Dodd allows Code Pinker to protest Israel in Iran sanctions hearing
C-SPAN ^ | October 6, 2009

Posted on 10/06/2009 10:24:51 PM PDT by vamoose

During a Senate Banking hearing on "Minimizing Potential Threats From Iran" a code pink activist held a neon pink sign the size of a sheet of legal paper that read "DISARM ISRAEL". The person, clad in pink, arrived in the middle of the hearing (1:06:52 on the C-SPAN video) and sat behind James Steinberg, Deputy Secretary of State, for over an hour. Committee chairman Chris Dodd allowed this this silent protest.

KEYWORDS: codepink; dodd; iran; israel
Apparently it is okay with Senator Dodd and the committe to allow such protests. Perhaps Connecticut's independent senator, Joe Lieberman, may feel differently.

If those Code Pink idiots love Iran so much, perhaps they should move there. I’ll even pay for their one way ticket there

Why are protest groups even allowed in?

Is that a Jewish man speaking while that slag holds up that sign? Nice. She might as well hold up a sign that reads “Reopen Auschwitz”. What a c*nt.

One drawback to freedom and democracy.

“One drawback to freedom and democracy.”

Not sure this is a drawback?

As long as they don’t verbally disrupt, they can spend all day in there with their stupid little signs.

He wanted to know why this is allowed to happen. It’s because this country so far is blessed with freedom and democracy and rights.

“....He wanted to know why this is allowed to happen. It’s because this country so far is blessed with freedom and democracy and rights....”

BS! It is because this country is cursed with corrupt elected officials who will prostitute themselves to any cause for a campaign donation and a few vote.

Just try to get a contrary opinion well placed for the cameras like this woman. Just try to have someone hold up a sign saying, “Support Israel”.

Don’t you wonder why ALL these sort of protests are in support of democrats and the left?

Agreed, but I wonder, could you hold up a sign that
reads, “Obama lies?” Just wondering what would have happened.
