John Byrnes has some thoughts on the new tactic that Code Pink has taken to improve their image. They're now denying that they were carrying signs in front of Walter Reed hospital saying "Maimed for a Lie," despite the fact that their spokesman went on TV last week to repeat and defend the attack.
The anti-war group Code Pink, slammed by conservatives and some wounded veterans for co-sponsoring recent protests in front of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., now suggests that the most inflammatory signs held up at the protests might have been the work of "infiltrators whose aim [was] to disrupt the vigil."

Among the most controversial signs held up at the protests was the one reading "Maimed for a Lie." But far from qualifying as an "infiltrator," Kevin McCarron, a spokesman for another anti-war group sponsoring the demonstrations, was photographed on June 17 holding the "Maimed for a Lie" sign himself.
Check out the picture up at Cybercast News Service of their spokesman holding up the sign.

Do they really think that we're that stupid?
