CODE PINK - Putting Reality in Condi Rice's Face:

[file83]

This is my favorite photo of the last 7 years.

[ShortnFiery]

1. OMG! This is awesome! I know that the Right Wingers' heads are now exploding.

The RW blogs are a buzzing - wishing all sorts of ill will on this Code Pink lady.

But I say, "May Our Higher Power bless her and her Code Pink allys?"

THAT PIC WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! CODE PINK

[cali]

3. Aargh. Help

we agree. That is an awesome picture. Go Code Pink lady!

[Kadie]

2. Wow. Here are a couple more pics...

she really got right in her face...


Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, right, is confronted by a protester with her hands painted red as she arrives to testify before the House Foreign Relations Committee regarding US policy in the Middle East where she spoke about Iraq, Iran, and the Israel Palestinian conflict on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2007.

[ShortnFiery]

5. You can bet that O'Reilly and his ilk will LABEL this peaceful middle aged woman as Public Enemy #1.

Oh, how dangerous those non-violent resisters are in Code Pink as well as other socialistic organizations like Pax Christi.

I can almost hear O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck screeching now: "Arrest and detain all these middle-aged WHORES for PEACE! And *For The Love Of God* - be sure to physically muss them up a little too in order to give them something to "think about" before doing it again.

[Buzz Clik]

55. Peaceful? Hardly.

And let's not get carried away with the "mussing them up a little." She knew her actions would have consequences, and she knew she would be forced to suffer those consequences.

Civil disobedience has its place. By and large, Code Pink has been pretty good about raising hell in a controlled fashion. Wrapping "blood soaked" hands around the Secretary of State's head crossed a lot of lines.

[midnight]

102. Buz clik I know this is a strong message,

The voters stated their voices peacefully last November. We were promised a new direction. Hardly could we believe it would be to start another war. Now that is crossing the line.

[Buzz Clik]

115. I don't disagree. If the Dem-controlled Congress had taken any action at all...

... this would not be happening.

This is sympotmatic of what happens when people feel they have no leadership that represents them: they take matters into their own hands. It's natural, but it's dangerous.

[Don1]

103. This guy is right.

When you have a discussion with people who only lie and are killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, it is wrong to paint your hands and tell them what they are doing. I mean, you are supposed to wear a suit instead, listen to all the lies, and after shake their hands and have a fucking tea party.

[Buzz Clik]

116. No. That isn't what I said.

But, seeing how you don't give a flying fuck about what I said, we'll simply move on.

[Don1]

127. i think your statement was absurd.

It is completely contradictory to say that she crosses the line when we are dealing with what we are dealing with.

[hiphopnation]

111. would it be anything like dumping a bunch of british tea in boston harbor?

at the time that act "crossed a lot of lines".

[Buzz Clik]

117. That's correct.

Eventually, people decided it was a cause worth dying for, and they died in significant numbers.

Are we there yet?

[redqueen]

118. Are you implying revolution is our only way out? (nt)

[Buzz Clik]

123. Not at all. I was responding to the post before mine.

However, when people feel unrepresented and are passionate in their frustrations, bad things happen.

My hope is that our "revolution" is accomplished by getting rid of every incumbant in November 2008. No exceptions.

[redqueen]

124. Thank goodness...

talk like that worries me... seems very counterproductive.

Every incumbent? Replace Dems with primary challengers, you mean?

[Buzz Clik]

125. "Replace Dems with primary challengers?" That is correct.

I have no desire to turn the government back to the GOP.

[hiphopnation]

126. we may not be there yet

but is that where we have to get before we act? you would seem to think so. i'd rather not wait until that point.

is there a case to be made that "loonies" like code pink may have paid attention to the same historical nuances and parallels drawn here and are maybe trying to prevent us from getting to the point where we have to die "in significant numbers" again? is it a waiting game we're engaged in here? is it possible that this action, i.e., this expression of free speech, was meant to intimidate, to show the secretary of state that at least a few citizens out there DO NOT APPROVE of her actions. or perhaps it was a simple reminder: "you have blood on your hands, Condi". Pretty damned effective statement, if you ask me, if that was indeed her aim.

whatever the case, i concede that it does provide warm fuzzy feelings if nothing else. doesn't it just feel damned good to look at those pictures?!?! that alone is worth it to me, and i applaud that woman.

if it's viewed as some as lunacy, i submit that the "loony" behavior exhibited here is on par with the behavior of condi and the rest of the cabal for the past seven years. and at the very least it serves as a statement to remind people of that, especially condi.

