Code Pinko parade in Pakistan
Code Pinko Medea Benjamin made herself a global pain in the neck and lives to whine about it:
Pakistan authorities today ordered the deportation of the leader of the feminist U.S. antiwar group Code Pink, who was in Lahore to join protests against the emergency rule imposed by President Pervez Musharraf, according to a spokeswoman for the group.
Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the group, said she was arrested at a student demonstration by agents of the Pakistan Inter-Service Intelligence and detained for about four hours before being released with orders to leave the country tomorrow morning. Pakistan officials told Ms. Benjamin that she was being deported for joining illegal protests.
“I’m OK — a little shaken up,” Ms. Benjamin told The Washington Times by telephone from her hotel in Lahore. “They mistreated us.”
Ms. Benjamin said she feared for her life as the agents held her at gunpoint in a car speeding through the city to the police station.
“I thought I was going to die in the car,” she said. “They totally terrorized us.”
Pakistani authorities also detained and then ordered the deportation of Tighe Barry, a longtime Code Pink activist who was participating with the student rally outside the Lahore Press Club.
Can Pakistan deport them to Venezuela now? Medea hearts Hugo, after all.
For her part, Nancy Pelosi was just glad they found someone else’s property to trample.

I guess some places don’t have the tolerance for stupidity we have developed here.
Well I’m glad nothing happened to the nut. But should she faced major problems, who would they turn to first?
Can’t they keep them?
I wonder if this would give Code Pink a better appreciation of freedom of speech here?
What makes them think we want them back.
Nah…they hate America. We’re evil and awful.
In the dictonary, there should be a big color picture of her under the colloquialism “Ignorant Moron”.
Example of Irony:
FIRST Americans want to start doing a better job of protecting the border so illegal aliens hold open air protests. We do nothing to them.
THEN Medea gets kicked out of Pakistan (apparently at gunpoint) for joining an “illegal protest”.
BUT over at the DKos they will tell you over and over again all about the free speech rights they’ve lost becuase Bush is president.
Looking for a clue…
Do we have to take them back?
Please keep them Pakistan.
Just have to laugh a little bit when they start whining about loss of free speech here in America, yet they are ALWAYS yapping on about how they have no voice. You have a voice pinko, just not many people want to hear it.
Where is a Caterpillar D-9 when you really need one?
As someone on another blog said, it’s ironic to see them rely so heavily on their U.S. citizenship when - for the remaining 364 days of the year - they do nothing but trash America.
Rich irony, silly women with too much time on their hands and not a brain cell among them. I wonder who paid the flight to Pakistan for their protest?
It could have gone a lot worse for this fruitcake. What
right does she think she has to go in and stir up
trouble in another country and a Muslim country at
that?
Apparently Pelosi pointed at a map of Pakistan and
said very, very slowly and clearly…..my backyard.
Do they really think they have the right to protest; and remain alive, in just about any country around the globe? Was there any fear that an Islamofacist might come along and kidnap her and her fellow pinkos? Just how stupid do you have to be to think you can cavort across the globe unimpugned?
If I wasn’t so busy laughing, I would be crying…how pathetic.
ROFLMAO!!!
Those women have some Big Balls.
No brains though…
Can we smuggle her into Iran?
LMAO
Stupid comment of the day award….
“It’s a sad state of affairs when the Pakistani government, a government that is trying to portray itself to the West as democratic, tries to harass and deport U.S. human rights activists,” Ms. Benjamin said at the press club before her arrest. “If they do this to us, who have the protection of being U.S. citizens, imagine what they do to their own citizens.”
Um, hello Ms. Benjamin…welcome to the REAL world….here’s your sign!!!! (the woman MUST be on drugs).
Quite right, uhangtight.
I can’t help but wonder how she defines the “protection of being U.S. citizens”? She’s not a diplomat, so she really has no additional protection from the laws of Pakistan. How foolish can you be?
Let’s say that President Musharraf is the terrorist she seems to want to imply that he is. How would she expect the U.S. to protect her? Certainly not with U.S. troops… We have a good feeling for how she feels about our military.
No, I believe she knows better and would not try this in a country where the outcome was not as predictable.
She’s lucky some Taliban soldier didn’t grab her for unislamic dress and had her publicly beaten in some hellhole in Waziristan. Or worse - beheaded on YouTube.
WTF is wrong with these people?
Whoops, feebiebabe beat me to it.
#23 - we share.
i liked yours better!!!
