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.
This is supposed to be a bad thing for him? I doubt it. Like adultry and prostitution usage, this is a resume enhancer for these lefty librat dolts.
Rat commie terrorist bastards , oh and BTTT and bookmarked
If you are scratching your head now because I linked back to this thread, it's not a typo. Kristinn wrote the piece and posted it here.
And people say we ain't got no long term trolls?
Information about Obama’s father here: http://gregransom.com/prestopundit/2008/04/gregs-guide-to-barack-obamas-d.html
It does when it involves the candidate for President of the United States.
So why did you not bring it to everyone’s attention back in 2007? Because the reality is that in 2007 few Americans even knew who Barak Obama was. Absolutely no one knew or figured he would most likely become the Democratic Presidential nominee. So yes it is breaking news and I appluad Kristinn for realizing the importance of an event that took place over a year ago and bringing it to everyone’s attention.
I can’t tell who likes terrorists more Obama or the Clintons.
First, she gets a “D” in English Comp 101.
Secondly, by her standards, it's OK to rob someone here in the States if you are hungry, thirsty for a drink, or your family would like a new HDTV to watch “The Simpsons.”
Oops, I thought this was a thread about Jimmy Carter.
Terrorist Fundraisers 4 Obama
Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President.

Well that's news to me. Do you have a link?
Arriana Huffington was on David Geffen’s yacht this past week. All these commie vampires hang together.
Obama - the candidate whose background and connections just get “couriouser and couriouser,” while appearing more and more typical of Democrats nowadays. What “change” is this? Is there no one in the whole of the Dim party who is not a liar and fraud and is not/has not resourced money from terrorist and anti-American elements?
Why isn’t Jodie Evans in Leavenworth for treason?
Go with your strengths.
Actually this was put on the record before, what’s Breaking News is that the media is starting to report on it.
