[Bensthename]

1. I guess Sara didnt win over all the women in the room.

[merh]

[NYC Liberal]

4. Protestor at the Repug convention. nt

[Muttocracy]

8. one of the Code Pinkers being removed. nt

[Pachamama]

30. Not just any C ode Pinker - that was the founder Medea Benjamin

I'm surprised they even let her within a mile of the convention, let alone inside.

[Muttocracy]

31. oh, I know her voice from Democracy Now but not her picture

and I agree with you - if she can get in, in that getup, what kind of security do GOPers run?

[BrklynLiberal]

39. Yep. That is Medea Benjamin, herself!!!!

[merh]

33. Being removed, how about being assaulted.

They can escort her out, but putting their hands over her mouth like that is an assault.

[Muttocracy]

37. correct. nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. Little bitty woman terrorizing those great big men. You GO, Medea!!!!

[quiet.american]

3. Chilling not only for women, but for American citizens.

This is the true logo of the Republican Party.

[LynnTheDem]

5. Silencing people is The American Way.

As are extraordinary renditions, torture, murder...

[elleng]

6. BUT BUT,

do we have any more info?

[WA98070]

7. I hope she bit hard.

[NYC_SKP]

9. How did Code Pink get into the convention???

I think it's awesome that they got past security thugs.

Yeah, I trust my national security to a bunch that can't even run security on their own private circle jerk.

[GreenPartyVoter]

47. They had to have worn something over the dresses, maybe wigs too?

[NYC_SKP]

52. They're clever, probably just a dress over their clothes...

I love 'em!

:hi:

[Tunkamerica]

10. That guy's looking at her ass!!!

no wait.. he's just pressing a taser to her back.

[Hailtothechimp]

11. Perhaps not, but I'll try one anyway

"Woman, know thy place!!!"

[patrice]

25. Good one.

[Wilms]

12. Is that Cheney with his back to us?

:shrug:

[NYC Liberal]

13. Nah....

Too much hair

[Honeycombe8]

23. Yes. He's telling her to keep off his lawn! nt

[cwydro]

28. my first thought too. nt

[Egnever]

14. um thats not bohnyor or bonner or whatever the pukes name is

is it?

[EmilyAnne]

15. Wow. That's horrible. Its a poster-ready image!

What was she doing? Was she just holding a sign or was she screaming?
Does anyone know who that person is and if she was arrested?

As a side note, I was really scratching my head last week when people on this board were attacking the Code Pinkers who showed up at the DNC.

[truedelphi]

49. You say:

###

Yeah, I was too. We always need some people to speak real truth to the types of Corporate Enslavers that show up at both conventions.

[Merlot]

16. Just how many thugs does it take to silence a 90 lb woman???

[HowHasItComeToThis]

22. SHE IS A PINK LADY

[Webster Green]

17. Medea Benjamin Rocks!

Code Pink Rocks! :thumbsup:

[pimpbot]

18. Got anymore pics? Hopefully they had another person filming

Always gotta have evidance against these lying bastards. If its not on tape its like it never happened.

[NYC Liberal]

26. Here you go:

[patrice]

19. I hope she called them "Murderers!!!"

[cwydro]

20. Hope that makes a paper somewhere.

Or is taped.

Where did you find it?

[southerncrone]

21. CSpan even showed them taking her out during Palin's speech....

I was really surprised by that.

[tbyg52]

41. So did PBS (I don't get cable). nt

[Bread and Circus]

24. That's the true silencing of women....good job RNC...aint fascism great!!

[kristopher]

27. Thrown over girlfriend wanting one last chance? nt

[Muttocracy]

29. another thread with more photos of the big guys and brave tiny women

[The Craw]

32. Remember, dissent is a threat to freedom

in the Orwellian bizzaroworld that Bush jr has created...

God help us...

[GrizzlyMan]

34. At first I thought it was someone getting "saved" on the convention floor

And honestly, I didn't bat an eye. YOu'd figure that would be commonplace at a Repug convention.

[backscatter712]

35. How'd she get in?

I'm surprised the GOP's Gestapo let her within a mile of the Xcel Center.

[kwolf68]

36. While I think it's cool she got in...

I agree she needed to be removed. The RNC is a private function and they don't need distractors.

I wouldn't want some asshole like james dobson at the DNC yelling and screaming while our people were giving speeches. So they should be allowed to give speeches without distraction, as horrible as they may be.

These people YES are dangerous and bordering on fascist, but I don't think it's because the Code Pink lady got bounced.

[democrat2thecore]

43. I agree - this is silly. Like we would have let somebody scream during Biden's speech? -nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

51. Removal is one thing...

There was no need for that asshole to put his hand over her mouth.

[mb7588a]

38. I reckon that's Code Pink's founder, Medea Benjamin

[mogster]

40. "No free speech here" n/t

[butterfly77]

42. KICK! and recommended...

[Stern21]

44. The picture should be captioned: How Republicans Reward Dissent. n/t

[Lilith Velkor]

45. .

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. She represents every American woman...

...and he represents every rethuglican male.

No woman can truly be represented by the thug party, unless they're willing to accept a deferential role to white men. Plain and simple, there it is.

[Arugula Latte]

50. The suit, the watch, Mr. Corporate

:scared:
