When The New York Times, Nightline, and CNN nominate a young blonde for sainthood ahead of the Pope, its time for a reality check.
Especially when that blonde, Marla Ruzickas sole purpose is to legitimize our enemies, cause problems for U.S. troops already in harms way, and morally equivocate dead terrorists with victims of 9/11.
Jane Fonda litebut unfortunately without having been spat upon by right-thinking veterans.
The recent death of Ruzicka, an American activist in Iraq, elicited an orgy of gusheverywhere from Time Magazine to The Guardian of London to Al-Jazeera.
A 28-year-old San Franciscan, Ruzicka was in Iraq to help the Iraqi people, proclaim the multi-orgasmic mainstream media memorials to her. Even the Wall Street Journals normally excellent Robert Pollock mourned Ambassador Marla for being a less gnarly America-hater than the others.
Et tu, Robert?
With her cascading blonde hair and youthful looks, Ruzicka didnt look like your average greasy-haired, pot-smoking, hackey-sack-playing, crunchy radical. And the media swooned over her, the newly-anointed Vanity Fair pin-up in Birkenstocks.
But looks are deceiving. Marla Ruzicka was nothing more than a traitor cross-dressing as a peace activist.
She formed the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC), the goal of which was anything but CIVIC during the War on Terror or ever. Ruzickas aim was to force the U.S. government to get an accurate count of innocent civilian deaths by U.S. troops and blackmail America into paying monetary settlements for each death.
But many of those dead included assorted terrorists, jihadists, and other collaborators and uprisers against Americans. Ruzicka had the gall to insist that these Afghani and Iraqi dead, terrorists or not, get recognition and sympathy equal to victims of the 9/11 attacks.
More outrageous, Ruzicka got taxpayer money to fund her aiding-and-abetting pursuits. Where was Marla Ruzicka on 9/11? Hint: Not asking Al-Qaeda for money to count and compensate U.S. victims of terror.
Ruzicka began as a professional protester for left-wing groups in her native San Francisco. First, she was active with the anti-capitalist, anti-business Rainforest Action Network activist. Then, she was an AIDS activist, interrupting an AIDS-related speech by Colin Powell. As an anti-Bush protester, she wore a sarong with a protest-statement visible after she ripped it off her body in front of the then-Texas Governor.
Eventually, Ruzicka joined far-left Human Rights Watch and Global Exchange, falling down another rung in bad fashion taste and dumping the sarong for a hijab, as she traveled first to Afghanistan and then to Iraq. She didnt wear the hijab out of any new-found sense of Pan-Arabia modesty, but rather to be down with her new Islamist homies.
Ruzicka went to Iraq as an activist for Code Pink, which is more aptly titled Code Pinko by FrontPageMag.com writer Jean Pearce. Code Pink is an assortment of neo-Commie America-haters who love Fidel Castro (and Cuba under him) and Marxist Sandinista thugs (thankfully, long ago deposed) and have ties to environmental terrorist groups (Animal Liberation Front and Environmental Liberation Front).
Thats bad enough.
But in Iraq, where Ruzicka traveled with the group, Code Pink functioned as a Pro-Saddamand now pro-Insurgentgroup of traitorous Americans. Code Pink was in Iraq in October 2002, months before U.S. troops went in to the country, the following March. The darlings of Al-Jazeera (and our own media, unfortunately) Code Pinkos acted as human shields and anti-American protesters in the Iraqi streets, much to Saddam Husseins delight.
But it gets worse.
Remember the Americans burnt to a crisp and hung from a bridge in the Fallujah uprising? Code Pink donated over $650,000 to those Fallujah terrorists (Code Pinkos call them refugees.)
Back on U.S. soil, Code Pink harasses badly wounded American soldiers, protesting them outside the Walter Reed medical facility in Washington, DC. Code Pinkos disrupted last weeks Congressional confirmation hearings on UN Ambassador nominee John Bolton, shouting and unfurling banners against him. They are also shadowing military recruiters to foil recruiting efforts. The upside: there wont be enough soldiers to protect Code Pinkos rights and freedoms.
This is Marla Ruzickas beloved Code Pink. Its time to stop worshipping at the alter of this false heroine.
There are plenty of young American men and women Ruzickas age and younger whove been brutalized or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But none of them got the wall-to-wall fawning coverage that Ruzicka gotunless they were anally raped or formerly played pro football.
That should tell you something about the medias outlook on whose life is more worthy and whose death is more important: American soldiers fighting for freedombad; vociferous activist bimbette hampering those American soldiers and helping their terrorist killersvery, very good.
