Leftist anti-American, terrorist-supporting groups have announced they will hold a "non-violent direct action" protest at the White House on Monday, October 5th calling for the complete withdrawal of American forces from the Afghanistan and Pakistan theaters in the war on terror, thereby giving victory to al Qaeda and the Taliban.One of the groups leaders is Code Pink's Jodie Evans, an early and top financier of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The millionairess Evans is an acknowledged expert in playing the inside-outside game of radical politics--playing the radical on the streets while being chauffered in a Cadillac Escalade to high-level meetings with...

A beautiful evening in Washington DC brought out 14 faithful FReepers to our weekly vigil outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center. It was not quite the 500-800 that we had last week on 9-11-09, but quite enough to let the troops know that our support never waivers. A huge THANK YOU again to everyone who was able to come last week. Here is Mr Trooprally setting up station in front of the main entrance Caddy corner from him was Lurker Bill, Having observed this operation for almost 5 years it's interesting how it all works. Some FReepers, like me, are...

Last Friday, September 11 2009, somewhere around 500 patriots gathered outside of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC. It was the largest number of people that we have had there since Free Republic started holding vigils there in early 2005. Certainly also a lot more than the dozen or so we usually get on a Friday night! I am just going to go straight off to the photos you are interested in the most; the ones from when the crowd was at it's maximum: The whole event had a festival atmosphere. We set up tents in the small...

Walter Reed - Weeks 228 and 229, August 28 and September 4, 2009; Friday Evening 9/11 – Next Week, Join Us FRONT GATE NOTES Next Friday, 9/11, Please Join Us Two weeks of great weather have set the stage for a great rally this Friday, 9/11. Many patriotic groups are gathering this week in Washington to protest growing taxes and increasingly intrusive government programs. These groups encourage fiscal responsibility and limited government. Elected representatives who are out of touch with their constituents will find it hard to ignore the tens of thousands constituents on Washington DC streets. They won’t be...

"He was swift-boated," said Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink and a San Franciscan who has known Jones for 15 years.

"He was swift-boated," said Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink and a San Franciscan who has known Jones for 15 years. She spoke to him recently and said he was "very conflicted" about whether to resign. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/09/07/MNT319JJCF.DTL&tsp=1#ixzz0QRiEAMHs

Credit to Freeper onemiddleamerican for finding this late last night.Van Jones, the controversial Green Jobs Czar in the Obama administration endorsed an anti-police day of action initiated by a Maoist communist cult group, the Revolutionary Communist Party, in 2006.The statement for the action is entitled, "Call for Oct. 22, 2006: Eleventh Annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation", and states in part:Why isn’t the escalation of police brutality and murder in recent years headline news? Perhaps because these images don’t comply well with the need to project images of police as...

Here is video of "Code Pink" leader Medea Benjamin admitting anti-ObamaCare protesters have "been effective in making this a real national debate," but she criticized what they have said because she supports a total Government take over of Health Care ("Single-Payer system"). Benjamin also slammed Obama's approach to Health Care as "stupid," saying he should be going for the "Single-Payer" system instead of a "public option," although he could settle for that if he can't get total Government-run Health Care. This video shows a few things. One, it it sad to compare the average citizens who have turned out to...

Here is video from a Town Hall Meeting in Phoenix held by Sen. John McCain where a woman from the radical anti-war group "Code Pink" interrupted McCain and yelled at him. McCain told the woman she would have to stop or leave. When she refused, McCain told her "Goodbye." She was escorted out of the meeting hall as the crowd cheered McCain. . . . . (Watch Video)

Matthew Vadum, writing in today's American Spectator, blows the cover off Barack Obama's plans to hijack the observance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by turning it over to the radical leftist Lennox Yearwood of the politically well-connected Hip Hop Caucus. This news has been hiding in plain sight, but got lost in the battle this month over nationalized health care, so Vadum has done a great service by bringing this to our attention. Vadum's piece has been picked up by Michelle Malkin and Gateway Pundit.This article is intended to fill in some big pieces of the picture about what this...

ust a few years back, she was the media’s darling. Cindy Sheehan, mother of a soldier slain in Iraq, led the anti-war charge against George W. Bush. Egged on by the mainstream media and left-wing activists eager to put a “face” to their cause, she camped out in front of Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. The entire situation became a media circus, with Sheehan at its epicenter. We saw her getting her hair cut at “Camp Casey,” saw her visiting her son’s grave with media flunkies in tow, and watched her get up close and personal with Hugo Chávez. Feted...

