Members of Code Pink, an anti-war organization, protested Rep. Gary Ackerman's (D-NY) house boat with a canoe blockade Wednesday morning. Ackerman embraced the protesters, calling it the most creative protest he had ever seen and engaged in a lengthy discussion with them about the Iran sanctions proposed in Congress.

I was just going to post this ridiculous Code Pink needs attention. My question is Rep. Ackerman D-NY lives on a houseboat and my first thought was to avoid taxes?

Send Code Pink to Iran!

When I observe the likes of Code Pink, I wonder if there shouldn’t be a threshold of ignorance and stupidity at which one can no longer be considered genuinely human. I’m actually beginning to regard these types of people as mutants.

Years of safety features and government regulations have allowed stupid people like these Code Pinkos to survive, when they used to kill themselves and other dummies from accidents created by their own stupidity.

...to avoid taxes?

Good question. The RAT lives on a boat apparently in Jamaica Estates. Time to look up that area's tax code.

You may color me suspicious. I checked his congressional website and learned that he wears that carnation every day. So he probably keeps a refrigerator full of them.

My own guess is that he decided he needs to run a little to the right for now and wants to be seen taking one for his principles and Medea Benjamin of Code Pink has “grown in office” sufficiently to start hiring out her services.

When are they going to take Barack HiThere Obama to task for saying that we need to pressure Iran to comply through non-violent means?

Seems they are letting the Golden Child skate by this one.

Code Pinko shouldn’t be protesting anything or anyone.

They all should be in jail for treason. Unfortuneatly that will never happen.

I so desperately despise these people.

[weegee]

With all of that pink attire, I see them as fluffers for dictators.

Ackerman’s houseboat is on the Potomac River. Do you pay taxes if you live on a houseboat on the Potomac?

There was a video of it on Fox... Ackerman actually hugged one of them. The “protestors” were smiling. It’s a farce and a game and they think they’re gonna fool the voter. They just may.

You got me on that one. Are those boats - or rich RAT owned YACHTS?

I so desperately despise these people.

I recommend coolly and calmly despising them. Well, you might even just shrug laconically as you otherwise hate their guts. It’s better for your blood pressure.

Code Pink and Gary Ackerman deserve each other..

[NormsRevenge]

Send Code Pink to Iran!

Let their bodies back up what their mouths profess.

Let's never forget what Code Stank did to brave Iranian women who risked their lives to protest in daylight.
