In case anybody was still wondering whose side John Conyers and John Murtha are on.

[veronica]

He's pinker than Code Pink.

A Clinton era Military Officer Chic who was forced out once the grown ups took over?

[L.N. Smithee]

For the life of me, I don't understand why nobody wants to call out the members of Congress that back the Pinkos. BTW, anyone notice Diane Watson was decked out in pink during the Plame hearings?

Radical Cyborgs, Radical Faerie Sisters of Nomenus, Radical Faeries, Radical Travel are all TRIBES of Code Pink. The tribes listings can be found on Tribe.net.

About Radical Faeries:

>>>A second wind of activism came in 1979 when Hay [Harry Hay/Stonewall Rebellion/NAMBLA] founded, with Don Kilhefner, a spiritual movement known as the Radical Faeries. This pagan-inspired group continues internationally based on the principle that the consciousness of gays differs from that of heterosexuals. Hay believed that this different way of seeing constituted the greatest contribution gays made to society, and was indeed the reason for their continued presence throughout history.<<<

From their website:

radicalfaeries.net

At the footer of their splash page in dark font on dark background:

"Radical Faeries: We are a network of satyrs, sissies, butch leather queens, ceremonial drag queens, queers, pansies, activists, revolutionaries, workers, artists, farmers, witches, pagans, sacred fools, rural and urban dwellers who see gays, lesbians and transgenders as a distinct and unique people, with our own culture, our own spirituality and our own path of Being."

Why was she arrested?

According to the story as reported (admittedly, by her own self), she obeyed normal Congressional protocol and exited the hearing upon the Chairman's admonition to do so, without the Chairman "gavelling" for her arrest. Exculpatory evidence for her case is provided by the fact that the Chairman's chief of staff spoke in her defense.

"Code Pink" or not -- if she obeyed Congressional protocol, why was she arrested?

Honest inquiry. I don't want to see either "Rightists" or "Leftists" arrested by the Capitol Police without cause.

Fixed it!

[Sam Hill]

Ping.

Check this out Mark! Maybe you can use it tonight on Hannity's show!

The normal Congressional protocol is that if a committee chair gavels once the visitor is removed from the hearing room. If the committee chair gavels twice the visitor is arrested.

Interesting info that I didn't know

As for Conyers bailing Pinky out ???

No surprise there

[Doctor Raoul]

Ann Wright has been arrested so many items that the she's now known as Col Clink...

[SandRat]

Conyers is a FREAKING COMMIE; pure and simple. When will the people of Michigan wake up and vote that scumbag out of office??????

[Verginius Rufus]

One of the leftwing cable stations the other day was lovingly dwelling on one of the Code Pink demonstrators who was in the background during the Plame hearing, wearing an "Impeach Bush" shirt. It was a "transsexual" (born male but surgically altered to appear female).

[popdonnelly]

I would have thought Conyers would pay them to show up.

WHO AM I? I am a 37 year old transgender social justice activist... actually, I am a "Folktivist", as in the fact that I am a "Folk Music Activist". I am running for congress in SW MISSOURI's August 8th Republican Primary.

This political system is such a huge joke that I thought I ought to put the exclamation point on it! I am tired of hearing everybody say "there's nothing we can do".

If your interests are not really being represented, then you have the choice of representing yourSelf.

I feel I am qualified to represent the people of Southwest Missouri becaue I represented myself in DC Supreior Court, along with my codefendents Pete Perry and Dave Barrows, after being arrested for the charge of "illegal demonstration" while protesting against the White House's involvement of torture in its so called "War on Terror".

The public has always had access to government archives; however, the internet has now made it much easier to represent yourSelf in that it allows us access to much information about law... from federal legislation to current state statutes, from municipal codes to election laws... You can be your own lawyer if you choose to educate yourSelf... and perhaps, individual citizens should be allowed to be our own representatives in the federal government... or at least at the state level and community levels. This is why it is very important that we in America have a great public discussion on the benefits of striving toward the ideal of "direct democracy".

I am especially worried about America's youth... my message to you is "Don't give up hope"

Don't let people tell you that you can't live your dreams, because you can do anything you put your heart mind and soul into!

So, now you have a choice besides voting for some rich white man that doesn't remember how it feels to be young.

If you feel like it, and you live in Southwest Missouri's 7th Congressional district, you can register to vote, ask for a Republican primary ballot on August 8th, and vote for the shemale peace activist that REALLY wants to make changes in the way our government works.

How will I make changes? With ideas from people like you! I want to listen to your ideas of how America can be a better place to live. So, please leave me comments and tell me what is on your mind.
