Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's first Hollywood fundraiser was co-hosted by a supporter of the terrorists in Iraq. The Hollywood bibleVariety reported that Code Pink's Jodie Evans co-hosted the Obama event with her ex-husband Max Palevsky and Dreamworks partners Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen in February 2007.
In 2005 while attending the World Trbunal on Iraq in Istanbul, Evans gushed approvingly of the terrorists in Iraq in a statement originally published on the Code Pink website:
"We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and defending their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. The Iraqi people are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies." (AlterNet, June 26, 2005)
Code Pink endorsed the findings of the World Tribunal on Iraq that expressed unqualified support for the terrorists in Iraq.
When Evans co-hosted the Obama fundraiser, she had just returned from Cuba as a guest of the Castro government where she and her Code Pink partner Medea Benjamin protested the U.S. military's terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo. (A year before that, Evans had been a guest of Castro wannabe Hugo Chavez in Venezuala.)
In December 2004, Evans helped Code Pink deliver $650,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to families of the terrorists in Fallujah. At the time, the U.S. military was waging a major campaign to retake the city from Al Qaeda in Iraq. The recent film about the insurgency in Iraq, Meeting Resistance, showed that family members of the insurgency are intimately involved in aiding terrorist activities.
Recent news articles have reported on Evans' bundling more than $50,000 in contributions to Sen. Obama's presidential campaign, as well as her $2300 personal contribution to that campaign. The revelation that she was selected by Obama to co-host his first fundraiser in Hollywood takes their political relationship to a new, more personal level.
Evans' radical anti-American politics are no secret. The news of her trip to Castro's Cuba just weeks before the fundraiser was widely reported. The knowledge of her support for the terrorists in Iraq was easily obtainable by doing a quick Internet search. That Barack Obama not only accepted Jodie Evans' money, but also gave her the honor of co-hosting his first Hollywood fundraiser, should raise great concerns that he shares her radical pro-terrorist politics.
It just gets worse....
Obama is a quisling
The bad and ugly; needs to rise to the top. The worst of Obama is yet to come. We can hope; that there is no doubt that it will become public and mainstream.
bump for morning
Readily available information about a fundraiser held in 2007 qualifies as Breaking News?
Obama is scum.
You have countered the Code Pinkos in the DC area
and I have in San Diego.
They are right out of the Marxist play book
and some folks better get a clue but quick
including those on FR pushing for third party wing nuts
which will put this Code Pinko loving Marxist in the White House
Bumping for morning clarity.
What is it with prominant Jews and Obama?
are these the Judenrats of today?
i cannot believe any Jew could support this guy with his love affair with well known Jew haters?
Islamic terrorist supporters for Obama. Hmm, and to think anyone who dares question whether Obama is a Muslim is, of course, bigoted and ignorant.
You do know there are communist Jews right? ($oro$ comes to mind)... which in itself seems like an oxymoron since communists need to eradicate religion along with all other possible competing organizations.
Word has it from the Orthodox Jews that a large block of these people have occupied Israel for some time now, and in fact have pretty much taken over.
We have well passed the 'bliss of ignorance'. . .
To the Media this is just another activist group, this will not cloud his premises.
But, however, what about Odinga, Bill Ayers, The Reverend Wright, Larry Sinclair(who has been proven to be a liar by a polygraph test, I think, there always seems to be one of these nuts come the candidacy of somebody popular), whoever went around with Obama in his early cocaine-fueled community organizer days along with Rezko and that British Billionaire? Ever notice that Norman Hsu dissapeared from the News as quick as a flash. Wouldn’t want any proven scandal dissipate anybody’s run-in with the Presidency would we?
It is very serious stuff though, Kristinn. While you and others went to Iraq a few times(I recall reading about the trips), there is a Presidential candidate(not nominee) who has been allied with somebody who would like to see you, and all of us dead(funding the enemy is that serious). I still cannot believe that she gave money to terrorists in Fallujah which shows that Code Pink isn’t Anti-War but Pro-Terrorist. And Medea Benjamin was in Castro’s haven for 20 years(as long as Obama was with the Reverend Wright). Like I’ve said, it is almost like Obama supporters are made up of every radical from the 60s. The problem is that fiscal associations with Saddam are easy to find, but those who actually prolong the war for us to lose are very hard to find.
Even Jane Fonda didn’t give funds to the enemy. She sure increased morale though to them.
If Ron Paul can be held accountable for associating with seedy people, why can’t Obama, and Hillary? They should be, afterall this is where the Clintons have held fundraisers and near where Obama’s “bitter” speech was made. Both candidates should be held accountable and if Democrats want to win to put up somebody who cannot be so tainted. Even Al Gore can have new life compared to both of them.
DC Chapter ping
Oh, geez, Bob. C'mon, admit that you added it to Breaking News just so you could try and start a fight.
Kristinn is one who is "striking at the root" as your tagline reads, and still you whine.
Don't go away mad, Bob. Just go away.
