Gaza? She should go to Syria. (Crossing fingers she’s dumb enough to try her brand of theater over there. )

They should have not stopped with breaking her arm. If they actually broke her arm. I would have to see them breaking her arm before I would take her word that they did.

That’s funny, she didn’t mention the broken arm while she was posting pictures from “jail” last night.

Yeah, but the quarantine in Customs when I got back was no picnic. Two weeks of blood worms and reptile pellets. I hate reptile pellets.

“I’m no fan of CodeStink. I disagree with their political agenda. I don’t hate them.

I DO! It’s not a sad consequence, it’s reality. About time Media had a large dose of it.

Not mentioned in the article is code pink told her to shut up until more of their trouble makers were in country. They treated he so bad she had to use a borrowed phone for prison selfies!

“take it off and beat her with the wet end”...My goodness, you must have known my grandfather and my father...I was forever threatened as a kid to stop doing this/that/the other thing by being told that he would rip off my ( any part of the anatomy ) “ and stick the wet end in my face ! Brings back fond memories of having respect for my elders.

Oh, I do. The minute they doled out $600K in 'humanitarian' aid to the 'insurgents' (ie. the scumbags shooting at our soldiers) in Iraq, that line was crossed.

Say it with me: 'Giving aid and comfort to the enemy' ...

Agreed, Klan Pink goes way beyond simply being stupid but good hearted.

They are scum who seek to silence their own members who have been raped while “understanding” bloodthirsty terrorists.

I have a degree of first hand experience with Code Pink outside Walter Reed.

I despise and hate them. There is no "middle ground" with them.

When I saw one of them outside Walter Reed with a "Enlist Here to Die for Halliburton" sign, that pretty much sealed it for me.

Were they concerned she was going to expose her breasts?

anyway, she should thank them for giving a valuable lesson on what the real-world is like.

I guess they were wiser by not giving 0 an opportunity to pull any crap, but it’s hard not to wish that they had locked her up & thrown away the key.
