DEMS GAVE CODE PINK DISRUPTERS TICKETS (Michelle Malkin Picks Up the Story)

The San Francisco Chronicle reported today:

The most effective -- and disruptive -- protest may have come from the anti-war group Code Pink, which obtained 16 tickets to the inauguration from their members of Congress. Eight female activists, including Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin of San Francisco, obtained seats in the VIP section.

They took their cue during Bush's speech -- when he spoke about the rights of people living under dictatorships to "free dissent" -- and unfurled banners reading "No War" and "Bush Mandate: Bring the Troops Home." Police confiscated the banners but did not remove the women.

A few moments later, the women stood up again, but this time they shouted, "Champagne is flying while soldiers are dying" and "Out of Iraq now." The pro- Bush crowd began chanting, and Bush momentarily paused. Police pulled the women off their chairs and escorted them out of area.

Two of the women were still being held late Thursday -- Benjamin and Diane Wilson of Texas -- but the others were released after the speech was over.

Wonder which members of Congress supplied the tickets? Jim Angle of FOX News reports that it was congressional Democrats from New York and California. Shame on them. If they wanted to disrupt the president's speech, the Democrats should have had the guts to do the dirty work themselves instead of hiding behind Code Pink's skirts.

Cowards.

They are all cowards. If they had guts, they would get their butts over there and see where the real heroes are.

Read this with ABC's effort (exposed here on FR) to seek out a funeral that was going to happen on the same day as the inaguration.

It was the democrats helping democrats.

[hoosiermama]

Names of their congressmen should be published...San Francisco is represented by whom?

Something about all politics being local suggests itself.

It's called "running interference" in the sporting world.

From all indications, Code Pink is the Democrats now.

Medea Benjamin a couple of weeks ago, went to Syria and gave $600,000 worth of medical supples to "the other side" in Faluja. TREASON! I'm sure the supplies have been sold for explosives by now.

So why isn't she on some sort of watch list? How could she even get into the event?

Keep her in jail.

I wondered how they were able to get so close to the President! Those CA & NY Dems are a disgrace!

Those Dems who gave the tickets to the Code Pinko Wackos should reprimanded!

They aided the creation of a disturbance in hopes of embarrassing the President! It's an insult to all Americans at a solemn ceremony that is part of our historical tradition.

And it was a nasty Dirty Trick!

[Cicero]

People have mentioned hillary and Schumer, but I doubt it. Hillary wants to keep her nose clean for her presidential run and Schumer wants more pork for New York. More likely some idiot with a safe seat in the house.

[Senator Pardek]

Dammit - one of them is named Benjamin!

Cowards.

I want those names.
