Code Pink Tries to Arrest 91-Year-Old Kissinger for ‘War Crimes,’ [snip]

A Senate hearing opened this morning with Code Pink protesters trying to arrest former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for “war crimes.”

The protesters, bearing signs reading “Kissinger War Criminal” and “Cambodia,” rushed up behind the 91-year-old diplomat at the witness table of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which was holding a hearing on global challenges and the U.S. national security strategy.

Also testifying were 94-year-old former Secretary of State George P. Shultz and 77-year-old former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he would call recess until Capitol Police removed Code Pink from the room.

“I’ve been a member of this committee for many years, and I have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place,” McCain said, which led to shout-backs from the protesters.

“You know, you’re going to have to shut up, or I’m going to have you arrested. If we can’t get the Capital Hill Police in here immediately… Get out of here, you low-life scum,” McCain added.

For once, I salute McCain.

Code Stink needs to crawl back under their rock. But they won’t; they’r part of the Red Guards destroying our culture, like they did in China.

Code Pink is obviously part of the Enemy Within.
But so, IMHO, is Kissinger.
I say..let them duke it out...

Someone had to have gotten these jerks into the building. Why are no reporters looking into that story? To me, that is a bigger story than what they actually did.

Well, it took 94y/o Schultz to stand up to them too.

Apparently Mrs. Schultz was injured in the scuffle; and Sec. Kissinger has a broken shoulder [not from the scuffle].

I am surprised that security allowed this outrage.

What was the first clue, other than they were dressed in “uniform” in pink?
How did that get missed?

It’s usually Dem legislators who want to cause trouble that give their security passes to Code Pink so that they can get into these types of meetings and wreak havoc.

Its only the pro-life, conservative protesters that are stopped.

Seems a bit like Kabuki Theater.

So why won’t they protest Obama’s drone attacks?

Secretary Schultz has honor, courage and a brain. That he stood up to would-be thugs of the Code Pink variety does not surprise me.

I am less trusting of the judgment and character of certain Senators.

Maybe the new Republican majority will investigate & then call out the Dems who allowed these disrupters in.

Maybe pigs will fly.....

I am sure that is how they get in. The actions of the Rats who give the Pinkos passes should be exposed.

Dr. K cut deals with Communists in Moscow, Beijing and most importantly he laid the framework for Vietnam and Cambodia’s Communists, not to mention the Laotian ones to win control of SE Asia.

This year we remember the 40th Anniversary of the Vietnam and Cambodian communist victories....and lets not forget the “Killing Fields”.

The Leftists also agitated for these ends and Dr. K cut deals to respond to their agitation and protest that achieved the ends of the Leftists at a slower rate of speed.

There have been more coalition deaths under Obama than Bush and yet I don’t see these vermin at white hut events. Code Pink?

Spit.

Why would Kissinger be testifying at a Senate Hearing?

Talk about wasting time and money.

Code Pink and George Soros are Siamese twins.

The should try to arrest Obama and/or Hilary.

Drone strikes on weddings and funerals should be good for ammunition.
