2012 Republican Convention: Protesters Dressed as Vaginas Greet Delegates (Video)

Pro-choice protesters accost delegates at the Republican National Convention as they arrive to party with country star Rodney Atkins.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Giant, walking vaginas have descended upon the Republican National Convention.

Several demonstrators from the feminist group Code Pink wore frilly pink costumes while others adorned with cardboard cutouts resembling the sexual organ were milling about Sunday looking for Republicans.

A Florida website called Shark-Tank.net captured video of some of them during their preparation (video below). The protesters carried signs saying such things as, “Read my lips. Leave my vagina alone,” and argued that pro-life Republicans are waging a war against women.

But with the official proceedings, along with two Lynyrd Skynyrd concerts and the premiere of an anti-Occupy Wall Street movie canceled Sunday and Monday due to weather, it wasn’t until Sunday night at The Welcome Event that the protesters found a large group of Republicans to confront.

As several thousand conventioneers arrived in buses at Tropicana Field, an indoor stadium where baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays play, they were met by about 400 protesters -- some of whom were in their vagina costumes. By that time, though, convention-goers hardly took notice of the crowd, and well-armed police and military personnel kept the demonstrators away from the party inside the stadium.

Whose brilliant idea was this? Do the rats really believe that dressing up ugly women in vagina costumes, and prancing around the GOP convention, will entice America to vote dem?

Romney/Ryan should send them a check in thanks.

My apologies for the redundancy.
Not necessary. Think of this as a "teachable moment." :)

Now that would be funny...xxx rated, but funny

[Buckeye McFrog]

Unlike many other conventions where delegates are greeted by the real deal...

[From The Deer Stand]

I had to laugh out loud on this one!

What red-blooded Republican male doesn't enjoy a nicely shaped frisky vagina? I am all for young, pretty liberal Women coming out and showing their vaginas to convention delegates! (/sarcasm)

Seriously, taste, decorum, and public spectacle are concepts like honesty are not part of the current Democratic Party campaign process. It is all about shock and awe and trying to get media air time in the hope of pumping up loosing election number for Dear Leader.

I wonder if the designed those costumes in their own self image? :>)

[Lurker]

SOmehow I don’t think these women have any difficulty having their vaginas left alone.

[Datom]

“taste” LOL

“I am all for young, pretty liberal Women coming out...”
You don’t want to wait too long for this to happen. The heavens and the earth might pass away first.

The costumes were most likely from performances of the Vagina Monologues.

I cannot understand how a woman would want to reduce herself to a vagina. At one of the colleges that was putting on the play, a group of guys got together and dressed themselves as giant penises and went to greet the vaginas.

Egads. How low civilization has sunk.

“Read my lips. Leave my vagina alone”

No problem.

[brooklyn dave]

Couldn’t they wait for Halloween to do that? Maybe I’ll go as a vagina for Halloween.

[outofsalt]

A cunning stunt.

[MrB]

Stay out of my wallet and I’ll stay out of your...

ooo..

nevermind.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I cannot understand how a woman would want to reduce herself to a vagina.

Who do they think they are...men?

[Eva]

So, you think that woman is nothing but a vagina? That says a lot about you.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I apologize for assuming you would recognize an obvious joke...won't happen again.
