Code Pink just made ALL Obama supporters look bad. STUPID

[CTD]

Only a very few even know who they are. So middle America will think this was some radical Obama supporter disrupting McCain's speech.

All of the memes they are trying to make stick were just reinforced.

Just fucking stupid.

[NEDem]

1. Agreed

[JackBeck]

2. Nice try.

How about focusing on those holding "PEACE" signs making McCain and the entire Republican Party look bad...

[cali]

8. you certainly have a higher opinion of the undecided American voter than I do.

[JackBeck]

28. I have a very high opinion about most Americans. n/t

[billyoc]

3. They're not there to make you look good.

Why would they be?

[quiet.american]

4. I'm an Obama supporter and I approved their message. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

16. I aprove of their message...

just not the way they choose to express it.

[WinkyDink]

5. McCain makes McCain look bad.

[Awsi Dooger]

6. We're definitely better off without it

Let the guy speak. He's not that effective. I agree, it was stupid.

[RayOfHope]

7. Code Pink is their own entity. They don't work for the Obama campaign. n/t

[CTD]

12. I know that. You know that. Most here at DU know that.

I guarantee that 99% of independent and undecided voters do NOT know that.

[RayOfHope]

29. So they need to be quiet b/c people are dumbasses?

:eyes:. They prostested at the DNC too. Most dumb ass Americans will probably wonder first and foremost how they got in.

Hell, most dumb ass Americans probably aren't even watching the speech or know who the candidates are.

[CTD]

35. The MSM didn't report the protests at the DNC.

[Montauk6]

27. No, in fact, they're more likely to be backing McKinney!

That is, if that rally from the other night on C-Span was any indication but I could be wrong.

[Zenmaster]

9. Code Pink aren't Obama supporters and they protested at the DNC too

[annabanana]

10. find another avatar..the raised fist doesn't suit you. . . . n/t

[frylock]

65. snap!

[mvd]

11. If they can't keep the convention secure, how can they keep the country secure?

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

19. Touche!

:rofl:

13. Watch as FOX News will call Code Pink "Democratic supporters"

While ignoring that Code Pink's favorite target has really been Nancy Pelosi.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

21. Obama-Biden democrat supporters, like Failin's using

[bjnumb9]

14. The veteran with the sign got across a message

The Code Pink thing didn't get across a message, and just makes war protestors look silly.

The veteran with a sign... now that's doing it right. That guy is absolutely awesome.

[Kajsa]

34. I saw that!

It was awesome!

I clapped and yelled, 'Hell yeah!'
when I saw him.

:)

[bjnumb9]

47. all the respect in the world to that man

he definitely deserves to be cheered

[Whisp]

56. war protestors have never looked silly to me. nft

[bowens43]

15. Code Pink is one of the few anti-war orginizations in the country

to actually stand up when it counts. Not affiliated with our party BTW

[pocoloco]

76. Too bad the Dems don't have balls as big as Code Pink!!

[NoodleyAppendage]

17. What's fucking stupid are the worry monkies such as yourself trolling around to make sure we're meek

Screw that. I'm PROUD of Code Pink. They are just as brave and solid American as McIdiot and Nazi Palin.

It's HIGH TIME that Democrats started KICKING THE REPUKES IN THE BALLS. I'm ready to fight...you, apparently are ready to bootlick for another 4 years.

J

[chatnoir]

51. WORD. Kick them in the balls where it hurts.

We play too nice thinking anything else will make us look bad. We need to play for keeps, fuck the niceties.

[G_j]

78. you think those smug shits don't deserve their criminal war crashing thier party?

[Obamican23]

18. FUCK THAT NOIZE

GO CODE PINK! FUCK MCCAIN!

[global1]

20. Are They Really Code Pink Or Are They Rove Plants?......

How did they get in? How did the signs "McCain Votes Against Vets" and "You Can't Win An Occupation" get in the hall? I heard that they were confiscating signs at the door and issuing there own signs.

What if they are put there to cause a rukus and let McCain get off some what we'll think are good one liner retorts. All staged. All choreographed - just like the last 8 years of the Bush administration.

I don't trust these people.

[anigbrowl]

26. I wonder too. Be interesting to find out.

[DeadEyeDyck]

41. Man, you start thinking like that and you will be seeing

repugs under you bed. Where does that thinking stop? Did they kidnap BO and put a look-alike in his place for the debates? They just ain't that smart!! You give way too much credit.

[global1]

61. Now You Really Scared Me ......

How will I sleep tonight with the thought of Repugs under my bed.

[Sebastian Doyle]

75. Watch McCain's speech again

That should put you to sleep faster than anything the pharmaceutical companies produce.

[raventattoo]

58. Definitely staged, IMHO!

I was thinking about the speech late this afternoon driving home from work and I thought, "You know, I bet they plant a protester there." I've seen other "protesters" at his speeches and it always seems so staged to me. These people do not really fight or resist. While I am sure they have massive security in the audience, the security folks never seem surprised or like there is any concern. The people are taken away quickly and without fight and McShithead always has a convenient one-liner to go along with it.

Please people! It just looks very obvious to me.

