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.
Its 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.
Mark my words: The Jews of America are no longer going to be silent. We will join with Middle America and cling to guns and our faith in the one whos name is not to be spoken.
Shabbat Shalom, everyone.
That makes me want to PUKE!
Iran met with Code Pink?
HAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHHHAHHHA!
A clear violation of the Logan Act.
Clap 'em in irons, and weld 'em shut. (The problem is, even though it was last amended in 1994, no one has ever been prosecuted for a violation of the act.
I like your analogy.
You right. Same group of tard idiots.
The founders knew of these stupid morons over 200 years ago.
Thank god!!
I sent this on to Drudge. Maybe if a number of us send him a link he will put it up.
I second that!
I love that pic.
That is one butt kicking looking woman!
That all sounds wonderful.
Wake me in about 4 hours.
A complete and utter traitor.
Thanks! This is starting to get picked up at a few sites already tonight.
Has the word “traitor” been edited out of everyone’s copy of Webster’s dictionary. or what?
TREASON!
That just makes me want to barf.
As long as they hate the U.S., Jodie is in their court.
“what about Penny Pritzker”
I think the dinner is tonight. I expect at least one “Schmidt Storm” as a result of this.

GOOD! This atrocity needs the widest possible distribution — people need to see what on earth is going on with Code Pink, Amadinnahjacket, ad nauseum. Where is the FBI? The CIA? Do they bother to watch these disgusting creatures?
Nobama doesn’t need to “negotiate” with Iran. Nobama IS Iran....
