Anti-War Protests Target Wounded at Army Hospital

Washington (CNSNews.com) - The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the current home of hundreds of wounded veterans from the war in Iraq, has been the target of weekly anti-war demonstrations since March. The protesters hold signs that read "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton."

The anti-war demonstrators, who obtain their protest permits from the Washington, D.C., police department, position themselves directly in front of the main entrance to the Army Medical Center, which is located in northwest D.C., about five miles from the White House. See Video

This is a huge PR own goal. These people are the Robertson of the left. Hospitals, even Army hospitals, are not an appropriate place to turn into a political battlefield.

The right has been waiting for a "anti-war protestors spit on vets" story and this might be it.
