Code Pink...Walter Reed...Right Wing Spin...

Hope this isn't a dupe...

It seems now that the righties are saying that Code Pink is protesting the "troops" at Walter Reed medical center...and of course it's being promoted by...take one guess...

Faux News...

look at this shit...

I'm not buying that stuff you heard at the top of the show about the anti-war protest at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (search) being a vigil for the soldiers.

The vigil, anti-war protest, was organized by Code Pink (search), a rabidly anti-war, anti-Bush organization which feels no compunction about standing around outside the Walter Reed hospital with signs like "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist Here to Die for Halliburton."

This is not a vigil to support the men and women inside the hospital who are trying to figure out how to walk with new prosthetic limbs and in many cases are anxious to get back into the field with their comrades in their units deployed in the field in Iraq.

This is tantamount to spitting on soldiers when they returned home from Vietnam (search). It is the rough equivalent of calling soldiers baby killers. Code Pink has absolutely no shame in staging this protest. Protest in Crawford, Texas; protest at the White House; protest at Congress; protest in front of any organization which you think was part of the decision to go to war, but cut the injured soldiers some slack.

50 vets and family members held a spirited rally at the VA Hospital. They chanted, "Mr. President, we support the troops, why don't you!" and "Keep the VA Hospital open."

Cody Camacho of Iraq Veterans Against the War spoke about how he lost his family because his wife didn't know the Cody who came back from Iraq. Our troops need more, not fewer hospitals.

I am heading to the airport now to cover Cindy's return

2. No-one in the Vietnam era Anti-War movement .........

ever, ever, ever, spit on a soldier. I will never, never, never believe that line of shit. How is asking for a war to end, bringing home the troops in anyway disrespectful of them?? It is the Bushco Asshole Bastards that Spit on them everyday, and their mothers. Hey Pat, how about a little prayer to take out Drudge.....he is a little Fascist Dictator, why not??

They are reaching for straws...
