Nice camera work, Liz. Nice editing, too. I'm ashamed to say I voted for Feinstein when I lived in San Francisco.
Code Pink is Latin for "I've Got A Handcuff Fetish".
I love it when raving hippie lunatics get arrested! They bring it on themselves. But, the beauty is they get at least a little prison time and they get a record because these idiots always cop a plea of guilty!
I see the hypocritical gutless anonymous nutjobs are back, frothing at the mouth. Did you miss your electroshock therapy appointments again, anonymous nutjobs?
Come on Eileen, this is classic footage! I live to see you whack jobs get carted off!
The Capitol Police Rock!
That is amazing how quickly the Capitol Police shuffled that loon outside! Shame on you Mr. Richardson for violating the decorum of a hearing and for trampling on other people's rights to see their elected officials in action. Why not go to their offices and meet your representatives or call them like the rest of us? Is it because you are so extreme and such a lunatic that they will not meet with you?
The person from Code Pink who is getting arrested is Jes Richardson of San Francisco who protested against the execution of a man who arranged to have his son's 17 year old girlfriend murdered and then while his case was pending tried to hire a hit man to kill the witnesses. He considers himself a death penalty opponent and yet he wears a shirt advocating that we not attack Iran. In Iran, some 21 people were hanged, some for being gay. This Jes Richardson is yet another whack job which groups like Code Pink seem to attract. Hopefully, more members of Code Pink will get themselves arrested and cop pleas to criminal cases.
Let's do our own dirty laundry before we start doing Iran's, shall we? 3800 Americans and one million Iraqis dead for a LIE. Let's start with that.
So, who in your mind killed those 1 million Iraqis? Moreover, where do you get a figure of 1 million from? Other estimates have it that the terrorists have killed, not 1 million, but about 100,000 Iraqis.
LOVE This footage also! Angry hippies getting in trouble makes my day. This dude looks like he sits around and smokes dope all day!
Reports are that only three terrorists have been waterboarded.
The information they gave up saved THOUSANDS OF LIVES!
Perhaps Code Pink should demonstrate outside the Library Tower building in Los Angeles and tell the inhabitants why they would be better off dead.
The information that is given up by people being tortured is unreliable. Here's proof: Khalid Sheik Mohammad claimed to have murdered reporter David Pearl, when the known facts about the locations of the two men at the time of the murder corroborate this was a lie. KSM was making up fantasy stories. Just because it's something you want to hear doesn't mean it's true or good intel. Torture doesn't work, cluetards.
Hey Blab, if you were ever in the military, you'd know that torture does work.
That's why the expectations for prisoners was revised. The standard isn't name, rank and serial number anymore. It's hold out for as long as you can.
It also varies by rank. Lower ranks don't have as much to give and goes stale quickly. As you go up in rank, you know more that's valid for longer terms.
Even the one off riff on "retards" of "cluetards" is meanspirited.
What did the some of the most helpless among God's children do that they can be the butt of jokes for Cole's amusement?
It clearly illustrates how easy you can spew hate.
Is it just me, or did you notice how they specifically got someone from California to attend the hearing because they knew Feinstein's vote was not leaning in their favor. Then, they focus their camera phones on this loon. He claimed, in a later Code Pink blog post, that he just spontaneously reacted to Feinstein's comments,but yet you can see Code Pink's camera phones are totally focused on him. Then he erupts, but is hustled out quickly. Notice how Medea Benjamin is upset because they can't get seats. She wanted the seats to be as far away from the door as possible because the plan was to have this loon act outraged and they wanted to maximize the amount of footage they would get. Then, notice how after he is arrested they are all silent in the halls, but as soon as they step out the door they start acting outraged. This is because they intentionally wanted to avoid getting an additional charge of breach of peace. This was canned outrage. The outrage here is totally phony. Don't expect to get a best actor Oscar because your "outrage" is clearly phony!
A New York democrat also voted to send this confirmation to the floor. Notice how they have no footage of anyone acting outraged when that senator spoke because they did not have a loon from NY available who was willing to get arrested.
If you have to waterboard someone then YOU ARE THE MONSTER. That's the point.
When intelligence professional interrogation expert after expert lines up and tells you torture doesn't work, and yet you continue to base your views on TV shows and military wannabe novels, that makes you a cluetard and worthy of nothing but contempt.
