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.

Code Pinko state of mind: Anguished inner voice screaming,
“Daddy!
Love me Daddy!
Daddy! Look at me!
Daddy! Please, Daddy!
Why won’t you love me!
Wahhhhhh!”

I’m not a psychiatrist, I’m a Metaproctologist.
But I did stay at the Redd Logg Inn last night!

“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.”

Didn’t one of them try to knife a MoveAmericaForward supporter in Berkeley? You gotta love naked hypocrisy.

I notified Drudge. I think everyone should send him the info.

This lunatic woman should be sitting in a jail cell and not released per the democrats requests. She assaulted Condi Rice and could have easily attacked her with a deadly weapon, while Condi was going to testify before Congress. This is a very sad day. To those that wanted to teach republicans a lesson, thank you. This is what you get with democrats in charge. Shame on the democrats, code pink and those that thought punishing the republicans was a good thing.

I agree. Their anger and irrational behavior has knotched up quite a bit when they lost the 2004 elections. It was the first time that Dem activists resorted to property damage (tire slashing, smashing office windows and etc). If they lose the 2008 elections I think violence will happen. A good criminologists will tell you that once a person loses the fear for destroying property, attacks on a human being is only a short distance away. Look at all your criminals who do assault and battery, and other serious assualts/murders, they all began with petty vandalism, working their way up to smashing property before they culminate with assualts and serious crimes.

This person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent!

Hope everyone picks up their phone!

Here’s a silly question but did the MSM pick up this assault?

The Dem’s constant pandering to the nut fringe is getting way out of hand

Why is it assumed people like this woman are the fringe of the socialist Democrats?

Are you saying people like her are the mainstream of the Dem party?

It was an assault on our Sec. of State. Nothing short about it. You do not need to make physical contact for an assualt. You do for a battery.

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.

What struck me as funny when watching that scene is that the pinkos were clearly dressed differently then everyone else in the room. One of them even wore a pink top and yet nobody noticed they would cause trouble.

claims that a high-ranking Democrat staffer

Would that be a 17 year old as apposed to a 16 year old?

Have any Republicans commented on this today?

“And Condi is as cold as ice. I love it.”

That picture is a good visual on the difference between Liberals and Conservatives.

That was nothing short of an assault on a federal employee. Wonder what would be the consequences if that employee happened to be a cop instead...Bizarre.

They would have elected her to Congress from Georgia? :)

I could care less for Clueless Condi. But its sharp lesson for someone as isolated as her on what true love is like coming from the nutter Left.

She doesn’t look very “peaceful” to me. She has pushed both of her hands around Miss Rice’s head, challenging her to move.

The DNC are traitors who are siding with a known communist group to denigrate the American military.