17. Code Pink thinks she cares what they think? Unlikely.

That being said, I want to see the fiends who served this administration confronted for the rest of their lives.

[John Q. Citizen]

23. Who if not you? When if not now?

[PearliePoo2]

20. Is this photo recent?

I'm surprised Code Pink is allowed to be so close and in Condi's face.
Speaking of her face...do I sense a hint of guilt or shame?

[Zywiec]

26. Actually reading the post reveals it was taken today. n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

94. Under reply #2, it looks like condi was smiling. ...n/t

[mmonk]

21. A keeper.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. k&r. I'd like to know what the Pink said to it.

[EnviroBat]

30. Wow! I'm suprised, shocked actually that the woman wasn't tasered,

then shot in the back. How the hell did she get so close to the Princess? None of the SS guards swarmed her and beat the crap out of her huh? The thug machine must be slippin...

[mmonk]

31. Her shirt wasn't pink and they can't read.

[EnviroBat]

32. Yeah, the woman was essentially camoflaged.

[JNelson6563]

they have to get right in the warmongers' faces and need the media to pay attention.

[robinlynne]

56. amazing at the very end as protesters are being mauled by cops, screaming

"you're hurting me", Rice is saying in her happy voice "How are you, it's great to see you" as if the rest of the world simply did not exist.

[riverdeep]

80. Video is interesting.

Doesn't really look like any of the women deserved that harsh treatment, but I was surprised she got so close, so the cops might have been embarrassed. Go officer go, beat that granny!-you never know what they're up to.

[Triana]

99. Excuse ME? "Condi Rice" was attacked?! It looks to me like CODE PINK was attacked...

NOT Condi Rice. What CRAP reporting.

I'm going to put this the way it SHOULD have been reported PROPERLY:

Ms. Rice CONFRONTED by a Code Pink anti-war protester. CODE PINK was then ATTACKED.

[zeemike]

40. I am beginning to love the color pink

Those ladies rock.

[Sparkly]

41. Wow, was this today? nt

[ljm2002]

43. Wow, that video is frightening...

...I guess it got to the security detail when they realized how badly they'd been breached (by that oh, so dangerous activist with painted hands) -- so they had to strongarm all the Code Pink ladies right out of the room, and none too gently either.

On the other hand, the pictures you posted are equally frightening, especially the smiling Condi right after the incident. Although I must say, if you have watched Condi over the years, you can see that her smiling face is not the usual facade -- she's shook up, and overcompensating.

Anyway, I know people love to hate activists for "stunts" like this. And as with everything, there are lines to be drawn. In this case, however, I think the tactics were justifiable, and certainly resulted in some worthwhile photos that graphically say what we all know to be true: everyone in this administration has blood on their hands.

[JNelson6563]

46. That last shot reveals much

Condi looks like she's about to shit herself. I'll bet her voice was extra wobbly today, at least immediately following this incident.

[petgoat]

44. Condi lied to the faces of the 9/11 widows when she said the 8-6 PDB did not warn

of new attacks.

47. AWESOME! --- Great pics, too!

What makes me think those in Condi's security detail will be looking for new jobs soon?

LOL!

That's their call, but I do like this better.

[Enrique]

49. man, that takes guts

she really got in Condi's face.

[Buzz Clik]

50. Yes. Guts for sure. Brains? Eh. Not so sure.

We come off looking like loonies again.

[JackBeck]

51. You're right.

She should have sent a tersely worded email instead.

[Buzz Clik]

53. Doncha love hyperbole and sarcasm? It insulates you from actually making a comment.

I said what I had on my mind. Care to return the favor?

[JackBeck]

58. I did. Upthread.

[hiphopnation]

61. who's "we"

and "loonies"? please explain

[Spazito]

62. Well, at least you aren't using Malkin's favorite descriptor...

"unhinged" this time, lesson learned I guess!

[redqueen]

119. Wow...

Really?

I wonder if freeps turn on each other to the extent people here do.

[mondo joe]

69. I'd say it's at least pointed in the right direction for a change.

No one would mistake me for a Code Pink supporter - but I'm fine with thid demonstration, and grateful that it was at least aimed at Bushco rather than a Democrat.

[Buzz Clik]

73. I agree with that entirely.

[PassingFair]

100. Surprise sentiment from you.

[Vickers]

113. "We come off looking like loonies again. "

Yes, we should all be well-mannered little Jews, er, Democrats.

