Code Pink started out by trying to hand "pink slips" (symbolically "firing") to President Bush, Hillary Clinton, and other members of Congress that supported the war in Iraq. In November 2002, they devised Code Pink as a play on the [[Department of Homeland Security]]'s Code Red terror alert system.<ref>[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/03/06/ED126988.DTL Code Pink Alert] SFGate, March 6, 2003</ref> Code Pink has since evolved into a hate group: members are to be united in their hatred of President Bush, America and anybody that supports going after terrorists. Their rallies include women of all backgrounds and men that are abortion supporters, 9/11 conspiracy believers; their members chant "Fascist State" and include open-border supporters waving upside-down American flags. Code Pink will protest returning wounded troops at Walter Reed Medical Center. Code Pink will unlawfully block military recruiting centers. Code Pink looks the other way as its followers vandalize war memorials. In September 2008, Code Pink members stole media passes to gain entrance into the [[Republican]] convention.<ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=35233 Code Pink Used Reporter's ID Tag to Disrupt Convention Event] CNSNews, Septemeber 5, 2008</ref>

{{Cquote|There is a very easy way for to prevent anyone from being put into harms way and that is for [[Saddam Hussein]] to disarm.  And I have absolutely no belief that he will.  I have to say that this is something that I have followed for a decade.  If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming.  There may be progress, we may be destroying his missiles, there is no accounting for the [[Weapons of mass destruction|chemical and biological stocks]]. I just have to respectfully disagree what the proximate cause of any action that might be taken is. }}
