The Hill, the traditionally conservative newspaper on Capitol Hill, is reporting that CodePink will be staging a protest of the Iraq War in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's personal office in the Cannon building at 4:00pm.
There are two things so blatently stupid about this particular protest: 1) I believe that Speaker Pelosi supports their cause, so can this really be classified as a protest, or just an afternoon with a friend? 2) Wouldn't you want to maybe lobby someone rather than squat in their office? All this is to me is a black-eye to the anti-war community. Actions like these reflect negatively on these organizations in the eyes of Congress and the American people. Congress should be a place of compromise and intelligent discussion, rather than a sit in protest just asking to be arrested in a sympathetic office. Let's end this war better than the way King George started it. Let's do it with truth and fact rather than stupid pressure to friendly faces.
This organizations have some decent causes, but the way they express themselves borders on insanity. They frequently use people associated with their cause, like Cindy Sheehan, and turn them into martyrs for a cause to get attention for themselves. Isn't that just as bad as some of the games the Republicans play. Please...
