Video: Code Pink lunatics beclown themselves at Rumsfeld’s arrival
posted at 6:15 pm on May 14, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
I’m not sure what would be the most amusing part of this video from the nutroots-fringe group Democracy Now!, which apparently defines democracy as “the state in which one yells louder in someone’s face than anyone else. Is it the the screeching of “War Criminal” by the two activists, one of whom is Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin? Is it the ludicrous allegation that Rummy killed “millions of Iraqis”? (Even the Lancet study wasn’t that bad.)
For my money, it’s the subtler moment of the woman pretending to be a news anchor, announcing this with, “Video has emerged …” Of course it emerged. You took it!
Actually, I think Tommy Christopher picks the best moment:
My favorite part is when the first one says “I wish I had some handcuffs!”
Really? The only thing standing between you and slappin’ the cuffs on Rummy is a missed shopping trip to Spencer Gifts?
This kind of thing annoys me, because it makes all liberals look stupid. Code Pink has become such a joke, even liberal politicians are calling them out.
Actually, you’ll notice that both morons protestors take care not to touch Rummy, especially not to slap some handcuffs on him. Had they been that stupid, they would have been spending their money on attorneys, court dates, and perhaps emergency-room bills.

Miss Carrie Prejean is going for a Masters in special ed. There are a lot of OD kids in some programs. Oppositional Defiant disorder.
It sure makes people think when observing code Pink behavior problems.

I named my dog Rumsfeld, since she is the Secretary of Defense for my household. I wouldn’t mind it if she ate a couple of Code Pink digits.

Fairooz is the same psychopath who got in Condi’s face with the “bloody hand” routine.
I look forward to Medea and the rest of the Code Pinko dogfaces doing this to Pelosi. I suppose that will probably happen sometime next week, right?

The press has no problem covering two code pink lunatics, but didn’t think the hundreds of thousands of tax protesters who demonstrated on April 15th were worth covering…….. anybody know why?
afotia on May 14, 2009 at 6:26 PM
This is all wrong. Lefty protesters comport themselves with dignity, and their grievances are just.
It’s the righty “teabaggers” that are insane, violent crazies who invent things to complain about.
Clearly, the footage was edited to make these poor people look bad.

That along with being addicted to the adrenaline high and the sense of purpose and meaning these theatrics give to their otherwise dull lives. In fact, if they were honest with themselves, they’d realize the war, Rumsfield, and all people and things neocon were the best things that every happened to them.

With all due respect, why give these freaks precious Hot Air time? They are hairy dirtbags not worthy of our eyes or ears.
God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Rumsfeld. They handled themselves so well.
If I had been a security guard, I’da smacked that beyotch bald headed.
/guess that’s why I’m NOT a security guard!

Rumsfeld is a War criminal and should be treated as such. Only country in the world where this man could be walking around after his atrocities is America

Medea Benjamin has a great job. She flies around the globe acting like an asshole and the idiots who send her money and George Soros pay for it.

I do not agree with you about Rumsfeld being a war criminal.
But you are most seriously wrong when you say that America is the only place where someone who is a war criminal could be walking around free. Read some history. Read a newspaper. Check out Cambodia, in particular.
myrenovations on May 14, 2009 at 6:44 PM
The sad thing is that I’m not surprised. Those retards have no self respect, and are willing to behave and look like clownish morons at almost any time. They are their own worst enemies, and have no idea that they are, metaphorically, pissing all over themselves. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. More power to them!
mr.blacksheep on May 14, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Rummy a war criminal? That’s sooo 2005.
C’mon Pinkies, get up to speed – everyone knows San Fran Nan is the W.C. du jour!
(BTW, where the hell is Cindy Sheehan? Wasn’t she warning us about Pelosi’s lies last fall? You go, girl!)

I guess Rummy doesn’t rate decent security these days… Those D-bags should have been tased and made to perform the funky chicken on video.
Claypigeon on May 14, 2009 at 6:47 PM
I remember watching a local news report back in the 80′s (it must have been the 80′s since you could still smoke in public) about leftist protesters hassling pedestrians passing whatever it was that they were protesting. Some protester gets hands on with an old guy walking down the street smoking a cigar. The guy looked like he was pushing 80 years old. He takes his cigar and jabs the protester right in the forearm with it. Burn the hippies!
rw on May 14, 2009 at 6:49 PM
My greatest wish is that folks like Code Pink have the opportunity to live in a world completely of their own making (separate and away from the rest of us).
moxie_neanderthal on May 14, 2009 at 6:54 PM
I have actually seen a few moments of Democracy Now. As soon as you see her, you know it is a liberal group. She is about as butch as they come.
I think it would have been hillarious if Rumsfeld would have grabbed her, dipped her and gave her a big kiss on the lips. Haha! Now that would be a picture worth posting!
jeffn21 on May 14, 2009 at 6:55 PM
To paraphrase Rummy, there are Seen Un-seens. Once you see hideous visages like Medea Benjamin, et al., you cannot un-see them!
Christien on May 14, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Poor liberals. I officially feel sorry for them.
I wonder if any of them are rational enough to notice the obvious ironic truth: if – in fact – Donald Rumsfeld was a war criminal … nobody would believe it after that display.
Seriously. I’m pretty sure if I committed some heinous crime, I’d try to hire these idiots to publicly protest me. After seeing these embarrassing fools, everybody would laugh it off.
Professor Blather on May 14, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Agree with all above except the troll bait:
1. Why are leftist chicks so heinous?
2. My favorite part is Rummy & his lovely wife (who is a lady unlike the the freaks of code commie) laughing at the hysterical cows.

