Remember Code PINK? The radical leftist group that supposedly assembled to protest the wars? They heckled and harassed President Bush for much of his term and disrupted meetings of Congress numerous times during the Bush Administration. They even snuck into--and got thrown out of--several elite political functions, all to protest our involvement in two wars and the continued operation of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
At least they pretended that's what they were protesting.
You see, as soon as Barack Obama took office, Code PINK rolled up their banners and took off their pink t-shirts and went into hibernation. Now here we are, three years later. Guantanamo is still open and now we're involved in three wars, not two, and Code Pink's little band of bitter women, effeminate males and a few transsexuals apparently doesn't care any more. This is more than a little bit telling about their actual motives and the desires of their big-money backers behind the scenes. They can't protest Obama, even though militarily, he's following the Bush plans to the letter. Obama, you see, is their guy. But don't you worry. As soon as 2013 rolls around and the new Republican president takes office, they'll be right out there in front of the White House demanding that he end "his" wars immediately. And by "his", I mean the wars that Obama oversaw without objection from the loons on the left.
So what are the pinkos doing these days just to stay active?
Well they've taken up the cause of Hamas in Gaza, gushed admiration for Hugo Chavez, and interrupted Prime Minister Netanyahu when he tried to speak to Congress. But apparently that didn't get them enough press, so now they're deliberately getting arrested at the Jefferson Memorial by deliberately dancing and causing a disruption inside the monument itself, one of the few small places in demonstration-friendly Washington, DC where demonstrations of any kind are not allowed.
This is the best that Code Pink can do now that Obama is in power and George Soros or the Democrats have ordered an end to their protesting the wars? Seriously?

When "Over My Dead Body!" isn't Just a Saying...
The angry Left is very well-known for trying to impose their chosen lifestyle on the rest of us, either insisting that we stop doing things that they personally don’t like or demanding that we all live as they want to live. They’re really good at putting their foot down and trying to block other people’s chosen way of living, but sometimes they tend to get carried away and go just that one step too far. And as examples, I bring you this list of loony lefties who overdid things just a tad, typically in ways that also qualified them for the Darwin Awards:
Diana Cushing Canning and Anthony Hernandez, both of California. On October 26, 2002, Canning and Hernandez basically knocked their own heads off as they were traveling through San Francisco in a converted school bus with their heads sticking up through a skylight. The skylight hit an overhanging concrete slab at the end of a tunnel, killing both of them. Canning and Hernandez were among two dozen passengers in the bus, en route to a demonstration against a possible war against Iraq. Another passenger in the bus said Hernandez and Canning had previously been asked to sit down while passing through the tunnel.
Rachel Corrie. In January of 2003, this over-indulged kid from Olympia Washington took a break from attending college courses and went to Israel. While there, she basically devoted herself full-time to protesting Israel and America and even burned American flags in front of cheering crowds of Hamas types. On March 16, she decided to stand in front of bulldozers that were removing structures that had been used by Palestinian terrorists and she wound up beneath one. “We were really surprised,” said one of her fellow useful idiot friends. “They’ve always stopped before.” Apparently they’d done this several times previously, but this time the operator of the machine didn’t see Rachel and she was inadvertently transformed into a human pancake.
Sebastien Briat, 21, from Meuse, France, In November of 2004, Sebastien chained himself to railroad tracks in that country to try to stop a train carrying nuclear materials. He rather stupidly chained himself to the tracks before the train actually stopped and placed himself just past a curve where the engineer was unable to see him until it was too late. Briat’s fellow morons said that Briat was “surprised by the train”, which ran him over, killing him. Surprise, asshole.
Tristan Anderson, 37, from California. Another trust-fund kid with no real purpose in life. He was struck in the head by a tear gas grenade on March 16, 2009 while throwing rocks at Israeli workers and soldiers who were building a security fence in Israel’s West bank. Like Rachel Corrie, Anderson was a member of the leftist “International Solidarity Movement”, a Palestinian front group that supports actions against Israel and the United States, mainly by recruiting spoiled rich American kids with low self-esteem and defective moral compasses.
Honorable mention: Weston Reidhead.
In the “hopefully he gets it right the next time” category, we have Weston.
On October 23, 1997, during an on-going campaign to stop a "salvage rider" timber sale in a wild, remote part of Northern California, Weston Reidhead was hit by a log truck on Sidewinder Road. Weston, born into a logging family in Southern Utah, was blockading one of the main haul roads for the controversial Outside timber sale in the Klamath National Forest, twenty miles south of Happy Camp. The log truck driver stopped his truck when he saw Weston in the road.
"The truck was stopped in the road and I was in front of it, yelling at the driver not to move, that I was under his tire. He called my bluff, but I wasn't bluffing," Weston stated after his feet were crushed by the truck's tires. Weston was transported by ambulance to
the emergency medical center in Yreka, and was treated for broken bones and lacerations on his ankle and feet. Weston only gets honorable mention since he didn't actually succeed in killing himself. As of the last report, he was still unable to walk and uses a wheelchair, or crawls on his knees.
Hey Weston, here’s a bit of advice: next time, put your head under the tires. That’ll show ‘em you mean business. Idiot.
Naturally, the left has lionized all of these fools. I don't condemn them for that, but I do wish that more leftists, to include Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink harridans, would try a little harder to emulate them. Hey Code Pinkos--just a suggestion, but you could probably get a lot of attention if you all locked yourself together with a big, heavy pink chain and jumped off of the 14th Street Bridge into the Potomac...

