol Police department also removed several members of the anti-war group "Code Pink" from the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing room, who struggled as they left. The hearing began on schedule and Rice's testimony did not appear to be affected by the incident.

This is the puddle where a heroic act of lifesaving occured that evening. While I was not witness to the actual event, Mr Trooprally filled me in on the details later: During one of the downpours, our fearless leader Kristinn saw a moth helplessly flailing about in a large puddle at the entrance to Walter Reed (see photo above). With no concern for his own safety, he waded out into the aformentioned puddle until he came upon the hapless creature. Having though through the rescue attempt beforehand, he had armed himself with a leaf which he would use as a...

Desiree Anita Ali-FairoozShe appeared out of nowhere on behalf of Code Pink. How was she able to get this close to Condi Rice?Protester with blood-colored hands confronts RiceCaption Condoleezza Rice confronted by barking moonbat Code Pinko hag (barf alert)Perino: It seems that Congress is run by Code Pink

The White House reacted harshly Wednesday after a protester at a House hearing got close enough to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to put her dyed hands in Rice’s face. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, referencing the incident and calling it “despicable,” said it “seems that, increasingly, Congress is being run by Code Pink.” The anti-war group’s members are often arrested on Capitol Hill for disrupting congressional hearings and events. However, few protests have been as dramatic as Wednesday’s, at which protester Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz screamed at the secretary of State and yelled that the blood “of millions of Iraqis”...

Only one call to the police and no false alarm to the fire department this week in our continuing FReep to evict Code Pink's corporate lobbying HQ in a residential neighborhood. The one police call was from a neighbor. The problem arose while Kristinn was taking to Pinko Midge (BELOW). The gates to both residences were right adjacent to each other. While talking Kristinn had unknowingly drifted over by a step and was in front of the neighbor's gate. When the neighbor returned from walking her dog and had to ask Kristinn to move. Kristinn immediately did and continued talking...

A new front has opened in the war over the war: zoning regulations. Last week, the conservative grassroots organization FreeRepublic.com held its second protest outside the Northeast Washington house that serves as a base of operations for the anti-war group Code Pink. Along with other groups, FreeRepublic.com alleges that Code Pink has set up a “corporate lobbying office” in a residential neighborhood. According to a Free Republic release, neighbors have “complained of Code Pink-affiliated buses being parked on their street, increased traffic, loud gatherings, unkempt trash and strangers going in and out of the house at all hours of the...

Taking back the streets from Code Pinkos Note to smelly old hippies: "YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE ANY MORE." History was made this week in the battle against treason, defeatism and pacifism at any price. Hundreds upon hundreds of proud Americans took time away from their jobs and families in the middle of a Wednesday to march in the streets and say loudly and clearly that Code Pink and the anti-military left do not speak for America. And we beat them back in their own backyard – in the liberal stronghold of Berkeley, Calif. Berkeley was ground zero for the...

The U.S. Marine Corps recruiting station in Berkeley, Calif., has become a battleground for protesters. A "pro-troop" organization rally on Wednesday was aimed at countering anti-war protesters who have been demonstrating for the last three weeks. Code Pink, a leftist anti-war group, began protesting the nine-month-old recruitment center on Sept. 26. The group posted signs saying "recruiters are traitors" and "recruiters lie, children die." The group also sent a message to their supporters saying: "The Marines have landed in Berkeley! We are shocked and infuriated they have opened a despicable Officer Recruiting Station just blocks from Berkeley High School, UCB...

The anti-war group Code Pink has not only trashed a Marine recruiting office in Berkeley, but calls military recruiters “traitors.” Pam Meister looks at both historic and recent events that put these laughable claims into some important perspective. Click here to read this piece about Code Pink

They have...

House Speaker Pelosi lashes out at antiwar protesters By Patrick Martin 15 October 2007 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in Washington, normally maintains a public display of sympathy towards the mass opposition to the war in Iraq—an opposition which propelled the Democrats into control of the House and Senate in the congressional elections last November. But in the course of a press interview October 9, reported the following morning in the Christian Science Monitor and the Washington Post, Pelosi gave vent to the resentment and hostility that leading Democrats actually feel towards the antiwar protest movement. The...

Berkeley -- Dozens of flag-waving military supporters squared off boisterously with peace activists today in the first major showdown over of a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting station that until recently had been operating below the radar in downtown Berkeley. Demonstrators led by conservative radio talk-show host Melanie Morgan shouted down members of Code Pink, a group spawned by Bay Area peace activists, as both lined Shattuck Avenue and Addison Street outside the recruiting station, which was closed today. Shortly before noon, there was a physical confrontation between the two camps, which prompted Berkeley police Sgt. Randy Files to bellow at...

Letters in Response to Capt. Lund and Code Pink • Editors, Daily Planet: Thank you for printing the letter by Captain Richard Lund. I work in a building on University Avenue. I am a woman, I am a mother, I am the wife of a veteran, I am a liberal, I am a democrat, I am a staunch opponent to this war, and I am an enemy of President Bush. And I am ashamed. Wars aren’t created by the military, they are created by politicians and their self- serving constituents. The Code Pink protest is an insult to the sacrifices...
