Code Pink Has No Shame

But they should:

“You did not treat my brothers with respect. You refused to acknowledge them, like you’re refusing to acknowledge me. You mocked their southern accents. You literally turned your backs on them, like you’re turning your backs on me tonight.

“You should be ashamed of the way you treated those soldiers. Ashamed! If that is what you think supporting the troops means — turn your backs on them when they come to talk to you — then you are either a fool, a coward, or a hypocrite. I leave it to each of you to decide which word fits you best.

“The charade is over. We all know that you do not support the troops. If you did, you wouldn’t turn your backs on them. You disrespected my brothers, on our front porch. So let me be absolutely clear: You may have a slip of paper from the City of Washington recognizing your right to stand here, but you are not welcome here.

Speaking truth to…well, not power, but to self-righteous foolishness.