I guess I’m ignorant when it comes to donations and fundings( tongue firmly in cheek)but I do question the propriety of any donations used for Medeamediafreak to travel to such areas of the world. But I do hope she is required to reimburse the State Dept for any services used by her. Oh wait, the State Department is still loaded with Clintonistas, never mind.
You would hope that this incident would shed light on how fortunate they are to have such freedoms in the USA. I would hope that they would come home and stand up for America as the great country it is.
But surely when they get back to the USA, they’ll find a way to blame Bush and vilify him for ‘torture’ and ‘terrorism’
Wow…now if this doesn’t show how huge her ego has become over the last six years, I don’t know what has. She honestly thought that just because her slogans say her beliefs are universal that they really were universal. She is lucky…VERY lucky that her big head and mouth are still attached to her shoulders. Unfortunately I don’t think she will ever, ever realize just how lucky she is that her head is still attached.
So just how many times do you think she asked her captors, “Do you know who I am?” I am willing to bet it came out a great many times. I am also willing to bet that after all the times she has complained about being mistreated and terrorized by the police in the United States that it is a nice thing for her to now have a basis of comparison and to know that she never really was terrorized or abused in the least before, and instead was treated with kid gloves.
Now here is the big question. Will this big mouthed, troublesome, rabble-rousing, anti-American, seditous, moron come home and be more humble and more willing to be grateful for what she has here and the type of country she is fortunate to be living in that those brave men and women she condemns on a daily basis in the military fight so hard to keep that way? Will she stop bad mouthing them and begin to show them some respect and stop defending those that alost killed her for running her suck?
Naw…she’s just too damn stupid.
Kumbaya Medea, kumbaya!
What is the Pashtun for “schadenfreude?”
Ho, Ho, Ho.
liberal loons like the pinkos have decided that because of their freedoms here, they think those freedoms carry over to any country of their choosing. maybe because we allow illegals to protest here and do not gather them up and deport them? just because the US allows illegals and various other nefarious characters to stand and freely protest our military and the rights to our sovereignity doesn’t mean that other countries allow this. Stupid is as stupid does… pinkos
Fireman is right. She is one lucky wacko. Those ISI characters - many of them are in bed with al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Brings up an interesting hostage scenario; what should the US do if some nutballs ever take her hostage?
I await your colorful suggestions…
Now we all know she was only treated this way because of Bush’s foreign policy. Sheesh
/sarc
PS: I want to know how many times she screamed “I’M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!”
nothing. but lets try and free mohammed the teddy.
well, let me see, we WON’T be sending in the Military to save her sorry little behind. that’s for sure; and i would expect her to state that through her captors that by no means she would accept military force to save her sorry behind or she is a hypocrite of the largest order. but, i kind of figure she is a hypocrite and would expect the military to be sent over from Afghanistan to save her promplty.
i say, we let them keep her.
Freedoms are so precious, it’s a shame to see it wasted on idiots. But, then again, how many people neglect their responsibility to hold our crooked bureaucrats accountable.
A nutball taking a nutball hostage = Marraige.
This statement by her alone shows you just how mush she basically does not understand the way things work when one visits someone else’s…especially an Islamic…country. ESPECIALLY when you are a big mouthed, don’t know when you need to shut up female.
No, i do not mean to come acrodd ad chauvanistic ladies. I am, after all, the father of 3 girls and far outnumbered by females in my house. Just saying that in an Islamic country, you had better know where you stand and being an overly opinionated, know-it-all, never-shutting-up, thinking the State Department will get your foot out of your maouth for you, female is going to go over like a fart in church. She is just too stupid to have known it and my best guess is that she still has not learned that lesson.
She busy changing her undies to notice ret.
She probably thinks we would send in troops to bring
her out of wherever. That (to her) would be the proper
use of the military. I have news for her. She would
probably get either Jimmy Carter or Jesse Jackson
working for her release.
You guys brought up a point that she exposed in the quote I had. Who does she think gives her that “protection as a U.S. Citizen”? Why, that would be those darn soldiers she is always protesting against. It is funny how much of a hypocrite she is. I think no one should ever let her off the hook for that above quote. How she could call on that statement after all she has done and said over the last 6 years. What a hypocrite.
See…the minute she gets into trouble…BANG…”Where are the Marines…I want the Mrines! Look out you Muslims. You’ll get yours now. I’,
I believe that is “Shariaenfreude.”
If she had been taken captive we would have had to send in Boobs for Peace. Her captors would have killed themselves.
Medea “No Clue Boo Hoo” Benjamin is a raving lunatic without a point.
