How did "Save Walter Reed" protest get hijacked?
looks like is was well planned out before anyone showed up to make it a "code pink scum!" headline for Rush

5. I second that.
They are hateful fucking scum. Libs protest the president's policies, conservative scum like these attack the liberals for their mere existance.

2. Those pics actually contradict that nasty CSN article. I don't see
any flag draped caskets, or taunting signs.

FR claims only 14 anti war people showed up. That is hardly a massive family taunting protest.

3. !
The protesters were there because the Hospital got axed by the Pentagon. Closed. Shut down. These vets are going to get 'consolidated' into other hospitals hundreds of miles away. You would think even the Freepers would be upset about that!

The message sure looks like a plea to fund these veterans and not the war. The smiling Club Gitmo W-cap wearing couple brought their attack dog and their Code Pink posters.

I hope Olberman and Kos have seen this.

4. in bizarro world
"Save Walter Reed" and "Real Support = Better Benefits" means that Rush calls them wacked out Michael Moore/Code Pink lunatics.

In the real world "Maimed for Life" means that these veterans NEED this hospital, it is not an attack against the wounded vets!!!!!

Rush's on air outrage was about the Code Pink signs his own people brought there. A set up. Drudge, Freepers and Rush working as one.

I knew that the Parlock tactics would show up any day. Here it is. We'll be seeing a lot more of it.

6. Oh man...
you guys haven't heard anything yet...

I'm currently in a discussion with a right winger who is saying that Code Pink has been harrassing troops and their families while they are entering the hospital...

Where do they get this shit...do they make this stuff up as they go along...

The Freepers own pictures show that the people from Code Pink were talking about saving Walter Reed from being axed...I think they just showed how stupid they really are...

7. a correction
"Maimed for a Lie" seems to be what the poster said, still this means that these veterans NEED this hospital, NEED to have their benefit INCREASED not decreased, it is not an attack against the wounded vets!!!!!