[2rth2pwr]

52. This is effective...how?

It may be a "feel good" moment for some, but what does it accomplish?

[hiphopnation]

57. your question doesn't comport with the idea contained in your posting name

perhaps you want to think about that

[2rth2pwr]

63. Ok , thought about it.

Still doesn't look like it advances anything positive except for warm, fuzzy feelings for some.

[hiphopnation]

65. then we disagree

"advances anything positive" <------- would you at least concede that this elusive aim (the bar you set) could be achieved in by a myriad of methods, one of which could be civil disobedience?

edit: grammar

[Didereaux]

59. actually it forces the MSM to mainline the story that.....

...there is so much discontent out here, that it has stimulated another generation to protest openly and agressively. This aspect has been played down in the MSM. When Sheehans protest at Crawford was covered it was always at an angle to accentuate the few participants there, whereas the Crawfor Crawfish counter demonstration always resembled hundreds.

No, as futile as it may seem, and is when used as a direct attempt at changing those in power minds, it is very effective in magnifying the cause to the public.

[2rth2pwr]

64. She doesn't look like she's from

any new generation. Looks like a Baby Boomer to me.

[Didereaux]

67. damn YOUNG 'boomer' then! heheh I be the oldest possible n/t

[halobeam]

91. I think baby boomer goes up to born in 1964...

I was surprised when I read that the other day, I didn't know I was one of them! I'm 45.

[kineneb]

98. more credibility

one of the things that pissed off the right during Vietnam was that the protesters were mostly "them young, long-haired, pinko hippy freaks". Having grandma get busted for protesting just looks soooo much worse on the evening news. So huzzah for the over 40 crowd that is protesting this crap.


Really scare the bastards, show up in business dress (suits, w/ties for guys) with briefcases...

[LSK]

70. gets people like Rice out of their bubble

At least for a few minutes at least.

[AmBlue]

114. It shows the WORLD we don't agree...

...with what's being done in our name.

[redqueen]

120. Yup. Shows the world we disagree more than sternly-worded letters

might otherwise indicate.

[SNAKE MAN]

60. Not far enough!!!

They should of had some pigs blood or something, and smeared it on her face!!!

[RaleighNCDUer]

90. Sorry, laying hands on her would be "assault" under the law, and

any message would be lost in the "Condi Assaulted" screams from the MSM.

This was a good, effective protest.

[kas125]

104. she DID get arrested for assault

Des was arrested for assault. One of the women dragged out of her seat, Lori, is already on probation for protesting the funding of the war and she is now facing a year in jail. FOR SITTING IN HER SEAT. Anyone who reads this, please call your congressional representative and inform them about this matter and please ask them to look into it. The women in the back who were dragged out did NOT deserve to be arrested!!

[redqueen]

121. That's crazy talk. (nt)

[AllieB]

132. I'm sure SNAKE MAN and his pals would get a kick out of that

over at that other website.

[SNAKE MAN]

134. Hey there Allie

Just because I am a newbie gives you the right to pick on me. I said no worse than dicknbush a few post down. And what buddies are you talking about on another website. The only other forum I post on is a gold miners website in Arizona. So stop picking on me or I will tell my Mommy!!!!

[Spazito]

66. Kick for a powerful photo and the brave woman taking on the dragon lady

[Manifestor_of_Light]

68. Watch the Naomi Wolf video

That's one of the characteristics of fascism -- they start harassing and arresting peaceful citizens just to intimidate the others.

The Code Pink ladies were sitting quietly!
No doubt they'll sue the city of D.C. Wonder how much time and effort & money they waste defending those suits?

[kenfrequed]

76. Great job!

God I love these gals!

They have a lot of guts!

[riverdeep]

79. Oh damn!

That is an awesome picture. Captures something essential.

Maybe if they would actually show themselves to be open to any in-person dissent, these sorts of 'crazy acts' wouldn't have to occur. When they can't control the message fully, they don't show. Hell, you can hardly get her to show when you got a subpoena.

[dicknbush]

81. BRAVO TO A BRAVE WOMAN...

I WISH I HAD THE GUTS AND THE TIME TO DO THAT. AND TO THOSE WHO SAY ITS OVER THE TOP I DON'T THINK SO IT TAKES THIS KIND OF COURAGE TO GET PEOPLE MOTIVATED AND TO REALIZE THE LIARS ARE STILL IN CHARGE. CONDI RICE IS A WAR CRIMINAL PLAIN AND SIMPLE JUST LIKE THE LADY SAID. BRAVO BRAVA!!!!!!

