What They Saw at the Code Pink Rally in DC on Monday
Code Pink held an anti-war rally in front of the White House on Monday to protest U.S. foreign policy and the Daily Caller was there. The short version of what they saw? Not much. As one of Code Pink's folks says, you could get millions out when President Bushitler was in office. With the wimp-factor-erasing, Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama running the show, not so much.
Reason.tv's coverage of DC rallies ranging from last fall's Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear to the first bit 9/12 Tea Party rally to Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor spectacle is below, in one easy-to-watch playlist:

Good lord that woman needs a chin implant even by the lowest standards of the british country side. Yikes!
OK, it was just the still. Damn but she is a offense to the eye though.
It is almost as if the people who showed up at those rallies were just partisans who really didn't care about the war. Well I never.
This is why I will throw that back in the face of TEAM BLUE douchebags who complain about the foreign wars that Obama has started or perpetuated.
George W. Bush. Now with more melanin!
Between David's tobacco pollution and Liz's noise pollution, I don't know how Obama can enjoy his golf game.
mission accomplished ! accelerate the drawdown to a sustainable level
Actually you are right. The only person who had anything to do with 9-11 who is not dead or in GUITMO is the number 2 guy from Egypt. And I suspect we will have him soon enough. Even if the Taliban were to take Afghanistan back after we leave, do you think they are going to be keen on the next Arab who shows up wanting to rent the place to plan attacks on the US? I don't think so.
And as for the Iraqis, they have had 8 years to get their act together. If they want to divide the country and start killing each other, that is their business.
Too bad they edited out the wideshot of the guy kicking the tumbleweed as it went past.
Admittedly, it does help me respect the intellectual honesty of someone like that woman from Code Pink more. Given that shew flew out from Arizona to protest war the day after Bin Laden was killed shows that she is truly anti-war. Respect.
True dat. Unfortunately, the vast majority at those peace rallies were hiding their Team Blue pom-poms under their signs.
Now we have right wing rednecks adopting left wing elitist rhetoric.
Hoo-wah!
"I think she's got a lot of valid points but those soldiers are there because of a pre-instated socio-economic structure."
Thomas Friedman couldn't have said it any better.
How else are our poor minority youth going to afford college and stay employed? If not for the military Industrial Complex?
Those folks actually do raise some very valid points. Wow.

It was nice to see Wanda Sykes finally getting another gig.
Obama: 1
Anti war movement: 0
That is all.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Hussein Obama. Never gets old. It just gets funnier.
He's still got a long way to go to catch up to me.
