Obama Funder Raising Money for al-Qaeda Families in Yemen? (Code Pink)
Breitbart Big Government ^ | June 16, 2013 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 06/16/2013 7:47:01 AM PDT by kristinn

Jodie Evans, 2008 Obama bundler and co-founder of the leftist anti-American group Code Pink, is in Yemen this week campaigning against the United States’ efforts in fighting the war on terror. This is in keeping with Code Pink’s decade-long history of working with terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism against the United States.

While in Yemen, Evans is raising money for families of Yemenis being held at the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and possibly the family of slain al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki.

Code Pink sent their top leadership, including Evans, Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin and former diplomat Col. Ann Wright (U.S .Army, Ret.) on this trip to the home of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula for meetings with the Yemeni government, the U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Gerald M. Feierstein , Nasser al-Awlaki and other family members of U.S. drone strike targets as well as Guantanamo detainees’ families.

While Code Pink is an American 501(c)3 tax-exempt group, Evans is also appealing for donations from “international donors” through Evans’ Gmail address in support of the trip to Yemen.

Evans posted a photo on June 13 on Instagram and Twitter of the group’s meeting with Nasser al-Awlaki captioned, “Our @CODEPINK #yemen delegation with Anwar al-Awlaki’s father Nasser, “US killed my grandson, Why?”

Code Pink has apparently deleted from the Code Pink Web site any mention of the group’s meeting with Nasser al-Awlaki. The photo is all that remains to document the group’s meeting with the father of the spiritual leader of al Qaeda who was killed in Yemen on September 30, 2011 by a U.S. drone strike.

Yo, Code Pink, any idea how your buds treat wimmen-folk?

Especially homosexual wimmen-folk?

You ever heard the fable about the frog and the scorpion?

It’s amazing when you think about it. A group that supports Obama and is supported by Obama actively supporting Al Qeada. Oh, wait, Obama is arming Al Qeada in Syria. My bad

Don’t suppose they’ll get audited by the IRS. Just a good, non-political group promoting peace and love.

Wow. I bet that the folks in that picture would be fun to have at a party.

The joy just radiates from them.
