Leftist anti-American, terrorist-supporting groups have announced they will hold a "non-violent direct action" protest at the White House on Monday, October 5th calling for the complete withdrawal of American forces from the Afghanistan and Pakistan theaters in the war on terror, thereby giving victory to al Qaeda and the Taliban.
One of the groups leaders is Code Pink's Jodie Evans, an early and top financier of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The millionairess Evans is an acknowledged expert in playing the inside-outside game of radical politics--playing the radical on the streets while being chauffered in a Cadillac Escalade to high-level meetings with Democrat politicians.
Evans also works with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, the Castro government of Cuba and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, having praised the state sponsor of terrorism as "as really about peace and human rights" after she met with him last year in between meetings with Obama. Evans and Code Pink visited Iran as guests of Ahmadinejad a few weeks after Obama was elected president last November.
Evans and Code Pink also endorsed and funded the terrorists in Iraq.
The day of the protest, October 5th, is also the last day of Code Pink's weeklong trip to Afghanistan to meet the "resistance".
(Another inside outside player is Van Jones, the former Obama appointee who is a friend and ally of Code Pink and served with Evans on the board of the Rainforest Action Network in 2005.)
Gold Star Mother and leftist tool Cindy Sheehan is scheduled to participate in the protest. Sheehan's protest of Obama during his Martha's Vineyard vacation this past August was overshadowed by the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy at nearby Hyannis Port.
According to a press release issued today, the following groups are participating in the protest: National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance, Code Pink, Peace Action, the Black is Back Coalition, Progressive Democrats of America, the War Resisters League, the Washington Peace Center, World Can’t Wait, Veterans for Peace, and Voices for Creative Nonviolence.
The World Can't Wait is a front for the Maoist cult group, the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Veterans for Peace is a communist front group that has supported the Sandinistas, Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein.
The Progessive Democrats of America (PDA) has seven Democratic Comgressmen on its advisory board: Reps. John Conyers, Donna Edwards, Raul Grijalva, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Jim McGovern and Lynn Woolsey.
Also on the PDA's board are Code Pink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Obama financier Jodie Evans.
The press release includes language sympathetic to the terrorists killing our soldiers:
"The war increasingly appears unwinnable, unnecessary, and misguided, draining American lives and resources, causing immense suffering among Afghan civilians, and rallying a broad-based insurgency whose main goal is to end the US occupation — not to engage in long-range terrorist attacks against the United States."
The groups plan to hold a rally a few blocks from the White House at McPherson Square at 10:30 a.m. on October 5th, followed by a photo-op at the Monica Gate at the White House at 11:45 a.m. where they will attempt to deliver a letter demanding a meeting with Obama.
If Obama does not immediately agree to a meeting, the protesters state they are willing to "risk arrest, in the tradition of Gandhi, Dr. King, and Dorothy Day, in order to persuade the commander-in-chief to meet their demands"
Their demands include U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and Pakistan "as soon as possible", closing terrorist detention facilities at Bagram and Guantanamo, trying suspected terrorists in civilian courts and the usual books not bombs leftist agit-prop.
The left has been working to weaken the political will to fight the war on terror since the days after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. They believe their moment has arrived with a fellow leftist in the White House and emerging alliances of far-left and far-right politicans and thinkers like Reps. Alan Grayson and Ron Paul and commentators Katrina Vanden Huevel and George Will.
Obama's unstated strategy of softening public support for the war by not seeking public support and callously treating his hand-picked Afghan war commander, Gen. Stanley McCrystal, is paying off as polls (spit!) show public support falling.
Americans have spent more years watching new episodes of The Simpsons cartoons (1987-present) and Law & Order (1990-present) than they have spent watching the war on terror (2001-present) (Only 2-3 percent of 300 million Americans have actually participated in the war.)
Unlike the world of fictional TV shows, real Americans will die if Obama cancels the war on terror.
The anti-American left is counting on Americans having less stamina to win a war for our survival than we have to watch The Simpsons and Law & Order.
Obama’s going to use his pimp hand like he did when he worked for ACORN.
Didn’t Chuck Gibson give Cindy Sheehan a verbal chewing a while back?
Paging Charlie Gibson! (We won’t hold our breath!)

Yes, he did. But, that was sooooooooooo ‘last week’ (with this bunch).
PING!
They’re at it again!
Mmm mmm mmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He says we need to lend a hand
To buy our guns before he bans!
“Hopefully, patriotic Americans will show up at the White House on October 5th to counter the leftists and stand up for our troops and America.”

Wish I still lived closer to DC than I do now.
It has been a peaceful 8 months not having to hear about these morons every other day.
...is paying off as polls (spit!) show public support falling.
HEY! I should have done a TM on that spit. ;*)
Americans have spent more years watching...[TV]...than they have spent watching the war on terror
As you know, I do not fall into that category, but I certainly understand your point.
Unlike the world of fictional TV shows, real Americans will die if Obama cancels the war on terror.
He canceled the WOT shortly after the coronation. I believe you meant to say Overseas Contingency Operation.
Regardless what it is called, your point about real Americans dying is well taken. Sadly, not many real Americans seem to care all that much.
The anti-American left is counting on Americans having less stamina to win a war for our survival than we have to watch The Simpsons and Law & Order.
If the last 8 years is any indication, they are smart to count on it. Hey, it worked in the late 60s and early 70s.
They are much like those they protect, the islamo-facists, PATIENT!
Since January the focus in Afghanistan and Pakistan seems to have been one of farm-aid and road building and now that the harvest season is upon us and the Taliban has focused on the elected leadership and the remaining fighting forces, what better time to pull out and declare that next year’s crops have already been planted and the fields of democracy will burst forth where only misery and want went before?
Nice post!
Sorry, no implication intended.
Where have you been? They protested right outside the White House on a weekly, if not daily basis for at least 5 years.
Every Saturday Squeegee and Friends were in front of the WH with posters spread all over the street and cardboard cut out face masks of President Bush and many of his cabinet members.
On August 12, 2006 terrorists rallied in front of the White House.
One photographer snapped a photo clearly showing the outline of a gun tucked in his pants. The FBI was called and a CD of the pics was given to them. This was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed. The police moved the FReepers to the other side of the WH stating they could not protect us where we had a permitted space.
Code Pink held an all night PJ party in Lafayette Park, but I cannot find the details at the moment. They were there in the park and I was standing outside the gate with 3 others holding "Human Shield" signs.
You could be right, but I don’t like the idea of pulling out and having the war turn into the Vietnam redux everyone has been clamoring about.
Bush’ll get blamed for it and Obama will have all that money to pay your electric bill after the doubling of prices when the EPA shuts down half of the coal-fired power plants next year.
What do you want to bet he won’t run out of Washington that day... In fact, I could see him walking out onto the lawn and right up to these folks to “chat” — if the Secret Service would LET him, that is... After all, what does he have to fear from these people?
I had missed these connection being offline during July! Thank you for posting this, as always you are the BEST at putting together incredible information to use against the liberals I “debate” with, ETL.
So wish I could join you for the counter-protest, Kristinn! Godspeed to all Patriots attending on October 5th.
I had been wondering where all these folks disappeared to. I’m sure they’ve had this planned all along — this is hardly a “protest”, it’s more like a show of support for Obama asking the Pentagon for withdrawal plans. All staged of course!
