"Socialism or death. We will win!" -Hugo Chavez

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.

I have often questioned what exactly qualifies as "Breaking News" on FR and have been quite disgusted with some of the titles that seem to reach "Breaking News" status.
Here is one prime example:

Whatever! Difficult to find REAL news these days.
Only if you allow those labels to be attached to you.
When anyone tries that tact with me, I come right back at them. They are so stunned I dared to defend myself, they walk away quietly.
Not really. They congregate on a regular basis at: East Capitol Street at First Street NE.
Thanks for pointing that out....Socialism or Death. Nice.
never even knew about this and yet the media still will cover this up as with many other obama disgusting associations and comments
Ah, I believe it might be heresy(even mentioned on here a few times) so you win this duel.
I will concede something. Even if Larry Sinclair lied or is a delusional maniac in the style of Kitty Kelley, he did talk a little bit about Obama’s early days in a way that could be quite connective. He is also the only person that could even be reached on Obama’s past.
If a felon can make Bush be questioned about his hypothetical cocaine use why can’t Larry Sinclair become a question(aside from the Media fawning over Obama)? It can’t sink his candidacy if he did a few flings of cocaine with this guy. If there was somebody murdered named Donald and Obama was a typical thug back in his “Street Community Organizer” days, that might sink his candidacy.
I have heard, however, that we cannot use him because a polygraph test rendered him a liar, I will say that it is very weird that Larry Sinclair(of all people) will have to take a test like that. It also didn’t say what he lied about. Even so, like I said, I don’t think that Obama’s past is very different from what Sinclair has said.
Except for the homosexual fetish. I don’t know if it would sink Obama but it would make him look weird, that the first serious black candidate would have homosexual flings. I think even the black bloc, who usually votes Democrat, would be a little bit reluctant to vote for a guy like that. If there is one thing that they cannot stand, it is somebody who has pillow fetishes.
So, while it might take me some time to dig up links(even posted on here) about Larry Sinclair and how he is an unreliable witness, there is something about the story that won’t go away and that is.....if Obama was a cocaine user who lived on food stamps(as he said) while doing work as a Community Organizer for layed off steel workers, could there be something thuggish and something so seedy they might need a replacement if he gets the nomination? Yes. Could there be a Larry Sinclair in the picture? Also yes.

I remember hearing that he failed the test, but it seems there were some issues that stopped the above linked website to go on with the video and the details of the test, etc. |

Hamas knows which candidate will butter their bread for them.
In the foreground, Code Pink shouts “bring them home,” a pro-peace, anti-war refrain, but in the background they send $600,000 to al Qaeda in Iraq to essentially pay for attacks on our troops and add incentives for more terrorism and more war.
This is hardly surprising, given Pinko’s actual function as a cutout for the Workers World Party, which sustains itself on the nutrients of the Andropov playbook of lore. New century, same old Left.
(Well, with one slight variation—they are just one November away from putting their cardboard cutout into the White House.)

Thanks.
Exactly. This American-hating c**t needs to be in jail.
I guess we no longer enforce the law of treason in this country.

No surprises there. One terrorist looking after another.

AMEN! This is the big dark issue that has us foreigners frightened: the Conservatives who don’t vote McCain mean well, and are true to Conservative principles, but the price of those principles is going to be very high, and America and the rest of the world is going to be paying that price for a very long time.
Carter got to be POTUS for only 4 years, and lookit the damage he has managed to do — and still does. Every day that the mad mullahs run Iraq is another day we can thank Carter for all his hard work. And there is the small matter of 444 days that I haven’t forgotten — seems half of America has tho’.
Obama or Clinton will be just as bad as Carter if not worse.

Well said. Also New Zealand’s support on the WOT is
much appreciated in the U.S.

Cheers mate! It took a while for our Government to see where duty lay, but when Helen finally figured it out, she sent our very best. One of them even came home with the Victoria Cross!
God Bless America
If FDR were still in power, these two would have been shot already. Ditto for Kennedy.