A hero recieves his due once more
Well it's good to see that American hero Danny Dietz is still recieving recognition in his hometown for his selfless sacrifice in Afgahnistan. 
Long-time readers here may recall my earlier story about the attempt by local members of the VFW to place a statue honoring Dietz in a city park only to have anti-war, anti-gun and anti-American fruitbats like Emily Cassidy and Linda Cuesta start protesting it and circulating flyers and petitions in opposition because they thought that the statue glorified war and guns.
Fortunately the lemon-suckers lost their fight and that statue was placed and dedicated before a large crowd of patriotic Americans, including members of the military and the Dietz family.

LITTLETON, Colo.—State officials and family members of slain Colorado Navy SEAL Danny Dietz will help dedicate a stretch of South Santa Fe Drive in the commando's honor.If I had my way, those who have attacked and undermined our war effort and vilified our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines abroad would be forever barred from driving or riding on the section of roadway. And I would specifically bar Emily Cassidy, Linda Cuesta, John Murtha, and any past or present member or supporter of groups like Code Pink.
The ceremony was planned for 10 a.m. Tuesday at Vanderbilt Park, North of Mississippi Avenue. The stretch of Santa Fe Drive from the intersection with Interstate 25 to C-470 will be named Petty Officer Danny Dietz Memorial Highway.
Dietz grew up in Littleton and graduated from Heritage High School in 1999. He was killed in 2005 in Afghanistan in a gun battle with Taliban forces when his unit was ambushed.
The military says Dietz fought off attackers for more than 45 minutes, allowing one of his team members to escape. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the Navy's second-highest medal.

Sometimes, "Get back" really means "get back".
Just because I felt like sharing the laugh today, here's a video from the Democratic National Convention in Denver. It shows one of the spoiled little suburban white girls from the Anti-American group CODE PINK tussling with a Denver Police officer and taunting him while grabbing his baton... just before she gets her just desserts.
The video was shot by a cameraman for the Rocky Mountain News and inadvertently caught the end of little Alicia's dumb play. The first female voice you here in the video is hers...the one challenging the officer to "F'ing do it again!"
Now some liberals are all upset about this, and predictably the patchouli-reeking dopers in the so-called "protest movement" are livid, but normal Americans don't have a problem with this, especially once they learn that it started when the police were effecting a lawful arrest of another "peaceful protester" for an assault. Alicia, no doubt feeling safe with cameras all around, decided to go for her 15 minutes of fame and attempted to interfere with the arrest of the person that she supposedly didn't even know. (In the world of the lunatic left, anyone getting arrested for anything is a kindred soul.) The police officers told Alica and others to move back, holding their batons horizontally in front of them to effect a barrier. Little Alicia refused, putting her hands on the officer's baton. I guess she figured that her little pink paper crown made her a real princess or something. The officer pushed her back firmly but gently, and that when Mrs. Forrest's little potty-mouthed child screamed "F'ing do it again!" and tried to wrench the baton from the officer's grasp. The officer responded, and Alicia hit the ground like a sack of limp tofu while all around her, other gutter punks began shouting obscenities. (That crowd always spews profanity, probably because all the dope they ingest robs them of the intellectual capacity to form cogent sentences or otherwise communicate like grown human beings.)
A few moments later, when Alicia decides that there's no more benefit to be gained by pretending to be mortally injured, she pops up, seeks out a camera, and begins to give a press conference. At this time, officers move in and arrest her for interfering with the earlier arrest.
The loony left screamed bloody murder about this, because while they demand the right to throw feces, vandalize cars, break shop windows and otherwise act like total savages, they object when the authority responds with any force whatsoever. They barraged the District Attorney with demands that the officer be charged with some crime, but it ended happily when the DA decided that the officer won't be charged as the force applied was justified by Forrest's aggression.
Maybe if little Princess Alicia's parents had spanked her as a child when she became disrespectful and defiant, the Denver Police Department wouldn't have had to do it on the streets of Denver.

