Leftist AntiWar activists protest Wounded Warriors run

Code Pink now the mirror image of Westboro Baptist Church?

From Eric Dondero:

Pro-Defense libertarian Congressman Allen West reported on a truly disgusting act over the weekend.

From his Facebook:

Just finished running Army Ten Miler...

and unofficial time was 1 hr 29 mins and change, great seeing many old friends and former bosses. However, what struck me as shameful was Code Pink being out on the run course protesting.

There were many Wounded Warriors doing the wheelchair race and running with their prosthetic devices. Perhaps Code Pink does not realize that those "Army Strong" men and women make it possible for them to stand on Independence Ave and demean their service, sacrifice, and commitment.......Land of the Free because we are the Home of the Brave!" Army Strong!

Really, is there now any difference at all between the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at funerals of deceased hero Army soldiers and Marines, and Code Pink protesting Wounded Warriors at benefit events?

Note - Some left-libertarian groups, such as AntiWar.com, have worked with Code Pink in the past. See 2010 LR article on AntiWar's Justin Raimondo and Code Pink opposing Rand Paul's candidacy for Senate.
