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?

my mother belongs to this group, they’re nuts
I forget about the reruns as I watch it at 7pm. Glad you are seeing it now.
I read that Palin is hesitating about some California invites. I am very behind on the news.
Great idea, but can you get arrested as many times as Sheehan and qualify for office?
If this is the Chicago ‘culture’ and how they behave, I want no part of it. I despise the thought of these cretins in the White House.
Including this vile creature as part of a fund-raiser, when she willfully disrupted our convention, is a slap in the face to all conservatives.
Nobama ‘08 or ever!
Did this self-centered lunatic manage to shut her big mouth at the Obama dinner?
LOLOL, fits right in doesn’t he? That’s funny. You know what, his ear is turning PINKer too!
That is FUSHA pinko!
Tom Hayden did.
I wanted to added a scarf. lol
I think that tie says it all, lol. BLINDINGLY says it!
Good laugh at bedtime.

Callypornia is a no-no-whey hoser state in 2008
An appearance for TV/FNC and hit NM, NV, CO, MO
Times a’wastin’
Yes, I know it’s a losing state. This was a fundraiser or two and they already had a lot of people signed up. If she hobnobs with the Hollywood crowd then they can’t remark on Obama’s doing it, that may be the reason.

Viacom(VIAB Quote - Cramer on VIAB - Stock Picks) confirmed an agreement Friday under which George Soros’ fund will pay $900 million for the movie library of recent Viacom acquisition DreamWorks.
The transaction, which has been previewed in media reports, covers 59 movies produced by the studio founded by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Viacom’s Paramount Pictures announced it was buying DreamWorks last year.

Hollywood crowd would evisrate her - with free TV ads on the news for Obama
Hit San Diego or another city with problems
Skip the lib urban jerks
well I live in this hoser state in a predominantly Rep. area. I’m still going out to hang door tags for the local RNC, getting my relatives out to vote, cause I tell you if the obamanation wins, then I definitely want to earn the right to b-tch about it....but CA may yet be a surprise....the # of $28,500 a plate delinquents is not going to swing CA. and I’ve been hearing positive remarks for M/P from unlikely corners and seeing more M/P bumper stickers, what have you, everyday.
[Skip the lib urban jerks]
It was an article on Drudge and I don’t recall if it was Hollywood people or not.
Anyway, we will know if she goes out there.
Obama went bodysurfing in Hawaii, taking lefts when he shoulda gone right, and with salt water still rumbling in his head, he tanked at Saddleback.
Isn't he somebody like Adam Clayton Powell, Jr?
Or more along the lines of George Lincoln Rockwell, friend of Malcolm-X, a major influence on a young Barry Obama?
Rockwell <--> Malcolm --> Calypso Louise <--> Wright --> Obama <--> Evans
Obama — attracts the worst in America..