[dicknbush]

82. Say what you will abut protests..but

It was incidents like this that got the attention of the nation in the 60's. Massive marches etc. If that hadn't happened most of the sleepwlakers in America and we are sleepwalking becasue we continue to allow this crim of Iraq to continue. Unless there is a photo or a moment that is jaring to the soparific masses they just don't care. I say more of this and more often!

[hiphopnation]

86. exactly!

civil disobedience. and yet some here argue that it makes us look like "loonies" or that we're "unhinged".

yes, but traipsing all over the globe and invading sovereign nations in the name of snapping up what's left of a depleting energy source (among the long list of other completely unhinged things this admin has pulled off in the last seven years) is not at all alarming behavior -- why that's not the act of a loony at all! cripes, what was i thinking?!?!

i should just sit down and shut up and certainly not support acts such as this.

[dicknbush]

83. I would have so loved to see The Brave woman take Kindasleezy down..

I know she would have been in bigger trouble and all that assault, felony, end up in jail.... etc but it would have been such a delight to see condi come up off the floor with a bloodied nose don't ya think!?

[JackBeck]

93. No.

[MiniMe]

101. It would run counter to being a non-violent protest

And it would have made a victim of sleezy.

Bold, yes. A good protest? Yes. As much as we hate her, she is a cabinet member. Personally, I thought putting her hands behind Rice's head was the point where it was over the top. Sticking her hands in Rice's face got the point across.

[redqueen]

122. No. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Trite but true.

The message was conveyed quite successfully, without any unnecessary (and counterproductive) violence.

[malaise]

84. Beautiful

Bravo Code Pink

[tomreedtoon]

85. For more effective protests: here's how to make fake blood!

Since Democrats won't do anything, confronting people like Rice, Bush and the like must be done with a simulation of the liquid they spill for real. Like this one from our British friends:

Corn Syrup Blood

This is the recipe that pretty much everyone uses, and there's a lot of variations so feel free to experiment.

* 16 oz. White corn syrup (Karo syrup - this is a US product, but adding golden syrup does the job just as well, alternatively just mix sugar and water and reduce on the stove until it becomes syrupy)
* 1 oz. red food coloring
* 1 oz. washing detergent
* 1 oz. water

Add a drop of blue food colouring to create a more realistic colour. Remove the washing up liquid if you want to make edible blood. Adding condensed milk makes it less transparent and more like real blood.

The blood is extremely sticky and can stain skin and clothes so makes sure its washed off quickly. Use a stain remover on clothes.

There's even more formulas at:

105. $$we get from Iraq $$ it cost to get it. Now we do the same in Iran.

Picked this up from Glenn Greenwald's sight at salon .com from his guest blogger. Check out a few paragraphs:

"...As Jim Holt put it in a recent article in the London Review of Books:

"Iraq has 115 billion barrels of known oil reserves. That is more than five times the total in the United States. And, because of its long isolation, it is the least explored of the world's oil-rich nations. A mere two thousand wells have been drilled across the entire country; in Texas alone there are a million. It has been estimated, by the Council on Foreign Relations, that Iraq may have a further 220 billion barrels of undiscovered oil; another study puts the figure at 300 billion. If these estimates are anywhere close to the mark, U.S. forces are now sitting on one quarter of the world's oil resources. The value of Iraqi oil, largely light crude with low production costs, would be of the order of $30 trillion at today's prices. For purposes of comparison, the projected total cost of the U.S. invasion/occupation is around $1 trillion."

Or as I put it in a post on Holt's article, the Bush gang is "now set to reap a windfall of up to $30 trillion that will maintain the American elite's whip-hand over the world for generations to come. And all it cost was a measly $1 trillion in taxpayer money, a few thousand pieces of lower-class cannon fodder from the U.S. military -- and the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Iraq: an excellent return on investment for Bush-Cheney Inc. and their cronies."

The war against Iran will be a further investment, securing not only the Iraqi acquisition but adding considerably to the dominated reserves. (And don't forget that war -- any war -- enriches another key constituency of the political class: the weapons and "military servicing" industries. Indeed, the military-industrial complex is now so predominant that war and threats of war are indispensable engines for economic growth. The whole system, as it is now constituted, would simply collapse if the militarist shark didn't keep moving and feeding.)..."

