Report: Democrats Demanded Release of Protester Who Assaulted Sec. Rice
Thursday, October 25, 2007 | Kristinn

Posted on 10/25/2007 10:09:42 AM PDT by kristinn

In a report posted on the website Atlantic Free Press, Code Pink leader Medea Benjamin claims that a high-ranking Democrat staffer demanded the immediate release of the protesters who were arrested at yesterday's House hearing where Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was assaulted by a Code Pink protester.

Benjamin, who was also arrested by Capitol Police outside the hearing room, wrote this morning that, "The Deputy Chief of Staff of the House Foreign Relations Committee contacted the Capitol Police later in the day to again relay that their (sic) is a policy of that committee to not arrest Citizen (sic) protesters but to instead escort them out of the room. The Deputy asked for the CODEPINK members to be released promptly from custody."

Code Pink has many allies in the Democratic majority who facilitate their illegal behavior. The assault by Code Pink on Sec. Rice crossed a line. That the Democrats demanded the immediate release of the Code Pink protesters is an appalling abuse of power and an insult to Sec. Rice.

Maybe if they would sit down and shut up like normal, respectable people, they wouldn’t spend 100 nights out of the year in jail.

I think the whole thing was a set up to embarrass Dr. Rice orchestrated by the Dems.

When I saw the look on Secretary Rice’s face, she didn’t look one bit worried. In fact, I was hoping she would nail the Pinko between the eyes with a solid left hook!

It was O’Reilly who showed a clip from the Bill Maher show where the lunies got out of hand in his audience and disrupted this live TV program.

He said that eventually someone is going to get hurt. They are at the point of violence, and he is right.

She probably would impose sanctions against the woman.

If these nut’s try to turn it on a Dim administration they’ll get their heads cracked and you’ll hear nary a peep out of the media.

At least in Baghdad anyone getting that close and threatening the Secretary of State would have been shot dead.

"I wonder how the Dems would react if an anti-abortion protestor with bloody hands accosted Ruth Bader Ginsberg on her way to court?"

Quote of the day.

Yesterday 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. (called my Congressman again today, he has been getting calls)

Republicans in Congress should be raising hell today, and CP should be banned from protests in the Capital.

Josh Bolton should call up all of the Democrat Committee chairmen and chairwomen in both houses and inform that no more Executive Branch officials will be testifying before their committees until their personal security is assured and that further testimony will resume only after Code Pink has been completely excluded from the sessions.

Doesn’t it strike you funny that representatives from the WH now need to bring their own Secret Service protection with them when visiting Congress. Wow, Dems can truly protect this nation - they cannot even provide protection to administration witnesses.

To which I say, BRING IT! I will NOT start the fight -- any fight -- but I WILL finish one that someone brings to me!!! And if one of these traitorous liberal pukes ones to bring one to me, I'm OK with that! (Not just bravado, I've been there, done that.)
