Hillary Vs. Moonbats
By Michelle Malkin
December 7, 2005
Hillary Clinton is seeing pink. Code Pink. The unruly group of far-left female apologists for tyranny around the world, most infamous for prancing around in pastel lingerie to protest President Bush and the war on terror, has now launched a nationwide campaign against the New York senator because of her opposition to immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq.
But don't weep for Hillary.
Code Pink is the group that championed military deserters, cheered Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, traipsed around the Jordan-Iraq border last year condemning America, prayed for the "people of Fallujah," doled out $600,000 in aid to what they called "the other side" and is planning a New Year's vacation to Cuba in solidarity with the Castro regime. Sen. Clinton couldn't have wished for a better Christmas present than having these loony peaceniks barking about her faux moderate makeover. 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, here she comes! If she doesn't trip on the way to her Senate re-election bid and the unhinged-dominated Democratic primaries, that is. (Two words, Hill: Skip. Iowa.)
This week, Code Pink's liberal exhibitionistas and their allies from Grandmothers Against the War, Brooklyn Parents for Peace and Veterans for Peace organized in New York City to dog Sen. Clinton for refusing to embrace the Cut-and-Run wing of the Democrat Party. Wearing "large theatrical ears and pink gear," Code Pink members planned to gather at the Manhattan club Crobar on Tuesday night to heckle Hillary during a Senate fund-raiser. Their placard-sized complaint: "Hillary, you're not listening; Bring the Troops Home Now."
(Sen. Clinton's hearing seems fine, actually. It's the anti-war zealots who need a gallon of earwax remover. Eww. What part of 403-3, the House vote against immediate withdrawal, don't they understand?)
Over the weekend, Code Pink and company shouted Sen. Clinton down in Chicago during what was supposed to be a motivational speech to young people. The Code Pink website proudly crowed:
Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker at an event to get high school and college kids interested in politics. Eight CODEPINKers, with pink umbrellas, treated Hillary to a CODEPINK-style protest, opening their umbrellas and chanting, "Out of Iraq Now" -- one word on each umbrella. People in the crowd chanted "Troops out now," and others had signs along the same vein. One friend threw leaflets down on the crowd. It was [an] amazing event!
And on Dec. 20, with C-SPAN cameras rolling, Code Pink plans to disrupt a big discussion between Hillary and liberal journalist Jane Pauley before an audience of 3,000 in San Francisco.
Hillary, looking to bolster her image as a credible mainstream figure on defense and national security matters, couldn't have staged it better herself. But is the Retreat Now! faction of the Democrat Party insurmountable?
Liberal pundits like to gloat about the supposed conservative crack-up, but the cleavages within the Democrat Party are far deeper and more difficult to straddle. Just as Sen. Clinton is fending off the rabid anti-warriors of Code Pink, guess who showed up on the group's website grinning from ear to ear with two bright Code Pink T-shirts in each hand?
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. The head of the party's coalition of the quivering has declared this week that the war in Iraq is "unwinnable" and called for bringing "80,000 National Guard and Reserve troops home immediately," while nonsensically advocating placement of "a force in the Middle East, not in Iraq but in a friendly neighboring country to fight [terrorist chief Abu Musab al-] Zarqawi" and sending more troops to Afghanistan instead.
Huh?
Meanwhile, the aimless John Kerry continues his long legacy of public troop-smearing -- taking to CBS News airwaves to accuse American soldiers in Iraq of "terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- the historical customs, religious customs."
This kind of deranged defeatism will earn you a Code Pink T-shirt and a hug from Cindy Sheehan. But as Hillary (dangerously for Republicans) seems to understand, it won't win much else. George W. Bush isn't the Dems' biggest enemy, it turns out. It's the living ghost of George McGovern.

She Who Must Not Be Named wants to let these clowns hang themselves and then take over the party after 2006. The question is how much of the party will be left by then. This looked like a brilliant tactical move when it began but the shriekers can very well ruin the whole thing for her. I suspect she's going to have to move on them prior to 2006 now or face the real prospect of enough of a minority in Congress that the Presidency won't make any difference. And that isn't what She has in mind at all.
BRAVO!
