Was the Code Pink guy in the Plame hearing a plant?

[trumad]

I think the performance by this individual was so overboard that it had to be staged. Here's a screen capture of the dude and a YouTube. You be the judge.

2. CNN video: "Ex-Sailor in pink steals Plame Wilson show"

It is on the top right side under "Latest News" at www.cnn.com

I watched the whole video. Very distracting and disrespectful. This was a serious hearing and the focus should have stayed on Plame.

I wish Code Pink would pick more carefully what events they attend to protest. This wasn't one of them.

5. Hey

It got them a segment on CNN in primetime. If the MSM will not show thousands of people in the street I have no problem with getting the message out however it can be done. Part of me that was raised with the good manners mantra ( I am 50 yo)is uncomfortable with it but the outraged part of me says, "yes!".

Disclosure, I am a member of the local code pink in Orlando.

9. It's not an issue of manners, it's an issue of effective advocacy.

Do you really think anyone was swayed by that?

14. Awesome!

Thanks for posting the video. I am not a Code Pinker but I support everything they do and this publicity is great for them.

17. why does the msm and others assume we cannot split focus, or multi-task? I was perfectly able to

hear VPW's testimony, and look at the person in pink, without any difficulty whatsoever.

and exactly WHAT is the problem with seeing an "impeach bush" t-shirt at a hearing that is, in essence, all about the lies and corruption of the bush maladministration?

4. I thought you were asking if the Code Pink Guy at the hearing

was listening to a plant.

I love the English language.

6. Kinda makes

the title of this thread X-rated, doesn't it?

[goodhue]

7. Her name in Midge Potts and she is not a plant

Her presence may have been ill-advised but was no doubt entirely sincere.

[liberalnurse]

15. How do you know that

Midge was sincere? I fail to feel that Midge was anything but selfish. Help me see the light.

[Beelzebud]

16. Yeah she sincerely wanted to make a joke of the hearing, and nearly succeeded.

[Individualist]

8. Midge was certainly doing everything

she could to focus attention on herself rather than Valerie. And why didn't she continue those antics when Toensing was testifying?!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. I think they were evicted from the room after Valerie testified. They started to chant something. nt

[goodhue]

11. Yes, they chanted Impeach Now or some such thing

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. No she is a friend of mine

and she is not a plant. LOL

[MazeRat7]

13. Naaa... I'm guessing vegetable...definately not a plant. -nt