BTW...can someone tell me how many posts I need before I can start my own post!?!?!?!?!?

[Moochy]

62. you don't know what the hell you are talking about

but welcome to du just the same :evilgrin:

[sniffa]

22. They just made a DUer/DUer's spouse lose an election

Thanks a lot, Code Pink. :eyes:

[Moochy]

66. Who dat?

[krkaufman]

23. Yep. Incredibly stupid. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Fuck you

[CTD]

31. I am not questioning their motives, just the wisdom of the tactic.

Of course I am against the war.

Fuck you too.

But this was still stupid. Really stupid.

[Moochy]

49. CLASSIC CONCERN FOR THE WIN!

NEW CONCERN SUX !!! CLASSIC ROX!!!

[Moochy]

50. dupe

[Moochy]

52. your concern made me press submit 3x

[Captain Hilts]

25. Agreed. I did like the veteran though. nt

[progressiveforever]

30. McCain only makes McCain look bad

Period

[RollWithIt]

32. Obama gave a speech in front of 80000 people.... no protests....

NOT ONE. Obama can't even give a speech at the RNC without multiple protests. So ya, you're stupid OP.

[mvd]

33. I'd rather we keep focusing on McSame's lame speech

The Code Pink protestors will be forgotten easy enough.

[Overseas]

36. I don't think so. JSM III was starting to lie about working for peace or something.

I think it was helpful. Johnny was launching into several paragraphs of lies around that point, so I'm glad her protest put people a bit on edge.

[G_j]

37. no, just you nt

[Moochy]

38. How about you shut THE @!#!% UP?

Amateur Armchair Political Strategist Pooh Pooh's Activists. News At 11.

[likesmountains 52]

39. Since when did Obama send out Code Pink protesters?

[Raine]

40. If they can't keep protesters out of their tightly controlled convention

how can they keep terrorists out of America??

[Raine]

42. Deleted...Duplicate nt

[DesertRat]

43. I applaud the protesters

:applause:

[Honeycombe8]

44. I agree. Disruptors generally reflect badly only on themselves. nt

[Kajsa]

45. The Vet with his sign

'McCain Votes Against Vets'

did it right- he was fantastic!

I was clapping and cheering the whole time
I saw him.

[Phoonzang]

46. Sean on FiveThirtyEight agrees

and so do I. All they're doing is making McCain look good. Low info undecided voters are going to think those were Obama plants now.

[Moochy]

57. Yes let's run in fear of what uneducated sheeple think!

Sounds like a winning strategy! Oh wait does OBAMA or DU CONTROL CODE PINK?
No?

Oh then why the fuck is everyone acting like they do?

[NotThisTime]

79. And how exactly is Obama supposed to stop Code Pink Protester's or plants for that matter??

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

48. The guy in the rafter was an RP supporter.

I would have to see a re-run to verify, but it sure looked like AK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Kokesh

Here is his speech at the Paul Convention

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmsJe1S0z8w


Impressive anti-war activist, but definitely in RP camp.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

59. Comments from someone on youtube think it was him.

"Br0k3nS41nt (5 minutes ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply I saw him at the republican convention while watching it on TV. He had a big sign saying "YOU CAN'T WIN AN OCCUPATION" and "MCCAIN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT VETS." Glad someone was there to spread the truth"

[roseBudd]

53. The outfits always look stupid, half the time it looks like drag queen ware

[LBJDemocrat]

63. Agreed. And the color pink? Why the hell? nt

[frylock]

54. blahblahblah..

take it to the handwringers forum.

[ProSense]

55. This post is idiotic bullshit. n/t

[Doremus]

64. Amen to that! n/t

[babythunder]

73. So wait

some of us think that all protesters should be quiet and meek? I applaud the gentlemen holding the sign up but I also respect the differing forms of Protests.

[stillcool]

60. concerned?

you should see what's going on outside. Well, maybe not. That might really get you 'concerned'.

[Zomby Woof]

67. Your noted

Has been concerned.

[Strawman]

68. I don't understand the strategic value of responding to the Repugs casting call

For "Angry Leftie #1 and #2."

I get the expressive merit, but don't see it being persuasive to many outside of the choir.

[thenam]

69. Props to Code Pink!

Did they show up at the DNC? Because the Dems share the blame for the war.

[geardaddy]

70. I'm wondering...

if it wasn't two faux Code Pinkers. He seemed awfully ready with that reply.

[nc4bo]

71. 1) have nothing to do with the Obama campaign and 2) they are practicing their right to free speech

got a problem with that?

Edit: spellcheck doesn't work in subj. lines.

[flamingdem]

72. Code Pink is the tip of the iceberg, imagine if all the people with a bone to pick showed

up at the RNC. That would include many millions of people with a grudge because of what has happened to their families or to themselves ... that is ultimately the fault of the pricks in the Republican Party.

They are lucky it was just smart women in pink dresses.

[Kolesar]

74. I have seen no coverage of counter RNC protests on TV or in the newspaper

so Code Pink will have to do.

They were the most exciting part of this "rally".

[flamingdem]

77. McCain should be grateful some excitement was generated by someone !