Yoo-hoo. Pakistan is a (read my lips) Mil-i-tar-y Dic-ta-tor-ship.
Your privileged numb skull can’t quite grock around the fact that while you are over here running around being “Medea”, and living a life of paid-for drama queen antics to the tune of your female admirers and fan club, men and women whom you deplore are fighting and dying and sacrificing their lives for your right to have an opinion of yourself that is bloated beyond all relevance and reason.
I am biting my tongue with regard to your quote above about how you were afraid you were going to die. Your treasonous antics should be punished by hanging. But then again, I am old school.
DON’T TREAD ON ME.
I have had it up to here with these moon loon idiots.
I don’t think we will hear much from “Medea”. She can spin this all she wants— she got a taste of the difference between the democratic republic she is an ungrateful citizen of and the leading harborer of jihadi terrorism under Islam.
Write in pink across your forehead, Benny, “I got my *ss kicked in Pakistan for nothing.”
ugh.
Madea taken hostage by AQ
Sounds like a “Hallmark Moment”
This is what gets so many Americans in trouble in
foreign countries. They think that because of all the
freedoms they have here, that it somehow carries over
abroad. I don’t know if there is an urban myth that
says we are all untouchable or if it is old movies where
the spy runs to the nearest American Embassy, but
some Americans think they can do or say or act just
any way they want and nothing can happen to them
because they are Americans.
She came very, very close to learning a terminal lesson, but she won’t remember it in a week if it
ever sank in in the first place. Some heads are just
too dense to even beat common sense into.
#40
Like I said, rich irony, you nailed it on the head. The joke is, if your scenario in your earlier post happened, my mind boggles at the consequences. We have a nuclear armed country, full of radical Muslims, with a leader tenuously holding onto his power, who is friendly to the US. Medea Benjamin has no clue of the consequences of her actions. As my mom always said, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Oh the irony of the words “protection as a US citizen”.
It isnt a get out of jail free card. It grants equal protection under US law—not the laws of the Left’s beloved “world courts” and “international law”.
And that is the freaking point of being the United States of America– since the American Revolution and the Nation’s founding to present day.
And ever since we were founded the world has sought to undermind our laws, our traditions, and our very existence.
That has not ended. And as long as we fight to put traitorous Americans like Medea Benjamin out of business– based on their own inanities and misdeeds— we wont end either.
Well said Bear, this would be a great civics lesson.
Many people have no concept of what the world is really like. The world is not like the U.S.. You can’t do a lot of things outside the U.S., that you can do here. I remember once flying into Singapore and having to read and sign a statement that I do not have any amount of drugs on me. There…no appeal, just the rope. Community service and probation here. Go protest in many countries and find yourself in a small, very dirty jail, for a long time. Just because you’re a U.S. citizen isn’t a “pass” everywhere. Embassies can try to help, but very rarely do help. This lady was lucky and I hope wiser. I doubt it though; she got her name again in the paper.
But just think.She went over there and Really Really
Showed Them!! Just think how GOOD she feels about
herself and now she has something different to talk
about for the next twenty or thirty years. “MY Time In
Pakistan As A Dissenter” or How I Came To Learn To
Love The Gun That Was Held On Me On My Way To The
Airport.
Bet she knelt down and kissed the grass in Pelosi’s yard.
No, it was she who mistreated them, or more likely, traumatized them…especially if she wasn’t wearing any kind of veil!GNYA-A-A!!!!
But the thought never occurred to her BEFORE she made the trip? WOW! “Totally” brave, or “totally” stupid…I go for the later, since she hasn’t really exercised good judgement in the past. “Oh Hugo, you so cra-z-y! Down with Bush! Down with Bush!”
Yeah, you go girl…and don’t come back.
One would hope that Media Benjamin would learned a valuable lesson from her failed attempt to ingratiate herself with the people of Pakistan. Unfortunately, I doubt that she has learned anything. In fact, a glance at Pinko’s website confirms that.
The ladies in Pink have more trips scheduled to Pakistan for the purpose of pressuring our government into a “Peaceful foreign policy”.
One can only hope that each trip will result in an arrest and detention. It would do my heart good to picture these “know it all” loons lounging in a Pakistani jail cell discussing world peace with a Taliban emissary.
The US should implement a “No Return” policy immediately.
Can we refuse to allow her to reenter the usa??
Or maybe we can send her to Sudan??
I give Medea some credit. I have long challenged Peace Protestors to try and pull their crap in a Middle East Country.
Shes lucky shes alive after that stunt.
