"Code Pink never goes after Republicans" except Rumsfeld at the Correspondents' Dinner!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDmRdfyAUio

This is a video that shows Medea and Desiree entering the hotel dressed very conventionally. It cuts away to Rumsfeld entering. Desiree confronts him first, calling him a war criminal. Then Medea follows up in the same way.

May he be greeted in the very same way wherever he goes. You go, my Code Pink sistahs!

:woohoo:

11. Just rewatched that...
I've always thought that they've taken potentially good topics and flown off the fucking handle with it.

They are the epitome of liberal stereotypes. And not the good ones.

15. I notice no one is talking about the things you have done for the country..
They have achieved their goal of publicity for their cause.. They do it in the most showy fashion possible to get attention. What have you done?

16. Them doing that arrest attempt on Rove was classic
They're angry people trying to draw attention to their cause. I applaud them for doing things I haven't done. People have heard of Code Pink, no one has heard of me.

19. Yes, they should definitely just stay home and
blog their fingers off -- like all the other keyboard warriors. That has proved to be so much more effective.

8. In most cases
Code Pink WAY over the top and do nothing to help their own causes. They just look like a bunch of chanting idiots...

12. Otto: Oh, you English are *so* superior, aren't you?
Well, would you like to know what you'd be without us, the good ol' U.S. of A. to protect you? I'll tell you. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that's what! So don't call me stupid, lady. Just thank me.

Otherwise -- STFU

22. +1 completely agree. I'm tired of armchair blowhards.
code pink is speaking truth to power, sometimes directly in their face.

14. Recommended for these patriots. They walk the walk of freedom.
Most of the rest of America is way too subservient.

21. Well Done
Thanks Code Pink for all you do to expose the war criminals. What you do takes a lot of guts and determination. I wonder why I haven't seen this on the national news or in my local paper.

24. The Women Suffragette's were also attacked for their activism
I see the protester's against Code Pink, always fail to respond when asked about their individual activities regarding support for a cause.

26. At least the old standby of calling them all a "bunch of dykes" or, at least, "masculine"...
isn't so popular anymore. I'm sure it's still said in the right(wing) company, but it wasn't so long ago when that kind of shit made it into the papers whenever a public figure uttered one of the right-wing code words used to denigrate any woman who didn't want to stay in the kitchen all barefoot and preggers with her mouth firmly shut and submitting to her man.

It's been slow progress, but just think of how much stress it causes for people like Gingrich, Hastert, Falwell (OK, caused), Robertson, et. al, to know that they can't just blurt out what they're really thinking, re: women, anymore? If that's not a win, I don't know what is.