And since we're discussing Liberal attention whores...
We can't overlook this protest by Medea "Hey, look at me!" Benjamin. (Thanks to Aaron at The Shekel. I can't believe that I missed it.)
Apparently this founder of Code Pink and other anti-American protests has gotten tired of hanging around the US Capitol with her little pink crown on her head, daring Capitol Police to remove her from yet another session of Congress.
Benjamin and fellow America-hater Ann Wright are now protesting Canada because Canada has a policy against allowing criminals to cross into their country and it effectively bars her and other Code Pinkos from entering the Land of Molson due to their American criminal records. (I have to correct the source news story--they aren't "peace activists"--they're juvenile and disruptive women who act up to get on TV, but only in America where it's safe. Real peace activists operate in places like Africa or Iraq.)
You see, Benjamin and Wright have criminal records for their illegal activities in Washington DC and other places where they dared police to arrest them (and sometimes begged for it because there were cameras nearby) for things like Disorderly Conduct, Disruption of Congress, Trespassing, ect. It was always "cool" and "fun" for Benjamin and her Code Pink pals to get locked up, even if it does tie up police and courts and cost the taxpayers money. But now there's an albeit minor cost--the arrest records block them from going to Canada because Canada doesn't care for people who don't know how to behave. (Note: This is an official KUDO to Canada here...I usually bash them when they're wrong so now I'm praising them for doing something smart.)
From the story:
So what are Benjamin and Wright doing now? You guessed it--protesting Canada!
These girls really need to get husbands and just settle down. No one's buying their "victimized by the system" act any more.

From the story:
The arrests landed Benjamin's and Wright's names in an FBI-run database, the National Crime Information Center, which Canada also relies on to screen visitors. When the two women visited the country in August, they were told they would have to apply for "criminal rehabilitation" and pay $200 if they wanted to visit again. Neither did.
On Wednesday, Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, and Wright, a retired Army colonel, walked into Canada at Niagara Falls to test whether they really would be denied entry because of their anti-war-related arrests.
They were.
So what are Benjamin and Wright doing now? You guessed it--protesting Canada!
These girls really need to get husbands and just settle down. No one's buying their "victimized by the system" act any more.

Code Pink psychopaths disrupt Congress yet again
Showing us exactly how much actual substance that their arguments have, members of the small radical "look-at-me" club known as Code Pink entertained themselves by acting like fools in yet another Congressional hearing where General Petraeus was trying to brief Congress and the rest of America on the war in Iraq.
Video here
Now I don't have a problem with people who want to express their views in a peaceful and respectful manner. Our Constitution grants everyone that right and that's what makes America such a great place. However these fools have no intention of being peaceful or respectful of anyone, nor do they even wish to put their opinions out in the intellectual arena for people to consider alongside other peoples' opinions. Instead, as the video shows, they just want to act obnoxious and prevent anyone else from getting a message out by shutting down public forums whenever they can get into one. And that's the total antithesis of what our First Amendment is all about. If Cindy Sheehan and her cartoon-character followers had intelligent things to say, they could express their views in ways that would still allow others to speak and be heard and they would not have to try to stifle everyone else to ensure that they and they alone obtain the attention of whatever media is present. But they have nothing to say and they know it, and that's why they act stupid and waste the time of so many police officers and court staff (who all have better things to do) by demanding to be arrested every time there's a news crew within a hundred yards. These people need to brush up on the whole concept of a "free exchange of ideas" and work on putting together cogent opinions and expressing them in ways that respect the rights of others. I doubt that they will however, because they seem to enjoy the celebrity status that they confer on each other within their own tiny circle of nutters and that appears to be more important than actually winning thinking people over to their point of view.
If these folks were really serious about their efforts instead of just playing around, they'd sell their possessions and pool the money to buy ads on billboards and in newspapers or on TV and actually try to sway people. But they aren't serious. They just want to get people to look at them so that they can claim to be doing something without actually doing anything or sacrificing anything. As it stands, they strike me as nothing more than squirrel bait.
