Code Pink Protester in SF attempts “Citizens Arrest” on Karl Rove

October 22nd, 2008 Urban Conservative

An anti-war protester from the left-wing-whacko group Code Pink confronted Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers’ meeting. The woman’s name is Janine Boneparth, and she tried to handcuff Rove in what she called a citizen’s arrest for “treason.”

And they say that extreme liberalism isn’t a mental disorder? I beg to differ. Check the video and get ready to laugh.

    I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. Wonder what hospital she escaped from??
  • "citizen arrests"?, from TERRO
    libland is what terror needs.  For decades have being, and looks like u$$r-lib-the rest of the terrorists's vi$ion without God at school$ (an ayer$-bho'$ job), won't stop willingly.
    ted, did you finaly "understood some" or invented braincancer thing for "not being disturbed on your lasts stages of your terror-programming, the oldest's stubourness, the dreamed and denied 10 lasts years to tyrants (their systems believed their media they will be here 10 more years, "live", castro,  sadam, not u$$r 70 years "liders")...
    just give bho the same treatment libland gives to Mrs. Palin.
    Then Mcain already won, because America shall say NO-bama, as did with sKerry, beacause of the terror helping.

    It is definitely a mental disorder.  And shame on the "un-biased" ha-ha Channel 7 reporter.  The mainstream media is officially dead in this country!  There is only one cable channel where you can hear any fair and balanced news reporting anymore.  And if BHO is elected, he is going to do everything he can to silence them with his "fairness" doctrine.  He has destroyed everyone who has gotten in his way in the past.  There is no reason to believe he won't keep doing it after he is elected.  Wake up people!!!
  • toe
    the "silence" activity has come from the McCain camp- shutting out reporters, anyone who dared speak against them, anyone questioning their tactics... they have already announced that his campaign will only allow "limited press" on election eve.  he looks more and more like Nixon every day.  
    what a sad, shallow man he has become.
  • DS
    toe,

    Gee, I wonder why they don't trust reporters or treat them with respect?  They are so pro-Obama that it makes no sense to even talk to them.  If they would scrutunize Obama/Biden just half as much as they have McCain/Palin, then they might let them in a little bit more.  Like I said, the mainstream media is DEAD!
  • toe
    McCain went from calling the "media" his base to shutting out all who would dare disagree with him- including Mark Murphy, McCain's 2000 campaign strategist.  Murphy wrote something critical concerning McCain's campaign tactics and lack of a clear message.  McCain feels "betrayed" by any  negative critique.  It's an attitude that has followed him since childhood when he pouted and held his breath to get his way.
    McCain has tried to rationalize his  nasty, negative campaign, hate calls, and selective press allowed near him or Palin saying that "...it would have been different if Obama had done the town halls with me".  

    Nobody is buying what McCain is trying to sell- whatever that is this week.  
  • DS
    toe...
    McCain isn't acting any differently than Obama is when it comes to the media.  The only difference is that the media isn't vetting Obama like they are McCain.  As I said, mainstream media is DEAD!  It has become nothing more than an extension of the left wing liberal agenda, and will do/say ANYTHING to get the left elected!  I don't want to hear one more word about the media and McCain.  AND, no mater what you think, it would have been much different if Obama would have agreed to do the townhall meetings where normal, everyday people could have asked him the tough questions since the media won't do it!!   So, we don't need to hear you deny that either.  I think you are quickly running out of things to complain about.  Maybe now it's time that you sit down and do some serious soul searching........and stop drinking the kool-aid already.  I'm like most of the other conservatives on this site.  I don't think McCain was our best choice, but he is much better and more honest than Obama.  Actions and history speak louder than words.  Look at their records and be honest about who is more qualified to be president.  It's not even close!!
  • toe
    Obama has been "vetted" by the national media since his address given in the 2004 Democratic Convention.  He has been  under the microscope for years
    Years, DS.  Years.
  • JarrodM
    Please Toe, the media has not challenged BO on anything.
  • ameriken
    How are MSM's vetting Obama or Biden equally as McCain and Palin? How are MSM's going after Obama and Biden in the past few months to the same extent? 

    The NYT went after Cindy McCain and even sought out students from her daughters school to ask what kind of parent she is. What are ome comparable challenges for Michelle? 

