Anti-War Protests Target Wounded at Army Hospital

This has got to be the most despicable action that can ever be undertaken in a time of war!
The people that are involved in this need to have their heads examined.
I am ashamed to consider them Americans.
Protesting a war is fine. Protesting a war in front of the hospital where the majority of the wounded return to is inexcusable.
How dare any of them.
I bet they also say that they "support the troops" in their hatred for America.

I am appalled that anyone would consider this to be a legitimate action.

Here's a story that needs to keep going and needs to be shoved into the faces of the collective America bashing, troop hating left of this country.

Anti-War Protests Target Wounded at Army Hospital

Washington (CNSNews.com) - The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the current home of hundreds of wounded veterans from the war in Iraq, has been the target of weekly anti-war demonstrations since March. The protesters hold signs that read "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton."

The anti-war demonstrators, who obtain their protest permits from the Washington, D.C., police department, position themselves directly in front of the main entrance to the Army Medical Center, which is located in northwest D.C., about five miles from the White House.

Among the props used by the protesters are mock caskets, lined up on the sidewalk to represent the death toll in Iraq.

Code Pink Women for Peace, one of the groups backing anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford Texas, organizes the protests at Walter Reed as well.

Some conservative supporters of the war call the protests, which have been ignored by the establishment media, "shameless" and have taken to conducting counter-demonstrations at Walter Reed. "[The anti-war protesters] should not be demonstrating at a hospital. A hospital is not a suitable location for an anti-war demonstration," said Bill Floyd of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, who stood across the street from the anti-war demonstrators on Aug. 19.

"I believe they are tormenting our wounded soldiers and they should just leave them alone," Floyd added.

According to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, nearly 4,000 individuals involved in the Iraq war were treated at the facility as of March of this year, 1,050 of whom were wounded in battle.

More.

May the Pinko communist pigs rot in hell.

And, oh by the way, many people that support the President have worn the uniform, and many have served in combat. I am one of them.
