Pink Is The New Congress
October 24, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Political rhetoric got a bit hotter today.
Dana Perino was asked this question during today’s White House press briefing:
Dana, this morning Secretary Rice testified in front of the House Foreign Relations Committee and said that errors were made in the case of Maher Arar — the rendition of Arar to Syria, where he was tortured, and that changes have to be made. Is the White House aware of this? And if so, what sort of changes is the administration thinking of in cases of rendition?
Perino’s response (and we’ve added emphasis):
I’m not — I didn’t have a chance to see her testimony because I was in the Cabinet Room, so we’ll have to get back to you. And I would also note — I saw a picture from that hearing where a lady in Code Pink with red painted on her hands disrupted the hearing. And I think it’s despicable. And unfortunately, it seems that increasingly Congress is being run by Code Pink. We do thank Chairman Lantos for trying to restore order to that hearing.
Congress is being run by Code Pink? We’re curious to see how that comment goes over with other folks who run Congress.

Yeah, speaking of torture Dana, while them dykes from Code Pink are a scream and seem to be able to roam the halls & haring rooms of Das Kapital at will, one can only imagine Tom Lantos’ or any other pro-abort congressperson’s reaction were a pro-lifer to try to display THIS at one of their Politburo meetings:

Just proves one of Rush’s 35 ‘Undeniable Truths’:

the mainstream of society.

Good for her! I hope we see more of this from the Republicans, instead of rolling over.

We are all blessed that she is still alive (Condi.) Oriely is right; it is just a matter of time before one of these activists takes a life. I really can’t see why we allow them into the buildings to begin with — they have nothing to add to what they have previously stated.
If you go to Democratic Underground and read the worshipful comments concerning this “brave patriot’s” actions, you can quickly understand that someone reading these post is going to have the fantasy of being the person to solve all the problems caused by what they perceive to be an evil government. These people (code pink, etc.) have formed a religious vitriol around this subject, and just like David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and the Islamic Fascist that we are fighting, this type of fanatic behavior sometimes ends in death or murder.
I’m not willing to loose an elected official to these mobs. I call for the public to be banned from these hearings. We have C-Span and the media to keep us informed. We have phones and e-mail to keep them informed about our wishes. If you doubt what I say, take a look at the Jim Brady Press room.

I agree with Eric. These fruits are dangerous. I counterprotested the hippies outside our military base for 2 years (my husband is active duty and an OIF vet). They pushed us into oncoming traffice, actually took a swing at one of the Army wives…. they are extremely unbalanced and hostile. I protested Cindy Sheehan (5 of her supporters came out) and they were in my face as I stood there with my sign. Violent, whacky, unbalanced.

Like MoveOn.org, the Armenian whatsis, the CPUSA?
