Medea Benjamin: I would say I do something like this probably
about once a month. Now, it wouldn't get
up as high as the President, but we do go in to meetings at Right wing think
tanks and try to question the people who are the presenters, sometimes just do
it from the audience if there's a Q & A.
The other thing to remember is there was no Q & A during the
Presidents speech. Had there been a Q
& A, I would have just waited for the Q & A and done it then. So sometimes we just wait and ask people
questions. Sometimes if we're really
angry about what they're saying, we'd speak up during the talk. There have been occasions, especially at
these Right wing think tanks, where we actually just go right up on the stage
and try to present a different view.
It's really interesting to see how different people react, but we think
it's important to try to have an
inside/outside strategy, do while we're having the protest on the outside, we
always try to have one or two people go inside.
Rob Kall: OK. Have you prepped or trained other people to
do this kind of thing?
