Code Pink Women For Peace (hereafter to be nicknamed "Code Pinko" in this blog, more on that later) has Lynn Woolsey as one of 200 signatures of prominent women for the group's "Urgent Peace Plan" to end the War in Iraq. Other signers include Berzerekeley CA's own Barbara Lee (the lone dissenter against the resolution for military action after 9/11) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).

For kids, Christmas means toys. For boys in particular, the hottest toys often have a martial theme — BB guns, army men, light sabers and the like. But this Christmas season, some parents trudging to the malls for G.I. Joes have had to meet the politically correct platoons now infiltrating the local Toys R' Us. Code Pink, a leftist women's outfit that's a fixture at antiwar rallies, is taking a break from protesting real conflict in Iraq to campaign against so-called "war toys." As the Pink website warns: "Every holiday season manufactures prey on our children with pro-war propaganda disguised...

Wearing a Communist Party Shirt Is Patriotic!

Speaking to up to 1,500 anti-war protesters and activists, Mr Benn condemned the conflict in Iraq as "illegal, immoral and unwinnable". The event at the Royal Horticultural Hall in central London was organised by the Stop the War Coalition. Convenor Lindsey German hopes to find ways to progress the peace movement. "This is a day of people coming together to talk about how we can take the troops out of Iraq and allow the Iraqi people to run their country," she said. 'Positive movement' The morning was dominated by Mr Benn's speech, in which he said the current peace movement...

Let me guess. These words were taken out of context.

Monday, Dec. 5, 2005 8:05 p.m. EST DNC's Dean: U.S. Will Lose War in Iraq Democratic Chairman Howard Dean on Monday likened the war in Iraq to Vietnam and said, "The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong," comments that drew immediate fire from Republicans. In an interview with WOAI-AM in San Antonio, Dean criticized what he called President Bush's "permanent commitment to a failed strategy" while saying, "We need to be out of there and take the targets off our troops' back." Dean suggested "a strategic redeployment" of U.S....

Who's funding the insurgents in Iraq? The list of suspects is long: ex-Baathists, foreign jihadists, and angry Sunnis, to name a few. Now add to that roster hard-core Euroleftists.

Outside Walter Reed on Friday Nights, Two Camps Stand Their Ground Every Friday night, Gael Murphy and Kristinn Taylor meet in Northwest Washington, separated by a bustling four-lane road -- and a whole lot more. Since spring, the two have stood firmly on opposite sides of Georgia Avenue NW in front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Murphy leading a coalition of war protesters, Taylor marshaling supporters of the Iraq war. Both sides say they are there to support the troops. Beyond that, there's little common ground. "They start yelling, 'Murderer!' 'Traitor!' They call me by name," said Murphy, a...

ANTI-MILITARY WHACKOS COMING TO SAN DIEGO MILITARY HOSPITALS! CODE PINKOS YELL AT INJURED MILITARY AND GRIEVING FAMILIES AT WALTER REED AND BALBOA NAVAL HOSPITAL DON'T LET THIS STAND! CodePink is at it again. For the past several months, this radical anti-everything group has been disgracing itself by holding weekly demonstrations outside Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. – in full view of wounded soldiers going out to dinner with their families on Friday evenings. They've been effectively countered by the diligent efforts of groups like Free Republic and Protest Warrior, who have set up their own demonstration of support...

For the twenty-second consecutive week, members of the DC Chapter of Free Republic, FR lurkers, out of state Freepers, Republican Operatives, mil-bloggers and many others gathered across the street from the main gate at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, on the northeast corner of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW, to show our unconditional support for our troops, their mission and our great country.Our group began assembling on our corner at 6:30pm, and we discovered that the womyn of Code Pink had already been...

Save the Walter Reed Vigil Appeal to Our Vets and Active Duty Soldiers Inside Walter Reed The Walter Reed Vigil is a very discreet, dignified project taking place for two hours each Friday evening between 7 and 9 pm. We want those who have paid a terrific price for their country to be kept close to our hearts and minds. We don't call for you to be honored with parades and flags; others will do that. We are calling on the country to honor its veterans, active duty, reserves, and National Guard, with full benefits, commitment to long-term health...

NEW YORK - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hurt slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone. An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit. “I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly,” Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan’s Union Square on Monday. “I was shoved around.”

Stung by the success and resilience of the patriotic counter-demonstration by Freepers of Code Pink's ghoulish 'antiwar' protests outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Code Pink leader Gael Murphy and a couple Pinkos distributed flyers door to door to the houses in a several block area around Walter Reed urging residents to call the police in order to run off the D.C. Chapter from there. The two sided flyers featured a graphic promoting the 'antiwar' activities in Washington next weekend on one side and a letter from Code Pink to the residents in the Walter Reed neighborhood...

Dana Milbank and Alan Cooperman do a pretty good job of making John J. Tierney look like an alarmist nut based on their report of his presentation at the Heritage Foundation yesterday. His upcoming book apparently researches the funding and momentum behind the burgeoning anti-war protest industry and finds a lot of evidence that it primarily consists of unreconstructed communists. The Washington Post report of the event has Tierney painting a pretty broad brush on this score, however, and starts out by using what it believes to be a killer emotional rebuttal: Cindy Sheehan: anti-American communist? That was the accusation...

WASHINGTON - Organizers are planning what they say will be the largest anti-war demonstration in the nation's capital since the Iraq war began in March 2003. The ANSWER Coalition and United for Peace and Justice detailed their plans Thursday for the Sept. 24 protest. They plan to bus in people from across the country for a march past the White House. Other major protests are planned that day in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq, is on a 25-state bus tour that will end at the...

The Hidden Agenda Behind the "Peace" Rallies..... As evidenced by the throngs of people attending the recent anti-war rallies in cities across America and around the world, the contemporary "peace" movement is one of the truly significant social phenomena of our time. It has organized a number of massive, synchronized demonstrations -- attended by millions -- in hundreds of cities all over the globe. On 15 February alone, simultaneous protests against US military action in Iraq were held in more than 600 cities. Though virtually unreported by the mainstream press, the organizers of every major rally to date have deep,...

The latest entrants in the saga of Cindy Sheehan vs. President Bush are white supremacists, as they plan to rally against the Iraq War this weekend in Crawford, Texas. Members of Stormfront.org are tossing their figurative hoods into the mix, as they invite supporters to come to Camp Casey to "let the world know that white patriots were first and loudest to protest this war for Israel." Anti-war activists, including one from CodePink, suggest 'Bush stinks' near the president's property in Crawford, Texas (photo: Fausto Fernos) "We don't want leftist Johnny-come-latelys who are misleadingly protesting this war – as if...
