Code Pink's Latest Tactic: Child Abuse
By John
Hey so this is pretty fucked up:
Dressed as ‘zombie soldiers’ killed in combat, ‘ghosts of war victims,’ witches and healthcare fairies, members of Code Pink menacingly paraded in front of a captive audience of children one block from the White House, who waited along the sidewalk in front of Decatur House just off Lafayette Park for a Halloween party hosted by President Obama.Last Saturday, the President hosted several hundred military families for trick or treating. Also invited were children of White House staff and about 2000 children from eleven D.C. area elementary schools.
In a press release published at their website, key Obama ally Code Pink – a group co-founded by one of Obama’s top funders Jodie Evans, announced they were targeting military families for what can only be called psychological abuse by conducting a macabre protest of the war in Afghanistan as the families waited in line to enter the White House grounds.
The crazy-cat ladies of war protesting have done so much weird shit over the years, they're really nothing more than a freak show stage act. Since President Bush left office and Iraq has been largely pacified, they've grown increasingly irrelevant -- which makes them do increasingly silly stuff to grab the occasional headline. I would say keep on ignoring them, if I didn't think their desperation for attention would eventually drive those idiots to start protesting soldiers' military funerals a la the Westboro Baptist Church. So I'll keep paying attention, if for no other reason than to point, laugh, and thank God that war protesting is a self-defeating business.

Nothing a good dose of CS and a wood shampoo couldn't fix.

Yes I admit looking for resistance in the military to the worst aspect of big government,
foreign adventurism, is like looking at a mirage. From a distance every once in a while you think that you catch a glimpse of it but as you get closer it always disappears and moves off in to the distance. I can't surrender though. The men at Valley Forge did not surrender even though they had no shoes. Then men a Valley Forge did not surrender even though there were many Tories who would have welcomed their return to being subjects of the empire. The men at Valley Forge did not surrender even though they were fighting the best trained army of their day. Compared to the men at Valley Forge I am a complete wimp. So little is asked of me. The least that I can do is to keep on protesting. Ok I do a little more than that but what exactly I will leave up to your fertile imagination.
Anyways risking even one pubic hair for an unjust cause is not very bright. Yet we all think that we are taking risks for a just cause, don't we? Not just me, not just you, but the Iraqi and the Afghan resistance too.
We let others frighten us with tales of boogeymen. That is true. But let me proclaim to you. It is the followers of Thomas Paine who make the best brew. Let me give you this clue the Booodists love him as should you.
