You are correct. Medea Benjamin met with Evo Morales several weeks ago just before he started a diplomatic row with the U.S.
Unbelieveable.
Thank God for Free Republic, where we can get this story out to our fellow Americans.
I'll press the abuse button on myself on the way out. It was worth it.
And another thing, you mush brained, do nothing, see nothing, hear nothing weasels had better never, ever do what your Golden Boy did in Europe and apologize for my country in front of a bunch of Communist, Socialist, Israel hating fagots.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Leading CODEPINK activists and other peace organizations meet with Iranian president in New York
NEW YORK — Calling it a “major step forward” in relations between Iran and the United States, leading activists Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans of CODEPINK Women for Peace — along with more than 150 other U.S. peace group representatives — met Wednesday afternoon with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here following his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
At the meeting at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, coordinated by interfaith peace group the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the peace activists talked to Ahmadinejad about their desire to strengthen people-to-people ties between the two countries. They presented several proposals for the Iranian government to consider and copies of a petition signed by 50 U.S. mayors all over the country calling for diplomatic engagement with Iran, not military action. The petition, promoted by CODEPINK, illustrates how local U.S. leaders are anxious to move national resources away from military intervention and into reinvestment in infrastructure, schools and health care. CODEPINK proposed taking a delegation of U.S. Mayors to Iran to create “sister cities.”
“U.S. government officials are quick to stir up hostilities with Iran, but the American people are tired of war,” said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the nonpartisan women’s peace group CODEPINK. “The peace movement represents the sentiment of the majority of Americans who want our two countries to find ways to work together and improve relations. We are modeling the behavior we want to see our government adopt.”
The CODEPINK women proposed inviting American and Iranian artists to build a “peace park” in Tehran, a memorial dedicated to people-to-people commitment to peace and diplomacy between our two countries.
They also proposed a plan to invest funds in an Iranian business, one that produces green and sustainable products, such as bicycles. This grassroots investment would be the opposite of efforts by the Bush administration and Congress to tighten sanctions, a move which CODEPINK thinks would only hurt ordinary, everyday Iranians. Such a symbolic CODEPINK investment in a green, sustainable business would challenge U.S. regulations blocking trade with Iran and would show how diplomacy and trade are preferable to war and sanctions.
The meeting, which took place in a cordial and positive atmosphere, was considered a great breakthrough. “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.”
Ping!

Hey, this is fun! When can I ignore laws that I don’t like?
*glares at 16th Amendment*
That Ellis guy has popped into my head as representative of Liberal self-awareness.
Why not say what you really think?
Obama and his ilk are disgusting.
He was probably ROTFLHAO when the door closed behind them.
OK, They are from Hell.

bicycles made of high-tolerance maraging steel or aluminum tubes, perhaps?
when not working to end war.....
So...she was in the miltary?
The Leftists meet the regimists - that’s who these groups are (CASMII,AIC,etc)
So, shall we have the country run by leftist lunatics? That’s where we are at. Jodie Evans, leftist lunatic and Ahmadinejad apologist. And, incidentally, a Barack Obama supporter.
These leftist morons think they’re more important than anything.
They could of at least ironed their dresses before they showed up to the party....no respect I tell ya.
That’s nothing. Larry King had him on CNN, talking sweetness and light.
