Pelosi home under seige - sprinklers dampen peace protesters.
Besides taking up residence in front of Pelosi's house, Code Pink folks also attempted a sit-in at her San Francisco offices.
Sympathy for Pelosi
A visit to "Camp Pelosi" in front of Nancy Pelosi's house
San Francisco, March 14, 2007
What would it take for someone like me to have sympathy for someone like Nancy Pelosi? She is, after all, the most powerful woman in America at the moment. And she's been positively Machiavellian in her long political career. Not the type of person to arouse much sympathy from the average American.
But then again, the average American has never encountered the likes of Code Pink and its new offshoot, PelosiWatch.
You might think that Nancy Pelosi, being a liberal Democrat, would be a favorite of groups like Code Pink. Not so. The political goalposts have been moved so far to the left in recent years that Pelosi -- as liberal and as powerful as she is -- fails to meet the demands and expectations of Code Pink and similar activist groups. They want George Bush and Dick Cheney impeached. They want not just an end to the Iraq War, but an immmediate end, a complete withdrawal of all troops right now. And she's failed her Code Pink constituents in a wide variety of other ways, as outlined on the PelosiWatch site.
So, if you were a frustrated activist, what would you do?
Become a stalker, of course.
