Tyler Perry's Medea Goes To Washington

The Senate Armed Services Committee held a meeting yesterday on U.S. national security strategy. Soon after the meeting was gavelled into order, the speakers seated at the witness table were swarmed by Code Pink. Among those invited to speak to the committee were former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, and George Schultz.

They wanted to have a go at the ninety-one year old Kissinger. Some individuals brought handcuffs with them, with one person dangling their handcuffs over Kissinger's shoulder. "Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes!" the protesters chanted.

"Get out of here, you low-life scum," said Senator John McCain.

Brilliant quip, but I would have gone a little further than that. After the phrase "low-life," I would have added the word "treasonous."

Breitbart has done excellent research in uncovering Code Pink's connections to Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood had a chance at governing Egypt, blew it, and are now considered an outlaw group by the Egyptian President, Al-Sisi.

The Muslim Brotherhood has a seat at the table. They met with high-level American officials two days ago at the U.S. State Department, then declared open jihad. The next day, they launched a major jihadi operation in the Sinai Peninsula which killed twenty-six people.

Code Pink certainly has a seat at the table. In 2013, founder Medea Benjamin heckled President Obama during one of his speeches. She engaged the President for several minutes, after which Obama said, "The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to." Barack Obama may well be the first U.S. President who invites hecklers personally.

Code Pink is an apparatus of the Democratic Party. Sure, they protest drones and show up to John Kerry testimonials with fake blood on their hands, but that is just to buff their sheen of credibility. Why else would ostensibly anti-war protesters show up at an ALEC meeting at a Dallas Eddie Dean’s BBQ bearing "Democracy not Corporatocracy" signs?

The most ardent goal of this administration is somehow talking Iran out of building atomic weapons. Obama has said, "all options are on the table," to prevent this, which really means he has ruled out military force. He believes relaxing santions on the mullahs will convince them of our good intentions. Code Pink has allocated resources to assist the President's effort, such as sending protesters to harass attendees at last year's AIPAC Conference.

By sending Code Pink to yesterday's Senate hearing, the Obama Administration accomplishes two things. First, this is a brush-back pitch to the newly Republican-controlled Senate. The message? Expect trouble if you bring Iran sanctions to a vote. Second, the testimony of those seated at the witness table got stepped all over by the media's focus on Code Pink's antics.

George Schultz spoke extensively about Iran, underscoring that he feels "very uneasy about the way our negotiations with Iran are going on." How many new organizations are going to report that when Code Pink shows up and throws a party?

Apologies and much respect to Unsavory Agents for the rendering idea.