So, can you tell me of anyone who has been waterboarded in the last three years?
In all that testimony, you never heard anyone say that it has been done since 2003. Moreover, it was only used on three high ranking Al Queda Officials. Your waterboarding campaign is just more staged phony outrage.
No, we can't tell you who was or was not waterboarded, and you can't either. All you can do is parrot what you've been told, which you choose to mindlessly believe.
Since observers are not allowed inside the secret prisons in Iraq, the ones we're not supposed to know about in Poland and Romania, the other ones we're not supposed to know about in Egypt and Sudan and Sierra Leone, and whatever ones we haven't found out about yet, we can't tell you what goes on in there.
Neither can you, and while I realize that you're more interested in spouting propaganda than questioning it, I would urge the friends of Code Pink reading this to keep their eyes on this web page.
Sooner or later they will post the link on this page (under the Documentation section) to the taped testimony of two professional military intelligence interrogators and one ACLU human rights observer. The testimony given in that hearing will completely dismantle the mindlessly parroted lies of the GOP shills that appear here.
Dont forget to wear Red on Friday's to support the Troops :-)
Whether it's staged or not, only his hairdresser knows for sure...
Hey coles, the person who briefed us was an expert. It's what they do for a living and part of it was also a lecture by a POW that was tortured.
Again, you've got your bullshit talking points and then there's what the US military tells their folks to do.
Excuse me but I trust the US military a lot more than Code Pinko.
Well we know coles hasn't been waterboarded in quite some time. P.U.
Okay, you can't tell us who has been waterboarded since 2003. Yet, government officials who are in the know say NONE
So, in your mind, I should believe you or just speculate that everyone is lying and only Code Pink knows the truth. It seems funny that in all those years, no one has come forward to say that anyone other than 3 were waterboarded. You have nothing to show otherwise, just your gut feeling. Well, I have a gut feeling that you are ignorant.
You believe what you want, but don't come around in here pretending that your own bullshit talking points are going to get you anywhere. The testimony from the professionals *I* saw was UNDER OATH, and I trust THAT more than some secondhand hearsay from some brainwashed knuckle dragging ape who lives for government propaganda, action hero movies, detective TV shows and Dick Marcincko military-wannabe trash novels.
About the only saving grace your foolishness provides is that if things do come to a head in this country most of you are going to be completely wrong about the way it's going to play out, because your sources are based on a Hollywood reality that will fall apart like a house of cards in the rain.
OKAY, SO TELL US, WHO HAS BEEN WATERBOARDED SINCE 2003? CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?
THE ANSWER IS
NO ONE!
Eileen, you just can't come up with the answers. You are speculating. No one testified that they witnessed waterboarding of anyone since 2003. No one testified that anyone other than three high ranking Al Queda have been waterboarded. And, even then it was because those three likely had information on active domestic terror plots. Please, post an article from a news source that proves that anyone else has been waterboarded other than some homeless guy that Code Pink waterboarded for nothing in exchange for a bag of chips.
I WONDER IF THOSE THREE PEOPLE WHO WERE WATERBOARDED SQUEALED LIKE CODE PINK PIGS?
Oh, I guess you have no proof that anyone other than three people who have been waterboarded. Why not just admit that you are wrong or come up with something to show otherwise? I say again, ONLY THREE HIGH RANKING AL QUEDA MEMBERS HAVE BEEN WATERBOARDED. AT LEAST ONE OF THE THREE ACTUALLY GAVE INFO ON ACTIVE TERROR CELLS. NO ONE HAS BEEN WATERBOARDED SINCE 2003. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PHONY ISSUE FOR CODE PINK TO HAVE PHONY OUTRAGE OVER.
I don't see any news headlines saying anyone other than three high ranking terrorist leaders of Al Queda were waterboarded. And I don't see any news headlines saying its been used since 2003. Just another LIE BY CODE PINK. DON'T BUY CODE PINKS PHONY OUTRAGE AND LIES.
Hey, no one ever found proof of WMDs in Iraq either, but what's a little lack of proof between friends when you want to invade a sovereign nation and rip off it's oil?
As a person who actually DID hold a clearance I truly begin to doubt if you cluetards also served and are simply the products of brainwashing. The sheer lack of understanding of the military intelligence community being exhibited here infers that most of you are military wannabes who'd be rejected simply because you haven't got sufficient brains to wash.
