Shot In The Dark: Under New Management

January 23, 2006

Under New Management

"Code Pink" is an organization with extensive Twin Cities ties. They are also a group that has pioneered bringing invincible ignorance to bear in support of left-wing causes - I encountered them during the passage of the Minnesota Personal Protection Act, in an exchange that wasn't a whole lot dumber than any I've seen with them in the media.

Apparently they're no better with paperwork than they are with facts or research.

The Pinks had gotten a corner opposite Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the better to hound wounded veterans from. But they forgot to renew the permit.

The good guys at Protest Warrior were waiting with an application of their own:

I arrived shortly before 7pm, and as I drove up, I saw quite a few people on what are normally the Pinko's two corners. Odd, I thought, as they usually didn't arrive in numbers until 7:30 or 8. After I parked and walked to one of our corners, I noticed to my great surprise that those were our people across the street....Something's up, I thought. Those are mostly our prople, with one or two Pinkos mixed in. What's going on? Usually we stay on our side of the street and they on theirs.

I asked one of our members standing nearby and that's when I learned that one of our number, "Concrete Bob" [who would seem to be to the DC Protest Warriors what "Inge" is to the Twin Cities' doughty band], had secured permits this week for the Pinkos two corners. They had been laggard in renewing their permits and Bob seized the opportunity.

Yes!

As you might imagine, as soon as the light changed I went over to our "new" corner to join my compatriots and see what was up. I knew that the Pinko leaders would arrive shortly and wanted to make sure we had adeqate numbers in place.

"Redhunter" also has a photo series which is simply priceless.

Today, the corner is free of the waxy pink buildup that had polluted it.

Good riddance.

And a fine idea. Hmmmm. Need to check in on the corner of Snelling and Summit...

UPDATE: Now with link to Redhunter's story! :-~

Mitch,

I'd love to see those pictures. Did I miss a link?

Not really on topic but I wanted to put this out before I forgot: I just heard there's a serious chance the Winchester brand will fold, and that rifles with the New Haven stamp are likely to double in price from ~ $800 to ~ $1,600. If anyone's into this, they might want to check around and see if they can pick one up before the price goes up.

Oh, wait. I'm a liberal. I'm not supposed to know about this s---.

ProtestWarriors and FReepers have been at these guys for months every Friday night at Walter Reed. This was a sweet victory indeed.

Look out, Summit and Snelling. Enge's turning his loudspeaker up to 11....

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
