Huh?
Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the good organization Global Exchange, told TomPaine.com this morning:
Well, we’ve spent the morning dressing ourselves as victims of war, victims of collateral damage. We have blood all over our clothes. We’re wrapped in gauze and mud all over us. We have toys, babies, baby dolls with their heads and their arms blown off of them, and we are symbolizing the death and destruction that is going to come in Iraq.
We went through the halls of Congress this morning to say, "Shame on you. The blood of innocent Iraqis and U.S. service people is on your hands," and [we] marched through the halls of Congress mourning and wailing. Now we’re on our way to march to Donald Rumsfeld’s house, with the same message that the blood of war is on your hands.[link here]
My question is this: when did peace-loving, antiwar folks like Medea Benjamin become so silly? I came close to working for her organization during first-year summer. Why am I now so utterly unable to fathom her antics? Has she completely lost it, or what?
