Code Pink Targets Clinton

Share

March 27, 2007 11:31 AM

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Anger with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., over the Iraq war has bubbled up again from the activist group, Code Pink. 

Five members of Code Pink with signs that read 'No War' were in attendance at the legislative-political conference of the Communications Workers of America being held in Washington.

Prior to the protest, the members stood quietly in the hotel ball room for the speeches of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.

With Clinton's speech approaching, CWA began to fear that they were going to disrupt her speech so hotel security was asked to speak with them.

The code pink members broke into a peace chant with some of them complaining that "this was all about Hillary Clinton."

A small group of CWA members supporting the protestors began to chant "let them stay". A larger group of CWA members began to chant "Go see Bush."

Prior to Clinton's speech, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., spoke before Clinton and acknowledged the protestors saying that "they are with them."

So who are these guys gonna vote for? They've protested against both Democrats and Republicans. Who else is there, with a snowball's chance in h3ll, gonna vote for?

I find it incredibly frustrating that Code Pink is targeting Democrats, especially women, who actually want to end the war. Hillary has already introduced legislation to end the war and Nancy Pelosi is the one that got the House together to pass the resolution setting a deadline. They are doing a disservice to their cause and will only lose credibility if they continue. If they truly want to end this war, they should be protesting outside the WH. After all, he's the only one that can actually stop the war.

Hillary make her mistake of judgement in voting. That is done.
I like that Code Pink is making her pay for it.
and hopefully disrupting her campaign.
I am a democrat and dread Hillary getting the nomination.

It's a shame that the Democratic party is being fragmented by the extreme left again. They aren't, can't and will never be the majority. If they truly want to change things, they have to be willing to work together with the more moderate faction of the Democratic party and keep the focus on getting the Presidency back and ending the war in Iraq. I think most Americans feel this is the most pressing issue facing this country right now. All the infighting just benefits the Republicans. Change only comes through persistence, solidarity and the ability to compromise sometimes. You simply can't have it all your way, that's what caused the Republicans to lose control of Congress in the first place. We can't afford to take a step back, we must keep moving forward.

"Out at any cost", is not only unrealistic but comes very close to being un-American. G-dub is our president, and he broke it, so we all must pay. Doesn't America have a responsibility to the world? Each and every life lost, be it US, ally or collateral damage is worth exactly the same and the world demands this be made right.

Why the Hillary harangue ? So NOW people don't approve of her pro-war vote. Not so far back,the country was pro-war; the climate one of moral outrage and military come-uppance. Hillary may not have voted her conscience. It is most likely she took the most expedient political route and voted the majority opinion of her constituency (her future electorate). So before we (the Majority)go throwing stones at Ms CLinton we need to ask ourselves why we were so gullible in the first place to believe the administration's petulant "demonizing-Saddam" propoganda. Perhaps, Vietnam, Panama and HELLO!, Afghanistan (suddenly & conveniently put on the backburner), were forgotten in the mad dash to topple the evil dictator (Reagan saw to the evil empire)& restore sanity and peace of mind to a distraught world. So look where that got us. Again.

Code Pink is wasting their effort. The GOP is the real enemy of the gays, but you wouldn't know it by their actions, it seems so many of them are closeted homosexuals, but don't mind gay bashing neverthless.
