Code Pink crashes an Independence Day naturalization ceremony

Posted on July 7, 2008

President Bush invoked the memory of Thomas Jefferson Friday in welcoming new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony at Monticello, saying “I’ll be proud to call you a fellow American.”

On his final U.S. Independence Day as president, Bush told an audience Friday at the home of the Declaration of Independence’s author that he was honored to be present for the naturalization. Shouts from protesters were heard during Bush’s remarks, and the president responded by saying he agrees that “we believe in free speech in the United States of America.”

Check out the video:

President Bush, although not able to be seen in the video, didn’t seem to be all that flustered and just kept on talking. The crowd, though, booed the Code Pinkos and you can hear them yelling things like, “SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!”

It just amazes me. Is there no low that the Code Pinkos won’t sink to?

Especially interesting is who was involved in this disruption. There was Desiree Farooz, who once assaulted Condoleeza Rice and Code Pink photographer S. Johnson, among your other Code Pink wackjobs. But the most disturbing player was the person who planned this: David Swanson. That would be the same David Swanson who was Dennis Kucinich’s press secretary. Nice to know just who it is the Democrats like the cater to.

Also scary? Farooz is able to run right past the front row up to the stage, and as was pointed out on Free Republic, could’ve easily assassinated President Bush if she had chosen to smuggle explosives underneath her clothing. If she keeps doing this kind of crap, then she is going to get herself killed by the Secret Service one day. It’s only a matter of time.

What’s sad and pathetic is not that the Code Pink wackjobs are protesting. It is the manner in which they choose to, which is immature and elementary. You can express your thoughts about the President, whatever they may be, in a mature, responsible, controlled manner. Breaking into a naturalization ceremony and wreaking havoc for the crowd there is now mature, responsible, or logical. It’s pitiful and disgusting. As I said, is there a low that Code Pink won’t stoop to?
