BWAAHAHAHAHA
Don't know if you watched the Mullen hearing this morning, but a pretty sharp person was sitting behind him. She/he kept rotating the signs all thru the hearing. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

10. Even better, someone was obviously watching CSPAN live..
So she could place the sign at just the right place in the camera frame. :)

32. Some serious communication going on to get that card placed just right....
and NOT get called out for protesting. They had to get those cards in there too, which my guess isn't very easy to do.

35. Maybe




...she brought in blank paper and a marker, and made them while she sat there waiting before it started.


That's what I did at a gathering when I heard a rumor that protest signs would not be allowed past the gate. Worked like a charm!

37. Sometimes I think I'm smart, until I hear a simple solution like that!!
And ask myself "Duh, why didn't I think of that?"

Good idea!

38. You ARE smart! You're a Dem, after all.




Me, I'm not as smart as I am stubborn and devious.

that the Admiral had her planted there. He doesn't stike me as a bush lackey.

7. Someday when people look back on all of this, Code Pink will be the reason fuc*co's official
line of bullshit won't be the standard accepted history in children's textbooks/learning-screens.

Kudos Code Pink

Kudos

9. It's nice to see praise for Code Pink here
They are working hard in DC on limited resources to get the message out.

I watched it on the news. It was brilliant.

24. You gotta be kidding me......
Why not talk on the cell phone and duck into the shot to wave to the people at home like at Yankee Stadium or Fenway?

19. idiotic
and self-serving.

Distracting from these important things is like a little kid yelling "MOM! MOM! LOOK AT ME!"

When Valerie Plame was testifying, the attention was all on the mugging drag-queen behind her. It was shameful.

22. I have to agree
Beyond what is being said, we'd all be pissed and want the person tossed if there was a "McCain/Lieberman '08" sign back there, or a "Support Bush" sign. I don't know when congressional hearings became a sporting event where people can show up with signs. I'd like to think that these type of hearings raise the discussion level above catchphrases.

25. Perhaps when Mullen watches the tape, he will get the message.
But maybe not. These people have shown their contempt for what the country wants.

26. "Confession of a Code Pink Groupie"
Little bit embarrassed to admit that I got Medea Benjamin's autograph on a Code Pink bumper sticker at the Media Reform conference in St. Louis 2 years ago. I kinda slunk up to the podium where she was waiting to talk, and she was most gracious to sign it. Then like an embarrassed groupie, I slunk back to my seat. But, am sure proud of that bumper sticker, and have it right here on my bulletin board by my puter next to 2 other stickers which say, "Not Our President" and "Keep Abortion Legal." Every time my bug-spray guy comes to spray, he shoots furtive looks at my bulletin board and gives me horrified looks. lol

29. anyone know if...
the code pink group are the same ones who were at the Gonzo hearings yelling "Resign" and "respect the Constitution"?

BTW, I don't have any problem with someone sitting in the frame with a silent protest. It isn't as if the signs said "Don't Listen to this Guy" or something disrespectful.

34. Very cool. Code Pink puts demands on power and that's the only way
power ever gets the message.
