Democratic presidential presumptive Sen. Barack Obama (IL) met with his terrorist supporting fundraiser, Jodie Evans, at a $5 million Hollywood fundraiser held last week at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion on Tuesday, June 24.
In what can only be described as a big middle finger to the veterans and military families who have urged Obama to renounce Evans, Obama met with Evans and was photographed with her at the fundraiser.
Evans is co-founder of the leftist anti-American group Code Pink. She and Code Pink have endorsed the terrorists in Iraq and have sent over $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to "the other side" in Fallujah.
Evans said in an interview last month on June 3 that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had a 'valid argument' for attacking America on Sept. 11, 2001.
When Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007, he turned to Jodie Evans, who had just returned from Cuba as a guest of the Castro government where she was protesting against America, to co-host his first big Hollywood fundraiser. He also tapped Evans to bundle between $50,000 and $100,000 for his campaign. Evans personally gave the legal maximum, $2300, to Obama's campaign.
A video posted at Indybay.org shows Evans' fellow co-founder of Code Pink, Fidel Castro groupie Medea Benjamin, describing in great detail Evans' meeting with Obama last week:
Note, Benjamin describes the meeting as if she were an eyewitness, but she doesn't say whether she was there with Evans)
"Last night Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans was at a Hollywood bash for Barack Obama. And it was pretty interesting because there was Jodie going up to get her picture taken with Barack Obama. And I don't know if you've seen but some of these right wing groups have been trying to say that Barack Obama is really a communist because he gets money from people like Jodie Evans.
"So Jodie went up to shake his hand and the first thing he said to her without her saying anything is, "I know you Jodie, and Code Pink. And I know that you want me to end this war and bring all the troops home and I am going to do that."
"And he said, "I know that you want there to be no permanent bases in Iraq and I want that too."
"And she said,"But we don't trust you because you just put these policy advisors who are leftovers from the Clinton administration who are not antiwar."
"He said, "Don't worry, I have other advisors and I want to end this war in Iraq."
"And then she said, "But we're worried because you aren't standing up against the FISA bill and for our rights not to be illegally spied on."
"And he said, "I am going to vote against that bill."
"Of course we wanted him to do more, we wanted him to filibuster but he's not willing to do that. She pushed him on that.
"But I bring this up because we have the ability to push from the inside and the outside. And its being right here at this kind of place and places like this around the country that are the antidote to the people that are pushing Barack Obama to be quote centrist, which means a warmonger.
"So we have to keep this fight up. Not just because we want to see this Marine recruiting station closed. But because we want this message to reverberate in the presidential elections and the congressional elections.
"We want Nancy Pelosi to hear it. We want Barack Obama to hear it. We want all of those who are in power now and might have even more power come November to know that we are serious about ending this occupation and this war."
Jodie Evans' record as an anti-American activist is well-known. She travels the world, meeting with the likes of Hugo Chavez and representatives of the so-called Iraqi resistance. In 2005, she had this to say about the terrorists killing and maiming American troops:
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.
Barack Obama has no problem meeting with her, accepting her money and enlisting her aid in his campaign.
Whether he does exactly as she wants when she wants is beside the point. The point is Evans has the blood of American soldiers on her hands--and Obama embraces her without reservation. And he wants to be commander-in-chief.
Now is the time for McCain to denounce her and demand that Obama denounce her. Do it, John, or you are headed back to the Senate, not the White House.
Sure would like to see a picture of the two. I’m sure one was taken private party or not.
But then after the primaries, the Democrats would have to find a living candidate to run (one that had not been executed)...
plus, a barf alert:

We know precisely what LIEberals mean when they claim to "support the war on terrorism"...
Now, I know the US Constitution is pretty loose with the definition of ‘treason’ so that people can exercise their freedoms. But isn't funding the enemy clearly “aiding and abetting”?
At what point do we try these people for treason, between our forced prayer sessions facing Mecca?
The fact that Benjamin and Evans are alive and walking around says everything about the fate of the American Republic.
They Are The Majority.
To all those who helped give us the worst candidate in the modern history of the GOP, you helped make this thing possible.
No they’re not. The majority is too lazy and apathetic to make signs.
The majority are on the couch, glued to reality shows. They only pay attention to current events when something big enough to prompt a celebrity telethon happens.
Yes, we can thank all those GOPers who pushed the RINOs RudyMcRomney. Great job guys!! It’s not like you weren’t warned.
That’s a good idea.
You’re welcome. Makes you wonder how Obama ever became a member of Congress.
The communist are being thrown out of office across the globe, lets keep this one out of our White House.
God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
— Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881
GREAT QUOTES about War and Peace and America to SUPPORT THE TROOPS

Thanks for the ping. We really should resurrect our treason laws. First candidates: The Code Pink leaders.
PING!
See my post number 2 on this thread. Thabks for the ping.
57 muslim states, that is. (Yes, there are 57 muslim countries, so that may have been a Freudian/Mohammedan slip on the part of Barack.)
I say it. Vote Obama, for no hope and only spare change. :-)