Michelle Malkin makes me feel all tingly inside.
That was Code Pink who did that Hillary-heckling? I was wondering who organized that.
I believe She Who Must Not Be Named DID stage it. Those of the same orientation, political and otherwise, would gleefully fall on their plowshares for Her.
Ping
Don't cry for Hillary America
Her soul is void and vacuum
She wants the power she'll make you cower
Please keep your distance
But she needs you
Call me cynical. It would not surprise me one bit if this is all a game to make She Who Must Not Be Named nor Looked Upon seem like a moderate. Based upon Al Franken's endorsement of Hillary 2008 (Barnes and Noble booksigning, Edina MN, Sunday 04DEC2005)
I'll call you absolutely right about that. And it will work, too.
Makes her look more "centrist".She's got 'em fooled in New York, but I just can't believe she can fool a significant number of Americans.
Please let me be right, or else we're in a heap of trouble.
I wouldn't worry too much. If she moves too far to the right/center, the moonbats will stay home on election day. She's got a razor-thin line to walk here.
Please! Just Michelle pics. ;)
Mmm, hazy.
I don't know who it would be, I just remember what Perot did in'92.
Sheehan, perhaps?
Hillary organized it. It gives her pro defense credibility.
My eyes are feeling much better now!
*rocking back and forth*
It'll be okay... it'll be okay... just think of Michelle Malkin and everything will be better...
Sight... returning... eyes... healing... inner monologue... fading...
I think he's gonna make it...
It has possibilities, that wackjob could pull a third of her thighnesses base.
You know, I was really worried the Dems had smarted up when they got rid of Terry McAwful, but the DNC is just a gift that keeps on giving with Screaming Dean at the helm.
Was that photoshopped? O_o
Thanks for that "lifeline"....I da*n near gouged out my eyes there for a sec!
I wouldn't be surprised if "the beast" had hired these clowns to come in and "protest"...after reading about all of the phony-baloney "Listening Tour" stops that were filled with Hildabeast Groupies I wouldn't doubt it at all!
Video from the '68 Dem Convention. Specifically, Dan Rather getting his @$$ handed to him.
Anyone know anyone who can run against her in New York as a Green or Pink party candidate?
This guy is such a perfect dufus. As much as I loath him, I just love him as he pulls such a king jackass move at such opportune times. Other than frothing Saddam himself, I can't think of another guy I'd rather see as chairman of the RatNC.
You go girl!
bttt
"I believe She Who Must Not Be Named DID stage it."
Rodham backroom machinations busted BUMP!
And that's what these barking moonbats are yearning for; the old hippies, to regain their youth and the young ones, to live through a time long before they were born.
Hillary, looking to bolster her image as a credible mainstream figure on defense and national security matters, couldn't have staged it better herself.Be careful what you wish for, hildebeast. The coronation you're looking forward to might turn into an actual primary election campaign.
Of moonbats and flying broomsticks (Why take the bus when you can fly your broom?):
Hildebeast:
Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the old lady, who fell from a star.
She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Vacaville, she says, is the name of the star.
Moonbats:
Vacaville, she says, is the name of the star.
Hildebeast:
She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Vacaville A miracle occurred.
Dorothy:
It really was a miracle. What happened was just this:
The wind began to switch - the peace train to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
Just then the Ditch Witch - to satisfy a ditch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
Moonbats:
And oh, what happened then was rich.
The bus began to pitch. The broom took a slitch.
It flew with the Ditch Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Ditch Witch.
The bus began to pitch. The broom took a slitch.
It flew with the Ditch Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Ditch Witch.
... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a bitch of what was once the Ditch Witch.
Moonbat #1:
We thank you Rita sweetly, for doing it so neatly.
Moonbat #2:
You've killed her so completely, that we thank you very sweetly.
Hildebeast:
Let the joyous news be spread, The Wicked Ditch Witch at last is dead!
Back to the studio,jr46, this just won't do. ;^)

Out flew the Hitlary Witch - to satisfy a ditch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
Moonbats:
And oh, what happened then was rich.
The bus began to pitch. The broom took a slitch.
It flew with the Bitch Witch to the bottom of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Hitlary Witch.