More at salon .com but you can see what the WH is doing and why.

[bjobotts]

109. This is why the show must have such dramatic visual presentations

Rice and her bosses see it all as names and numbers on paper and words in their brains. They need to be covered in blood with dollar bills stuck to their bodies and oil dripping from their hair to grasp the reality of the insane policies that masquerade death, destruction, and torture as elements of democracy and a great nation.

But they will never see it as anything except personal liberal attacks. The nation is about to come unraveled at the frustration and failure of our leaders to do anything about the present Bush situation, which includes State dept and Rice, over the Iraq fiasco that the blood of well over a million Iraqis and Americans covers us in shame and yet it continues while those in power act as if their hands are clean and innocent. They need to see it up close and personal to get the point.

If there are 5 1/2 quarts of blood in the human body and multiply that by one million three thousand eight hundred it would equal 1,003,800 X 5.5 = enough blood to cover the republicans and many democrats engaged in this war profiteering for oil with no regard for human life. DC is swimming in blood while not suffering a scratch. Add to that torture, rendition, and imprisonment how could anyone possibly call this a Christian nation, a nation under God, with liberty and justice for all? Thank God this administration, Bush & co. republicans, don't represent the majority of Americans. How much longer till we are rid of them? I want my country back.

[bjobotts]

110. State department diplomacy in a single picture. She's just been paid off.

[DesEtoiles]

106. Reminds me of Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech painting - but modernized

[DesEtoiles]

107. Oh wah wah, Condi. Go buy some shoes.

[Pastiche423]

108. An awesome and courageous woman!

[FunMe]

112. 24%

Here's the reality folks. It does not matter that she was arrested along with some other Code Pink ladies. ONLY 24% support the selected queenie SELECTED prez bush. Yeah, sure the DC police acted FASCIST. But really folks, we have A LOT to be thankful to CODE PINK (and why I'm at it, MOVEON.ORG too!) These groups do a lot more than we do, God bless our good intentions. We type and type, send letters, emails and even call our DC reps. But these women have ACTIONS and are leading the way to getting our Democracy and government back. We could learn a lot from them, God bless them.

Again, think about it. What you see in the video may seem like FASCIST type tactics to "scare" Code Pink and us, but it won't work. The US government who have stole elections are in the MINORITY even despite the fact that we have ROLLOVER Dems like Reid and that SKANK pelosi acting like republicons. They have ONLY 24% support! It's not like the 1st war like Afghanistan or the 2nd like Iraq. NOW the majority of Americans are with us.

And what they did to this lady who was exercising her 1st amendment right is VERY simple:

they only helped the 24% supporting bush become EVEN smaller!


Living it and loving it!

GOD BLESS YOU CODE PINK!
I'm lighting an incense in your honor!

128. She has a difficult job

How about some respect? There are ways and forums in which to
express yourself. This accomplishes nothing but rouse the
people who are roused anyway. The Dems elected in 06 have the
power to stop the war now. Why not rub some blood on them? 

And I wish these Code Pink 'ladies' would stop claiming they
are doing this for the 'troops'...ALL VOLUNTEER ARMED FORCES,
people. Everyone there is there because they have chosen to
serve in the military. 

Don't forget about the good things we are doing there. These
code pink ladies should be thinking about all the men, women,
children and babies we saved and are saving over there...

Our military are heroes and George Bush is the greatest
president our nation has ever seen. 

God bless America.

129. No way. I commend the code pink group. Bush is a moron. Condi is an idiot.

131. Is Bush a Moron? Is Condi an Idiot?

How was he elected twice? Have you seen her resume? Can we get beyond these ridiculous characterizations? It has to be granted that these are two very talented people, even if you disagree with their positions. I mean, he is the President of the United States. You dont stumble into that. She was National Security Advisor. She IS Secretary of STATE. Pretty lofty achievement for an idiot.

133. loft achievement does not always equate with brilliance. Example - Bush the chimp is president

135. rofl

130. PHENOMENAL!!!!!

136. Blood drips from Condi's hands and she needs to SEE the Consequences

of her 'shoe shopping trips' and totally ineffectual/toadying polices at Dept. of State. No One has ever called 'Little Star' out on her great rise to fame at the hand and knees of the Bushies.

It's time someone showed her how she is viewed...outside the Department Store Window by Americans who are onto her "game and fame."
