Obama to Vets and Military Families: **** You! I'm Standing by Jodie Evans and Code Pink
Thursday, July 3, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/02/2008 10:32:22 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

CURRENT MAKEUP OF US CONGRESS

(Soure: congress.gov, via Wikipedia)

HOUSE:

DEMOCRAT - 236 gop - 199

SENATE:

DEMOCRAT - 49 (+2 indies) gop - 49

They Are The Majority. The majority of the American sheep voted them in, and the sheep’s representation is reflected by Congressional makeup.

Let’s review, kids: They Are The Majority.

Thanks for the ping

I saw her last night and was very angry that she did not even get questioned about the many awful things that the group has done or supported!

GRRRRRR.....

Barack Obama was “taking advantage of McCain’s absence” ...

&&&&&

and the chatty Kathies on tv were criticizing McCain for “leaving the country.” according to Media Research Center (Brent Bozell’s group.)

Makes you wonder how Obama ever became a member of Congress.

The sheep don’t even know the unwashed Stalinists in those pictures exist.

The sheep are the majority. They vote for republicans and democrats based on whoever shows them the better commercials between their sitcoms.

Even the dumbest bum lamb starts moving in the direction of safety when the sheepdog nips at him.

‘Bout time we all started doing some barking and nipping, wouldn’t you say?

Someone please explain to me why Jodie Evans and her minions in Code Pink(O) have not been arrested for treason? And, how dare Obama give legitimacy to these treasonous morons, let alone accept money from them. If this were the 1940’s these people would have been arrested and the career of any politician supporting them would be over.

Any group that aligns themselves with human rights violator, murderer and thief, Fidel Castro, cannot understand what a freemdomless country is like. They should be kissing the ground they walk on in the U.S.A.!!

I know first hand, Castro killed my innocent and beautiful grandmother and aunt, for nothing, no trial, no justice, no mercy.

In my eyes, these Castro lovers are either too stupid to see the truth, or so evil, they do not care.

This proves (again) that Obama bin Osama is NOT for the American way of life. He is against what most rational people are for and flat out doesn't give a damn about both US and us.