While its a sad day when any American gets killed by Islamic terrorists, its measurably less sad when that American aided and abetted themand belittled our troops.
For Marla Ruzicka, a/k/a Treasonatrix Barbie, some might call it, poetic justice.
I liked the article, seems right on the money. One less leftist is fine with me. Let's unfund these organizations.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Bye, Fly Larva."He's dead, Jim!"
Bye,dorgedork."He's dead, Jim!"
Even though you are gone, hope you are still lurking/trolling. This woman was a traitor and deserved worse, and so was Rachel Corrie. They both completely deserved what they got.
And that's Good Jew here, thank you.
Skippy, I have bad news for you.
Your prognosis is terminal, and we'll have to terminate you.
But, for your trouble, we have this nice dimethyltryptamine 42 drip for you to ease your fears.
Soon, you won't care and you'll be too busy lashing out at invisible elves to stop us from flipping the switch on you.
And there you have it. Making a career for herself and creating misery for the very people who are SAVING LIVES in Iraq.
I'll bet she would have missed the irony in becoming one of her own "statistics".
These groups are the friends of Kerry. They are probably the "foreign leaders" he talked to.
She was near terrorists for her entire time in Iraq, and $50 says that she knew the terrorist who killed her. $50 more says that she was the spotter for that car bomber, or part of a plan to distract convoy security (you know, that whole "blonde drives by and waves and smiles" sort of trick).
No loss!
Sucker bet, South.
And if she had time to ask why they were doing this, their reply would be one word:
"Infidel."
It's four, actually. Within 52 posts.
Four? Either one guy with nothing better to do, or one guy and his friends hanging out in Mom's basement.
I myself thought it was kinda funny about her bad luck, being in the wrong place at just the wrong time..
But I don't think that she was an active participant in killing Americans. I think she was just a typical good hearted but misguided peace activist who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She could very well have met and helped the person or persons who set off the explosion that killed her and her driver.
For someone who was complaining about American bombs and missles killing civilians, she became an example that the terrorist's Rules Of Engagement sure don't make allowances for non-combatants in the kill zone when setting off an ambush...
When these kind of things happen, I do wonder if God is displaying a sense of humor...
Do you know anything about this fact?
There's some info on this thread, dog:

Don't be so sure about that- the typical peace activist is anything but peaceful. These critters know what they're doing, and the one who did the 'lovebug smash' in Iraq recently is into several of these groups- she's not just some sweet but ditzy schmuck who naively stumbled into one group on a whim. These are interconnected cells of terrorists and propagandists of terrorists and they're not really delicate in language or shy about their goals so it's unlikely there are too many members who don't know what they've gotten themselves into. They're not real peace activists [they are violent], they're not real environmental activists [they don't know squat about the outdoors], they are just communist activists peddling their failed ideology in small bites and different artificial flavors so it doesn't stink as much as the product would if sold openly and whole.
Another Code Pink ally is Medea Benjamins group Global Exchange, which has strong ties to the communist Workers World Party. Imbued with a deep hatred for the United States and capitalism in general, Benjamin is a pro-Castro activists who lived in Cuba (and was married to a Cuban) was a principal organizer of the 1999 Seattle riots in which some 50,000 protesters wreaked havoc and tried to shut down the World Trade Organization meetings. Throughout the 1990s, in fact, many of the Marxists currently working for Code Pink were busy organizing anti-free trade protests some of them violent and filing numerous high-profile lawsuits that forced American corporations to spend enormous sums of money to defend themselves. When we examine the backgrounds of Code Pinks major players, we find that they have very little in common with average, everyday, concerned American women or activists just interested in peace.Jodie Evans, for instance, sits on the board of directors of the Rain Forest Action Network (RAN), a coalition of anti-capitalist, anti-corporate environmentalist groups. RANs co-founder Michael Roselle also founded the Earth Liberation Front, which the FBI ranks alongside the Animal Liberation Front as the foremost domestic terrorism threats in the United States. According to the FBI, during the past seven years those two groups have been responsible for more than 600 criminal acts and $43 million in damages. And in 1985, Code Pink spokeswoman Sand Brim, who was then the executive director of Medical Aid, flew an American neurosurgeon to San Salvador to operate on the combat-wounded hand of Marxist Revolutionary Party Commander Nidia Diaz, whose group had recently murdered four American Marines and nine civilians.

Oh, well, guess it would have been too radioactive to get the oil out.
What about hospitals keeping people alive so they can wring more money out of people
I think you might be on the wrong forum. By that last comment, I can guess you didn't hear about Terri Schiavo.
