Thanks to Coop for finding this news.

We'll have fun with the Code Pink chickens tomorrow night!

[highlander_UW]

Nothing like having the courage of one's convictions.

Howard Dean Photographed Endorsing Code Pink

[Mr. Brightside]

local neighborhood groups that spy on fellow Cubans and report any counter-revoultionary behavior

But they have a problem with the Patriot Act. Go figure.

[HOTTIEBOY]

Wait wait wait. They want to go to Cuba? To celebrate the anniversary of a revolution? Marxist? For peace? But they need safety in numbers?
They are protesting a democratic government(US) by going to a dictatorship? For peace? But need safety?

I just can't follow this logic.

[RasterMaster]

C'mon Code Pinkos....put your money where your mouth is, go see Fidel AND STAY THERE!

[popdonnelly]

Still waiting for the investigation of Code Pink by the Justice Department.

"The United States embargo against Cuba (described in Cuba as el bloqueo, Spanish for "the blockade") is an economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed on Cuba by the United States (President Kennedy) on February 7, 1962. As of 2005, the embargo is still in effect, making it one of the most enduring trade embargoes in modern history."

Yet, somehow it's President Bush that's being the bad guy???

....Code Pink said those cancellations denied them the "safety in numbers" they felt they needed......

I interpret that to mean there are no Code Pink Rosa Parks. The leaders lack the courage to go to jail and forfeit their property for a photo op.

[Coop]

Code Pink says several of the participants decided to cancel their plans to stand up against the Bush administration in solidarity with Fidel Castro. Code Pink said those cancellations denied them the "safety in numbers" they felt they needed--whatever that means.

I'm no expert in Marxist propaganda, but I think it means:

"As much trouble as we had finding anti-American wackos to protest outside a military hospital, we've had even more difficulty getting nut jobs to travel to Cuba. But since we can't admit that, we'll blame Bush!"

[popdonnelly]

Also waiting for a television news segment on the activities and connections of Code Pink.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I guess they'll miss the back of the neck shooting class.

[reagan_fanatic]

[Minnesocold]

Looks like another Castro trip fell flat.

[freema]

I'm looking at my crystal ball and seeing some CEASE AND DESIST posters in the pictures from this FRiday's FReep.

[ErnBatavia]

some trip participants warning them of the legal repercussions of violating the travel ban: fines of up to one million dollars and ten years in prison.

There should be such a ban in place regarding civilians (such as Ramsey Clark) traveling to Iraq...

[Edgerunner]

We should let them go, then refuse their reentry to the USA. The law should have a provision for revoking a person's citizenship id they travel to Cuba...

[Wil H]

Hell ! Let 'em go!

..Just don't let 'em back in..

[armymarinemom]

As a result, Code Pink says several of the participants decided to cancel their plans to stand up against the Bush administration in solidarity with Fidel Castro.

Hehehe, snort. What a bunch of drama queeens.

[tgslTakoma]

What cowards! And of course, it's all Bush's fault.

Here's a good link to the history of the US embargoes of Cuba.

The commies of Code Pink will be even more resolved this week to "fight the evil Bush regime" at Walter Reed, brave grrrls and eunuchs that they are.
