I am scheduled to be on Paul A. Ibbetson's 'Conscience of Kansas' radio show today at 6 p.m. EDT on 91.9 FM, the student radio station of Kansas State University.
The subject is the Obama-Code Pink scandal that has been slowly reaching critical mass in the past few weeks.
Ibbetson interviewed Obama bundler and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans two weeks ago. Evans said that Osama bin Laden had valid arguements for the 9/11 attacks. That statement made its way around the blogosphere and was picked up by the Republican National Committee in a press release issued last Saturday.

Background article on Obama and Jodie Evans:
Terrorist Supporter Hosted Obama Hollywood Fundraiser
Wednesday, April 16, 2008 | Kristinn
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.
