The women’s antiwar group CodePink was behind the disruption of Representative Paul D. Ryan’s speech on Wednesday night, but it was in part a product of the Romney campaign’s continuing dispute with Ron Paul supporters.
“An angry Ron Paul person was like, here, take my pass,” said Laura Mills, the 21-year-old CodePink intern who was escorted out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum after interrupting Mr. Paul’s speech.
Ms. Mills and a more seasoned activist, Ann Wright, were just waiting for Mr. Ryan to say something about health care. When he did, they yelled, “Health care, not warfare” and “My body, my choice.” Ms. Mills unfurled a banner that read, “Vagina: Can’t Say It? Don’t Legislate It,” a reference to an abortion debate in Michigan when a female lawmaker was barred from speaking after referring to women’s genitals.

Remember that incident with the CP whackjob, Condi Rice showed real restraint and handled it well.
Funny how these groups tell conservatives to stay out of their (insert place here).
They demand that they want government out of their bedrooms, yet demand for the government to pay for their contraceptives and abortions.
They demand that they want government out of their doctor’s office, yet they demand that the government pay for their healthcare.
Exactly. There was no disruption. Paul Ryan didn’t miss a beat while giving his speech.
I heard chants and some jeers (aimed at the protestor), so while watching Paul Ryan I sensed there was a minor disturbance on the floor. Then the camera panned toward the delgates and I saw someone in pink being hussled out of the building. The pinkos did this in St. Paul four years ago.
RON PAUL SUPPORTER PRIMER:
(credit goes to RaceBannon)
#1. Be Arrogant
#2. Be Condescending
#3. Be self-important
#4. Be self-righteous
#5. Tout your superior intellect to help overcome your lack of self-confidence (see numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 then go straight to #15).
#6. Give slippery rhetorical answers to straight questions
#7. Hide/Ignore or spin Ron Paul’s congressional record of 23 Years in Congress, creating 620 bills of which 4 made it to the floor and only one became law.
#8. When cornered and have no truthful or direct response, spout angry, non-topic rhetoric as an answer, then see #19.
#9. Hide your Democrat voting status from the public & pretend you’re a Republican.
#10. Blame everyone else, never take credit for a problems like Barack Obama because we are closet Ultra-Liberals
#11. Berate and/or belittle your opponent whenever losing an argument, then see #19
#12. Blame America for the world hating the US and act like an Arab Psychiatrist/Pathologist when promoting the 9/11 Jihad conspiracy.
#13. Be courteous and direct others to their local cable or satellite channel that carries reruns of Conspiracy theory with Jesse “You deserve to lose a few” Ventura.
#14. Copy and paste data from whatever unreliable source you can find to try and validate your argument.
#15. Avoid/ignore any or all valid retort or facts that invalidate your agenda at all costs or whenever possible. (Go back to #6)
#16. Create a fictitious Facebook persona to hide your true identity like our Anarchist/OWS cousins.
#17. Make cowardly drive-by hit and run comment and/or “like” a fellow Paulbot’s hit and run comment.
#18. Bait adversaries by commenting/posting irrelevant points and/or points you were making during your last debate with someone totally different on another topic all together without looking like you are arguing with yourself. Try to avoid looking foolish at all costs.
#19. Scurry over to your nearest Ron Paul thread and alert other bots to join you and that you require assistance because you’re losing your delusional Liberal arguments. Then medicate, repeat, put on your drool bib and go back to marching in the paper slipper brigade.
#20. Follow #18 and 19 to the letter, then surround your opponent and take cheap pot-shots from your behind your fictitious Facebook persona (See #9 and #16).
#21. Before debating, avoid getting fecal matter in or behind your ears when removing your head from your rectum. This will be particularly useful when listening to CD’s of “Dr” Paul in your Toyota Prius.
#22. When casting your ballot for “Dr” Paul during online polls, remember to clear your cookies then repeat. Do this as many times as your fingers will allow or until the next episode of Colbert Reports, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, or your Mother calls down to the basement stairs to tell you that “dinner is ready”.
Yeah...my instinct leads me to think gutter tactics would serve to drive Independents/Undecideds to Romney, not away. Plus, might steer some moderate Rats in the right direction. That sort of behavior is still reprehensible in some qtrs. Now Romney will have to maintain his composure and rise above it. I think he can.
Security should be on the lookout for out-of-place hipster-looking cats, and a certain aging one.
Doesn’t it look like she’s about an inch from giving the CP whacko a hard knuckle jab to the throat?
Most people gave up the college protest when they left college, but the Code Pink people never grew up.
As expected the Paulestians are now happily flocking to the kenyan. Any way to end the charade that these are GOP delegates and revoke their convention credentials?
....I miss Quinn and Rose!
CODE PauLINKo ..
We live in bizarre and scary times.
This had nothing to do with Ron Paul.
Your killing me here...ROTFLMAO!
Libspeak: Healthcare = killing babies.
If you go over to Jim Hoft’s site , he has a vid of Occupiers boarding buses for the RNC protest. His vid highlights DoJ officials assisting them. But of note is a number of Paul supporters among the Occupiers boarding the buses.
Paulians, the Westboro branch of the Republican Party. Time to eject them.
I have never figured out why Ron Paul was even accepted as a GOP candidate. He was a libertarian, shared virtually none of the GOP platform from earlier years (not to mention this year’s platform) and has done nothing but disrupt and undermine good candidates. Romney would not be our candidate now without the Ron Paul shenanigans.
This is not out of character for Paulestinian suicide bombers.
Since they know they can not win, they are happy to strap on the vest and take as many down with them as they can.