    Seriously......I'd just like to see some recent examples of how the media is vetting and challenging both sides equally........
  • DS
    toe,
    You are fighting a losing (and dishonest) battle trying to defend the medias vetting of Obama.  EVERYONE knows that isn't the case!!  Even most of the left wing Obama supporters on Fox News agree that the media is for Obama.  I "might" agree with you that the media gave McCain a litt5le bit of support BEFORE he was selected as the Republican candidate.  And we know why they did that don't we?  That's because he is one of the most liberal Republicans around, and they didn't want to see ANY conservative Republican candidate running against Obama.  But now they want Obama so bad that they have to crucify McCain in every way they can.  There are so many skeletons in Obama's closet which have been brought out into the open, but ONLY by conservative media types.  And the MSM hasn't followed up on ANY of them!!  So, again, STOP the nonsense already!!
  • toe
    get over it, michelle and barack have been under a microscope -for nearly 2 years-  so much so when you could find no dirt- you guys tried to create your own.  all debunked.
    face it, you have at the top of your ticket the wrong guy with the wrong message.  he further discredited himself by picking palin who was clearly not qualified for the job- beyond this, mc cain has been all over the map trying to find an issue that would allow him to connect with voters beyond the tiny ultra conservative base that he wiggled and molded himself to reflect instead of his previous "maverick" self...  the problem here is his message is as old as his tactics and the people want nothing of it.   now, because he has no message, no understanding of what voters want, no clue as to how to represent himself honestly without having to take back all that he has done in order to make the ultra right wing more comfortable with him- 
    he cooked his own goose- he didn't need my help- he used his own recipe.   even among his own staff, the RNC, former supporters, they are forming the circular firing squad - those that have not deserted the ship.
  • DS
    toe,
    You're a phony and dishonest liberal.  You have no moral character, and aren't interested in the truth....so you're wasting your time here.  Go back to your "Daily Kooks" site where you can continue planning the downfall of our country.  You're not worth debating at all.   I debunk your myths about Obama and all you can do is come back with the same old liberal talking points.  Get over yourself toe!!
  • toe
    DS- You have debunked nothing that I have seen.
    Name one item that you have "discovered" about Obama that the entire world (that would be all others except you)  does not know.
    Where is this big deep secret that millions of us are "in on".
    Just exactly how utterly stupid can you be??!
    I believe you have maxed out your potential... but I could be wrong.

    DS:  this is for your digestion... a few facts


    Study: McCain gets more negative coverage than Obama
    McCain's coverage began positively, but turned sharply negative with McCain's reaction to the crisis in the financial markets, the study said. Attempts to attack Obama's character did hurt Obama's media coverage, but McCain's was even more negative.
    Sarah Palin coverage's had an "up and down trajectory, moving from quite positive, to very negative, to more mixed," the study said. The negative coverage dealt with looks into her public record and her relationship with the press. "Little of her trouble came from coverage of her personal traits or family issues," the authors said.

  • Titus Hunt
    The only people that do not want anything to do with McCain/Palin are those who don't understand or care about Obama's economic policy and how it will affect our economy and the rest of the world.  In the end if Obama is elected, the reason we don't have jobs/retirement and can't give handouts to others will be clear!  Yesterday's announcement of the polls tighening came out, and the stock market immediately went from negative to positive.  there was no other news that came out at that time and some brokers called me to inform me of the change and verified the cause.  does that say anything about the affect of Obama's policies and how all of us will be affected?  Most definitely!

    toe,
    You can throw any studies at me that you want, but we can all see right through them.  Ever heard of the saying "the truth hurts"?  Well, when the truth about Obama's relationships FINALLY started to come out, the media was so afraid of how it would impact the election that they turned negative VERY QUICKLY in their coverage of John McCain.  That is why it went negative.  It had nothing to do with his response to the financial crisis as BOTH candidates responded the same way.  Although, I have to say that I was a little disappointed that McCain didn't vote against the bailout!  He, as all politicians do for political purposes, had to go with the conventional flow on it.  And look where we are now!!  Are you that naive toe to believe all of the crap that you hear from the media?  Don't even show me any "media studies" that have been conducted on the race.  I have been following it closely myself, and I am smart enough to know what is happening.  I don't need the media to tell me!!  That is one of the biggest problems we have in this country.  Too many people either don't want to think for themselves, or are unable to do so.  The "blind are following the blind" toe.  Pied Piper has blown his pipe, and all of his little lemmings are following him right over the cliff.  Have a nice fall toe!!
  • DS
    Well, isn't it interesting what happens when the Obama campaign is asked tough questions?  And isn't it funny that Fox News is the only place where you will hear about it?  I bet the Obama Networks won't report it at all.  Hmmm, is that just another indication of their intentions?

  • toe
    again, this just shows how utterly stupid and uninformed  you are, DS.  The interview has been covered by a number of sites on the internet including Huff Post and Raw Story.

    If you actually watched the  utterly unprofessional "interview" done with Biden , you will see that this "interviewer" asked nothing from Biden but "talking points"  taken directly from McCain's stump speeches. Biden handled her questions with no problem since they were so absurd. 
    It was hardly an unbiased interview by any stretch.  I had to look to see if it was a FOX affiliate, frankly- but WFTV is an ABC affiliate, apparently.

    In contrast, the McCain interview by this same "reporter" was soggy with softballs.

    bet the germans considered protesters whackos when hitler was in power.

    most comments on here are made by imperialists and they dont have
    a clue they are imperialists.

    the iraq war was and is illegal.

    so simple to see if one steps outside of their imperialism

    until americans figure out that most are imperialists
    nothing much will change in america.

    hmmm...let's see....
    At an October 2000 town hall on MSNBC’s Hardball, an audience member asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) about why the rich pay higher taxes than the middle class. McCain defended progressive taxation, stating, “I think it’s to some degree because we feel, obviously, that wealthy people can afford more”:
    McCain:
    "So, look, here’s what I really believe, that when you are — reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more. … And frankly, I think the first people who deserve a tax cut are working Americans with children that need to educate their children, and they’re the ones that I would support tax cuts for first."
     
