Awesome!

Medea and Desiree confront Rumsfeld as soon as he walks in the Hilton for the dinner on Sat, May 9.

"WAR CRIMINAL!"

1. Brave Americans..

Thank you to all those strong enough and brave enough to speak out against torture and stand up for the Constitution and for America.

[Poll_Blind]

2. I always found it funny how much shit Code Pink takes from DU threads.

Ya, it does take someone strong and brave to get right up there and remind everyone that man in the tux is responsible for mass murder & torture.

3. I wonder where are all the DUers who claim CP never goes after Republicans

:eyes:

22. good catch

Code Pink isn't about party though. It's about what's right and what's wrong. That transcends any party any one politician and any nation.

[shadowknows69]

21. Screw that. If a million more of us had the guts Code Pink does.

The wars would have been over and we'd have carried Bush et al. on our shoulders to The Hague (ok, so the swim would have been rough). They prove the fact that you have to literally be willing to throw your bodies on the gears of the machine for the truth to be seen by intentionally blinded eyes.

25. That is so true

[kas125]

29. Thank you. Personally, I don't find it the least bit funny, but

that's because for me the insults are personal. I try very hard not to let them get to me, but this place can seem very unfriendly to a CodePinker sometimes.

4. Good for them!!!

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

5. K&R! A must see video...

Bravo, Ladies.

[peacetalksforall]

6. I hope he was uncomfortable. This was the first time I've seen him not arrogant. And there were

no laughing hyena 'so-called journalists' hugging him and laughing at his horrible jokes.

Think about it - George, Dick, Don - the worst story tellers in the world and the worst liars and mass murderers. Phosphorus, no less. Burrowing bombs. Torture. endless rendition. Theft - grand, grand theft. In defiance of humanity.

Bravo to Medea and her team.

[kas125]

7. Thanks for posting it here. I'm gonna be seeing Medea

this weekend and I can't wait to tell her what a great action I think that was. People need to greet the war criminals like that wherever they go for the rest of their lives or until they are in prison!

[Maat]

8. Tell her that we all appreciate her confrontation of this war criminal.

:toast:

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Tell them hello from me and THANK YOU

I am so proud of those ladies. :bounce:

[kas125]

24. I definitely will do so. This weekend is the Green Festival

and my chapter and CP Chicago host the CodePink booth every year. I know Medea and Rae are coming, but I'm not sure who else will be there. It's always a great time, especially after the festival closes for the night. Those women are CRAZY and so much fun!! I can't wait!

9. the best Rummy protest moment

i have ever seen

[Iwillnevergiveup]

10. WOW - that first lady is tall

and completely towered over Rummie, too. She could take him. Mrs. R. was pretty shaken up I'm sure.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

11. Guess that was Desiree? nt

[kas125]

13. Yep, that's Desiree Fairooz. She's really very sweet and

gentle. She used to be a teacher, now she's a full time peace activist and librarian.

[EFerrari]

12. That's one of the best things I've ever seen.

:cry:

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Isn't it though

LOL

[pam4water]

14. Rumsfeld looks a lot older. Did he stop dieing his hair or something.

[Enthusiast]

16. K&R! Brave Americans is right!

If we all put forth the effort of these few Rumsfeld would already be in prison.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

17. If Donald Rumsfeld isn't convicted of war crimes

this is the type of thing that should happen to him everywhere he goes for the rest of his life, make his existance miserable.

18. "Enjoy your evening"

Kept hearing that in the background. Thanks to these brave patriots I don't think his evening was that enjoyable.

[Wednesdays]

19. K&R

:kick:

[shadowknows69]

20. I love those women

[babylonsister]

26. Wow, and rec'd! I'm sure that shook him up. nt

[CTyankee]

28. His wife must've been a little shook up, too.

I know I would be if my husband was regarded as a war criminal. But then I'd probably not be married to him if he were...

[Crowman1979]

27. RIGHT ON!

:yourock: :woohoo: :applause:
