A founding member of the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois met in New York City tonight with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Jodie Evans, who co-hosted Obama's first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February 2007 just after Obama announced his candidacy and is a top fundraiser and donor to Obama's campaign, led a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to "serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution" to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
The government of Iran is listed as a state sponsor of terrorism by the State Department and is strongly believed to be developing nuclear weapons.
Obama has stated that he would be willing to meet with Ahmadinejad and other enemies of the United States without conditions. Evans met with Obama in Beverly Hills last week at an exclusive $28,500 per person fundraiser. As a bundler for Obama, Evans is granted regular briefings with top Obama staff members and meeting with Obama and his vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
Obama has come under heavy criticism from military families and troops support organizations over his alliance with Evans.
Evans is co-founder of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink and works with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America in the war on terror. She also has publicly announced her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden and her "love" of Hugo Chavez.
Given Evans' closeness to regular contacts with Obama and his campaign, it is fair to ask if she is acting as an intermediary for Obama.
Obama recently put his seal of approval on Evans' attempt to storm the stage during the acceptance speech of Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska when he welcomed her to his two Hollywood fundraisers last week, the exclusive $28,500 per person event and the $2500 per person event Barbra Streisand sang at the same evening.
Others attending the meeting with Ahmadinejad included anti-American activists who support the terrorists in Iraq and work anti-American governments: Medea Benjamin, Brian Becker, Leslie Cagan, Larry Holmes and Ramsey Clark.
The press release announcing the meeting can be found here.
Update: Jodie Evans issued the following statement tonight on her meeting with Ahmadinejad.
“It’s rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host government —represented by the Bush administration — is so hostile,” said Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODEPINK. “The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.”
LOL (alot)...loooooved your rant
bookarked for commie reference
Tell it FReeper!
We cannot let the inmates anywhere near the WH.. This is downright treasonous and should not be diminished or overshadowed by economic news. Send it to every single lawmaker and news organization. If these monsters get in to office, we will have written the US obituary.
Piss in our time.
The stated purpose of the meeting was to “serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution” to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
A. Isn’t that what the rest of the world and us have been trying to do.
B. Isn’t this kind of activity treason?
C. Did Obama know this was going on and were they there representing him?
Code Pink wacko. I can only imagine what she told that other nut-job.
Jodie should go over to Iran to live for awhile. Let her visit the rights they would give to her. I doubt she would survive very long.
It would seem that many in the jewish community are leading the parade towards their own destruction.
George Washington would hang these traitors from the nearest tree, without hesitation.
After Jane Fonda it just got worse and worse
So, Obamadon of Ramadan is now forming a joint government with Ahmadinejad. Amazing, this is all happening before our eyes and the world, and the sterile, irrelevant press is blind and dumb to all this going on. Jesus said in the Last Days, He would send a great delusion that those who don’t know Him would believe the Lie. I used to think this was impossible. Today, it is happening. The Great lie is Islam, and those who promote it are opposed to God
"Palin: Not a woman's voice."
Does the emaciated little ankle-biter on the right speak with a woman's voice?
Does the trophy wife of an 84-year-old, anti-American billionaire "community organizer" speak with a woman's voice?
“Obama is now privy to high level national security briefings...which makes this VERY scary.”
You’re right, and as we all know now, the FBI doesn’t do any background check or investigation of candidates, either.
Amazing that a truck driver must undergo a Federal background check to haul cleaning supplies, they’re considered HazMat, or do business at a port, but a candidate for POTUS is supposed to be “vetted” by the press...
Yes, it’s very scary.
Hypothetical note from Obama:
Sorry, Mr. President. Cannot make it to DC to save America. Busy meeting with America’s enemies. Good luck!!
good one
What in the world are advisers to both Senators Obama and Clinton doing in Syria in the middle of a presidential campaign — and why are the two campaigns so unforthcoming about the details of the visits?...
SSDD.
What’s your problem with the press vetting a candidate? We all know the Media is fair and balanced. Look how fair they have been to Sarah Palin. They have been denying their
liberal left wing bias forever, why don’t you believe them?
2008 will be known as the year the Media died.
