Virginia Rodino, 29, a teacher from Washington DC, said that she had travelled from the US for the opportunity to protest. “My demand is for the G8 leaders to leave Scotland,” she said. “These are secret meetings, they are not even formalised, and there is no public participation. They should allow the people to make the decisions that are affecting their lives.”

Asked about the significance of her T-shirt, which bore the message “Insurgent”, she said: “It means I’m in solidarity with the courageous Iraqi resistance.”

She's a teacher? Uh, Not quite the whole story. She's on the steering committee of United for Peace and Justice and a director of Democracy Rising.

From the DR Website:

"Virginia Rodino

Virginia Rodino is a global justice activist who has protested the G-8, WTO, IMF, World Bank, and the occupation of Palestine and Iraq around the globe. She is a communications professor in the University of Maryland system, where she researches the democratization processes of social movement communication, as well as mainstream media coverage of social movements. She has produced award-winning studies on activist public relations, and is a trained critical media analyst. She is a founding organizer of the Baltimore anti-war coalition. In addition to founding and organizing several global justice and anti war groups, Rodino has served as the media spokesperson and publicist for these organizations as well. She has been a delegate to the 2001 NYC Social Forum, the 2002 European Social Forum in Florence, Italy, and the 2005 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Rodino was the Maryland Green Party's 2004 congressional candidate for the 7th district, and the Maryland state coordinator and advance media coordinator of the Nader/Camejo 2004 presidential campaign."

Add the word "Traitor" to her resume.

does this contemptible puffbag have ANY idea what the "insurgents" would do to her, given a chance?

perhaps she could chain herself to an oil refinery in iraq to protect the assets of iraq.

Hey, Virginia! I support the courageous Americans that give freedom to nutcases like you.

Is she actually in front of students spouting all this BS or just a researcher?

Either way, I believe Maryland taxpayers are paying her wages and that would make me real sick if I lived there.

One gathers that she hopes the "insurgents" would rape her until her head turns around first, and then maybe paddle her bottom.

Feast your eyes on one of the babes of the barking moonbat antiwar left.



She was also the Maryland coordinator for Nader '04.

She's a little Ward Churchill, and she deserves what she gets.

Cancel her passport and refuse to let her back in the country. Let her go to one of the socialist/islamic paradises that her idealized insurrectionist heroes have built.

Is it just me, or does her district look (just a bit) Gerrymandered?
