Condoleezza Rice Attacked At Capitol Hill Hearing Oct 24, 2007

An anti-war demonstrator accosted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she arrived to testify at a hearing on Capitol Hill, shouting "war criminal" before being dragged away by security.

Members of the Capitol Police department also removed several members of the anti-war group "Code Pink" from the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing room, who struggled as they left.

The hearing began on schedule and Rice's testimony did not appear to be affected by the incident.

I wish Dr. Rice could have punched her. Of course, they would then sue and have her arrested for assault, but that woman needed a good punch in the face.

I took my grandson to see/hear Justice Thomas on Tuesday. I was expecting the security to be tight. It did not seem to be, but when I talked to one of the gentlemen, he said it was tighter than it may appear.

"Enough with slapping the wrists of these uncivilized beasts. It’s time to start throwing the book at them, and putting them in jail for two or three years, per offense."

I called the Capital Police, the Speaker, the Minority leader, Cong Lantos, and my Congressman.
And asked them what the hell kind of government security they are running, and asked that this women be charged to the fullest.

Everyone should do the same.

It is truly a wonderful thing that we live in a country which allows someone to act
like this without reprisal.

The more the media shows these nutcases and their ignorant, arrogant acts the
more people will get so sick of it they will vote out of power the politicians who
support these loonies!

Who keeps letting these moonbats in?

That is one thing I keep wondering, but really the question should be:

Who keeps letting these moonbats so close to the Secretary of State?

Bull. decent Society, and healthy civilisations have codes of conduct, and are within their rights to punish the infantile and incorrigible, for their temper tantrums, discourtesies, and assaults.

“Hey, she grew up black in the segregated South. It will take more than shouted epithets or showing her fake-blood smeared hands to spook Dr.Rice.”

In my opinion, she should be the first woman President and not Hillary. She is a person of immense talent and intellect -

“While Rice is not a professional pianist, she still practices often and plays with a chamber music group. Rice made use of her pianist training to accompany cellist Yo-Yo Ma for Brahms’s Violin Sonata in D Minor at Constitution Hall in April 2002 for the National Medal of Arts Awards”

She also seems to hate Israel, the only democracy in the middle east. She has pledged to condemn Israel if they don’t give control of Jerusalem over to the Palestenians.

I wouldn’t vote for her for dog catcher.

-she is also pro abortion. Much as I admire her in other areas of her life, she is for the killing of the defenseless unborn.

Was she physically attacked or verbally? If physical, its time to end Code Pink’s access to hearings.

Well...the liberals showed their true colors, which is “When a person does not agree with their way of thinking physical harm will come your way “...Prime example: Dr. Rice

I’m glad the extreme liberal groups did not mess with me in a distasteful matter, because I’d press charges as private citizen and sue the organization out of existence.

The Pinko clearly had Sec. Rice’s head encircled in her arms and VERY close to Sec. Rice’s face. The barney fife protection dude had to physically prevent her arm from moving in. That is a physical assault. If someone did that to you or your loved one, wouldn’t you physically have to remove them? That is a physical attack.
