Code Pink: The Women's Anti-War Movement

FROM A LEADING CONSERVATIVE THINK TANK...

In a Jane Fonda moment, anti-war poster child Cindy Sheehan and members of the anti-American group Code Pink embraced Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez in Caravas in January 2006. Sheehan, urged fellow anti-American activists to help bring down “the U.S. empire.”

Sheehan is the most famous member of Code Pink, which has seized the leadership of women activists opposed to the war in Iraq. Mixing radical feminists and pacifists with Old and New Left Marxists, Code Pink is determined to use opposition to the Iraq war to undermine America’s war on terror.

Behind the deceptive façade of stagy protests and moral outrage, the women running Code Pink are serious and very radical political activists. They subscribe in varying degrees to strands of Marxist, neo-Marxist, and progressive left-wing thought, and their ideas belong to a long and complex history of radical politics going back to the early Bolsheviks.

Code Pink was founded by Jodie Evans (during the 2003 recall election in California she helped engineer a news story about alleged past sexual harassment by Arnold Schwarzenegger), Castro-lover Medea Benjamin, and radical Wiccan spiritualist “Starhawk.”

Code Pink defines terrorism as a by-product of a corrupt system—-America’s. The war on terrorism is a phony war. The U.S. system is the cause of war abroad and a threat to Americans at home. “Real threats” come from within: “The illness or ordinary accident that could plunge us into poverty, the violence on our own streets, the corporate corruption that can result in the loss of our jobs, our pensions, our security.”

Still waiting for the Justice Department to prosecute Code Pink. Any of those men and women really believe in the oath they took to uphold the Constitution and Laws? I'm glad I haven't been holding my breath on this one.

Code Pink isn't anti-war. Medea Benjamin wrote a pro-Castro book glorifying Cuba's bloody overthrow of Batiste.

Nor does Code Pink want Castro prosecuted for Cuban war crimes against Black Africans during Cuba's war in Angola.

I wonder what Code Pink has to say about Castro's UMAP Program?

I happened to talk about allegedly "feminist" organizations which in fact are merely socialist and anti-American organizations which pretend to be in favor of "women's issues." Any organization which favors the Islamofascists, who put their women in bags and treat them like raw meat, is NOT in favor of women.

For a moment there I thought Cindy had grown some...

[Fraxinus]

Rumor has it that that has been......Photoshopped.

[bill1952]

Nah. I pulled it off of a FReeper's action report with a protest warrior counter protest at a code pink protest some time ago.
There is a very dim protest poster behind the guy.

Look at the photo. - there is nothing female like in the whole deal. - Narrow hips, bulge, adams apple, large hands, no chest.

The whole thing is 100% trannie. If that is a shop someone went to a great deal of trouble for something you can see at any kook rally.

It ain't Photoshopped, Frax.

That is Midge/Mitch. He wants to be a she. He wants to be Realshopped (or chopped, as a matter of fact).

DC is so screwed-up.
