Dick Cheney Protester Says Overpowering The Guy Who Grabbed Her Sign Was No Big Deal
"I was there to promote peace, not tug of war."
Michaela Anang, a 21-year-old intern with liberal anti-war group CodePink, says she confronted former Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday to counter criticism of the Iran nuclear deal with calls for peace and diplomacy. Instead, she was greeted with a physical struggle, in which she held off an audience member as he unsuccessfully tried to rip a banner out of her hands.
Anang undoubtedly got the best of her assailant. But many of those who watched the confrontation -- and then probably re-watched it a few more times -- were most delighted by the way she did it: maintaining a tight grip on the sign as she calmly watched the man thrash back and forth. In a fitting end to the spat, the man finally accepted defeat and awkwardly plopped back down in his seat.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Anang, a student at Northeastern University who will return for her fourth year in November, said it shouldn't come as a surprise that she outmatched a man who appeared to have the size advantage. But more importantly, Anang said, she didn't want her tug-of-war victory to overshadow the larger message she delivered at the event.

Candy ass.
until they can use them for their own purpose. Whichever way the wind blows, and all that.
Good on you, Ms. Anang! 
that had to be awkward for him
Allow me to provide the sound effects:
Would-be Sign-Grabber (in whiney, nasal, girlie voice): "Nnnn! Nnnnn! Nnnnn! ...Hmph! I didn't want it anyway."
Sometimes you just have to kick a little ass. Or, in this case, a really big ass.
if she really wanted to. Dude needs more gym time, okay??? Frankly, I have seen more dogs who could pull harder than that.It describes the GOP party to a T.
Pathetic, angry, stupid, losers...
"Oh no, someone is actually putting up a fight against me... 
"
"The Dark Lord" - aka "DICK" were to try to speak and someone tried to even hold up a sign the "right-loonies" would be DEMANDING his freedom to speak - "Look at the Constitution!!!" - and any other BS that would support THEIR agenda.
But, guess we can't do that on our side.
