Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, a leader of the so-called anti-war movement, fled the scene when Doctor Raoul confronted her on her pro-communist background today at an anti-war rally outside Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
The rally, attended by about three hundred people, was being held to highlight the Pentagon's long-standing policy of not allowing media coverage of the return of fallen American servicemen and women.
Doctor Raoul, sans sign or costume, stood across a six lane highway from the rally and addressed them using a portable PA system. He asked the group, which included Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) and some military family members who are against the war on terrorism, why they were standing with those who support the killers of their children serving overseas. Raoul explained how the groups there today stand with A.N.S.W.E.R. and its statement giving "unconditional support" to what they call the "Iraq anti-colonial resistance."
Labor activists Nancy Lessin and Charlie Richardson, the husband and wife duo credited with founding Military Families Speak Out, tried to bully Raoul from speaking out, accusing him of being "disrespectful."
Others walked over and complained Raoul was "disrupting" the protest. Raoul told them to take it up with Medea, pointing out that Medea and her group, Code Pink, have no problem disrupting meetings while this was a public gathering. A while later, Medea Benjamin dragged a military mother across the six lane highway to have her challenge Raoul. A crowd of about thirty protesters formed around them. The mother snarled, "Who the hell do you think you are?"
Raoul replied he was a military family member who was against those supporting the thugs trying to kill our soldiers. He asked her if she knew who she was standing with, explaining again their communist pedigree and phony peace agenda. He repeated his message about A.N.S.W.E.R.'s statement giving their "unconditional support" to what they call the "Iraq anti-colonial resistance."
The woman said, "They're good people. I'd march with them anytime and I'll march with them again."
Raoul turned his attention to the woman's puppetmaster, Medea Benjamin. "Medea," he said, "You lived in Cuba. You wrote for a Cuban newspaper."
Medea interrupted, saying, "That's not about that here."
Raoul continued, "You wrote a book called Cuba, Thoughts about Revolution, by Medea Benjamin. The book can be found on Amazon. C'mon, Medea, what is it? Are you a peace activist or are you a revolutionary.
Medea took off without answering.
The crowd remained and closed in on Raoul. A state trooper intervened and told the protesters to back off, which they did. The media was there for the confrontation with Medea. Let's see what they choose to report.
There will come a day that they will regret their acts.
God have mercy on their souls.
Indeed, that occurred in Finland in the last century, the bloodletting lasting a little more than 4 months.
When it was over, the conflict and its immediate aftermath are considered to have killed more than 30,000 out of a population of three million, around 1% of the total population of the country.
Victorious Finnish Whites execute members of the Red Guard, 1918. Communists, however do not believe in God or expect His mercy. Accordingly, I'll respect their wishes and not intercede with Him on their behalf. And if the opportunity again comes my way, I'll show them no more of my mercy than they've shown others. The Finns have shown us the way.
My only comment about these "Freeps" is that a PROFESSIONAL Freeper Flying Squad of In-House Videographers or camera operators accompany activist Freepers to get footage or documentation that is not in the control of the hostile media.
In the age of affordable Digital Camcorders this has become a necessity for the protection of all.

To realy get her PO'd he should have called her Susan, because that's her real first name.
Kerry took a lesson from the same book on bullying when he angrily pressured a questioner , the other day, to tell how he voted.
Haven't the Democrats heard? -- We have secret ballots in America.
If Kerry needs to take away someone's rights, in order to score "debate" points for himself, he isn't worthy of being a president.
I wonder how they answer their phone.
That might mean they're all run by the same small group of leftists! Its a fundraising gimmick, just start as many faux organizations as you can and rake in the cash.
Now why can't we do that? Because we have morals?
There is a 5 person PR firm in DC that spits out press release after press release attacking the right with any lie they can think of. Their releases often become news.
Ever notice how conserative think-tanks can't make the news??
I wonder if a dozen FReepers could rent an office and launch two dozen organizations from it??
For screaming commies, press 1 and say "Dean",....for lying commies, press 2 and say "Kerry"......for the first available KGB Agent, please hold....
LOL
