SAN FRANCISCO -- The Golden Gate Bridge is open again to pedestrians and bikers after a hours-long closure earlier today.

Highway Patrol and San Francisco police officers closed the bridge after a small group of peace protesters tried to march across the span.

CodePink, an anti-war group, planned to walk across the bridge around noon today. The group, with members gathered at both ends of the bridge, was stopped by officers.

After about three hours, officials arrested CodePink leader Medea Benjamin and a handful of other protesters for trespassing.

Ping to post 22. Who pays for these demonstrators to appear in Washington, DC and in San Francisco?

Some people will do the strangest things to get themselves noticed.

One of the key criteria for initiation into Code Pink must be 'ugly.' Being a Lesbian couldn't hurt either.

CHP should have shoved 'em all off the edge.

"Who pays for these demonstrators to appear in Washington, DC and in San Francisco?"

Probably the cream of the krop that populate the liberal organizations in the San Fransisko area... lots of them there, and is hard to tell who actually works for a living!

A great place to live once, now polluted from the inside-out.

Code Pink are traitors. As O'Reilly pointed out, they would have been shot by Saddam. The irony went over the ugly Ms. Benjamin's head.

Separated at birth?

If they allowed the public to throw water balloons and rotten fruit at protesters who have no permit when they block public conveyances, there would be no problem.

Separated at birth?

yeah... she could be his mother

Couldn't agree more whitedog. There are plenty of idiots out here who drank the Kool-aid along time ago making them useful idiots for the likes of Media Benjamin.

The correct headline,

"The Crowd Turned Ugly Just By Showing Up."

Good evening.
"Check out the fat guy offering the cuffed Pinko a drink of water before they haul her @$$ off to jail."

I don't think that is a guy. I'm not sure what the thing in pink facing us is.
