Americans Manhandled At Hearing (GBA!)

[Brassmask]

For no reason other than wearing hats.

In America, there is not removing Americans from public hearing on GP.

Oh wait, yes there is.

Yes, righties will try to make it about the one woman who should have been removed and ignore the women who were removed for no reason.

Their eternal shame.

"Blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands," the protester told Rice, who was President Bush's national security adviser when he decided to invade Iraq.

"War criminal! ... War Criminal!" the black-clad, "blood"-soaked protester screamed as authorities dragged her from a hearing room on Capitol Hill. "Take her to the Hague."

Rice was testifying to the House Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday, where she continued what some critics see as the Bush administration's drumbeat to war with Iran.

"We are very concerned that the policies of Iran constitute perhaps the single greatest challenge to American security interests in the Middle East and around the world," Rice said.

Although video of Wednesday's hearing shows only one protester getting in Rice's face, Capitol Police quickly removed several members of the anti-war group Code Pink who appeared to have caused no disturbance. (Code Pink members have disrupted administration officials' testimony in the past.)

"Stop, you're hurting me, what are you doing," one of the women yelled as she was forced from the Congressional hearing.

Poor baby

Poor baby

Yes, poor America.

I think "poor baby" meant Condi.    BT was very upset that she had to listen to a mere private citizen criticizing her performance.   Do you not understand how hurtful that can be for those who are anointed to lead your nation in its crusade against Islamofascism?

There are laws against disrupting committee meetings. Without these laws our government couldn't get anything done. We'd have every lunatic with a bone to pick disrupting important work of the government. They could have made fools of themselves legally by simply waiting outside and protesting out there.

for Pete Sake.

[BT]

Poor baby was aimed at the code pinkers.

It amazes me when people act uncivil and then expect to be treated civilly.

[Lanya]

Yes, like those uncivil tea throwers in Boston years ago.  So  disrespectful.

[BT]

I'm pretty sure the tea partyers did not complain like spoiled rotten little babies.

Rice was the least competent National Security Advisor in history, who permitted 9-11, and then she got kicked upstairs, where she has been about as useful as tits on a bull. To her credit, she has remained Black.

But Powell managed that, too, and eventually was even honest about Iraq, allbeit far too late.

Condi's memoirs are all that remain of her, then she will fade into a well-earned obscurity.