That was then. Now, even though the United States still has roughly 130,000 troops in Iraq, and is quickly escalating the war in Afghanistan -- 68,000 troops there by the end of this year, and possibly more in 2010 -- anti-war voices on the Left have fallen silent. No group was more angrily opposed to the war in Iraq than the netroots activists clustered around the left-wing Web site DailyKos. It's an influential site, one of the biggest on the Web, and in the Bush years many of its devotees took an active role in raising money and campaigning for...

A special spot in hell is reserved for the media whose shameless hypocrisy has sunk to new lows with their feigned indignation over health care town hall protests. Even as they currently bluster about 'astroturf' and shout down guests about shouting people down, these same Obama sycophants refused to condemn orchestrated disruptions aimed at the Bush administration, and, in some cases, may actually have conspired to execute them. According to Dante, the eighth circle of hell holds those who have committed conscious fraud or treachery -- such as the Media wing of the Democratic Party has been perpetrating. Perhaps most...

Past the barber shops advertising $6 military cuts, weapons stores and used car lots, an anti-war coffeehouse occupies a small wooden house on a corner of Texas' biggest Army town. Six months after opening, the Under the Hood cafe has become home to a growing number of veterans and active-duty soldiers who are beginning to question America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Less than a mile from the gates of 53,000-troop Fort Hood, the cafe is a place where soldiers, many of them fresh off of multiple deployments, can swap stories and ideas without fear of retribution, its supporters say....

Bret Baier reported that "tons of email" followed the comments of Mort Kondracke and Charles Krauthammer on the Monday panel (Aug. 10th). Rush picked up on their comments today and Mort was back defending himself this evening. I emailed the show tonight (Special@foxnews.com) and let off some steam. Just wondering how many fellow Freepers have voiced their opinions of Mort's ridiculous positions such as the ones expressed last night and tonight (comparing Town Hall attendees with Code Pink protestors) -- especially since he doesn't have a public email at Roll Call or anywhere else that I'm aware of. I trust...

The state run media has recently become obsessed with the so-called birther movement ('Birther' Coverage Hits Fever Pitch, Politico 8/10/09. In an effort to paint as kooks those who question Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president or who just want Obama to be more forthcoming about his background, the media compares them to the 9/11 truthers.This same media, (especially Politico and MSNBC) which puts pressure on Republican officials and conservative commenters to distance themselves from birthers, was silent when it came to the Democratic party and Barack Obama embracing a prominent 9/11 truther and Osama bin Laden sympathizer.Jodie Evans,...

Remember when the media lionized Cindy Sheehan and her fellow anti-war Code Pink protesters as they protested the war with tactics like disrupting multiple State of the Union addresses? The President’s inauguration? Hearings and public events too numerous too mention? And I’m sure you’ve all seen news reports about union groups and other liberal activists storming the campaign offices of Republicans and things like that. It happens all the time. It’s interesting to watch those same media types who seemingly have no problems with liberal activists harassing Republicans cluck their tongues derisively when Democrats are confronted by angry constituents at...

Per a telephone call from friend to me tonight.

Liberals Paint Health-Reform Protesters As Dangerous Nuts Tuesday, August 04, 2009 By Susan Jones, Senior Editor (CNSNews.com) – Democrats have a warning for Republicans: Angry constituents who berate their congressional representatives at public forums are “dangerous” people. “These are the sort of excessive displays that breed a backlash,” wrote a Politico.com blogger on Monday. The national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee linked to the Politico item in a mass email on Tuesday, effectively endorsing the blogger’s message. “Yes, there is now much energy on the right,” Politico’s Jonathan Martin wrote on Monday afternoon, adding “there is danger in...
