Underneath a 40-foot-tall womanâs pink slip held aloft by a helium balloon, about 50 protesters gathered in front of the White House yesterday chanting "Pink Slip George Bush," calling for him to be ousted for his handling of the economy and the war in Iraq.
Take a look at the photo. That thing looks purple to me. As it does in every instance when you search Google images for "code pink." Stupid commies.
The protest was organized by CodePink, a womenâs peace organization whose name was inspired by the governmentâs color-coded terrorism alert system.
I donât recall pink being one of the colors. Oh, right; theyâre colorblind.
The group has previously held daily vigils in front of the White House to protest the war, and last March 8, in honor of International Womenâs Day, CodePink organized an antiwar march that drew thousands of women to downtown Washington. "A lot of women are upset with Bush, so we want to give Bush a pink slip," said Medea Benjamin, one of the groupâs co-founders.
Evil one that she is. See this for more about her and Code Pink.
She said Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that since he took office more than 2.4 million people lost their jobs. CodePink has "morphed" from a protest group to one that is part of an international community to "stop war and support women globally," Benjamin said. The organization has sent four delegations to Iraq and helps run a center in Baghdad to aid Iraqi women. With the White House in the background, the gigantic pink slip with the words "Women Say: FIRE BUSH" billowed and flapped in the wind...
just like their empty slogans.
Linda Jones, 56, a social service worker from Shepherdstown, W.Va., was covered from head to toe in a delicate pink burqa edged with embroidery. She was wearing the garment, she said, to show support for the women "who are hidden behind the veil."
| I'll bet she was really, really supportive when we went into Afghanistan, right?... Right? |
"I ordered it on eBay," Jones said, as she walked in the protest from the National Mall to Lafayette Square. "I ordered white and dyed it myself."
Frigginâ moron. Many women are now free to go burqa-less because of Bush. Go stick your head back up your rear.
