Code Pink is "static and noise." What did you want them to do? Allow her to mouth off obscenities and obnoxious comments? It was not the proper time for that.

Granted, I'm sure he's talking about the Vietnamese who tortured him, but shouldn't he have enough sense to specifically say "I hate my captors" instead of saying "I hate Asians" in a derogatory fashion? Just my opinion that this proves he's further less sentimental/sensitive to Asian Americans who were born and grew up in the United States for several generations.

Why do people need to be "sensitive?"
What the hell is that all about?
We're not all "Alan Aldas."

There were goons outside the convention assaulting the delegates, goons inside trying to shout down the speaker...

"Ordinary Americans" respect other people's rights. Shouting down political speech that you don't agree with is tyrannical.

Boo hoo, big deal, they can deal with it, after the Patriot's Act. It disrupted the speech, but there wasn't much to disrupt anyway.

Plenty of Democrats voted for the Patriot Act, so should they lose their right to free speech as well, or is this just a one way street you're paving here.

Really?  How many Republican protesters interrupted speeches at the Democratic National Convention? 

Here's your answer...none.

It's all about respect.  If they wish to be heard, do you think rushing into the hall to divert attention from the business at hand is the way to do it?

Honestly, in a lifestyle that TOUTS respect, this girl would have thought that would have been an obvious point.  There is a time, and a place and a way to air one's grievances for things that displease them.

That was not the way.

Did he rush the hall, or was he holding his sign in protest, maintaining still an iota of respect for the candidate at the podium?

she came flying down the steps, and made herself the focal point.. robbing from the delegates the chance to hear THEIR candidate give his speech.... much the way Barack Obama was afforded 7 days prior.

There is no excuse for blatant lawlessness.  Grievances cannot be aired on only one set of terms.

Again, this is all surprising, coming from a board in a lifestyle that has mutual RESPECT as it's main focal point.

You wouldn't answer earlier when I asked if you agreed with their actions. To me, the answer to that seems clear.

Code Pink is an anti-war group, and most of their members are members of the Democratic party, so yes... for the most part they are.

But aren't the protestors protesting White House policies? That might be the difference.

Is John McCain President?

How is interrupting his bid for the speech protesting White House Policies?

Go stand on the sidewalk outside of the White House.

Look, all week anti-war, anti-Bush protestors have attacked delegates, started fires, smashed windows, and just acted plain ridiculous.

Republicans gave the Democrats ENOUGH respect to keep away from the speeches, and do what little protesting they did outside in a manner that the Denver Police never had to bat an eyelash.

There is no excuse for lawlessness.  It matters not what you're protesting.

Status: offline 		Democrats push for public transportation on one hand, then assault eighty year old delegates who use it on the other, if their politics don't suit them. In a polite society a gentleman is afforded his right to free speech, and to do otherwise is neanderthal behavior. The Democrat's behavior here is brutish and thuggish. Childish to the extreme.
