Code Pink leader Jodie Evans, in a blog posted from the World Tribunal on Iraq, today gave her open support to the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American soldiers and Iraqis
While some may wonder, "is this news?" it is, indeed. Code Pink has been very careful over the past three years to maintain a front of being a peace group. In fact, it's complete name is Code Pink Women for Peace. The veil slipped when co-leader Medea Benjamin shot her mouth off in Jordan last December when she proclaimed the group was giving $600,000 in cash and aid to the families of "the other side" in Fallujah.
Recently, Code Pink has been holding weekly Friday night vigils at the main gate to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to express their phony support for the men and women recuperating from their war wounds. I wonder how the soldiers and families at Walter Reed will take the news that the pink sign holding people have given their support to the terrorists in Iraq.
The D.C. Chapter will be sure to tell them at our next patriotic counter-demonstration there.
Here are Jodie Evans' remarks, preserved for posterity:
We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. What does the Iraqi resistance have to lose? They are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies. It is so amazingly obvious; we must get out of Iraq now. They will rebuild their country, it will take time, a long time, but they cannot start until we are gone.
Code Pink now joins ANSWER as publicly endorsing the terrorists. This has been a sticking point between ANSWER on one side and Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice on the other. I expect them all to support the terrorists publicly by the time Sept. 24-26 rolls around in Washington, D.C.
The leftists are planning "non-violent direct action and civil disobedience" in D.C. on Monday Sept. 26. When they tried that two years ago, the D.C. police swiftly disrupted their plans by arresting leftist protesters demonstrating without a permit. Since then, successful lawsuits were filed against the D.C. police and the D.C. City Council passed a law severely restricting the cops' ability to preserve law and order in the city when protests get out of hand.
Code Pink will be there and I'm sure their terrorist allies will be cheering them on.
T**s (as in mammary glands) Up.
From Ward Churchill straight up the line to Dick Durbin, people giving aid and comfort to our mortal enemies should be looking out at the world from between steel bars. Why isn't this happening? Who and where would such prosecutions originate?

I certainly cannot pretend to know anything about the law, but I assume that these traitors cannot be held legally responsible for their sedition because we are not in an officially declared war, i.e., there has been no congressional declaration of war
Is there any doubt at all that these 'peace activists' would line up everyone they oppose and have them all shot?
You make some good points. The president could bring up the Rats' statements and then counter them without mentioning names or namecalling (even though the name "traitor" or "saboteur" would be factually correct regarding these America haters).
Hello newbie, I don't think those views will keep you here long.
The ONLY way that the terrorists can win is to break ou will. They can't beat our military.
I thought that open support for our enemies in time of war was treason.
ou = our
BTTT
Welcome to FR. Impressive spew of innuendo and mindless rhetoric.
Did you see post #225? You have got to see this one.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful insight into your twisted world of make-believe. Now, please zip it! Shhh!
I hope frickin' sharks with lazer beams attached to their heads was used to zot him!
Love the smell of toasted trolls.
Pink to dad
Darn. I missed it. - you go away for a minute and the Zot comes in. 8^)
Seems like code pink is a troll magnet.
I really want to make a comment on this but I have to wait until I calm down enough to be capable of rational thought.
I rather liked that one my own self!
