A member of Code Pink tried to place Karl Rove under citizen’s arrest earlier today for treason, while he was giving a speech at Mortgage Banker’s Association Convention in San Fransisco.
I’m almost certain that the woman had no actual intention of actually arresting Karl Rove, and was merely trying to make a point. Still, I think this will probably do more harm than good in the eyes of the public, at least for now. Who knows, maybe someday, when the full extent of the crimes committed by the Bush administration are finally made public, this woman will be hailed as the next Rosa Parks. Until then, expect to see this treated as what it essentially was; a cheap political stunt.
Also, gotta love that zinger on Rove’s behalf near the end of the video.
