As a Vietnam vet, you don't know how much I appreciate what you are doing. You are all Great Americans! God bless...

[gitmo]

I know some missionaries who go to Cuba several times a year. They always try to take vitamins and aspirins. They say a lot of the kids show protein-deprivation and vitamin deficiency diseases.

One of them told me he could be universally loved in Cuba if he could bring a shipment of toilet seats into the country. There are no longer any such luxuries to be found. Anywhere.

[Doctor Raoul]

Benjamin discusses how much better it is that Cuba sends doctors abroad, instead of bullets and bombs.

ANGOLA.

It's a word in an obscure African language that means "Medea is a liar, look at all the Cuban soldiers."

How obscure? You'll never see it in the NYT, even the crossword puzzle.

[Doctor Raoul]

Interesting exchange between kristinn and "The Murph".

The Murph: Bring them home now.

kristinn: Bring them home victorious.

The Murph: THAT'S not going to happen.

Any doubt who she sides with?

Ever notice the never ask the terrorits to stop killing people or try to hold them "accountable".

[Doctor Raoul]

Some time after Murphy left, Medea Benjamin came out of the hospital, went back to the other Pinkos, and then walked over to our group carrying the only American flag that the Pinkos had.

Nobody in Code Pink smokes. She came over looking for a light.

[Doctor Raoul]

Notice that Medea speaks of peacekeepers from different countries, America soldiers are explicitly excludes US soldiers from those whom she considers "good ones".

Medea, they are too good for you and your ilk.

[Mr. Silverback]

Great job! Keep on whompin' 'em!

[Mr. Silverback]

I know i'm not telling you DC folks anything you don't already know, but in my personal experience it's a common thing for these peaceniks to try to be buddy-buddy with the counter-protesters. Deep down even the most jaded and hateful manipulators among them believe that they can change anyone's mind because it's all about dialogue, and they're obviously right.

The problem is, then we gently drop the reality anvil on them, and it ruins their whole day...

[Mr. Silverback]

Holly Buckets

One of Hyacinth Bucket's sisters?

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you so much for going.

[Mr. Silverback]

There are no longer any such luxuries to be found. Anywhere.

Oh, I'm sure they've got them in the places they take the fellow traveller/useful idiot tour groups...

[BillF]

You get healed up. Then, we will look forward to FReeping with you.

[BillF]

It will be good to FReep with you again. Looking forward to it.

[BillF]

We don't use a megaphone or do any chanting because it's a hospital zone.

Some cars honk to indicate support for our signs. Others honk to indicate support for the Pinkos. Our side doesn't encourage honking, but I don't know if some of their signs encourage honking.

Hope that your ankle heals quickly.

[Trteamer]

You guys get to have all the fun!

Thanks for FReeping.

BTTT

[Taxman]

So am I!

[nina0113]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to make any of these but I am just totally slammed until July. Somehow my small little family Fourth of July party has turned into a Cecil B. DeMille production, which means every home improvement project I have left unfinished in the last eight years has to be completed by July 2nd. I'm thinking of switching my direct deposit to Lowe's, and they ought to be painting our names on their car any day now.

[TaxRelief]

Medea says "I like you guys. I love your Mother of All Banners."

Guess she wants y'all to know she reads our threads.
