I never heard what they can charge her with. Does anyone know?

[danneskjold]

feel the hate...

[Puppage]

Ahhhh, the picture of tolerance.

[SpaceBar]

People did die: Ba'ath party members and the Taliban. With a little luck, they'll keep dyin'.

Disturbing the peace?

Trespassing?

[meandog]

...ZOT! This little troll was tossed, but how did she get there in the first place; makes me worried about SS security around our POTUS

[thoughtomator]

Free speech for me, thee gets shouted down, even in a private assembly.

Would the pink lady care to comment on the terrorists who shot little children in the back in Russia?

"This is the third day in a row that Code Pink has penetrated the convention,'' she said. "My question to President Bush is, if he can't secure his own convention, how can they bring security to their own nation?"

Well I think these people are wrong and maybe dangerous. Her question is actually somewhat reasonable.

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, told The Chronicle later that she was elated with Brashares' success in getting a national platform, even for a few seconds.

"This is the third day in a row that Code Pink has penetrated the convention,'' she said. "My question to President Bush is, if he can't secure his own convention, how can they bring security to their own nation?''

'Cuz we're not allowed to kill you like we kill the terrorists.

Kerry Lied Veterans Died!, I love how libs make up their snappy one liners to yell around, but yet can never back up their statements.

[HawaiianGecko]

being a disrespectful moron?

[kjam22]

These people are just me generation people who are throwing a temper tantrum because they can't have everything their way. They haven't accepted the way the constitution works. And they don't realize that they won't win over swing voters with their chosen method of trying.

[Puppage]

Well, sure. There's that, too.

[HawaiianGecko]

Hear - Hear - Darn good point. We need an 'A' and a 'B' season on these vermin.

[eyespysomething]

Apparently they dressed nice and "borrowed" credentials from other delegates, who were implored not to loan/give them out.

But I think everyone was searched before entering MSG. Maybe they should have read all the signs/banners.

"Well I think these people are wrong and maybe dangerous. Her question is actually somewhat reasonable."

It's idiotic. Convention security revolved around keeping out weapons and explosives. Extending that to people with legitimate passes would have made for a very quiet four nights.
