Did the Code Pink members who interrupted John McCain's speech last night use MSNBC press badges to get into the hall? Not according to Code Pink itself, which claims the two women "obtained passes to the convention from disaffected Republicans."
Right.
There is another much more intriguing explanation out there. According to Shay at Booker Rising, which describes itself a newsite for black moderates and black conservatives [emphasis added]:
"I took the shuttle bus back to Minneapolis, and I overheard a convention organizer named Phil telling a convention delegate that the protesters on Wednesday night got through because of media credentials that were traced back to MSNBC (he told her that each credential has an individual bar code for each convention invitee). They suspect MSNBC this time as well."

Too back he didn’t get it on a cell phone video like the conventioneer did with Fowler on the plane. That worked. Busted!

I hate MSNBC to the hilt, but I need a bit more proof then some guy named “Phil” saying it was MSNBC providing the badges. Trust me, I want this to be true but it’s a bit thin right now.

Well there’s the photo of Medea with her “Annie Eckrich” RNC nametag on.

At the very very least, someone or someones ought to lose press credentials permanently and be banned from future conventions as long as they live. That would have to require vetting by some other identifer than name. But this is America, we can figure out how to do that.

“
They knew it was coming because they broke away to show that area many times too far in advance”
Good point. We watched the speeches on C-Span. They panned over there a couple of times and we wondered why they were even showing the sign-bearer. At least he was quiet, but I still wonder why he wasn’t taken out.

Sorry, now I see the name tag. What a wicked cow. I suspect her real estate business may suffer this fine autumn. I really don’t understand.

Great idea. Then they would all have to wear pink.
What’s the maximum amount of time they could be held for disrupting a convention?

It apparently does not surprise Pat Buchanan who was savaged by Chris Matthews who demanded of him to produce who in the MSM was dissing Mrs.Palin. Matthews denied it and Pat continued to assert it. Pat said, after Matthews got out of hand, "Listen Buddy,.....". Matthews made a specticle of himself.
Maybe Matthews should look into the mirror. You should see the video on Youtube.

I have contacted MSNBC and requested them to indicate whether or not they’re able to confirm the story.
To: quintr
I think they like wearing pink. They are, after all, pinkos. Well, reds, really, but pink is close to their natural color.
They should wear Hamburgler black and white striped jail outfits.
