Just a clarification; I was being sarcastic.

Apologies – the written word at times leaves something to be desired.

Pax.

Why whould she lie?

Just a clarification; I was being sarcastic.

She lied because she was a self-absorbed, childish, dishonest, anti-American, two-faced, ’60s radicial wannabee, Baby-Boomer hag who would do or say whatever she felt was necessary to achieve what she believe to be important (mostly getting attention).

RetFireman’s answer was the most ironic so he wins the emoticon.

I hope so.

It took me a moment to get it; what I meant by the several times over is that I am descended from several of the original Mayflower passengers. In genealogical terms, one would say several times removed to indicate time span or distance from.

Doesn’t Mrs. McCain look fantastic for her age,…

I agree – it made me more than a little angry when one talking head mentioned how much make-up Mrs. McCain was wearing, and how old her skin looks when you see her in person. Well, ’scuse me, but she isn’t eighteen, or even thirty or forty years old. She is an older woman, and an elegant, poised, and attractive one at that.

Me? I see myself as a soft watercolor painting, airbrushed here and there for effect.

I like the imagery, vickisoup.

I am sure there were COUNTLESS “disgruntled Republicans” swarming out of the place that night. And to even consider for a moment that “Code Pink” or any of the other “Protesters” would ever stoop to outright theft in order to get their clean and bathed and stylish faces on the evening news to promote their cause just shows an incredible bias and cynicism as I have never seen before.

Medea Benjamin herself is the most honest, sane individual I have seen in quite sometime. It’s a wonder she is not running for Government Office unopposed as it is. I only wish she were my mom.

no excuse me, there is an acid bath with sandpaper I must attend in order to rid myself of the filth I just spewed.

Michael Medved had one of the disrupting Pinkos on his show. She said that they got their badges from “disgruntled Republican Delegates.”

Why whould she lie?

Delegate badges did not say “media floor pass” they didn’t even say “floor pass”. Delegates badges were red but said on them, e.g. Florida Delegate, or Michigan Delegate, or Ohio Delegate — you get the picture; along with the requisite day’s number 1,2,3 or 4.

If those passes were still on the women when they were hauled off the floor, security would have known immediately where to go to find a security breach had they been Delegate badges.

As for “why would she lie”, well that question answers itself.

…briefly detained but not arrested…

I’m sorry, but whether they had “credentials” or not, these two should have been locked up for the remainder of the RNC as a precaution.

They obtained those credentials under false pretenses, they were not the original owners of those credentials, and were only there to cause problems.

The Secret Service was far too lenient on them,not to mention WAY too lax on security. There should be a couple of agents putting back on their uniforms and wondering why they were so stupid as to get thrown off Presidential Detail tonight, if there is any justice.

Looking back at how Pres. Bush was treated at BOTH his inaugurations as well as he last 8 yeas, these people who ran security for the event as well as the SS should know better, especially with what these creatures were doing and threatening to do outside the arena.

It is time for Medea Benjamin to stand before a court of law and answer to treason and sedition charges and to be thrown into the deepest, darkest hole that the United States has and forgotten.

As I will keep saying, enough is enough.

Medved then went on to ask if those were Ron Paul delegates. She said she didn’t know, hadn’t asked. He proceeded to assume they were, and then to state it as fact. I did not respect this, as he frankly had no evidence.

It did create a ‘teachable moment’ for my kids, because of course this Medea character said she’d had a First Amendment right to free speech. Medved tasked her on that, saying that free speech does not apply to private individuals on private property. I gave my kids examples – nobody is permitted to walk into a shopping mall and begin to harangue passersby; none of our local megastores (like Target) will permit canvassing or signature-collection on their property. Protestors are frequently required to stay back X number of feet from a group or activity, and/or have a permit, although protests are certainly legal….and so on. No, Medea…you do not have a right to free speech. And you didn’t have an invitation. Gate-crashers always get bounced.

I hope so. That’s reminds me, Doesn’t Mrs. McCain look fantastic for her age, both of ‘em? John’s wife is quite sexy. Don’t say anything to him, ok?
