(Updates with five arrested, quote from protester, charges)
WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - An anti-war protester waved blood-colored hands in U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's face at a congressional hearing on Wednesday and shouted "war criminal!", but was pushed away and detained by police.
"The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands!" yelled the protester, Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz of the Code Pink organization which often disrupts hearings on Capitol Hill with protests against the Iraq war.
Rice, an architect of President George W. Bush's Iraq policy, appeared unfazed by the incident, which occurred when she entered a House of Representatives meeting room to testify at a hearing on U.S. Middle East policy.
"Out!," shouted the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, Rep. Tom Lantos, as plain-clothes security men and police hustled the woman away. The California Democrat also ordered the removal of several other Code Pink activists.
Capitol Police said later five people were arrested, including Ali-Fairooz, who was charged with disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer.

Can they keep them out?

Drudge has had a picture up of this...
factless fuitcakes...Code Pinkos are all nutters and useful idiots for islamofascist terrorists...
My guess is that by now they have had their wrists slapped and are back on the streets to enjoy the freedom that we have here.

Code Pinko, those commies again. Threw her out Maher-style this time.
I have no doubt, that those Pinkos are let in by the very Democrats who hypocritically demand them to be removed. Total setup, as were the screechers at the Petreaus hearing.
The only thing this clip proves is the Dems cannot manage their own hearings. These Nuts are only there because the squirrels in charge want them there.
The Pinko protester in this case apparently is married to a Muslim.
Millions, huh? Damn! Our boys must really be kicking some butt over there. For a moment I thought it might have been one of my former teachers. No, never had one with an arabic last name.
An additional benefit of freedom of speech is that it makes it a lot easier to spot the idiots.

I blew a gasket and called everyone I could think of on Capital Hill today!
The article could have been titled: Protester with empty skull confronts Rice...
Where was Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz during the bloody Saddam Hussein years? I kind of doubt she ran up to him with bloody hands and got in his face. So she’s not against dead Iraqis - she’s just in this to try to make America look bad.
I think she should have asked if that was the blood of all the Iraqis murdered by Hussein, the Afghanis murdered by the Taliban, the Asians murdered by the Vietcong and Cambodians, and the Israelis murdered by the P.L.O.
Ms. Shrieking Liberal would have melted down on the spot.
EXCELLENT!
loooonnng article about one staff change, just to hide the bottom part about Fred’s campaign message being well received. They plan on burying this campaign out of sight.
