I’m guessing Code Pink’s official perfume is Obsession.
This clearly reveals the childish mentality of these fools.
Scum. Absolute whale shiite on the bottom of the ocean.
These Code Pink puss bags are deranged small time operators. What they need is an old fashioned ass-kicking to straighten out their screwed up heads.
Some sort of eau de colon, that's for certain.

Every day is fools’ day for Code Pink
Never underestimate Medea Benjamin. She is a hardcore red and anti-American (her ties to Cuba would be worth a good congressional investigation except the investigator himself is a good red - Conyers).
Most Code Pinkos are old marxist hags who smell that way. The younger ones are just plain dumb as hogcrap. I’ve met them and they aren’t much above lichens in intelligence so Benjamin and Evans are the real string pullers, like the good little marxist puppeteers they are.
Seriously, they are obsessed with helping the terrorists to defeat America. The Berkeley campaign is a propaganda boon to our enemies and a morale buster for our side.
Code Pink must be defeated in Berkeley.
Yeah, these people strike me as having a great sense of humor. Whenever I see pictures of them, I immediately think, “They must be a lot of fun. I wish I could spend time with them.”
Spot on.
Bates needs to do something nice for the country, like drop dead. He’s a nasty old man who has been screwing the people of Berkeley for years while supporting nearly every communist group that has come down the pike.
If you find any old issues of “BCU”, you will find out a lot about him. (A Berkeley citizens group publication).
"CODEPINK has a name for its pain, and the name is zomblog."
Since Feb. 12, the city has spent $210,814 from the general fund as part of overtime costs to provide additional support and safety for the protests, said city spokesperson Mary Kay Clunies-Ross. The controversy stems from a Jan. 29 decision by the City Council to call Marine Corps recruiters in Downtown Berkeley “uninvited and unwelcome” intruders. When the council met on Feb. 12 to reconsider their decision, more than 2,000 protesters had gathered outside the City Council chambers.
Approximately $93,000 of the $210,814 went towards providing enforcement that day, Clunies-Ross said. The council voted to rescind the language calling the recruiters “intruders,” but did not apologize for their vote.
Since then, protests from both pro-military and anti-war groups have continued in front of the center.
Overtime costs for police who must monitor the protests have cost the city $205,924. The remaining $4,890 went towards food for the officers, Clunies-Ross said.
Since the $200,000 is taken from overtime costs as part of the general fund, more anticipated spending for routine things are cut, said Lisa Caronna, deputy city manager.
“Two hundred thousand dollars is a huge chunk of money for any unforeseen circumstance,” she said. “The overtime we budget for is what we need in a normal course of life.”
Caronna said the costs impact the general fund because the budget is limited and the unexpected cost of $200,000 could have been spent elsewhere.
“Generally, here is $200,000 we could have spent on something else, but we spent it now on ... the protests and Marine center ...,” she said. “We don’t like to spend frivolously, and there’s a shopping list of things that we want to see happen, a million things that $200,000 won’t pay for.”
Some council members say Berkeley taxpayers may be impacted because the general fund comes from various taxes.
“It’s too bad, and it may affect how people feel about tax measures this fall when we vote,” said Councilmember Betty Olds. “It’s our extra money, and there isn’t too much of it.”
Councilmember Gordon Wozniak also expressed concern over how taxpayers would be affected.
“I don’t think it’s fair to have this thing going for (long)... It’d be a huge burden for Berkeley taxpayers to cover,” Wozniak said. “You can make your point without being there every day or every week.”

Pathetic. It is, actually, pretty funny, but not in the way Medea thinks it is. Self-parody is the cruelest parody of all.
