Obama campaign activist Jodie Evans

Democrat presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois put his seal of approval on the woman who attempted to storm the stage during the acceptance speech by Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska at the Republican National Convention by welcoming her to his $28,500 per person fundraiser held in Hollywood on Tuesday night.
Less than two weeks after garnering worldwide attention by getting within feet of the stage where Palin stood before getting dragged away by security personnel, Obama bundler Jodie Evans, co-founder of the anti-American group Code Pink, was one of about 300 donors attending the high-priced fundraiser Obama held at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills that brought in approximately $8 million for the Obama campaign and the Democratic party, according to Entertainment Weekly, which published the donor list for the event.
Obama greeted the elite donors individually and posed for photos with them.
Days after Palin's speech, the National Review's Jim Geraghty suggested to Obama that he cut his ties to Evans.
Others have urged Obama to cut his ties to Evans over much more egregious behavior. Specifically her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden, her work with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America's war effort, her embrace of Hugo Chavez and her campaign to drive the Marines out of Berkeley--among a long list of treasonous actions.
Evans has been part of the Obama campaign from its beginning. She co-hosted his breakthrough Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007, the month he launched his candidacy.
Evans has contributed the maximum $4600 total to Obama's presidential primary and general election funds. Evans is also listed by the Obama campaign as a bundler of between $50,000 and $100,000 in contributions to his campaign.
Evans and Code Pink also delivered $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to the families of what Code Pink called "the other side" in Fallujah, Iraq as the Marines were liberating that city from al Qaeda in Iraq in late 2004.
Evans and Code Pink will be in New York City next week where they will be calling for President Bush to be arrested at the United Nations and put on trial for being "the world's number one war criminal."
Barack Obama's close embrace of Evans as one of the key members of his campaign has been virtually ignored by the media. With six weeks left in the campaign, will they inform the American people that the man who aspires to be commander-in-chief is intimately allied with someone who is working to get American soldiers killed and America defeated in the war on terror?

> hollywood is NOT elite. Sick yes...elite no!
AMEN!
US Navy SEALS are Elite. US Marines are Elite. Delta Force is Elite. US Rangers are Elite. Texas Rangers are Elite. 101 Airborne is Elite. The Blue Angels are Elite. Royal Marine Commandos are Elite. The SAS is Elite. The SBS is Elite...
What's a bundler?
Just recently he was talking about getting up in peoples’ faces to convince them to vote for him!
Slight typo. That really should be a "G" instead of a "D", shouldn't it?
Cheers!
Good headline. =]
“Too bad I wasn’t there cause I wouldn’t have punched her right on the kisser! Honestly folks, I would have tackled her to the floor. I could NOT believe NOBODY from the aisle grab her and threw her down the stairs or even made an attempt to stop her!!”
I think it would have been cool for security to escort her to the stage and for Sarah to say ‘May I help you?’ I would’ve loved to see the reaction to that!
you got it.
I fear it is simply TOO LATE for America to survive, when the ONLY person charged with treason in this entire War on Islamofascism(to my knowledge, anyway) is Adam Gadahn.
Surely this screeching bitch from Hell deserves to be executed. She’s so utterly vile and so blatantly, shamelessly in league with our mortal enemies she makes Jack Murtha, Dick Durbin, Ward Churchill, and Michael Moore look like confused coeds.
Hussein’s luck has GOT to run out soon. It’s just one egregious treason after another! The Iraqi foreign minister’s firsthand account of B. Hussein’s violating the Logan Act, and two days later, this morsel added to the stack...please, Lord, do your work soon...

A part of America’s majesty — and one of the main reasons why I love and admire America — is that even a monstrosity such as this has the freedom of speech and the freedom of association and that these freedoms — as odious as they are in their expression — are protected by the very people whom she holds in contempt.
The Good and Right have always prior claim to the Moral High Ground — as this situation illustrates beautifully.
God Bless America
I wish these people would just go away, far away. Like out of OUR country!!
Another despicable leftist associating with an equally despicable leftist masquerading as a presidential candidate.
Sending to Mark Levin for his show.
Thanks, Kristin
Oh, my God. You unfortunate creature. Thank God you’re a Freeper!! We are here for you!! You are supported here!
Please be strong...I can only imagine your plight...
Who was the Victoria Jackson that shelled out $28,500 to support Obama?
So you’re arguing no limits to such freedoms? Surely you haven’t had your coffee yet.
Just as it is over the line to falsely yell “fire” in a crowded theater, there are Constitutional mandates warranting the death penalty for treason in time of war—and every war that we’ve actually won, we’ve actually hung and/or shot those among us that gave aid and comfort to/adhered to the enemy, undermined the effort of our troops & our Commander-in-Chief, officers, etc.
Before I rip you one, get your coffee and realize that yours is—without caffeine, I’ll grant you that benefit—far too liberal an attitude, and a symptom of “anything-goes creep.”
I suppose it’s just another expression, one of those “highest and noblest expressions of our sacred and hallowed freedoms” that you might choose to knowingly and willingly house and feed the next cabal of a sleeper cell in your home as they prepare their assault here in the homeland—because it’s just the American way that you have the right, the protected and cherished, majestic right—to show your love of jihad by doing so, and that such hatred of and abetting of attacks on your own country is somehow the most precious of your freedoms?
Don’t you realize in what kind of things this woman has actually engaged?
On the other hand, this kind of behavior on the part of Code Pink screechers could help some of the “undecideds” make up their minds.
Wonder if Rush will pick up on this today?
It boggles the mind, how much of a case there is against Hussein; a litany of atrocities against America, that likely will never be made widely public by the MSM.
I’m not joking when I say I’m truly scared of the statists and their lock on the media.
I just realized you’re from New Zealand, and not an American. So I shouldn’t be so harsh with you. Your grasp of what we’re about is very much appreciated, but rather over-romanticized. Free speech/expression/association and free Islamic terrorist-collaborating/aiding/supporting aren’t the same thing.
