Alteh "Katchkeh" Instigator for Code Pink tries to blend in but gets kicked out of the Christians United for Israel conference before she could disrupt Jewish and Israeli speakers
I do have a problem with this. Yes, she's there for a bad purpose but she hadn't done anything yet and she had legally purchased a ticket. I get nervous about the balance between being pro-active and being too pro-active. Let's say some pro-Hamas'nik showed up, bought a ticket, and planned to sit quietly through the event while surreptiously recording everything so he could manipulate it later. Would he have been kicked out? But he didn't disturb anyone. And now a precedent has been set - a pro-Israel activist who registers for a Hamas conference so he can see whast they're talking about and secretly record them gets removed as well and that's to our disadvantage.

Wow. That real left thinking.
