Code Pink Expresses Concern Over Obama Policy Shift
FoxNews.com ^ | December 8, 2008 | Hannity & Combs Interview

Posted on 12/12/2008 8:20:23 PM PST by smokingfrog

ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: President-elect Obama made it very clear in one of his debates that he would meet without preconditions with leaders of rogue countries, like Iran and Syria, and while many blasted him for this comment, our next guest probably welcomed this diplomatic approach. Now liberal antiwar group Code Pink is concerned the soon-to-be president is shifting too much to the center and even points to some of his cabinet picks as being too hawkish.

Joining us now from Code Pink is Medea Benjamin.

Is that an accurate summation, Medea, of your position?

MEDEA BENJAMIN, CODE PINK: Yes. Yes, I would say that's accurate. We're concerned about his cabinet positions. We're concerned about everybody from Hillary Clinton to Bob Gates to John Jones. We don't think they represent the kind of change that people voted for.

The biggest issue to date for the pinkies is that he has already flip flopped on his pull the troops out immediately. Isn’t that why the peaceniks didn’t vote for Hillary? And then they got Hillary light after he went to Iraq and got a dash of reality.

Benjamin is an Obamie commie who now thinks that Obamie isn’t commie enough.

Well, she can go back to screwing Chavez, Ortega and Castro where she is always welcomed.

Alan Colmes is too stupid to realize who he is dealing with, or he just doesn’t care. Either way, he is a loser.

Did these nitwits REALLY think Odumbo would pull out of Iraq? Did they really think this? Or, are they PRETENDING they REALLY thought it? And, which is worse, REALLY or PRETENDING? Or, LYING or BELIEVING IT’S THE TRUTH YOU’RE TELLING? Which is worse? Really.

LOOOOOOOOOooooooooSers!

They were so busy whipping themselves into a frenzy and having "Obasms", that they failed to look at "The Ones" history, in places like say:"Kenya:2007".

Not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Maybe they will radicalize even further and become clones of the formerly active Bill Ayers, and then we can send 'em to GITMO.

Its not about them. Its ALL about Obama.

Which is why few conservatives voted for him.

Obama is a man with NO principles, they vary according to polls and the moment.

Since they believe their own BS, they will believe any one else’s.

Stupid broad doesn’t realize he’s not ever going to move them out of Iraq. Even Monica knew when she was being used. Too Funny.

Pray for W and Our Troops

“The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer” ... and ... “We live in a great and free country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction.”
~ President Theodore Roosevelt

------

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
~Future President Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)
