There were wounded soldiers who went on the record and other witnesses. You can pretend they did not exist, that is typical of a liberal – pretending. It is people like you who made me leave the democrat party. Unless you can get the soldiers who made the claims recant, you have nothing but a non-witness. You need to do a lot more than find someone who was there when the protestors were not there – or did that possibility never occur to you in your rush to not believe people who fought and sacrificed for this country?

You see my point?

Blinders, just like horses wear! You only see what you want to see…

Near as I can tell, you really only have ONE source, CNS. Everything else builds on it, with lots of innuendo, claims that no one else seems to have seen. Got a local base paper that says they “taunted” the soldiers? Any other source than CNS? I mean, the SacBee quotes one of those soldiers, he didn’t see anything that resembled “taunting”, and certainly didn’t see anything as outrageous as you describe.

By the way, the S&S source should be http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=27210&archive=true up above. My error, sorry.

You point to a story that does not report about the coffins and the signs, which were reported elsewhere many times, and therefore you assume they do not exists?

LOL! We call those ‘blinders’ you are sporting there.

Here the S&S says “Steeling against rain and cold night air, clutching candles and placards, a group of activists are standing nightly vigils at the entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, protesting what they believe is the Pentagon’s attempt to hide the human toll of the war in Iraq….Kevin McCarron, a former Marine intelligence specialist and a veteran of the 1991 Gulf War, said he thinks the late-night admittances are a dishonor to the troops.
“They should be feted as they arrive, honored as heroes, not slipped through the back door like this,” he said.”

“…should be feted…honored as heroes…”

Don’t sound like they’re “taunting” the soldiers to me…

And another take,

Where they note “…They’ve called for better health care benefits for soldiers wounded in Iraq, protested an early policy of making some soldiers buy their own meals while in care, and accused the military of purposely flying injured troops in under cover of night to downplay the volume of casualties. And they’ve waved signs protesting the war and the Bush administration.
Organizers say they weren’t getting much media attention …Until last week, that is. That’s when an online news service with politically conservative ties released a special report suggesting the vigils were actually protests aimed at wounded soldiers – an accusation that infuriated vigil organizers, many of them family members of troops serving in Iraq and some of them veterans themselves.”

And how about a soldier recovering in WR, what does he think of CodePink? “At the same time, he said he didn’t get the sense the vigil participants were trying to shame him, or blame soldiers for the war.
“I really can’t object,” he said. “I fight for them to be able to say what they want to say.” ”

And the counter group is composed of mostly GOP activists, not people particularly concerned about our soldiers.

Take a look from outside the right-wing echo chamber, and its a very different story!

I would not go so far as to say recruiting. But when things turn ugly, there silence can be seen as ‘encouragment’. Before nuking Seattle I would hope to wake them up to this repulsive behavior so they can pull back from this brink. Give the good people a chance to assess their positions now that the taunting and beatings are breaking out. I would guess 90+% of the country would stand against such acts.

As we prepare for another round of Camp Cindy, Scott Ott composes the response Bush ought to give to her, while jp at Americans for Freedom compares the responses of two Presidents when faced with distraught loved ones…
