A lefty report of last weekend's action in Fayetteville, N.C. marking the third anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom shows that the Freepers gathered across the street with Rolling Thunder managed to provoke Code Pink's Iraqi propagandist to reveal her support for the insurgency. Code Pink markets itself as a 'peace group.' Harrumph:
In addition to McGovern, those at the "Bring Them Home Now" event heard from Iraqi pharmacist Rashad Zidan, one of seven Iraqi women who are touring the United States calling for an end to the U.S. occupation. Zidan, whose trip is sponsored by the U.S. peace group Code Pink, will also speak Wednesday night (March 22) at 7 p.m. at N.C. State in 222 Dabney Hall, near the brickyard.
Zidan, like most of the speakers, had to compete with a vocal group of about 100 counter-protesters from Free Republic and the Rolling Thunder motorcycle gang. Because of their location on a hilltop above Rowan Park, the counter-protesters were perfectly positioned to use bullhorns to project their voices, effectively disrupting speakers.
"I'm not speaking to the people who have a stone heart," Zidan yelled. "They would not understand me.... We're just not free. We're just under occupation, and every free people would fight against occupation and try hard to be free again."
Raleigh Code Pink activist Shannon Hardy scolded the counter-protesters for interrupting Zidan. "Shame on you," Hardy yelled several times into the microphone.
is code pink a non profit?
Mess with bikers....
Not good for one's health
HELL WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE EITHER. But we need to stay until the JOBS DONE.
So the occupation of post-WWII Europe and Japan was also a mistake?
I told a few of the marxist at the anti war rally Sat,
why don't you join Al Qaida and fight along with them.
That puts a kink in their rant.
This woman is on a speaking tour paid by the Left.........

Yes it is.
And they are taking this woman into to schools to speak! Unbelievable.
bump
When these people get rattled, and we rattled her, they revert from their script of lies to their core beliefs.
I don't know about Japan, but the left certainly DID oppose the Allies' post-WWII occupation of Europe. They threw themselves into working up a "bring the troops home" movement. I don't know enough of the history of the time to know how successful they were in getting the media, intelligentsia and other agents of influence to amplify their agitations. Obviously they wanted to clear the field for their hero and master, "Uncle Joe" Stalin, to enslave the rest of Europe under communist totalitarianism. (I believe there was a post-war communist movement in Japan, so I would imagine the left opposed it's occupation also.)
