is their apparent lack of knowledge when it comes to basic civics. Why don't these CODE PINK protesters ever hassle Congress? Congress is where all the legislation gets created and voted on. Republicans, in particular, are the reason why gay people cannot marry federally, and they're the reason why GITMO remains open. Yet instead, they're too busy heckling people who already support their causes.
These people are not cool at all.
