Code Pink attempts to disrupt Palin speech, fails miserably
2008-09-04
Two activists of the womenÂ’s peace group CODEPINK attempted to disrupted Sarah PalinÂ’s speech tonight at the Republican National Convention when they approached the stage where Palin was speaking,
in reckless disregard of their own lives. However, before Sarah could attack,
security then grabbed Benjamin and Evans and escorted them one at a time out of the St. Paul Xcel Center,
thereby sparing their wretched lives
where they were held until the end of the PalinÂ’s speech and told they would be arrested if they tried to reenter.

#13  Someone said on another blog that they suspect someone in the media gave them passes.

Find out which media and ban them from the event altogether. This has to stop - these alledged women could easily have been carrying something dangerous or biological (which they would have no problems planting near the potium).

#12  I agree that the most probable way they got in was by using media passes.
We should learn who this media person was and disbar him or her(or whatever it's called for the media)for doing so.
This breach in security is huge. This media person should also be held responsible for the cost of the security manpower used to deal with this as well.

One can only hope the Obama campaign will quickly throw her off the bus. That the money will be sent back would have been entirely too much to expect even before the namimg of Palin brought in well over $10 million. Now Obama neeeeeeds the extra money.

#7  The first thing I ask bo supporters is why do you support him? They say "Change" nothing more.

When asked second about their voting colleagues' behavior they say it is bad for sure but it is just a few nuts nothing more.

Continuing with a third the craven says bring up this quandry nevermore.

#4  How did they get in? You need an appropriate pass to get into the building. How the hell does Code Pink manage (still!) to get passes to Republican events?

#1  I saw a very brief shot of about 4 burly security types hauling one of these fascist buffoons out of the hall. Palin appeared not to notice at all.
