She mentions the values of the constitution at the end.
Some people are saying she is the same woman that got arrested with Adam Kokesh at the Jefferson memorial for dancing:

I've discovered her name is Medea Benjamin, and she leads the peace organisation "code pink":

Sad to see all the hateful comments on moxnews
We should insist that our government follow the rule of law, not to protect terrorists, but to protect us.
Great comment! I wish I could
Great comment! I wish I could upvote you more than once for that one.
I love the "Shame on You!"
as her final comment! What a bunch of crap! So much for free speech. Each Ron Paul supporter needs to become active in their local district NOW! The only way to end this is for RP supporters to not just show up at his speeches, but to give their time and dedication on the local political level.
betty
Yes, you have freedom of
Yes, you have freedom of speech. But, if you exercise that "freedom" we're going to drag you away.
Here is her version of it: http://original.antiwar.com/mbenjamin/2012/05/01/why-i-inter...
"I was handcuffed and taken to the basement of the building, where I was questioned about my background and motives. To its credit, it seems the Wilson Center thought it would not be good to have someone arrested for exercising her right to free speech, so I was released."
Spot on...
What are you willing to do to confront the lies and tyranny?

Medea Benjamin, Cindy Sheehan, Same NWO ilk HATE Ron Paul
As long as Ron Paul is a Republican standing for a Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights, Medea Benjamin, Cindy Sheehan and the many liberals, who are working hard for a NWO, Global Government based on PEACE, will NOT join us. We are IGNORANT, MYOPIC, FOOLISH, Capitalists, who, in their opinion are a BIG part of the problem.
We can take our Ron paul, Rand Paul, Ayn Rand, capitaistic buts OUT of their radar, because they worship any MSM/NPR they get and will never include Ron Paul in a positive way.
That is a FACT.
These women employ "anti-war" as a cover for ANTI-AMERICA

Code Pink
The same group who confronted C. Rice. Remember the "you have blood on your hands moment" the ladies approached her and put their simulated bloody hands in her face on live TV. Priceless. They got thrown out then too, I could be wrong, but I believe M. Benjamin was amongst the group. This group is VERY antiwar they roll with the likes of Sheehan, one of my personal heros:-) I wouldn't doubt they support RP since he is the only antiwar candidate, they hate Obomba, their main interest is peace.
I've discovered her name
Medea Benjamin, and she leads the peace organisation "code pink":

I'm not sure what she makes of Ron Paul. She holds a lot of his same beliefs yet she considers herself a 'leftist'.
I know this is what it takes
I know this is what it takes to stop the insanity but good grief I'm worried about this young woman!
That lady ROCKS!

The most beautiful courageous patriotic thing I have seen
In my lifetime. And the most powerful video I have seen all year
This is the video that should be seen by EVERYONE
Here is a YouTube version (thanks MOX news)

Please bump this to the top if you agree and feel what she just did.
I don't
I agree with Ron Paul, and to me, if you don't support Ron Paul I don't trust you or even like you. I do not like the liberal anti-war because they are actually ANTI-AMERICA. They get NPR/MSM coverage, Ron Paul doesn't. They HATE Ron Paul. Won't mention him.
So to me.. they are just NWO props, keep the liberals in line.

Oh. Which Ron Paul would that be?
The Ron Paul I'm talking about has publicly come out against the drone policy consistently and strongly.
The Ron Paul I'm talking about is the only candidate for president that wants an immmediate end to the wars and doesn't want us over there at ALL.
The Ron Paul I'm talking about would have echoed that young womans words exactly, endorsed what she did, and especially the part at the end about the Constitution and Bill of rights.
I have no idea what Ron Paul you're talking about.
The RESTORE THE REPUBLIC Ron Paul
Ron Paul has NEVER ECHOED "thast young womans" ECHO of Michael Moore's, "Shame on you" to W Bush.
I have not seen the video, however, I know Medea Benjamin, who has been mentioned repeatedly in this thread (and I know of Cindy Sheehan) Whom neither anti-war activist, like anti-war Justin Raimondo refuse to endorse Ron Paul.
Ron Paul echoed that young women, eh? What an insult. That young women didn't echo Ron Paul. That's right, she didn't, she wouldn't. And that is why these young women, who magically get MSM attention, unlike Ron Paul, they never mention Ron Paul, and now you say Ron Paul "echos them".
Ron Paul is MY political leader. Not her.

""It's about coalitions, not bipartisanship"
Its about forming alliances on issues, not compromising.
We don't win over any liberals or independents with people like you around.
Go take your reactionary hate projection somewhere else troll.
It's NOT about "coalations"
As a former 12 year Ralph Nader volunteer who worked with many Greens and Socialists, who were very nice people, and I KNOW many very nice and not so nice socialists and communists where I live, BAITING people with BS is not how you "win hearts". No one likes being BETRAYED. These folks are NOT for Ron Paul ans Restoring The Republic. They have been very open about NOT liking Ron Paul because he is a Republican and they HATE the Republic, what nothing to do with the Republic, except to change it to a NWO, UN outpost.
What Ron Paul supporters have in common is TRUTH. That is how we win.

Sometime Soon
Sometime soon, standing up and speaking out your conscience, you more likely be drag away and be never heard from again. Surprisingly, people in the audience didn't applause once she was remove. They sat there in silence, I am hoping her words sunk into those minds.
That's not an audience, its the press corp
They're reporters. Like in Presidential briefings etc
This woman deserves a standing ovation.
Bravo. Front page material.

She ended on a good note
