Democracy Now! | Relentless Protest: CODEPINK Activists Ejected From RNC Three Nights in a Row: "While much of the protest at the RNC took place outside the Madison Square Garden, a surprising number of activists managed to disrupt the proceedings inside. For the third night in a row, activists from CODEPINK: Women for Peace were ejected from the RNC after disrupting the primetime addresses of speakers at the convention's podium. Last night during President Bush's acceptance speech, he had to stop speaking twice after activists held up antiwar signs before being dragged from the floor of Madison Square Garden. Activist Jodie Evans revealed a pink slip underneath her dress that read 'Fire Bush! Women Say Bring the Troops Home Now!' Earlier in the evening, Jorge Medina, whose son Irving was killed in the Iraq war was ejected for wearing a t-shirt with his son's photo on it and the words 'Bush Lied, My Son Died.'
When the protesters disrupted Bush's speech, delegates and others in the convention would begin chanting 'Four More Years' in an effort to drown them out. This tactic seems to have been a coordinated response from the Republicans. Twice last night as Bush was speaking, the chant began for no clear reason. Moments later, Secret Service Agents could be seen dragging a demonstrator from the convention. "