And it proves without a doubt that peace protesting is the single dumbest and most usless thing that exists in this world. Al Qaeda doesnt care if your against the war or not
If she had been kidnapped, I think the response of any patriotic American would be, thank God!
Terrorist: We demand $20 mil USD and you must release this list of 12 prisoners in Afghanistan to get her back.
State Dept: Tell you what, we’ll release 2 of the prisoners and give you a box of Twinkies to keep her.
Medea Benjamin: wonk,wonk,wonk,wonk
Terrorist: Ok, we give you 2 bomb makers, 3 wanted murderers and this very nice set of robes to take her back.
State Dept: No way. How about this, we’ll release 3 of the prisoners on the list, give you this cool lava lamp AND we’ll throw in the Senate Majority , but you have to keep her.
#54 - lol. lava lamp, definately the lava lamp…..ha ha ha
All Al Qaeda cares about is that you are (if you are a
female) an Unworthy Infidel. If you are a male, you are
simply an Infidel. Both of these “sins” deserve at least
a stoning but more than likely a beheading. Now, if
you are an unworthy infidel who is yelling in public and quite possibly improperly dressed, you are so lucky to get out of town with just a gun being pointed
at your sorry self on the way to the airport.
That video is priceless
Love it #54. Before it’s over, we would be getting 25
years of oil to take her back.
I just hope that somewhere in the back of her “mind”
she realizes how lucky she is. She could have disappeared into their prison system and never been
seen again..wait. Can we send her back?
AJ #17, bigger than Hillary’s?
#54
My favorite part was about throwing in the Senate Majority. I’ve been wanting to get rid of TB Reid for years.
$50 says at that intersection, when those guns were pointed at them, they went Code Yellow (in their pants).
Homer Simpson just lost his “dumbest person in the world” title.
#37….”is going to go over like a fart in church.”
Confucius say: “Woman who fart in church sit in own pew.”
Totally. I wonder if they, like, waterboarded her.
I don’t know for sure, but, like wouldn’t she melt if they did that? I mean, her sister did in that Oz movie.
#54 Deepdiver,
Alternative scenario: Terrorists send demands, State Department sends a copy of O’Henry’s “The Ransom of Redchief” and a note advising them to study it.
If only some of these people would learn a lesson from this I would be impressed. As it is, life will go on as usual for them, the press and the politicians. The story will be spun until it is all America’s or Bush’s fault and that will give them reason to protest here. (Perhaps for not sending in American police to protect her from the abuse there?) The story will be used to gather even more contributions from real-good/feel-good mo-mos and life will go on as usual. These people could face real torture in some of these countries and still come out with their misconstrued beliefs unscathed.
“I thought I was going to die in the car,” she said. “They totally terrorized us.”
Oh, Media, if you think what happened to you is being terrorized, watch the Daniel Pearl video one more time - That’s being terrorized!
#66 Grey Fox
Haven’t read that story in over 20 years. Pulled it up online to re-read and it still as funny as it was the first time. Excellent reference!
Waiting for the Oliver Stone movie showing the
conspiracy between Musharef(?) and President Bush to
terrorize her to the point where she will never again be able to look at anything pink without breaking out
in a cold sweat.
Imagine the scenario if it was the equally stupid Boobs Not Bombs females.
What did she think she’d accomplish by going there?!
Who the hell takes Code Pink serious?
Pakistan?! Yeah right!
Don’t TAZE me, ‘Bro!!!
#73: LMFAO! choice, bro. very very choice use of this now hallowed phrase.
Gosh, I guess things aren’t so bad in the good ole USA, compared to that, are they?
It could be like The Ransom of Red Chief!
I would be willing to bet that she has been told to never come back into that country again. I would also be willing to bet that it was a condition of her release following her arrest, what with all her shouting about who she was and what group she represented and al the “powerful people she knew in Congress”.
This also begs the question as to whether the Man/Bear/Pig creature that shows up along with the rest of the “Breats Not Bombs” crew showed up. I would be willing to bet the Al Qaeda gang let them go because they found that bearded woman/man/bear/pig/thing/creature/it/whatever so wonderfully beautiful and desireable that they didn’t want it harmed in any way and were going to use pictures of it as posters of what to expect in the way of the 72 virgins they hope to get when they all become martyrs. (Ew…just vomitted a little at the thought.
Now, did Medea wear a veil during her stint there? Was she showing the proper respect like the Liberal saint Pelosi? After all, we wouldn’t want to insult their religion. Just look what happens when you insult a teddy bear.
