I've never seen anything like this. Very effective. Thank you Code Pink!

8. The problem is...

The problem is, neither Code Pink or anyone else could possibly do more harm to the NRA (in PR terms) than the shit that comes out of Wayne Lapierre's mouth.

12. I was thinking the same thing

It seemed like they were everywhere protesting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and then for some reason just about disappeared very early in '09.

This is great, though. Glad to see them back
