Code Pink [raised $600,000 last year to aid terrorists in Fallujah]

Howard Dean is keeping some strange company these days:

Code Pink is not your average, everyday collection of “peace activists.” This is, after all, the group that raised $600,000 last year to aid terrorists in Fallujah. As Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin put it at the time, “I don’t know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine…for the families of the ‘other side’.”

Ms. Benjamin and the other co-founders of Code Pink have been “on the other side” for quite a while.

In the 1980’s, Benjamin worked as a project coordinator for the Institute for Food and Development Policy (IFDP), which was widely credited with aiding the Marxist Sandinista regime. Upon visiting Cuba in the 1980’s, Benjamin told the San Francisco Chronicle that Castro’s paradise “made it seem like I died and went to heaven.” She is widely credited as a chief organizing force behind the 1999 Seattle riots in which 50,000 protesters did millions of dollars worth of property damage.

Code Pink spokeswoman Sandy Brim flew an American neurosurgeon to San Salvador in 1985 to operate on Marxist Revolutionary Party Commander Nidia Diaz, whose hand had been injured in combat. Diaz’s group had claimed responsibility for the murders of four U.S. Marines and nine civilians two months before. Kirsten Moller, the current executive director of Global Exchange and Code Pink, like Benjamin, worked for IFDP in the 80s.

Naturally, Dean had to be caught in a photo, touting Code Pink T-shirts.

All right! Now the Department of Justice will indict all those people for treason, right?

How about getting this info to Rush, Sean, Michael Savage, et al. It would provide a great discussion on today's talk shows. Exposure is what these Liberals and traitors need.

Right after they get done with that they are supposed to start on Able Danger. Or maybe up next is Steroids In Bowling...or something similar.

BTW, if you want to hear more about Able Danger while you work, go to C-SPAN.org and search on Weldon. The 9/21 hearing is the most interesting. The search will pull up only a handful of entries and the hearing is the only long one. Weldon's work on Libya's nuclear weapons program is a good listen also.

Those who Freep code pinko at hospitals should make large posters saying CODE PINK RAISES $600,000 for ENEMIES in IRAQ.

These donations would go along way to helping disabled American Vets. These traitorous people should be stripped and sprayed pink and then left to rot.
