TIGARD — Demonstrator began arriving outside the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tigard at about 5:30 p.m. Friday afternoon anticipating the arrival of Presidential Advisor Karl Rove who was scheduled to give a one hour speech at a meeting of the Washington County Republican Party.

Drivers in cars on Hall Boulevard honked and waved either in encouragement, or with disgust, at the mostly anti-administration marchers. A group of local high school students arrived at about 7 p.m. to show their support for President Bush and his advisor Rove.

Teresa Teater from Oregon City walked back and forth along the sidewalk where police asked the demonstrators stay, along with her friends to demonstrate their feelings about the administration. Asked why she was here this evening she said, “I have issues with Karl Rove.”

A group of women that go by the name The Surge Protection Brigade, and who are allied with Code Pink, another women’s anti-war protest group that became well known for surprise demonstrations at the Republican Convention in New York during the last election cycle, executed their own surprise demonstration deep in the Republican’s territory staked out in the Embassy Suites Hotel.

5. For all the Code Pink Swiftboaters here, take NOTE: Karl, you've got mail. Hand it over.

This is PRECIOUS!

snip:Noting a week ago that there was a hotel restaurant, a women in The Surge Protection Brigade reserved a table for a birthday party at the restaurant. All the women arrived carrying colorfully wrapped presents, were sat down and they ordered dinner. Another four people joined them after they arrived, making 16 in all.

After enjoying their meal and just after Karl Rove began speaking to the Republican Party members, the women unwrapped their presents, really protest signs and a costume to be worn by one of them.

They got as far as the doors to the meeting room where Rove was speaking before the police moved in and escorted them out to the sidewalk along Hall Boulevard where the rest of the demonstrators were marching.

Cristy Murray from Oregon City, a member of The Surge Protection Brigade, said they were there to “let Karl Rove know that he is not welcome in our town.”

She said, “We had a very nice dinner and then we went over to let our feelings be known.”

One of the group while at the doorway read a list of “charges” in which they were indicting Karl Rove and held up a sign that read “Karl, you’ve got mail. Hand it over.”

10. Code Pink Swiftboaters?

11. The small party anti-CodePink DUers

that were ranting against them in the past weeks because they
also target high profile dems.

They were claiming that CodePink never goes after 'pukes.

13. I wrote Code Pink and told them not to picket Pelosi's house in Pacific Heights

I thought that they were way off-message with that one. I cannot imagine who would say that Code Pink did not go after the 'pukes. How did that budget vote go, anyway?

15. Go after your adversaries noisily

Go after your allies quietly.

That's where Code Pink goes wrong.
