Free Republic

The Washington Post had two articles posted online reporting on today's pro-terrorist rally in Washington, D.C. The earlier version accurately quoted and characterized my words and actions as part of the D.C. Chapter's counter-protest of the rally on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House.Unfortunately, that article has disappeared down the memory hole. Only an excerpt remains in The Post's archive search:...front of the White House, after they had several heated exchanges with the demonstrators. "It was for safety reasons," Kristinn Taylor who organized the small group to oppose the rally he called "pro-terrorists." The primary organizer for today's...That...

I had a great time last night. Unfortunately only a small handfull of pinkos showed up, and they weren't even wearing their pink shirts. Well, except for "Ballerina Boy" -- he was wearing a faded pink color shirt. I met several people that I knew from online, like Smash and Olga, and made many new friends. (Sorry if I can't remember everyone's names, the two meds I take for my paralysis really mess up my short term memory.) All-in-all it was a real blast. If you've thought about coming down on a Friday and you haven't then you need to...

When exactly is the Walter Reed Freep? When approx does it end? and how much time afterwards would I need to get to Reagan airport> The reason I ask is I am going to be in DC on business on Friday September 8th and would like to attend but I need to be home by Saturday morning.

This week's report is (almost) entirely stolen from a wounded warrior in residence at Walter Reed (Elijah), and from a Veteran on temporary assignment here in D.C. (Citizen SMASH). I just felt was waaaaaay better than winging it as usual. Enjoy! Ashley and Megan finding their favorite signs. Friday with FreeRepublicBy Sgt. Elijah Allen, Contact Right...Taking Fire!In a war where most people have decided not to choose sides openly (ie. We Support the Troops, but We don't support the war.) it does me well to see people come out with a pair of brass balls. People choose to only to...

Honor roll for this week: Lurker Bill, BillF, Cindy-True-Suppoter, and Myself (BufordP)We arrived around 2:30. Got everything set up. Took about 20 minutes. This is only my third Olney Freep. Filling in for Mr. and Mrs Trooprally while they were out of town. While we were making trips back and forth from the cars to the corner with all our gear, people driving by already began honking their horns before we got a single sign in place. They knew why we were there and wanted to show their appreciation. (Not registered. Doesn't lurk.) Lurker Bill Cindy passed along to...

I ARRIVE EARLY at Walter Reed, to help the Freepers and friends set up their large banners expressing support for the military. As we're getting established, a car full of soldiers in civilian clothes leaving the hospital grounds pulls up, and one of them asks what our purpose is (listen to the audio). When I tell him, they all smile, and tell us how much it means to them that someone is showing some appreciation for what they do. The passenger in back has a cast on his arm; he tells me he was injured in Iraq while serving with...

Diane Irey Joins FReepers at Walter Reed - July 28Yes, we were graced by the presence of Rep. John Murtha's (D-Pa) worst nightmare! Diane Irey will unseat the treasonous EX-Marine this November! Almost everyone is in the picture! Diana Irey allowed herself to be corralled into a group photo before being whisked away by her manager(?). She talked with a lot of folks and, according to SMASH, she even spoke with the stinky Pinkos! Being a pretty rotten reporter, I have no idea what she said to anyone. Please - help me out people! Put your conversations with this nice...

Fasting eternal The late terrorist mastermind Abu Musab Zarqawi is doing more than pushing up daisies. He's fasting, too. Yes, that's Zarqawi -- or at least his ancestral tribal name -- along with his hometown of Zarqa, Jordan, listed on Code Pink's roll of protesters who are "fasting" in hopes that U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq. And how did the once-notorious terrorist's name wind up on the peace and social justice group's list, among celebrity fasters like the ice-cream-licking Cindy Sheehan? It was submitted by a merry prankster from the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, we've learned, a conservative...

AFTER WORK ON FRIDAY, I take the Red Line Metro train to Takoma Park, and walk a few blocks west to witness the Code Pink protest (and Free Republic counter-protest) outside the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. My first stop is to visit the Freepers and thank them for their support. When they realize who I am, they greet me like a conquering hero. Apparently, my successful efforts to drive away a similar protest outside Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego have made me somewhat of a legend amongst the Freepers. A special treat on this Friday evening is...

