Be Really Rude and Act Like You’re 12 Years Old (VIDEO)

July 29, 2006 Bush-Bashing, Liberal Bed-Wetters, Video, War on Terror View Comments

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, was brave enough to come on with Laura tonight to talk about the recent heckling incidents on Capitol Hill. Laura didn’t hold anything back – and I love her for that! She did it all, however, with finesse. Medea, as usual, was waiting for the Mother Wheel to beam her back up.

As usual, the Code Pinkos don’t have any real plan, and for the life of me, I’ll never understand how they continue to sell their garbage to the gullible left. At one point, Laura tells her her ideas are a “John Lennon song – not a plan.” If you listen to one of them, all you have to do is record it and you can play it back over any video on TV of any activist, and it won’t make a difference. The voice may not match, but the words are all the same. Blah blah, and more blah. Laura starts out by remarking that Medea was charged with Disruption of Congress, and asks her about that.

Here’s a partial transcript:

Laura: You don’t have any leg irons on you or handcuffs or anything? They sprung you, eh?

Medea: That’s right, and I must say you look very pretty in pink, Laura.

Laura: Well, I would like to say that I was wearing it for you, but it was the only thing in my closet.

Okay, here’s my question to you: How does heckling help the cause of human rights. I would assume you would agree that you’re a human rights activist, right?

Medea: I don’t like the word “heckling,” I would say we were speaking…

Laura: Well that’s what you were doing.

Medea: …well, that’s the word you use, but we were saying, we were speaking up for the people who weren’t being heard. We tried through many means to meet with the Prime Minister. We called his office before he came.

Laura: Are you kidding me?

Medea: Oh, no, I’m serious!

Laura: You actually thought that you were going to meet with the Prime Minister of Iraq?

Medea: We came very close; we spoke to the Ambassador three times, and he said he got us a meeting and then they never showed up for it. So we didn’t have a chance. He spoke to George Bush, he spoke to Congress, but…

Laura: Why should he meet with Code Pink?

Medea: Just because we represent now the majority voice of the United States.

Laura: Oh, so Code Pink speaks for the majority of Americans?

Medea: Have you seen the latest poll of the New York Times?

Laura: Do you think that the majority of Americans see what you guys did this week on Capitol Hill, and are going “Yeah, BE RUDE to the Iraqi Prime Minister! Yeah, be really rude and act like you’re about 12 years old when the U.N. Ambassador, who is trying to represent our country’s interests, is up on Capitol Hill testifying!” You think people really think you guys are cool for doing that?

Medea goes on the rant about us not going after Usama bin Laden, who was responsible for 9/11, and that we should have never been in Iraq. Laura tells her she thinks she should try giving those talking points on a military base in Iraq and see how far she gets.

And what a hilarious ending, telling Funky Cold Medea, “well, I’m glad you’re out of jail.” And oh, Medea? Not all pinks match – that polka dot skirt you were wearing… well, never mind. They should have a warning sign at all security points on Capitol Hill and elsewhere where politicians gather to be extra cautious when it comes to unfashionable, homely women wearing nothing but pink. They can put that bulletin right next to the “Warning!” picture of Cynthia McKinney.

  • The Boston Tea Party ia an excellent example. Yes I am serious, You don't think we have a right to reress our grievances to the government. Have you not heard of civil disobedience, sit ins, boycotts and marches are all part of the long history of American protests.
  • You think publicity stunts make for successful protests? From which history book are you reading? Laura feels so superior here because not even Laura believes she has a chance to get an audience with the PM of Iraq. Oh, and let's not forget - she snuck into the gallery with a democratic congresman's pass. That's above-the-board! NOT!

    Again, I'm incredulous at your comment about citizens and "peace" activists getting audiences with PMs of other countries. I cannot believe you're serious.
  • Technically heckling would mean Medea would have been interacting or yelling in response. So she is correct. This was clearly a publicity stunt which most succesful political protests are. I don't understand why Laura feels so superior here. A peace activist and American citizen tries to get an audience with the Prime Minister of a country we are occupying is a legitimate and non violent thing to do.
    I don't want to be a troll here. From what I've seen from the few posts I've checked out the tone is more reasonable. I'd like to get a dialogue going.
