<p>Comrade Bruce Wolf stepped on his own hammer and sickle tonight in his rush to make up for last week's "Death Bunny" fiasco.</p> <p>Code Pink's Gael Murphy will not be pleased to learn that in her absence, Comrade Bruce had led the Pinkos into yet another tactical blunder at Walter Reed.</p>

The moon may have been full last week, but I'm thinking there must have been a delayed effect on the Code Pink moonbats from down the street. "The Easter Bunny from Hell" showed up and did a little dance for our intrepid photographer Yikes! It doesn't get any scarier than that. Glad we keep the kids away from the moonbats or they'll be scarred for life. Mrs Trooprally appropriately titled the photo "I am a Moron" on her Photobucket site. Fortunately for the troops the moonbats are relegated to a spot down the street from the main entrance where few...

Seven-year-old Alvin Mitchell worked intently yesterday on what looked to be a blue balloon wrapped around a tennis ball. It was a fake version of a cluster bomb, and the real thing, he pronounced, can "blow you up and kill you."The fake bombs Alvin and a dozen other children were making at a peace workshop will be put to use Monday in Lafayette Square. As hundreds attend the White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn, a smaller group will gather at the park on the north side for what is being billed as a "family-friendly Easter cluster-bomb hunt."*"Obviously,...

4/9: Cluster Bomb, WMD&bin Laden Hunt outside White House's Easter Egg Roll -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: event-294810909@craigslist.org Date: 2007-03-15, 11:47PM EDT We're doing a new kind of demonstration outside the White House to bring attention to the civilian costs of war and cooked "intelligence" as an excuse to bomb and invade. It's called a Cluster Bomb and WMD/bin Laden Hunt and it will take place April 9 outside the White House Easter Monday when the White House is doing their Easter Egg Hunt. We expect 40,000 people to be crossing Lafayette Square and dozens of media. It's very family-orientated and designed...

Most notalgia for the past is either fond or bittersweet. In the case of Hippie nostalgia it is mostly ANGRY. Why? Because the Age of Aquarius never came to be. Back in the Hippie 60s the tambourine playing New Agers were CERTAIN that they were just the beginning of a new era of Peace, Love, and unlimited drugs. The Disco 70s began to cast doubt on that vision and the Reagan 80s pretty much destroyed it. Instead of a Collectivist Future we now live in a mostly Free Enterprise Present. On top of that the youth of today not...

Anti-war group CODEPINK is planning to take over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office at 4:00 pm, the group said. Protesters plan to play “Pin the war on the Donkey” to show their frustration with the Democratic leadership’s inaction of ending the war in Iraq. CODEPINK is expecting arrests.

The former senator and "Law and Order" actor Fred Thompson is being mentioned as a possible presidential candidate. Mr. Thompson has said he will keep an open mind about a 2008 campaign. In a recent interview, he blasted the reputation of Mahatma Gandhi, the most overrated man in the 20th century and one whose name now graces a building at James Madison University. Sen. Thompson noted that the anti-war group Code Pink had unveiled a giant paper mache model of Gandhi at one of their peace rallies, so gave this bit of history. "During World War II, Gandhi penned an...

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...

Kerr, Associated PressThursday, March 08, 2007 WASHINGTON — Some opponents of the Iraq war are taking their protests straight to Congress — staging “occupations” in legislators’ offices on Capitol Hill and in their home communities. U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel’s office in Chicago was targeted Thursday.

In Washington, peace activists dressed in pink showed up recently at the Senate offices of...

STP will have an entry in the Fort Collins St. Patrick’s Day Parade, March 17 The theme is ending the US occupation in Iraq. In preparation for what could be called a “marade” (a combination parade and march), STP is putting out a call for entries. We would like at least 3,000 people to participate but will accept any number of folks who are willing to hit the street in a sincere and heartfelt desire to end the war for oil that has killed over 3,000 young American soldiers and as many as 655,000 Iraqis.........