WASHINGTON, DC 7/21/06-- This FReep at the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center started out calmly enough, very much like so many others since we, the DC Chapter of Free Republic, have have been coming there every Friday night since March, 2005 to counter anti-war agitators organized by Code Pink. Nothing seemed different except the wildly enthusiastic beeps of passing cars. In summertime's long daylight, with many car windows open, the enthusiasm of the drivers for our support-the-troops rally is much easier to express. Even two DC Metro police officers patrolling the area gave us the thumbs up as...

Once again, the peace activist, free speech advocating hags from Code Pink stole some of the D.C. Chapter's signs outside Walter Reed.Last week, we debuted Burma Shave style signs in an effort to inform the public that they should not be fooled into thinking the Code Pink demonstrators at Walter Reed love this country. The signs worked as drivers of cars who honked for our patriotic demonstration at the main gate were markedly less inclined to be fooled by the two American flags displayed by the Pinkos and also honk for them.The Burma Shave signs were having the same effect...

All was not rosy at Rep. John Murtha's award ceremony Thursday in Washington, D.C., where protestors gathered to protest his anti-troops, cut and run foreign policy statements. Murtha was there to receive the 2006 Edmund S. Muskie Distinguished Public Service Award from the Center for National Policy. Protestors carried signs that read, "Redeploy John Murtha," "John Cut-N-Run Murtha," "U.S. Soldiers National Treasure; John Murtha National Disgrace." Other signs mocked Murtha for his "We can't win" statements and "in cold blood" pre-trial judgment of eight fellow Marines. ...while Murtha received a warm welcome at the lunchtime event, a small group of...

Two of our gutsy members stood the line against the moonbataloonies today at the corner of Massachusetts Ave and Observatory Circle.We were running very very late, and after a few wrong turns and a missed pickup at Catholic University, we parked and got our signs out.My "Thank God for George Bush" sign brought a few hoorahs, and attaboys from some youngsters walking on the other side of the street, but that was short-lived.When we arrived at the corner, I announced that "Protest Warrior is in the house" and called out Princess, who was hiding behind a tree with his desecrated...

Honor Roll for today: W04man; Christopher Lincoln; Just A Nobody, Jimmy Valentine's brother; kristinn and a local retired Marine Corps officer.The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic gathered in the hazy July heat of downtown Washington today to freep Rep.

Muskie Distinguished Public Service Award at a noon luncheon.W04Man and a friend of his, a retired Marine Corps officer, were first to arrive, a little before 11 a.m. CNP president Tim...

Photos by [Mrs] Trooprally and Plea Deal. WASHINGTON, DC, July 14, 2006--We couldn't help but notice, as daylight stays later during the summer months, that many of the southbound cars passing the DC Chapter's support-the-troops rally every Friday night at Walter Reed not only honk their horns for us, they also see the Code Pink anti-war "vigil" down the street, assume they are with us and honk for them, too. From the other direction, most drivers passing the Pinkos first don't beep for them, but beep loudly for us -- drivers from every walk of life and of every ethnicity...

Today, out-of-town FReepers and Patriots accompanied members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic in paying respects to the victims of terrorism and in a heart-felt show of support to members of our great country’s Armed Services. We gathered at a small knoll overlooking the Pentagon, a place that has become a grass-roots shrine to all that is good about our country. I will not dwell on words, as they would not do justice to the emotions experienced by those that attended, by the tourists and locals who approached us with either words of encouragement or in seeking solace ...

FReep #64: Pinkos Show How They "Support" the Troops In FREEPERS: The ANTS at SHEEHAN'S "I'LL STARVE TOMORROW" PICNIC at the White House 7/03/06, the "AAR Champion Writer" Albion Wilde described the Sheenanigans of Code Pinko's Last Supper-and-mediawhore-fest. It appears that going without solid food for as much as *gasp!* 24 whole hours!?! put the leftists in a really bad mood. Sheehan already swiped the "Starving for Attention" slogan from the FReep banner, so perhaps Medea and Gael were looking for more ideas to steal and turn into commie propaganda when they strolled up the block and attempted to "reach...