So here is this woman, who has been going on and on ad nauseum with all the rest of the Liberals, including those here on this site, about how Bush has been chipping away at people’s rights, over-stepping his bounds and over-stepping the limits of the Constitution, of how the Liberals have been getting mistreated, of how their First Ammendment rights have been trampled on, have been terrorized, have been mistreated by the police, have been intimidated by Conservatives, told to “shut up” by the likes of Bill O’Reilley and so many other whiney and childish complaints, and she takes her little parade, pink tape and sharpies and all, out on the road and goes across the pond into the mouth of the Global Jihad against the Kuffirs and the War Against Islamic Agression.
What did they find? Did they find that everything that the Left and the Liberals have been saying is true, that it is just a bunch of bumpersticker slogans put on by Condi and Bushco in order to fund theor oil buddies and line their pockets? Did they find that the Muslims are all just real friendly, peace loving people who are just misunderstood and if they just give them hugs and tell them we love them and Bush is a bad, bad man and soon will be gone that all will be well and they are donw with their struggle so all the Muslims will invite them into their homes and welcome them like family and even listen to them talk about their Atheistic and Agnostic views of the world?
Not a chance. What this little brained nomzoom-dweebie found was that everything we have been saying since around 9:00am 9-11-01 has been true, and even more so. They found out while staring down the barrel of a Kalishnikov and peeing in their pants while speeding through the streets with people yelling for their deaths, including the smiling, unbrushed teeth filled faces in the cars with them.
But will this change their minds? Will this change their message? Will this cause them to actually support the troops, send grandma home to fill care packages, clean the graffitti off the recruitment centers, send an “I’m Sorry” cake to a certain recruiter in Berkeley and elsewhere and do all they can to support this country and get behind us for the big win?
Well, that has yet to be seen, but knowing Liberals the way I do and their incredible way to spin things around at incredible speeds along with their incredible inability to ever admit any wrong doing or when they themselves are wrong, I would not hold my breath that this was the “Coming to Jesus” moment that this hippie sorely needed. I am afraid if you did hold your breath for her to do these things you would just turn a funny blue color, pass out, and wake up with a headache and just be disappointed to find out that she had spun it around to still be all Bush’s fault and the Muslims are still just misunderstood and misguided.
Idiots.
Code Pink = Useful Idiots.
Anyone stupid enough to join a protest in foreign country shouldn’t be allowed back into ours.
This woman is a waste of my air.
So, what happened to ending the war? Did they “Move On” already?
I think she was expecting the same treatment she/Code Pink received from Hugo. This just really goes to show that she thinks the rest of the world hates GWB as much as she does. It never occurred to her that her “kind” should be seen and not heard.
In this country you have the right to march around for any stupid or nutcase cause you want to.
But when you visit, especially in countries that are not as tolerant as we are, you’d better be careful.
Somehow I dont thing Medea’s 1st Amendment rights apply in Pakistan.
Of course they did, dear.
These useless idiots are very lucky they are being allowed out of the country with their heads still attached. They don’t have a clue at what real mistreatment is. Just ask the Monks of Burma (refuse to use the new name) the cost of standing up to a brutal dictatorship. Hopefully the Pakistan Government will have the women of code Pinko deported to Antarctica to work their magic on global warming. Penguins have to eat too.
I just wish they had filmed the whole event. Would have won, “America’s Funniest Videos”.
Just because that fascist Bush cannot get away with being all fascist against protestors in this country doesn’t mean that he can’t get his fascist buddy Musharraf to get all fascist-like against the enemies of fascism like Medea when she goes to some other fascist country to protest against the fascism that that fascist Bush has his fascist lackeys fasc all over the people. I said fascist, right?
We don’t negotiate with terrorists…end of story. She’s on her pinko own.
Maybe if they’d dropped Medea off in the northern area, she’d have enough chance to re-evaluate her worldview. . .if she could dodge being stoned for not wearing a burqa long enough.
Dave, Jimmy Carter and/or Jesse Jackson would have
volunteered to go negotiate for her release. We saw
how well that worked for Jimmy as pres during the
Iranian Hostage Crisis. Methinks Medea’s head would
have become a Muslim tourist attraction.
I have to ask. What or who is that, in pink, standing
alongside side her? That’s just so not right! It’s
scary!
I guess “Kumbaya” didn’t translate te way they thought it would. Little did they know, what they actually were singing was, “Bush ROCKS, Mohammed was a child raping dog who sleeps with teddy bears and you can use my head for polo”.
Gotta check those dictionaries people.
