Lehman chief on hot seat Fuld grilled on bankrupt firm's bonus plans worth millions By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS Associated Press Oct. 6, 2008, 10:47PM WASHINGTON — The now-bankrupt investment bank Lehman Bros. arranged millions in bonuses for fired executives as it pleaded for a federal lifeline, lawmakers learned Monday, as Congress began investigating what went so wrong on Wall Street to prompt a $700 billion government bailout.The first in a series of congressional hearings on the roots of the financial meltdown yielded few major revelations about Lehman's collapse, and none about why government officials, as they scrambled to avert...

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

Top Obama fundraiser Jodie Evans stated she used C-SPAN credentials without the cable news outlet's knowledge at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul last week.Also, her Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin bragged to the press at the Democratic National Convention that she had convention press credentials under the name of a Christian radio netweork.Evans, who has been a part of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign finance operations since the beginning of his run for the White House in February 2007, charged the stage when Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was making her acceptance speech. She claimed to...

It turns out a protest aimed at disrupting events at last week's Republican National Convention had a Fort Wayne connection. Fort Wayne realtor Annie Eckrich says her stolen identification was used by operatives to illegally gain entry onto the convention floor. Eckrich, who was an alternate delegate to the Republican Party extravaganza in Minneapolis- St. Paul, says she didn't know anything about what happened until a reporter called her, asking if she'd handed over her credentials to protesters. The story has gotten national attention on several political blogs. One of those blogs has displayed a picture of a simple badge...

A photo of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his Code Pink bundler, terrorist supporter Jodie Evans, has finally surfaced. Ironically, it most likely was released by Code Pink.The photo is included in a video report by WCCO-4 in Minnesota about Evans and her Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin infiltrating the Republican National Convention the night of vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech Wednesday night.The WCCO reporter, Esme Murphy, included the unsourced photo of Evans and Obama to illustrate Code Pink's claim that they go after both sides. Murphy describes the photo as a Code Pink member "interrupting Obama", yet...

One of Barack Obama's elite fundraisers from the anti-American group Code Pink attempted to storm the stage last night during Republican vice presidential nominee Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the GOP convention in St. Paul.Jodie Evans, one of a group of about 500 top financiers who have bundled tens of thousands of dollars for the Obama campaign was seized by the Secret Service after she had made her way to side of the stage and and started to yell at Palin.The Washington Post reported on the incident:10:45 p.m. A pair of Code Pink activists just got to the...

How does the pro-terrorist group Code Pink infiltrate closed events where the U.S. Secret Service is in charge of security? One way is with fake press credentials made by a diarist at the Daily Kos.Code Pink has made a habit of infiltrating events and getting close to officials under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service.Yesterday Code Pink member Desiree Farooz rushed the stage and came dangerously close to President Bush at Monticello. The weekend before she rushed John McCain. Last fall she got close enough to Condoleeza Rice to place her hands around the Secrtary of State's head.At the...

This quote was from Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, an organization that gave $600,000 in cash and supplies in "humanitarian aide" to an insurgent-controlled Fallujah several years ago in our current war (the Marines won anyway, which is perhaps why Code Pink is leading the assault against the Marines in Berkeley). That is just one toxic outburst is a collection of indefensible comments from the radical fringe of the Democratic Party laughably called "progressives" in a series of personal attacks levied at Presidential candidate John McCain and chronicled by Ben Smith in a Politico article. Prominent progressive blogger John...

DC Moonbat Convergence March 19th, 2008 Another day, another protest. Today is ANSWER’s “Day of Action”. Since the Iraq War started five years ago today, all of the organizations that have sprung up to cash in on the war decided to have an eight-ring circus in downtown Washington DC, because as one IVAW member told me, the war is about money - apparently for the moonbats, too. My coverage was abruptly ended when I was ID’d as “one of those Milblog guys at Winter Soldier”, so excuse me for not getting all I should have.I was there bright and early...

A few months ago, a day before one of the occasional marches the Capital sees demanding an end to the Iraq War, I began the descent into the Metro stop near my office, looked up, and saw a number of representatives of Code Pink standing at the railing overlooking the escalator. Or rather, I heard them first. They were screaming at the parade of commuters, at the top of their lungs and in a tone somewhere between simple frustration and righteous anger, "End the war!!!" Well, I thought, that ought to take care of things. Good work, hippies! I kid...

Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin, who can turn the air blue when shouting chants against American Marines called out for the Marines in front of Marine Recruiting offices in Berkeley yesterday. Eamon Kelley, the young Marine who is featured in Move America Forward’s TV commercial that ran on Fox News earlier this week, could hardly believe his own ears when Benjamin called on the Marines for help. Kelley, who is recovering from back surgery, spent his day in Berkeley, where CodePink continues with Berkeley council’s blessing, to keep a virtual blockade at the recruit center, expanding its efforts to harass...

Code Pink has it's Pink Panties in a Twist over Berkeley Boycott Written by Melanie Morgan    Sunday, 03 February 2008 Medea Benjamin (co-founded of Code Pinko) forwarded to me her nasty response to Karl G. who wrote that his company is now boycotting Berkeley.First, the snarky, ugly comments of Benjamin (remember, she sent over $600,000 to the families of terrorists who have murdered our troops.)If you are so proud of your action, Karl, then why don’t  you sign your last name or say what your business is? Perhaps you’re worried that the IRS might ask why you spent so much...

One morning last August in San Francisco, six women in pink sweaters marched up a hilly boulevard towing pink roller bags full of shoes. They unzipped the bags in front of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's house, dumped the shoes on her lawn, and went on to arrange loafers, pumps, and pink glittery sandals like hawkers at a yard sale. Anchoring their display was a pair of combat boots, placed on Pelosi's doorstep. The boots, like the other shoes, had been pulled from a dead body in Iraq—the body of Casey Sheehan, in fact, whose mother, Cindy, is running as an Independent...

I went to the Ron Paul rally tonight to get a sense of the candidate and the people who support him. The venue was the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver. The hall was packed, standing room only. I would estimate over 3,000. I didn't expect to find that many people on a Friday evening. (Event time was 6:00-7:30pm)The session was opened with a prayer then the usual string of self-congratulatory speeches by various campaign workers.Dr. Paul got up to speak and because the Rally coincided with his 51st wedding anniversary, he spent a few moments praising his wife and...

First there was the menacing claim broadcast on Spanish-language television that "someone might crack your head like a coconut." Next came three death threats. Finally, as the peace loonies recently piloted their Dodge Ram pickup onto SW Eighth Street, an angry crowd composed mostly of Cuban exiles — spitting and wielding makeshift weapons — ripped away a banner and chased them for blocks. "It was mayhem," says 50-year-old peacenik Tighe Barry. "I took a right-hand turn, and there were hundreds of crazy people rushing us with poles that had points at the end."

Peace activists in pink dresses and tiaras demanded the arrest of anti-communist militant Luis Posada Carriles Saturday, but aborted plans for a demonstration in Little Havana after Carriles supporters rushed their vehicle.The six activists, of the Codepink anti-war group, had planned to speak to reporters outside the landmark Versailles restaurant to publicize their campaign against Carriles-- a former CIA operative wanted in Venezuela in connection with the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner. However they were met by some 200 irate Cuban-Americans who consider Carriles a champion of freedom. Some ran at the activists' truck as they arrived, tearing off...

CODE PINK'S MANIPULATION OF THE MEDIA. Code Pink's leader, Medea Benjamin, was arrested in Pakistan and deported. She claims that she was abused by the Pakistani police, but her claims are just more staged media manipulation from a master manipulator. Arrest Not Spontaneous The arrest of Medea Benjamin in Pakistan was not a spontaneous event even though, at first glance, it may appear that way. It was timed to coincide with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on U.S. funding for Pakistan. The hearing, which was scheduled for Dec. 6, was advertised well in advance of that date (See Schedule...

On our tenth day in Pakistan, my colleague Tighe Barry and I, both human rights activists with CODEPINK and Global Exchange, were arrested at gunpoint by agents of the Pakistani government. We had just left a student rally and were driving down the streets of Lahore with a car full of Pakistani journalists and lawyers. Two cars and six motorbikes came screeching up, blocked our car, piled out with guns drawn, dragged the journalists and lawyers out of the car, beat the bystanders, and hijacked the car. With the two of us huddled in the back surrounded by shouting police,...

Pakistan police today arrested the leader of the feminist U.S. antiwar group Code Pink, who was in Lahore for a student peace rally, according to a spokeswoman for the group. Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the group, was arrested by plainclothes police with guns drawn and taken to a police station in Lahore, spokeswoman Dana Balicki said. Police also arrested Tighe Barry, a longtime Code Pink activist, who was participating with the student rally outside the Lahore Press Club. The students were protesting the emergency rule imposed Nov. 3 by President Pervez Musharraf. Police told Ms. Benjamin and Mr. Barry...