Again, you can show nothing that anyone has been waterbaorded since 2003. Nothing to show that anyone other than people who worked directly with Bin Laden in high ranking Al Queda positions were waterboarded. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES -- PROVE YOUR ASSERTIONS AND YOU CANNOT. WATERBOARDING IS A PHONY ISSUE COOKED UP BY YOU NUTS!
We are in trouble if the government trusted you with anything. Also, even if you had a security clearance, you would not get one now.
I have a security clearance to. My job is to insure that no one knows that the UFO's Kucinich sees are real! And, the fact that you don't believe me proves how good I, and a small cadre of others, are at our jobs!
I would not WANT a clearance now. After the sheer amount of corruption, sexism, greed, incompetence, criminality and outright shitheadedness I saw as a person who was cleared, I made a conscious choice never to work in that environment again. You pigs bored me then, and you bore me now. How would I protect the United States of America? Throwing your sorry asses in jail for war crimes would be a good start.
Who knows maybe he is actually really happy. When you put on this big show acting all "outraged" and saying the most extreme things you can, maybe it calms you down when you go home to him. After all, you probably need to latch onto something to make you feel important. I am happy that you found it at Code Pink.
HEY CAN YOU POST MORE VIDS OF YOU LADIES GETTING ARRESTED? I LOVE SEEING THAT. THEY HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN BEING HANDCUFFED CLIPS ON YOUTUBE AND I CHECK THOSE OUT ALL THE TIME. WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE CLIPS THAN YOU GOT.
THE ONE WITH THE DUDE WASN'T THAT GOOD!
coles, stop parroting the talking points for a second and look up the meaning of "soverign".
You clowns love to use that word as if it's a trumph card.
You parrot the talking point without understanding.
"How would I protect the United States of America? Throwing your sorry asses in jail for war crimes would be a good start."
Hey one coles is the same as five Che's.
Castro's not feeling well, maybe you can put in for his job.
coles, you can't say there were never any WMDs in Iraq.
You clowns love to quote and showcase Scott Ritter. So what was he doing, knowingly cheating the taxpayer out of money, making a greedy profit, when there were no WMDs?
There were WMDs, Saddam had to list them to get the ceasefire. He was supposed to destroy them.
The UN had a big role in that. That was all based on lies?
Your "lies" claim is based on the SOTU address and Wilson's BS.
Bush said "Africa" and "British Intel". The Brit review by a commission found that the Brit intel claim was accurate.
And check the NYT for the proof that something like 500 tons (500,000 tons?) of yellowcake were found in Iraq.
The UN found phosgene too.
The Iraqi Generals believed they had WMDs, as the outfitted their troops to USE them.
So don't lie and say Bush lied.
because your sources are based on a Hollywood reality that will fall apart like a house of cards in the rain.
Oh, you mean like "Redacted"? "In the Valley of Elah"? "Rendition"? "Lions for Lambs"?
When will Code Pink express more outrage against America's enemies, rather than our own government? When will you protest against the atrocities committed by bin Laden and Zawahiri? Where was your outrage Pfc Kristian Menchaca and Pfc Thomas Tucker? Oh, it was probably against the evil Bush regime; not the ones who actually tortured and killed them.
you want to invade a sovereign nation and rip off it's oil?
Eileen, can you please explain what our motives were in invading a sovereign nation and how we are "ripping off" its oil? Thanks for your time in responding.
This is what all you worldkopps need a good dose of.
Our motives for invading a sovereign country and ripping off it's oil were greed, greed, greed and greed. Any questions? No, I mean real questions that make sense and don't try to weasel out of the truth?
America's worst enemy right now IS AMERICA. The Bush administration needs to be impeached. They have repeatedly broken both United States and international law.
coles, January 2009, there will be a peaceful handover to a new president.
Who you gonna hate then?
Your Bush Derangement Syndrome is such that you'll hate America if it helps you hate Bush.
That's got to be painful. I can only imagine the angst.
Who am I gonna hate? The people who take my precious freedoms and rights away - rights I WELL AND TRULY EARNED with my OWN military service - in the name of protecting me from a convenient boogeyman that they somehow haven't been able to find in SEVEN FUCKING YEARS - perhaps because they spend all their time and OUR MONEY looking in the wrong countries, the wrong cities, and at the wrong people.
Well, something must be working right considering that we have not been attacked at home in nearly 8 years...
