A founding member of the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois met in New York City tonight with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Jodie Evans, who co-hosted Obama's first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February 2007 just after Obama announced his candidacy and is a top fundraiser and donor to Obama's campaign, led a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to "serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution" to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
The government of Iran is listed as a state sponsor of terrorism by the State Department and is strongly believed to be developing nuclear weapons.
Obama has stated that he would be willing to meet with Ahmadinejad and other enemies of the United States without conditions. Evans met with Obama in Beverly Hills last week at an exclusive $28,500 per person fundraiser. As a bundler for Obama, Evans is granted regular briefings with top Obama staff members and meeting with Obama and his vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
Obama has come under heavy criticism from military families and troops support organizations over his alliance with Evans.
Evans is co-founder of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink and works with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America in the war on terror. She also has publicly announced her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden and her "love" of Hugo Chavez.
Given Evans' closeness to regular contacts with Obama and his campaign, it is fair to ask if she is acting as an intermediary for Obama.
Obama recently put his seal of approval on Evans' attempt to storm the stage during the acceptance speech of Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska when he welcomed her to his two Hollywood fundraisers last week, the exclusive $28,500 per person event and the $2500 per person event Barbra Streisand sang at the same evening.
Others attending the meeting with Ahmadinejad included anti-American activists who support the terrorists in Iraq and work anti-American governments: Medea Benjamin, Brian Becker, Leslie Cagan, Larry Holmes and Ramsey Clark.
The press release announcing the meeting can be found here.
Update: Jodie Evans issued the following statement tonight on her meeting with Ahmadinejad.
“It’s rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host government —represented by the Bush administration — is so hostile,” said Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODEPINK. “The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.”
Did they do the fist bump?
Wasn’t she also the nut who crashed Palin’s RNC speech?
what about Penny Pritzker
Lord help us if Obama and his code pink supporters get into the White House.
Stunning, yet not surprising.
Jodie will hob-nob with any and all terrorists and dictators.
Apparently, none of these tards have read the Koran or even bothered to take 16 minutes out of their miserable lives to watch the ‘fitna’ video....to the muslims....this is so easy.... like leading lambs to the slaughter....
This wo,an is a treasonist. Why is she still alive.

Even if Obama was somehow (shudder!) elected, Code Pink wouldn't be allowed within a hundred miles of the place. Just like Cindy Sheehan, they would be discarded once their usefulness was exhausted. There is no loyalty amongst the Rats, only pure self-interest.

democrats/liberals - useful idiots - watch all 9 episodes
Thank you for being on top of this, and sharing the word with us. Of course there isn't any need for additional proof that the Code Pink people are anti-Americam scum. But it IS important to rub the MSM's nose in that fact. And this "woman" was at Obama's high dollar fund-raiser in Hollywood, two weeks ago.
Congressman Billybob
The Declaration, the Constitution, parts of the Federalist, and America's Owner's Manual, here.
This was a major gathering of American communists from the Communist Party USA, Committee of Correspondence (a CP-split off), and the Workers World Party and its split-off (Socialism and Liberation crap), plus the Castroites/Chavezites of Benjamin and Evans (connected to the Democratic Party).
This is a warning sign of things to come. The “Axis of Evil” of the American Communist movement has now joined the Axis of Evil of Iran, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba and Nicaragua.
We have been warned. Is anybody listening?
Are my fellow Jews listening? It is Germany, 1938, all over again.
Fission burka spysquirrels macht frei! Code Pink for the Greater Good. Mahdi in our time! Bush derangement fifth column traitors.
WTF? McCain is trying to address the mortgage meltdown and Barama has his cronies meeting with the enemy.
A whole lotta people will be interested in this story. (except dumb jews who would pull the dopes lever cause he’s a rat.)
This should come as no surprise, hussein said he would reach out to foreign leaders.
He’s just letting his surrogates handle the preliminaries before he surrenders to the 12th imams representative.
And I wish like crazy that I were making a joke...
But he couldn't get his ass to Washington to work on the economy.
.. a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to “serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution” to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
The mutual hatred of the US on display at that meeting must have been quite something to observe.
Shameless maroons.
They really don’t ‘get’ the Logan Act. Oh yeah, as the nominee of his party, Obama is now privy to high level national security briefings...which makes this VERY scary.
Remember that character “Ellis” from the first “Die Hard” movie who thought he had terrorists all figured out and that he could sweet talk them out of the situation?
If he was a real person (the terrorists killed him in the movie) he’d belong to this group!!! Sheesh.
Another example that comes to mind were the idiots in “Independence Day” who were welcoming the aliens on the rooftops, dancing and carrying signs—wonder what Ahmagonnastartajihad looks like in pink??
She crashes Palin and sucks up to Nutjob.
Obama, you need to keep your frenemies closer, and on a shorter leash.
Uh......I give up. What about Penny Pritzker?
