Fox News Channel host Geraldo Rivera said last night he will set up a legal defense fund for Diane Wilson, a co-founder of the terrorist support group Code Pink who was arrested last week for disrupting a Senate hearing in a protest about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Wilson stood up at a hearing of the Senate Energy Committee and doused herself with simulated oil to protest the stance by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on the oil industry.
Rivera made the offer to set up a legal defense fund for Wilson last night when she appeared on his Fox News Channel show. Even though Code Pink put out a statement claiming responsibility for Wilson's protest, Rivera did not mention she was a co-founder of the terrorist support group.
Several years ago, Wilson was involved in a plot to kidnap then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
From the Washington Post:
Diane Wilson comes over to talk about her morning at the Gonzales breakfast. She’s a former shrimper, an environmental activist and a fifth-generation resident of the tiny town of Seadrift, Tex.
“The plan was to handcuff myself to Gonzales,” Wilson says. But security came around asking for her ticket and she figured she’d get kicked out shortly, so under pretense of looking in her purse, she handcuffed herself to her chair.
“They started jerking me and I was jerking the chair between us,” she says. Finally, the handcuffs broke. Cheap pair, Wilson says. If she’d had her other handcuffs with her, that wouldn’t have happened.
Code Pink used to protest Fox News, but over the past few years Fox News has made Code Pink frequent guests on shows like the O'Reilly Factor.
Code Pink bills itself as being antiwar, but it funds terrorists like Hamas and works with state sponsors of terrorism against the United States, Israel and Iraq, however Fox News has never reported the real nature of Code Pink.
What’s getting to me is Fox Radio broadcasting the itinerary of the ‘president’ on a half-hourly basis. I call it OMAMALOTRY, and I just click off the radio for the three minutes they consume. Then I click it back on for the hosts.
I got real tired of this kind of MSM hate minute when it was CBSABCNBCCNN. Now that it’s Fox too, I’m just giving up on the ‘news divisions’. They’re worthless, the whole lot of them, no matter whose network you want to mention.
That’s why I get my news here...
They are good for leads on stories, for insight into the political spin, and for entertainment.
Using the money he made from recovering the items in Al Capone’s vault.
FR really is the best newspaper in the world.
And provides the story before the MSM gets their hands on it...
Good research!
If she had done it (handcuffed herself to him) she probably would have been charged with assault not kidnapping. Anyway she didn't get near him.
