[They_LIHOP]

8. Yup, she sure did...

Singled her out and snatched her, just like the bad ol' days in the US when they would always grab the 'leaders' of the protesters.

Think the FBI has a file on her? Naaaah...

Hoover and McCarthy are partying down in hell right now!

Some of them will never be able to make bail.

11. Code Pink is awesome!!!

I remember the big "pink slip" they hung in Century City.

I'm sooo proud of you today!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Jodi for head of Homeland Security!!!

[DURHAM D]

15. How did they get past security ?

[liberalmuse]

16. I love her!

IMO, the protestors are heros. I'm just glad that they are backed by a rather large and well-known org like Code Pink. They are a rather large org and she will have a damn good attorney, if needed.

No one was thinking about the speech after that interuption. They were anticipating more mayhem. Awesome! To me, that was tantamount to a lightening bolt from god. Okay, not quite, but close enough!

[harper]

17. It was the only bright spot of the evening

Not that she got hauled out and arrested, but that she had the guts to protest the hate fest in the first place. God bless her and the Code Pink ladies.
