6. No, they make us look brave. |
|
That was a courageous act. Just like CodePink in D.C. and IVAW. They are willing to go out on a limb to bring attention to horrific things going on in this country and elsewhere.

13. Wow, you are being soundly chastised-I happen to agree with you |
|
It makes no sense to pull these kind of stunts when we are trying to have the powers that be pay attention to us as adults, with adult behavior and an adult agenda. It's funny, but it DOES NOT advance our case.

19. Oh... do tell me this case we are advancing? |
|
I like all this talk about what we should be doing. In the mean time, what case is being advanced when these people are still getting away with their crime?
And isn't it time we quit running scared because we are afraid of the consequences of actions as brave as hers?
I'm just tired of this, be nice so they are nice and don't bite our head off. And, no, we shouldn't hold off till our party is in charge or has more influence. If we are going to be in control, then this action from this woman shouldn't bring any harm top our party... now should it?

22. No matter what we do THEY will find fault. Our actions shouldn't be |
|
predicated upon how THEY will view us. Fuck THEM. I bet this action by this woman gave us, as the rabble, some mileage. I bet Rove got a little nervous and perhaps has a bad dream or two. I bet this action made a few of THOSE criminals, and they know who they are, I bet it made them uneasy. THEY don't like it when we get brazen. It makes them nervous. I bet if Obama and his wife see this video, they'll get a great big chuckle out of it.

28. No, I don't want to be nice either, but if you think that a stunt like that |
|
will further any sort of justice, then you are very naive. Our legislators are the ones that need to have their asses kicked. They are the ones that have to take action. Acting scary to Karl Rove justs makes her look like a wingnut and you would have said the same thing had the tables been turned.

24. I agree. Arrest is violent. Same tactic may be used against US when Dems in power. |
|
Except the right-wingers would use thugs, and will go on Fox News and talk about Sauce for Goose is Sauce for Gander, and how unfair it is for President Obama to complain when his own supporters did the same thing.
I also didn't like Code Pink's bloody hands confrontation of Condi Rice at a Congressional hearing. Again, a little too close to assault.
We have to fight. But I don't think we want to be the ones to escalate the fight into theatrical or real violence. I'm worried enough about right-wing political violence in the Obama era.
That said, I respect Code Pink for their courage. They're definitely on the right side. And they seem like smart, attractive, and spirited people. I just have doubts about the tactic that involve near or attempted assault or close physical confrontation.
