Code Pink on the Airwaves
By John
No, the troops aren't toys to play with. Nor are they propaganda pieces.
These are the same shrill womyn who feel that Walter Reed Army Medical Center is an appropriate venue for protesting. The type who turn their backs on soldiers, mock their accents, and manipulate them for their own selfish political desires.
So forgive me if I find their appeal to America's heartstrings a little...well manipulative. Code Pink is the PETA of the anti-war movement, a group who offers little political clout beyond a handful of melodramatic media stunts each year. Credibility. It counts.
Hotel Tango: Allah, who writes:
Utterly predictable after the first second or so. You can’t expect profundity in half a minute, but a little originality would be welcome; what you’re getting here instead is the thousandth iteration of a meme that’s been popular in anti-war thinking since toy soldiers were invented. Presumably it’s simply a commentary on Bush being cavalier about troop deaths, although with Mother Sheehan’s outfit you never know — they may mean to imply he’s actually getting his jollies from all the fighting.
Yah, and then there's that whole "volunteer" concept, something Code Pink has never been able to wrap their minds around. The four year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad is significant in ways outside of purely historical context, it marks the end of a soldier's initial four-year service commitment. Meaning, our current crop of fighting men either volunteered after OIF, or reenlisted to continue the mission.

I can't wait for that day when someone like this gets elected...
be careful what you wish for. It looks like several are lined up in 08'!
Don't you know - all those guys and gals who re-upped (or joined up) are stupid? Heck, John (I have 3 purple hearts) Kerry said so.
The truth is - the Code Pinker and the rest of the left really believe that

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
They're only Cold Pink on the inside, I'm afraid.

I dont know why you give these pinko's a second of coverage. I would like to see them go to a devote moslim country like Pakistan etc and see how long it takes for them to get their heads cut off! Now that would be fun to watch on Youtube!
