Video: Code Pink Protesters Call Donald Rumsfeld 'War Criminal' at Press Dinner
At Saturday's White House Correspondents Association Dinner, some Code Pink protesters, including founder Medea Benjamin, answered the timeless question, "How do you make people feel sorry for Donald Rumsfeld?"
This has got to be the most clownish protest since the NYU "takeover" in February. 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
PD toolbar! 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.
In this case, I also cringe at the thought of these two patting themselves on the back for "fighting the power." Sure, the Tiananmen Square guy is in awe of your ability to annoy a guy before dinner.
It's especially galling to see this now, having spent a few days with real activists who actually work hard to affect positive change, eschewing attention-whoring techniques like this.

It's sad to watch these pharmaceutically dependent divorcees running around trying to relive their 1969 memory when they went to a protest and felt important for the first time. You are nothing more than a fly on the ass of a cow and he's getting ready to flatulate. Go home, break open a bottle of wine, turn on your Joan Baez records and start playing on line games and quit trying to be emportant. You are nothing more than putrid, vile, anti-American sea hags and it's time to go away now.

"Code Pink has become such a joke......."
News flash Tom Code Pink has ALWAYS been a joke.
The difference is NOW Democrats are in the hot seat of political power. After 71/2 years of keeping us safe now Democrats are responsible for Americas safety.
The same Code Pink criticism of the war Democrats LOVED when Bush was in the White House NOW is passe.
No Tom, Code Pink has ALWAYS been a joke, now they are a Democrat political liability instead of a one time alley.
Respectfully,
Pete

I would have loved to seen Rumsfeld say " I hope Petas not here I'm going to eat a big ole fu**** steak right now"

This is funny. It's like the Family Guy episode where that guy keeps following Peter around yelling "Phony! He's a phony! Hey everybody! This guy's a phony!" while everyone, Peter included, just ignores him.

Code Pink is considered by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and SUNY Albany to be the most reasonable movement in American history. Some consider them to be more important than the parties of Lincoln, Washington, or even Millard Fillmore. I'm not sure what "war" they were referring to, but they must be right given their excellent business suits and complicated phraseology.
I'm not sure why the author mocks a group founded by Ronald Reagan. What a liberal bedpan.

LOL, Cube! Fight the Power, Bite the Tower! A reference to one of Tommy's videos from Denver ;-) In other news, I cannot believe I actually agree with ALL CAPS WADE on this.

think, the code pink panties, need to change their diapers and just once stop peddling hate, and do something of value for this nation.
Their pink diapers are full of crA__ and they need to get out of their pink diapers and grow up.

NAME just ONE decent and constructive thing the CODE PINK PANTIES filled with crA_ have done that is of value ? JUST ONE ?
they are nothing more than brain fried hippies, who think they are so hot and still knocking them dead. THE "FLOWER" girls who fried their brains on illegal drugs and never got a decent edcuation.

Good job, Code Pink! All the media types who fawned over this incompetent liar, calling him "Rummy", after the useless invasion that has cost us 4,000 kids and a trillion dollars, were a disgrace. Nice to see some people with the guts to call this guy what he is to his face.

Two drunken women running around shouting nonsense is now newsworthy. And the Liberals called the Tea Bag demonstrations small; what a joke.

THESE "CODE PINK" WACKOS should be rounded up and sent to GITMO where they can see what REAL war criminals look like. Their Anit-American behavior is an embarrassment to our nation.

Democracy NOW! is just chock full of that kind of crap. If you get a kick out of watching the looney left proudly strutting its stuff, tune in sometime. Most cable systems have at least one public access channel that carries it during a portion of their broadcast day.

Code Pink appears to be the only people with the nads to tell Rummy to his face what needs to be said. The rest of you are all worthless and weak. Not to mention insipid.

Yeah I think he should be arrested, convicted of treason against America and hung publically, i mean its the only fitting punishment for being a disgrace to america, and the military ... I think I speak for each and every soldier when I say this guy is a lunatic who had no idea what he was doing and many many US soldiers lost their lives based on his incompetance.... I hate code pink libs, but this is justified
