1. You could tell how strongly they believed in what they were doing by how long it took to surrender
their signs.

Here! Take it!

6. It had nothing to do with your premise. They just did not
want to leave.

13. I am.
But the evidence of their conviction will be displayed by how loudly they protest without signs. It was actually quite funny to watch them reaching over other people in their attempt to comply with the order to give up the signs.

"Signs? We don't need no stinking signs!"

11. Do you know a single member of
CP?

Do you have a clue?

They spend what little money they have to travel to all different cities to protest and are arrested and then they have to appear for court dates 2 or 3 months later.

They handed over their signs because they want to stay and have a presence.

They do not attend these events without a plan.

12. Code Pink is the hardest working group I've ever known.
Obviously, giving over the signs was the better choice.

5. "Utterly pointless" describes Code Pink to a tee.
Spending their time targeting Democrats and making anti-war folks look like crazy kooks.

18. Because they are lunatics doing absolutely nothing but damage to their cause.
And who the fuck are you to tell anyone to shut the fuck up? Who fucking died and made you arbiter of who gets to talk and who doesn't?

19. They're not petitioning Congress, they're...
just pulling another PR stunt.

Aside from getting a lot of free press, just what significant accomplishments can they point to?
