AMY GOODMAN: Activists from the antiwar group CodePink attempted to perform a citizen’s arrest of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger when he arrived Thursday to testify on global security challenges at a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting. Kissinger served as secretary of state and national security adviser during the Vietnam War under presidents Nixon and Ford.

CODEPINK PROTESTERS: Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes! Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes!

SEN. JOHN McCAIN: The committee will stand in recess until the Capitol police will restore order.

CODEPINK PROTESTERS: Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes! Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes!

MEDEA BENJAMIN: In the name of the people of Chile, in the name of the people of Vietnam, in the name of the people of East Timor, in the name of people of Cambodia, in the name of the people of Laos.

AMY GOODMAN: Senator John McCain lashed out at the protesters and called on the Capitol Hill Police to remove them.

SEN. JOHN McCAIN: I’ve been a member of this committee for many years, and I have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place about—you know, you’re going to have to shut up, or I’m going to have you arrested. … Get out of here, you low-life scum.

1. It was a disgusting display on McCain's part.

The lawless government of the U.S. is despicable.

Warmongers receive Nobel Peace prizes while the anti war protesters are arrested and called low life scum.

The government of the U.S. is so corrupt and fucked up I don't know if it can be salvaged.

4. Particularly since he had no response when a ReTHUG shouted

out 'you lie' to the President at the State of the Union.

2. Kissinger should have been tried, convicted and hanged

for crimes against humanity 30 years ago.

Shut up, McCain.

3. low life scum indeed

Given John McCain's VP pick during his quest for the Presidency, he obviously likes certain low life scum, like Sarah Palin for example. Maybe he just does not like articulate low life scum like Medea Benjamin.

5. McCain like most Pukes is given to projection.

Kissinger is just a stone cold killer war criminal who relies on low life scum like reverse ace McCain to protect him.

[Oilwellian]

6. Typical republican...projecting

They do it all of the time.

7. Too bad it wasn't a successful arrest.

I'm glad people like Code Pink are around to make sure that the world doesn't forget what that monster has done. The fact that people in our government listen to Kissenger's advice about anything is nauseating.

[woo me with science]

8. Thank you.