Fidel Castro groupie Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the Marxist pro-terrorist group Code Pink, smeared Vietnam vets today in a statement at a protest held outside a Marine recruiting center in Berkely, California.Benjamin was there to counter Move America Forward, a pro-victory group that was holding a pro-troops rally at the recruiting center in response to Code Pink's efforts to have the recruiting center evicted from Berkeley.Wendy Patterson, reporting at 95210: The East Bay Blog, quoted Benjamin derisively referring to the pro-victory demonstrators:"There’s a lot of angry people over there with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder], you know, Vietnam Vets. They have...

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - Peace activists Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright have been arrested in the U.S. while protesting the Iraq war, but they never dreamed that would prevent them from entering Canada. The arrests landed Benjamin's and Wright's names in an FBI-run database, the National Crime Information Center, which Canada also relies on to screen visitors. When the two women visited the country in August, they were told they would have to apply for "criminal rehabilitation" and pay $200 if they wanted to visit again. Neither did. On Wednesday, Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, and...

St. Cindy’s just about out of absolute moral authority so they brought along a father of a soldier killed in action to shield them from the flak they’ll be taking for this latest stunt. The occasion was a Heritage Foundation panel on the war led by Fred Kagan, one of the architects of the surge, and featuring leftist bete noire Michael O’Hanlon. The woman in the first clip in the black dress and glasses is Medea Benjamin, of course; she and the Pinkos have traded their standard gear lately for “civilian� clothing the better to infiltrate events like these. Most...

The Network of Spiritual Progressives Strategizing with leaders of the Anti-War Movement Posted Friday, September 07 2007 Rabbi Michael Lerner This is a slightly edited version of a phone conference call convened by the NSP with the goal of establishing more contact and cooperation between various segments of the anti-war movement, and encouraging long-term strategic thinking.

The jaw-dropping attacks on Michigan Congressman John Conyers this week by members of the white, leftist sector of this nation’s antiwar movement have proven how deeply racism exists. Conyers was picketed and attacked by leading activists and spokespeople of the anti-war movement because he, as chair of the House Judiciary Committee, determined that there did not exist enough votes to move to the floor of the House of Representatives a discussion of the impeachment of president George Bush for creating the war in Iraq. “Conyers has betrayed the American people,” bawled Global Exchange and Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin. “Conyers...

Pillars of the Hate America Left, who have taken great pains to aid the enemy in every American military venture for 20 years, just returned {in January) from Iraq, where they delivered more than half-a-million dollars in aid to “the other side”– with the full knowledge and consent of left-wing Congressman Henry Waxman, D-CA. Waxman signed a letter allowing radical leftist Medea Benjamin and a dozen of her cohorts – some of whom had lost relatives in the Iraq War – to slip the $600,000 of cash and supplies into camps housing refugees from Fallujah, with less outside scrutiny of...

Cindy Sheehan, Tom Hayden, and the Hate America Left meet with pro-Ba'athist members of the Iraqi parliament to discuss “peace.” TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HATE AMERICA AS MUCH AS THEY DO, the Fifth Column Left had to go halfway around the world to meet with Iraqi political leaders who call terrorism “honorable national resistance” and say foreign jihadists “are guaranteed Paradise” – and at least one of whom has ties to militia leader Muqtada al-Sadr. By the end of the trip, the American leftists would echo these sentiments. Somehow most of the media – occupied with interminable coverage of Hurricane...

Marxist revolutionary Medea Benjamin was hit in the face by a pie-wielding leftist this weekend at the U.S. Social Forum held in Atlanta, Georgia.Benjamin, leader of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink, was holding forth at the Code Pink booth at the forum when a man from Bakers without Borders snuck up behind her, reached around in front of her and shoved a pie right in her face.Bakers without Borders and Co-optation Watch released a statement, accompanied by photos and video, on the website Indybay.org taking credit for the assault.The statement says: Bakers without Borders and Co-optation Watch take action today...

This evening, the Fox News Channel's two highest rated programs, The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, had members of the pro-terrorist Marxist front group Code Pink on to discuss Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton's shifting stand on the Iraq war.Neither show challenged the Code Pink spokeswomen on the group's well documented pro-terrorist, pro-socialist dictatorship politics. Instead they were presented as legitimate players in the debate on the war and Clinton's candidacy.Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin was on The O'Reilly Factor opposite a Democratic consultant. Host Bill O'Reilly praised Benjamin for answering his softball questions about Code Pink's lobbying...