Amadenejehad to base Iranian Navy in Chicago after talks with Obama advisor. The famous “Navy Pier” will now be renamed, “Iranian Navy Pier”. The famous Irish tradition of dying the Chicago river green for saint Patrick's day has now been changed to being dyed Red for Blood of the Martyrs day. Minarets to be added to Sears Tower Mosque. Wrigley Field to be renamed Obama, Sultan of Swing Park with all Halal food. Meigs field to be base of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps suicide blimp wing. Maxwell St. to be renamed Mohammed Blvd. The "EL" will be segregated by gender and renamed Baraque the flying horse.
She is the one next to Sheehan & Chavez
God help America!
If the Obama camp is trying to negotiate with Iran, it would be illegal.
But he’s the messiah, so good luck making it stick even with iron clad proof....
It is a wonderful series!!! It’s no secret Putin belongs to the ‘I HATE AMERICA & DEMOCRACY CLUB’ along with the Muslim world. The problem is....he and Russia will be the first to go when the sh!t goes down.....
Uh, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but isn't this the job of the state department and defense department?
A photo of American traitors posing with a Communist dictator.
Maybe she is to be Obama’s Sect. of State.
Jodie Evans:
For longtime activist Jodie Evans, 52, co-founder of the national “women for peace” organization Code Pink, the choice rarely came down to deciding between her activism and her kids. She just incorporated her two sons in her work, whether they liked it or not.
“I was pregnant with them in activism,” says Evans, “I nursed them in activism, and I dragged them here, there and everywhere for activism. They lived their lives on the floors of campaign offices. Sometimes they would complain, but now they’re very proud of the work I do. And I think it was good for them. They learned a lot of skills and it made them very independent. People always commented on how mature they were.”
Evans proceeds to proudly divulge an example that some parents might be less quick to share: When her son, Jan Krajewski, now a 26-year-old artist, was 10, Evans says, she was going to a march for choice in Washington DC, and he really wanted to go too.
“We took a red-eye and the plane was full of parents with girls his age,” says Evans, “and the kids stayed up all night while the adults slept. So when we arrived in Washington, Jan was just dead tired, in no condition to march. I took him into the National Gallery and put him to sleep on a bench and told him I’d be back after the march. So I did the march without him, and when I got back, he was still asleep!”
Evans says her younger son, Matthew Palevsky, now 21, has always been an activist. When he was 12, he organized Santa Monica private school students to visit the City Council to lobby for gun control; he spent time in Scotland working on drug policy and was part of the effort to legalize medical marijuana in Rhode Island, where he’s now working for a Democratic congressional candidate. Evans is thrilled that Matthew has continued her legacy.
Photo?
Darn you! Now I won't get any sleep worrying over that tonight!
Will she be waving a "peace in our time" letter from President Tom?
From 1973 to 1982, Jodie worked on the campaigns of California governor Jerry Brown and served as his director of administration. She also oversaw the Office of Appropriate Technology, ushering in breakthroughs in wind and solar energy. Between 1985 and 1990, she supported women candidates for federal office as a board member of the Women’s Campaign Fund and Women’s Political Committee. She ran Jerry Brown’s campaign for president in 1991.
In the early 1990s Jodie opened the first environmental department store, Terra Verde, along with Tom Hayden and Cathryn Tiddens. Jodie serves on the boards of numerous non-profits including Rainforest Action Network, Drug Policy Alliance, Bioneers, the Garden Project, Community Self- Determination Institute, 826 LA, and the Circle of Life Foundation.
A mother of three, Jodie is a harpist, gardener, and potter when not working to end war.
Not sure if you are referring to Carter or Chamberlain, but you are right on!
I heard Rush mention her name last week, about a reception for our small friend, (I can say that, because I am tiny ;} being held in the Hyatt; which Penny’s family owns... I think that was the gist of it.
Also, Penny it is my understanding, that Penny is a MAJOR Obama fundraiser.
Tatt
It can be argued that there are no bigger enemies of the United States than many that reside in Washington.
Mixed nuts, that's for sure!!! I feel sorry for her sons, having to deal with her neglect of them for her 'causes', and for her infecting them with liberalism! :-( What a waste.
So, did Obama allow reporters to accompany his aide to this meeting??? Did he even allow TV cameramen, or photogs? I’m guessing no...
He just couldn’t wait to be elected before sitting down with terrorist dictators could he... Oh what I would give to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting and hear what was REALLY said!
I don’t see how anyone can take us seriously as a nation anymore.
We have the son of a dem politician committing a felony by hacking the private email account of the republican VP nominee, and nothing is done.
The democrat nominee for president has met with the Prime Minister of Iraq in an attempt to undermine the POTUS and official US policy, and nothing is done.
Top members of the Obama campaign meet with a foreign leader who is considered our enemy, and nothing is done.
We have federal immigration laws that countless cities and municipalities have made a policy of ignoring, and nothing is done.
Greedy CEO’s and dem enacted legislation that has caused the near collapse of the banking and mortgage industries, and nothing is done (except of course for having US foot the bill for their greed/incompetence).
A media that has been fellating a terrorist sympathizing, black supremacist church going Barrack Obama while making up outrageous lies and slandering anyone who dares speak out against him, and nothing is done.
And on, and on, and on.
So I ask, in all seriousness, how in the world can we still be considered a serious nation? What is happening in this country is beyond sickening.
call me if you need me!
