Hunger-Striker Collapses in Lieberman's Office
Drudgereport ^ | Thu Jun 28 2007 18:35:47 ET | Unknown

Posted on 06/28/2007 5:40:02 PM PDT by bikerMD

Bay area CODEPINK member collapsed in Lieberman's office after 10 days of an ongoing hunger-strike to gain a meeting with the Senator. Outraged by Senator Lieberman's comments on CBS on June 15 about wanting to bomb Iran, CODEPINK member Leslie Angeline, 50, decided to start a hunger strike until she could meet with the senator.

A meeting was scheduled then cancelled by Lieberman's office, resulting in over 50 members of CODEPINK and Iranian, Iraqi, Israeli and Jewish communities to converge on the Senator's office. 3 days later the Senator from Connecticut repeated his accusations and proposed military attack against Iran.

Angeline has been a daily presence in Lieberman's office and passed out in the presence of staffers today. She is in transit to GW hospital to be treated for dehydration. There is still no word from the Senator's staff as to whether she will get a meeting or not.

" There is still no word from the Senator's staff as to whether she will get a meeting or not."

Maybe one of those preprinted 'letters' telling her 'Thanks for sharing your opinion'.

I will chip in for hot dogs and marshmallows if the pinkos start lighting themselves on fire if this hunger stuff does not end the war.

When is this b*tch going to start a hunger strike against that Islamic animal running Iran who says he wants to destroy Israel and seems to be preparing for it with nukes? She had plenty of opportunities when he was here for that UN meeting. Freakin` typical hypocritical wacko moonbat.

Collapsed after ten day hunger strike? Jeeze, they must’ve been anorexic before even starting the hunger strike...either that or diabetic.

hunger strike by pampered liberals don’t mean much these days. They can’t stand being without food for more than a day. Oh the suffering.

Hopefully, the hospital is one of the many mental health institutions there.

From Code pink to Code Red...

Baddum Pish!


Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own

Is this like Mother Sheehan’s Jamba Juice hunger strike?

True.

A number of IRA terrorists did the hunger strike thing back in ‘81.

What did it get them?

It got them dead.

And Margaret Thatcher didn’t change her mind one bit.

Honor her wishes, no hydration or nourishment ... it brings about a sort of euphoria I hear, a peaceful way to go.

Drama Queen. I’ll bet she called the press in advance to make sure her performance was on the evening news.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan announced Wednesday that she plans to begin an "open-ended hunger strike" on July 4 to urge the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq.

I wonder how that hunger strike is coming along.

10 days. I thought that was kinda lame, too. These liberal pikos seem to lack fortitude.

She must have been in bad health to start with. Pump a Bubba Burger in to her and she oughta be good for another 10 days.

Bay area CODEPINK member...

Is that the San Francisco Bay Area? Most Senators won't listen to people from outside their states, why should Lieberman? We just got through a round of Senators sending form letter responses to people who are not constituents, what makes this woman so special?

They already have a video "interview" with the poor, starving dear, from her hospital stretcher, HERE.

A planned, staged, stunt.

Planned in advance, no doubt.

A waste of taxpayer dollars. Medics were forced to treat this publicity stunt seriously, while someone who really needed the ambulance crew was delayed in getting care.

Code Pink does not care.

Angeline has been a daily presence in Lieberman's office
Perhaps the best way to deal with hungerstrikers is to set up a thrice-daily counterdemonstration where everyone sits in the hs line of sight and eats a bunch of delicious take-out food (including vegetarian entrees to really make the hs mouth water) while wearing slogan t-shirts and carrying signs. ;')

9 and 28.
