Report: Democrats Demanded Release of Protester Who Assaulted Sec. Rice

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.

“Desiree Fairooz was once a full-time teacher.”

Why am I not surprised.

Anyone who get get close enough to physically assault and/or intimidate or threaten a sitting United States Secretary of State should serve a long jail sentence - that is a very serious offense to a very high ranking official.

I’m still confused as to how the moonbat was able to get that close to Ms. Rice.

Me too, we're talking about a secretary of state during war time.

The Democrat violence against Republicans has been ramping up and up and up each election.

A civil war is coming. I just hope that the National Guard shoots to kill the revolutionaries. There should be no vigilantism to restore the order when the anarcho-socialist Left riots in the streets. It is a seditious attempt at overthrown and the needs to be squashed by authority (the military, not police).

The islamic protestor & Benjamin need to cool their heels in jail for a long while.

What is next for her?

A suicide bomb vest?

“I’m still confused as to how the moonbat was able to get that close to Ms. Rice.”

Who ever was in charge of security there SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!

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

The communist movement goes beyond the military. The commies are trying to destroy education for children by dumbing them down and indoctrinating them in to homosexuality. Commies posing as "environmentalists" are preventing further exploration for oil and preventing the clearing of underbrush to prevent the massive wildfires occurring out west.

I “second” your recommendation, but would add that, until Congress can prove that it is competent enough to provide security for Executive Branch officials, all future “testimony” requested by Congressional Committees will be given in meeting rooms provided by, and secured by, the Executive Branch.

LOLOL!!! Wonder if he can shave yet?

"The Deputy Chief of Staff of the House Foreign Relations Committee contacted the Capitol Police ..... for the CODEPINK members to be released promptly from custody."

Medea Benjamin writes as stupidly as she thinks.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I can’t help wondering if the members of Code Pink might be the 72 virgins promised to jihadist martyrs.

[Let's Roll]

Oh, but, but ... actually putting her in jail will just have such a chilling effect on the other moonbats in the code pink kennel.

[Bommer]

The Democrat violence against Republicans has been ramping up and up and up each election. A civil war is coming

Yeah, but guess which side is "anti-gun?" Now guess which side will win?

[rlmorel]

THAT IS A GREAT PICTURE!!!!!

Total disdain.

[roses of sharon]

I wonder what the jail time is for Assault on a Federal Officer?

[hophead]

“Republicans in Congress should be raising hell today”

IF they had any vertebrae left. They DON’T.

A slightly different angle. Again, a perfect shot of Condi's reaction:

And she looks like she's trying not to laugh here:
