not about human rights or even the war or even bush. these people want socialism and if possible outright communism they just use the war as a talking point. they want to destabilize america and install a soviet style government and its really funny that obama appeared and these assholes just faded away

You know, these slags always talk about making peace with Iran and shit, I think they should do a womens rights march there...then we can laugh our asses off when they get the beat down by Iranian cops...lol

This makes me sick. All they do is bitch about the Military. If there was no Military, they wouldn't have the freedom to be protesting.

@skinnyvinny........ Tell me this.... Where were you and these code pink ignorant bitches when Saddam was killing his own people.... Roughly 2 million during his time in power... Innocent men, woman, and children died because of Saddam... Or how about those innocent Kuwaiti people that died in the hands of Saddam's army? Why didn't you protest that???

skinnyvinny...no one gives a fuck what you say. code pink is the most annoying group i've ever seen. i swear to God all they do is fucking whine about america...you don't like it, get the hell out.

i hate code pink

Perhaps you'd be less glib about human rights if your children were being bombed in senseless war. Code Pink is wonderful political protest theater. They are more aware of the issues (none of which you don't cite, btw; such as torture and Geneva Convention and are actually voicing dissent rather than looking at a football game. Someone's gotta call the ROB-publicans out for what they are. Bush condones torture and steals the people's 700 billion to give to the rich Bank CEO thieves. Shame.

What happens when Obama becomes President and doesn't instantly take troops out of Iraq like promised? Are these bitchy people going to whine about him too? Get the fuck over it, it's life in America...