Code Pink was founded in 2002 as a women-run, women-led peace organization with a creative approach to protest. There are at least 250 chapters, mostly in this country; in recent months, the groups' focus has coalesced around lobbying Congress to end the Iraq war. In March, Code Pink started renting a group house so women descending on the District would have a place to stay. SNIP "We're trying to change the culture and say, 'Listen, these are not your hallowed halls of seclusion,' " says Murphy, 53, who served in the Peace Corps and used to work for the U.S....

Medea Benjamin, leader of the terrorist supporting Marxist front group Code Pink, tonight contradicted Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan's claim that she was broke after three years of non-stop campaigning against the Iraq war.Sheehan, whose antiwar effort was prompted by the combat death in Iraq of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, in April 2004, issued a statement on Memorial Day announcing her retirement from the peace movement. In that statement, Sheehan claimed to have spent "every penny" she has received in the past three years to stop the war. She said that her hospital bills from treatment for a life-threatening...

Four members of the anti-war group Code Pink were arrested outside the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Thursday afternoon, following an announcement that they would seek to take over the office. The group’s members had planned to hold a symbolic “Pin the war on the Donkey” demonstration at Pelosi’s office to show their frustration with the Democratic leadership’s inaction on ending the war in Iraq. However, Capitol Police prevented the taping of a drawn donkey to the wall. Code Pink members were crying outside Pelosi’s office. When asked why, Rae Abileah, 24, said she was crying out of...

John Murtha, Hero of the War Protesters He's Pro-Gun, Likes Pork, But on Iraq, the Legislator Is Firmly in Their Camp By Lyndsey Layton Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, March 22, 2007; C01 Gruff, jowly John Murtha wouldn't seem to be a Code Pink kinda guy, what with his appetite for pork and his pro-gun, antiabortion Marine hero bona fides. But there the congressman was, in a Rayburn House Office Building hallway, gallantly protecting some war protesters from the group who had been tossed out of a hearing room and threatened with arrest. "He said 'I know these people,' he...

Cindy Sheehan, Mother to the World and international peace activist, released a response today to a New York Sun article that reported Sheehan was blowing off an appeal from a group of Cuban dissidents known as the Ladies in White to visit Cuban prisons this week while she is there protesting the U.S. terrorist detention center at Guantanamo.In the Sun article, Code Pink leader and Fidel Castro groupie Medea Benjamin, who organized Sheehan's trip to the communist workers' paradise, is reported as saying that Sheehan and her traveling party had not seen the letter from the dissidents, but that the...

Anti-American activist Cindy Sheehan will be traveling to communist-run Cuba next week to protest the American detention center for terrorists at Guantanamo.Sheehan, whose son Army Spc.

This January, three Methow Valley residents will defy U.S. government restrictions and travel to Cuba. Despite the U.S. embargo against Cuba, an estimated 80,000 Americans travel to the island each year to experience Cuba’s culture, music and food. But the three visitors from the Methow have a different destination than most: Guantánamo Bay. Dana Visalli and Anaka Mines plan to fly to Cuba (via Mexico) and then travel to Guantánamo City. There, they will meet up with other peace activists and participate in a conference focusing on the "illegal detention and torture" of people at Guantánamo prison, according to an...

NEW YORK -- John Kerry's sister, an employee of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, testified Thursday that she canceled a meeting with a group of women last March after she saw peace activist Cindy Sheehan and news media with them. The former Democratic presidential candidate's sister, Peggy Kerry, said she went outside and saw about 100 women, including Sheehan, and "a gaggle of press." She said she went back inside the mission. "I was angry that they had not told me Cindy Sheehan would be there," Kerry said. "It (her presence) explained to me why there was a...

One more high profile Democrat has gotten cozy with the anti-American group Code Pink. Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator from Georgia and a Vietnam veteran who was grieviously wounded in a grenade accident, met Code Pink leader and murderous Marxist dictator groupie Medea Benjamin at a Napa, California, benefit concert for the National Veterans Foundation headlined by Code Pink supporter Willie Nelson and the Doobie Brothers.A photo of Cleland posing with his arm around Benjamin's waist is posted at a Code Pink web site with the following description:Another big treat was to meet former Senator Max Cleland from Georgia, a...

TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HATE AMERICA AS MUCH AS THEY DO, the Fifth Column Left had to go halfway around the world to meet with Iraqi political leaders who call terrorism “honorable national resistance” and say foreign jihadists “are guaranteed Paradise” – and at least one of whom has ties to militia leader Muqtada al-Sadr. By the end of the trip, the American leftists would echo these sentiments. Somehow most of the media – occupied with interminable coverage of Hurricane Katrina and JonBenet Ramsey’s non-killer – neglected to report that earlier this month a contingent of infamous American radicals including...

The American Left as "crisis cult" Clinical psychologist Robert Godwin proposes an interesting framework for understanding the increasingly bizarre behavior of the American Left at his very interesting website One Cosmos. Drawing on the work of psychoanalytic anthropologist Weston LaBarre, he posits that the left has become a “crisis cult” such as are found in societies whose bedrock assumptions break down in the face of the superior strength of foreign cultures impinging on their territory. Probably the most famous of the crisis cults are the cargo cults which developed in Melanesia. The Cargo Cults believe that manufactured western goods (‘cargo’)...

They Don't Support the Troops by Lisa De Pasquale Posted Jul 27, 2006 The constant mantra of the radical left is that while they don’t support the war, they do support the troops. Other than making hollow and flippant claims of support, the anti-war left has done little for the troops or their families. To the contrary, their actions show how little respect they have for the military. In a recent interview with CodePink’s Troops Home Fast cofounder Diane Wilson, she dismisses the troops by comparing their real sacrifices and efforts to CodePink’s faux fast, which includes liquids like...

WASHINGTON -- New York lawmakers led a boycott Wednesday of the Iraqi prime minister's speech to Congress, furious that he still has not condemned Hezbollah's actions against Israel. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton did attend the speech, but her hopes to hear him take such a stand were dashed.

It was well over 90 degrees today in Washington, a typical hot, swampy day in the nation's capitol. Not what you would consider jacket weather. The House Gallery was filled to capacity as Iraqi Prime Minister al-Malaki took the podium and gave a historic address to a joint session of Congress. Al-Malaki was interrupted briefly by a protestor, shown being escorted out, here:

You would never know it from our one party media, but the "disruptor" at Prime Minister al-Maliki's speech was not just a random protestor.She was none other than the professional anti-America agitator (and Hugo Chavez paid agent) Medea Benjamin.From a CodePink press release: Medea Benjamin is arrested on July 26 for interrupting a speech by the Prime Minister of Iraq.Medea Benjamin Arrested For Disrupting Iraqi Prime Minister’s Congressional AddressFasting co-founder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange says Iraqis want war to endCODEPINK and Global Exchange cofounder Medea Benjamin is arrested on July 26 for interrupting a speech by the Prime Minister...

Imagine four days trapped in a hotel with Cindy Sheehan, Medea Benjamin and Gael Murphy........Next month, while gullible anti-war protesters make their pilmigrage to hot and dusty Crawford, Texas to join Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink in their Troops Home Fast campaign, Sheehan and the Pinko elite will be living it up in Austin at a four day retreat that features luxury accomodations and kook therapy.Being a Marxist revolutionary is tough work, so who can blame them for indulging in a little capitalist excess, even if the resort, called The Crossings, bills itself as a progressive learning center.Lodging ranges from...

APN) ATLANTA –“You’ve got electronic voting machines. Many people called in and shared their concern. They pushed the button for Cynthia McKinney and Hank Johnson came up. It wasn’t one time, it wasn’t two times, it was many, many times,” Karen Fitzpatrick, who has been monitoring elections for US Rep. McKinney’s re-election campaign, told Atlanta Progressive News in an exclusive interview. Let me repeat: The McKinney Campaign says they have documented complaints of voters here in Georgia whose votes FLIPPED BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES on Diebold machines. “It started early this morning. There were well over 25 to 30 calls...

This past Monday night, Bill O'Reilly had Medea Benjamin, the founder of the "antiwar" group Code Pink, as a guest on his Fox News program, "The O?Reilly Factor." Code Pink is the organization that has been holding anti-troop demonstrations outside Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. every week, countered by a large turnout from the DC Chapter of Free Republic (God bless FR.) There are plenty of legitimate antiwar organizations whose spokepersons O'Reilly could have put on the Factor. Instead, he chose to put on the founder of Code Pink, which gave thousands of dollars to the terrorists in...