How did that “pretend news anchor” not make the Maxim Hot 100?
Also, despite these wacko’s cries, killing people during a war does not make someone a war criminal, otherwise pretty much all wars would be illegal…well unless liberals tried to fight in a war. They would throw flowers and not be criminals, but they’d also all be dead.

See what happens when they close the insane asylums. These folks could be peacefully weaving potholders somewhere and that would be so much more beneficial to society.
Jean Chretien, while he was the Prime Minister of Canada, once took an in-your-face protester down by grabbing his neck and throwing him to the side. Obviously the RCMP does not so vigorously protect the Prime Minister as the official detail the POTUS gets. You have to be a man of action to be PM in Canada.
Obama wouldn’t last very long.

Very small potatoes by way of comparison to the Mussolini in the White House.
MB4 on May 14, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Reminds me of August 1984 when the Republican Convention was in Dallas to re-nominate Ronaldus Magnus. Some moonbats, eager to protest RR’s perceived nuclear proliferation, thought they’d illustrate by staging a “die-in” at noon during a day of the Convention. Without a permit, they converged on Thanksgiving Square in downtown Dallas. Precisely at noon, they all fell to the ground, screaming and writhing in feigned agony as Reagan’s nuclear holocaust happened. The police, to their credit, did nothing to interfere. Not a one of these rocket scientist protesters took into consideration how hot asphalt will get at noon, in August, in Dallas Texas. The news crews (not the left-wingers we have today) took great delight in playing and replaying the reaction of the protesters when they fell and hit the 130+ degree pavement. They got up, quickly, to the laughter of the onlookers (police included).

Although I rarely agree with Tommy Christopher, he is a good guy and avoids the nutjobs on the far left, much like Ed avoids the crazies on our side (Ron Paul anyone? LOL). Code Pink is beyond nutso. Slapping cuffs on Rummy would have been funny to see, as the cops hauled the deranged wackos away.
simkeith on May 14, 2009 at 7:10 PM
Why?
They’re silly goofballs who do exactly nothing but earn Republicans votes. They sure aren’t worth getting mad about. What we should be doing is raising funds to get them spots on national television. They’d destroy the Democrat Party in about 10 minutes.
My only (very faint) curiosity about these silly saps is why on Earth they aren’t protesting Obama? Not only is he anti-gay marriage, he’s obviously a war criminal: the only reason we’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan is President Obummer.
War criminal! He won’t even release the “torture” photographs! And he hates teh gays.

Of course most of the American people NEVER see this lunacy. But I can guarentee you that if some pro-lifer went screeching at someone in the Obama administration, it would be played over and over and over in the msm.
Rightwingsparkle on May 14, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I think the intelligent Bugler is really on to something. But I thought the witch was AprilOrbit.
Then a girlfriend of mine called and suggested that the woman was a producer or perhaps the director of programming at MSNBC. The conclusion was based on the cerebral treatment of problems, the quiet dignity and the attempt to treat the Bush administration with a fair ratiocination.
Then we both concluded that you had better picks.
But back to Nancy Pelosi.

I don’t see you moving to another country.
As for Rummy, he’s already been charged as a war criminal at The Hague. So have all the others.
One of those also charged at The Hague is Colon Powell. But you ladies all orgasmed when he endorsed O’bama, so he’s probably been quietly removed from the claim.
Del Dolemonte on May 14, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Saw this on Fox and wondered if they would be arrested (yeah, I know, not much of a chance.) While touching him could be battery, isn’t whatthey are doing enough to qualify as assault? And they provided the documentation!

Drive around town in my smart car with a flower on my antenna and an Obama sticker on my bumper and feel the pride while people in non-golf-cart-looking-road-worthy-vehicles honk and point and laugh at me. YES I CAN!

Press Release:
From: Code Pink
To: The MSM and to ANYONE? ANYONE? who will listen to us.
We’ve decided to stop bearing our really ugly breasteses. We’ve decided that our antics during the Bush years might have brought us more media attention than we ever thought would be possible, thanks to MSNBC. Butt, we realize that our existence is threatened. Much like the Dinosaurs of Old.
We’ve resigned ourselves to a more simple existance beside our Mother, Sheehan. We will never shave. We will never cave. We will never bathe.
We will occasionally show up at zoo’s, protests, gay churches and marches and we will continue to fight when we have time. For now, our time will be spent at Universalist Churches, gay pride marches (bring it on Key West!) and eating stale eggs and dive diners in our spare time and on your dime.
We’ve run out of money for crayons and markers and post-boards. We’ll occasionally show up at hollywood dinners and celebrity events, but for now, we must fold our tent.
Please, donate a small sum to our future cause that will commence in 2010 by calling 1-800-22-FUGLY. Your generous donation will enable us to ambush any non-socialist candidates in the 2010 election. Sorry, your contribution is not tax deductible, but we WILL show you some seriously debilitating, unflattering, uglyfugginable boobs.
Thank you.

They are not nearly as benign as you imagine. Indeed, they are a malignant force. Code Pinkster Jodie Evans was a bundler to Obama’s campaign coffers and like MoveOn.Org, they have a big influence on the direction of the Democrat Party policy.
A la Jane Fonda and the Vietnam War, they meet with our enemies, like Ahmadinijead, Castro and Chavez. They participate in effective crusades, like this:
In July 2005, Code Pink joined a coalition including individuals and organizations ranging from Eve Ensler, Gloria Steinem, Not In Our Name, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Culture Project, and United For Peace and Justice — who together demanded the closure of the Guantánamo Bay prison camp and an “immediate independent investigation into the widespread allegations of abuse taking place there.”
And so on, ad nauseam.

Come to think of it, perhaps that is why there is such a dirth of conservative leaders.
