"Capitol Hill police officers remove a protester from the crowd during a joint hearing of the House Armed Services Committee and House Foreign Relations Committee featuring Gen. David Petraeus and US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker in Washington, DC. What was billed as the most electrifying day of testimony in Congress for many years lurched into farce Monday as Petraeus struggled to be heard and members of the anti-war group Code Pink were dragged kicking from the room."

Question: How did these people get into the room in the first place; dressed like that it would seem obvious that their intent was to at least attract attention, or divert it.

They crowns were in pocket books and put on in the chamber.

They were given tickets by Rat staffers.

Not just one but several were removed during the course of the hearing. I saw at least three. Funny thing is that the Pinkers were all scrunched together, wearing their pink whatever and typically some other ridiculous thing, like the guy in the very last row with some sort of bizarre crown on his head.

It as so predictable that they should have simply banned pink t-shirts from the hearing room.

You cannot do a lot of things at the Senate. You cannot talk. You cannot read to yourself. You cannot hold up a banner. Your manner of dress is restricted.

They have been planted there by the shadow government copperhead Democrats. The press needs to identify WHO has supplied them with their access tickets.

There should be fines and penalties imposed on the Rats that invited these freaks.

It must really suck to be a Democrat.

Must be some big pocketbooks to fit rain parkas, and T-shirts with protests written on them.

Besides, can’t the be removed when they are/were brought out? Also, I’d imagine (based on my airport experience) their baggage was screened (rifled through?).

My statement still stands. Their intent was to attract/divert attention.

They should have been dragged out by their hair, once they resisted ejection.

Rush was right. Liberalism was invented to allow homely people access to society.