    DS....now, I wonder who he sounds like...hmmmmmmm.??  could it be that McCain is a sleeper cell communist?   this is what his good buddy and running mate is calling it... wonder what he will believe in next week?   Just who is the real  John McCain?   
     
    watching this pathetic GOP duo daily has become a visit to cartoonland.

    lets see a tax cut for americans

    nation deep in debt

    yep lets do a tax cut to get votes

    esp for the rich and corps

    logical thinking ie insane thinking

    the end of a republic due to greed, power and ignorance

    whoops both greed and power are due to ignorance
  • Titus Hunt
    Boy, leave it up to the democrats to twist everything around for their liking. 

    1.  McCain is concerned about the redistribution of wealth.  the higher taxes will not go into paying off our debt, building infrastructure, or anything that will really make a difference in the long run.  everyone has choices and there is plenty of help out there if they want it.  the programs that are available are incredible.  they just have to want it and make the effort.  i have tried to help so many people and they just want handouts without having to work for it.  of course, the democrats just want to give them money.  novel idea--they can buy more booze, drugs and have more kids!  what encouragement is this to do better?  republicans want efficiency and no government run program has EVER run efficiently. 

    2.  In a bad economy you don't raise taxes on anyone unless you want people to be unemployed.  that is what happens when companies are taxed more and can't bring in more income. 

    5.  How many people don't know that huge corps don't pay taxes???????  as i have said before close the loopholes (dumb in a bad economy though).  However, mid to small businesses are soaked in taxes already unfortunately and you piss them off and people will lose jobs. 

    4.  Now it is a free country and instead of complaining, people can get off their lazy butts and start their own businesses.  wait a minute----oh i keep forgetting the middle to lower income folks ususally don't have the money to start their own businesses and are not independently wealthy so they rely on those terrible, mean employers to hire them.  you are at the employers mercy when you want jobs but then try to kick them in the ass the first chance you get.  how two-faced is that?  you also have choices of where you are employed based on your efforts in gaining skills. 

    5.  poor people do not hire people and businesses will cut back if their taxes are raised just as families do.  that is common sense.  of course, there are some folks who can't think for themselves and don't understand economics so they have to quote articles, etc., and try to blame FOX news!  i laugh every single time esp when i hear liberals quoting Obama's promises and they really believe them!  of course, there is no record of accomplishments so that is all they have to go on!

  • BEACHSP
    John Donne wrote at the beginning of the 17th Century, "Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right."  Fear, however, can disrupt the easy balance between reason and faith-especially irrational fear of a kind less readily dispelled by reason.  WHEN FEAR CROWDS OUT REASON, many people feel a greater need for comforting certainty of ABSOLUTE FAITH.  AND they become more vulnerable to the appeals of secular leaders who profess absolute certainty in simplistic explanations portraying all problems as manifestations of the struggle between good and evil.  Throughout history, our innate fears of OTHERS-WHO-ARE-DIFFERENT-FROM-US has combined with some malignant dogma, masquerading as a message from GOD.  THIS DEADLY FORM of EXCLUSIVIST GROUP PASSION can be virtually invulnerable to reason.  SO it is as useful to demagogues who learn how to fan it and exploit it to consolidate power.  (I WONDER WHY SO MANY REPUBLICANS RUN FEARFULL AND NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS TO APPEAL AND EXPLOIT THEIR RELIGIOUS BASE?).

    Whoa! Don't they have better security?! How on Earth did that whack-job get so close to Karl Rove? There is no excuse for such lax security. That woman reminded me of the nut-job who tried to present a warrant for the arrest of several Republicans present at the RNC last summer. Luckily THAT whack-job was intercepted and placed under arrest which is what hopefully happened to the one in the video.  It's amazing how so many fools come on here to try and smear Republicans with their childish rhetoric! So Republicans were the "Only" ones running negative attack ads last year? Oh really?  Maybe some of you were unaware that the Democrats didn't have to directly attack when they have so many obedient lap dogs like Joel McHale and Chelsea Handler and David Letterman and Katie Couric and the Huffington Post and the New York Slimes to do their attack jobs for them! And as for the butt-head research....research this! Your laughable attack on Bush lacks one thing.....FACTS!! Bush has never tried to run Iraq nor has he attempted to take any oil for the US! So why all of the lies! To try and cover up the fact that when Saddam was in charge he regularly traded oil for a few small weapons and useful items like night-goggles with the French the Germans and Russians! In fact this trading was a direct violation of the UN sanctions! And yet NO ONE says anything about it....except of course for FOX news!! They are the only ones with the guts to point out the flagrant disregard a lot of the countries had for those UN sanctions! Ah, Yes! Hypocrisy at its worst!
