CODEPINK ejected from RNC during Bush speech

Father whose son was killed in Iraq and others also dragged out.

As George W. Bush gave his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, Jodie Evans of CODEPINK: Women for Peace revealed a pink slip underneath her dress which read, “Fire Bush! Women Say Bring the Troops Home Now!” She was dragged out of the RNC. Earlier in the evening, Jorge Medina, whose son was killed in the Iraq war, was ejected from the convention for wearing a t-shirt with his son’s photo on it and the words, “Bush Lied, My Son Died.” Two other anti-war activists were also dragged out of the convention. One of their banners read, “Bush Lied, People Died.” Another read, “Strong but Wrong.” This is the third night in a row that CODEPINK activists have brought anti-war messages inside the RNC during prime-time speeches. .
