Barney Frank interrupted Geitner suggesting people in the back of the room lower their signs

Panning to a group of Code Pinker's, he suggested further the need for a serious review of the issue before them and the need for people to grow up. Is he right (to have) done so and suggested such a thing as growing up?

1. Frankly, I agree with him.
We can express ourselves without this now. I think Code Pink tactics need to change with the times.

57. Democracy or even our Democratic Republic is NOT a finishing school. The rancorous the BETTER.
I love it! Congress has ****ed up our country also and they need to be constantly CHECKING themselves. No, I don't want any congress critter to be TOO COMFORTABLE.
God Bless Code Pink!

6. He's right. They do more damage than good with their silliness.

10. I'm sick of Code Pink and all other attention whores.
It served a purpose when Bush was in the White House and no one was questioning him, but that time has passed.

41. Not at all
Protesting outside a building is one thing. Disrupting a meeting at which important matters of national security are being discussed is irresponsible.
It would be the same difference between nurses picketing outside a hospital and nurses picketing inside an operating room.

24. no, the people are not allowed to disrupt a Congressional hearing
I don't support that whatever the cause. I don't support it if it's anti-choicers or CP. Stand there and hold your signs. Fine. Disrupt and take the consequences. And no, it's not always the people that force the issues in this country. It's quite frequently those in elected office or in positions of leadership

37. One might say Code Pink's attitude proves that they don't care about anything but attention

42. lol.
since when is CP "the people"? Because they say so? They're supported by a tiny minority. The majority don't have any interest in them and certainly don't support them. Sorry, they don't have any more of a right to disrupt a hearing than some right to life group.
Irony enough to build a battleship out of. :rofl:

There's a thin line between 1/19/09 and 1/20/09. :whatever:

how amusing - just like Obama can't seem to do anything but campaign, the lefty protest groups only know how to make noise. Enjoy the monster you created, leftists.

And just whooooo has been in control of Congress since 2006? Here's a hint: it's not the Republicans.

Actually there's been a lot of anti-Code Pink on DU for a while now, well before Obama took office.

Code Pink were heros when they practically assaulted Condoleezza Rice. It wasn't THAT long ago.
