Condoleezza Rice Attacked At Capitol Hill Hearing Oct 24, 2007

An anti-war demonstrator accosted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she arrived to testify at a hearing on Capitol Hill, shouting "war criminal" before being dragged away by security.

Members of the Capitol Police department also removed several members of the anti-war group "Code Pink" from the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing room, who struggled as they left.

The hearing began on schedule and Rice's testimony did not appear to be affected by the incident.

Someone should've had those freaks shouting "Don't tase me, bro!"

Was the second howling leftist banshee that Medea Benjamin weirdo?

Hey, she grew up black in the segregated South. It will take more than shouted epithets or showing her fake-blood smeared hands to spook Dr.Rice.

I'm not pleased that I personally know people who behave in this manner.

To understand them, you have to first comprehend that they believe that 9/11 was a U.S. government plot. After you start from that point, their mania makes more sense.

Code Pink should be ‘Pink Mist’ IMHO.

Yeah, you’re right. The thing we have to do is.... well heck, there’s not much point in educating these morons.

"That was the blood of future victims on her hands . . . "

You may be on to something. I am very worried. The fact that Desiree Fairooz was able to get so close to Condoleezza Rice has sent the message to those who would do ill to this country that an assassination is achievable by them.

Who keeps letting these moonbats in? They have to know all of them.
The second one being dragged out at the end is Suzie (”Medea’s” real name).

Are you describing the woman with the pink head piece shaped like a crown? Including Desiree Fairooz, there was five of them. You would think that somebody would know that something was up when these women showed up at the hearings wearing pink shirts with large words saying "NO $ FOR WAR," "TROOPS HOME NOW" and "BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS." You would think the alarm would sound when they walked in with protest signs in their arms saying "BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS".

I would have terminated the entire security force on duty at that Armed Services Committee hearing. This kind of mistake cannot happen even once.

“Hey, she grew up black in the segregated South. It will take more than shouted epithets or showing her fake-blood smeared hands to spook Dr.Rice.”

“spook”?

Maybe, I’ve got to admit though that these sorts of things really get under my skin.

I came up in a time that Woman were treated with respect and it buggers me greatly to see Dr. Rice treated poorly.

She is a capable of handling things for herself, but I cannot deny that this angers me, especially the contrived nature of the confrontation...

The Dhimmis on the Committe will say

“Shocked, shocked we be, Code Pink in our chambers..”

Like a Pinky Reid flip flop in .03 seconds, their venial nature is an affront.

Enough with slapping the wrists of these uncivilized beasts. It’s time to start throwing the book at them, and putting them in jail for two or three years, per offense.

The Dhimmicrats keep letting them in. There is no way that they could get through security and into spectator areas and the hallways outside committee rooms without Congressional "leadership" orders.

Code Pinko seems to have become a branch office of the DNC.

I want to know what member of Congress gave these people tickets for the hearing?

Until security is improved markly, no member of the administration should appear at any hearing.
