Code Pink gets booted protesting wounded soldiers
Posted by Moonage on 23 Jan 2006 | Tagged as: National Politics
An activist group called Code Pink has staged one of the most tasteless anti-war campaigns. One they are proud of is staging anti-war protests outside Walter Reed Hospital. Now, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center is specifically for the purpose of treating those wounded in action. At this time, it obviously has a lot of soldiers wounded fighting in Iraq. What makes these women think THESE people would be receptive to their protests? I’m sure the soldiers feel bad enough being stuck in a hospital, I can’t imagine how they would feel about these people telling them that the reason they are stuck in that hospital was wrong and unethical. This has been bugging me for some time. This is just a purely tasteless and unfeeling self-gratification effort on the behalf of Code Pink.
But, I just found out that this tasteless display is apparently no more. The big dummies at Code Pink apparently forgot to renew their license. A group called Protest Warrior were coincidentally more than ready to snap it up when it expired. I can see a conspiracy theory here. However, it was an act of good taste. Apparently the people at city hall were more than ready to see Code Pink go as well.
It just amazes me how ugly the anti-Bush/anti-whatever people think they can be and how wrong they are assuming that. People do notice what they are doing, and it hurts their cause every time.

Have you been to Protest Warrior’s website at http://www.protestwarrior.com? It’s not only a hilarious parody of the protestors themselves, it shows protesters like Code Pink to be the ridiculously unthoughtful people that they are. My especially favorite pages are of the protests which were organized by International ANSWER in San Francisco that reveal reams and reams of communist literature. These were some of the first protests that Protest Warrior attended. Talk about being outnumbered!

Thanks for the link. I had actually visited there a while back ( the altered San Francisco anti-war rally pic thing ). I knew it sounded familiar, but I linked the link Protest Warrior gives credit to ( Zombietime ). I used the link I used today because for some inexplicable reason it’s the one Michelle Malkin used ( she’s apparently a fan of FreeRepublic ). They are a fun site tho. Looks like their rallies are a little more enjoyable as well.
