Student Republicans Move To Oppose Code Pink

The plot in Berkeley continues to thicken. The Daily Californian is reporting that a group of students are trying to get the same permits that “Code Pink” currently has. This should be interesting to watch.

The Berkeley College Republicans are looking to get the same permit privileges that anti-war group Code Pink use to protest outside the Marine recruiting center in Downtown Berkeley.

Working with Councilmember Kriss Worthington, the group is asking for sound waiver permits and a parking spot reservation outside the center on Wednesdays from 12 to 4 p.m., the same time Code Pink protests outside the center, said Kimberly Wagner, activism chair for the Berkeley College Republicans.

“(Code Pink’s) claim is that they’re protecting free speech,” she said. “I kind of don’t feel they are, they are inhibiting the recruitment center in general. It’s important that they are not unopposed, that there are people willing to fight them. Even though it’s Berkeley, the liberal center of America, there will be people (opposed).”

All American Blogger applauds the Berkeley College Republicans. It’s sad that the city council of Berkeley is allowing the liberal wingnuts from Code Pink to harass our Marines. Let’s see if they will allow the same freedom to speak to these conservative students that they have allowed to the liberal protesters.
