The women’s antiwar group CodePink was behind the disruption of Representative Paul D. Ryan’s speech on Wednesday night, but it was in part a product of the Romney campaign’s continuing dispute with Ron Paul supporters.
“An angry Ron Paul person was like, here, take my pass,” said Laura Mills, the 21-year-old CodePink intern who was escorted out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum after interrupting Mr. Paul’s speech.
Ms. Mills and a more seasoned activist, Ann Wright, were just waiting for Mr. Ryan to say something about health care. When he did, they yelled, “Health care, not warfare” and “My body, my choice.” Ms. Mills unfurled a banner that read, “Vagina: Can’t Say It? Don’t Legislate It,” a reference to an abortion debate in Michigan when a female lawmaker was barred from speaking after referring to women’s genitals.

These Paul people should have had their butts kicked by their parents years ago.
What little punks some of them still are.
You lost. Better luck next time. No. I don’t actually mean that. Worse luck next time. Your guy is nuts. Give it up.
Sad, if true and it is sad that the Paul Bots put into action that change or rules. They just opened the door to corruption.
Sad, if true and it is sad that the Paul Bots put into action that change of rules if this is true. They just opened the door to corruption. I do hope Romney changes this back if he is sincere. We don’t need any more open doors of this kind.
A lot of Paulistinians are 9/11 truthers.
Birds, feathers, yada yada.
This is exactly how I thought I they got in - through Ron and Rand Paul, who have a strong history of associations with Code Pink activists.
Adam Kokesh is a Code Pink activist who both Rand and Ron Paul have campaigned with - campaigned / endorsed Kokesh in his run for Congress and Kokesh also has campaigned for them - Rand Paul had him as one of the speakers at one of his fundraisers for Senate in 2010.
I actually like a lot of the things Rand Paul has done since getting into the Senate but these kinds of associations make it very difficult to ever put any real trust in him.
I have a feeling it was Paul supporters who called the people animals..