Code Pink Undermines War on Terror by John J. TierneyPosted Jan 29, 2007The women wear pink dresses and sportswear and carry pink parasols and pink protest signs that declare their opposition to the Iraq war. Mainly white and middle-aged, they proclaim themselves to be the wives and mothers and daughters of men and women in the armed services, and they say they are earnestly devoted to peace and opposed to U.S. war policies. Acting out bits of political theater, they denounce their enemies -- no, not Osama bin Laden -- but giant puppet figures who walk with them. The puppets...

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Golden Gate Bridge is open again to pedestrians and bikers after a hours-long closure earlier today. Highway Patrol and San Francisco police officers closed the bridge after a small group of peace protesters tried to march across the span. CodePink, an anti-war group, planned to walk across the bridge around noon today. The group, with members gathered at both ends of the bridge, was stopped by officers. After about three hours, officials arrested CodePink leader Medea Benjamin and a handful of other protesters for trespassing.

MEXICO CITY - Demonstrators stormed a Wal-Mart on the outskirts of Mexico City on Tuesday, accusing the U.S.-based retailer of selling low-cost goods at the expense of workers, farmers and public markets. About 250 protesters chanted "Out! Out!" in front of Wal-Mart's corporate headquarters before entering the adjacent store, where they blocked aisles for about 30 minutes before leaving. There were no immediate reports of arrests, injuries or damage. Ruben Garcia, a Mexican citizen who works with San Francisco-based activist group Global Exchange, said the discount chain's low prices take business away from the country's traditional public markets and depress...

#81 at Walter Reed - November 3, 2006 Dang, it was cold! Lovely skyline pic by Trooprally [Mrs]Yes, it was a dry, very cold night on Georgia Ave. Unbeknownst to us, our fearless (literally!) D.C. Chapter leader Kristinn was winging his way to Iraq! No foolin', Iraq! Read his reports #1 and #2. This was a trip sponsored by our good friend Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward and included Gold Star parents who wanted to meet with the brothers and sisters with whom their own children fought and died. The parents wanted to see for themselves what it was...

This past Friday I went back to Walter Reed, hoping to get some more interviews with the Code Pink protesters. But Bruce Wolf, the Code Pink bouncer, is on to my game. Bruce: Sir, please leave... I’m not trying to be fascist or something... SMASH: No, hopefully not! Nobody wants that... Bruce: But it’s making people feel uncomfortable... We’re not here to do interviews... What we’re thinking about, to be really honest, are the soldiers. You know, whether you believe us or not, that’s what we’re here for... when soldiers come out, we like to talk to them, because we...

SAN FRANCISCO -- About 40 peace activists, many of them dressed in pink and flashing peace signs, slowed traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge this morning and got into minor clashes with police. No one was arrested during the hour-and-a-half protest -- organized by the anti-war group Code Pink as part of International Peace Day -- but bridge authorities did confiscate signs and banners they said would distract drivers and slow traffic even more. There were also two minor collisions on the northbound side of the highway during the protest, which began at 8 a.m., according to Golden Gate...

SOMETIMES you see a man with a short haircut, athletic build and a military bearing, and you think to yourself, "I bet that man is a Marine." With Major Pain, there is no question. You know he is a Marine. Which makes him an ideal wingman for me when it's time to confront Code Pink and friends about their rude and disrespectful treatment of our soldiers outside Walter Reed Army Hospital. SMASH and Major Pain survey the field of battle There are about a dozen or so protesters there on Friday night. On any given evening, one or two of...

Cindy Sheehan claims in an interview with Randi Rhodes on Air America that Iraq's ambassador to the United State tricked her into breaking her fast: The ambassador from Iraq to America told us that if we would break our fast he would get us a meeting with Al Maliki. And we were there all day waiting. And, er, they had a reception there.  And the Ambassador said that he would get a meeting with us if we would come in and we would break our fast with him. And so we agreed to it. And pretty soon they all left...
