CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, left, has a face off with Melanie Morgan, local radio personality and founder of Move America Forward. Pro-military demonstrators faced off in downtown Berkeley against CodePink on Wednesday, saying the anti-war group defaced a Marines recruiting center that opened in Berkeley last January.

Free Republic was also on hand to show the Code Pink Commies they aren't unchallenged anywhere - even in Berkeley.

The Code Pink co-founder is named Medea? That is hilarious! What a self-fulfilling prophecy!

“But David Santos, 15, of Oakland, said the conservative element was on the wrong side of the issue.”

The commies trained this one real well...

15? And knows all of life’s solutions! I’m sure.

“I determined for everyone’s safety to separate the two groups,” Files said.

This means, “for the safety of the Code Pink traitors”

Oh! Well, in that case...

Exactly...but it’s exactly the intelligence of a “not so bright” 15 year old that is representative of the Code Pinko group!

Not just yes but HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn I believe that conservative women are going to save this party yet. Too many wimp ass men like Bush, Huckabee, Brownback et.al. are why the GOP is destroying itself. If it takes a woman than fine with me, white males for the most part have been shamed into not speaking out. Time to start turning the tide and BRING IT!!!!!!!!!

That’s because the Code Pinkos intelligence level isn’t much more that the 15 year olds.

Note the “conservative” label two or three times; no acknowledgement whatsoever that Code Pink is “liberal”, subtly implying that Code Pink is mainstream and Melanie’s group is not.

Also note the passive voice — “there was a physical altercation” — to eliminate any thought that Code Pink waw the instigator. It, well, just suddenly existed, yeah.

They want “peace”, certainly a Communist backed group wouldn’t use VIOLENCE to deal with counter protesters. < /s >
