A Name Americans Should Know - Jodie Evans and the Obama-Hollywood-Terrorist Connection

How much access can a possible agent of influence for state sponsors of terrorism buy from President Barack Obama? For Jodie Evans, a progressive Hollywood activist, the going rate appears to be $30,400 for dinner and a conversation.

Last week in San Francisco, Obama headlined a three million dollar fundraiser at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. The San Francisco Chronicle reports about 160 people paid $30,400 or more per couple for a private dinner with Obama followed by a reception costing $500 to $1000 that drew over 900 attendees. Among those at the dinner was the leftist, so-called antiwar group Code Pink co-founder, Jodie Evans.

The Chronicle reports Jodie Evans had a several minutes long conversation with Obama at the fundraiser.

Why does Jodie Evans merit such face time with the president even though she acts as an agent of influence for the anti-American governments of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela, as well as Middle Eastern terrorists?

Jodie Evans helped rally the Los Angeles progressive community to Obama’s side by co-hosting the first Hollywood fundraiser for Obama in February 2007 along with her partner (and ex-husband) Max Palevsky and the Dreamworks trio of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. Jodie Evans went on to be appointed a fund raiser for Obama.

Over the life of the campaign, Jodie Evans became one of Obama’s top donors, giving the maximum $2300 to his respective primary and general election funds and tens of thousands of dollars more to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint Obama-Democratic National Committee fund.

Jodie Evans issued several public endorsements of Obama during the campaign targeting the progressive community.

Jodie Evans and Code Pink hosted a get out the vote training effort for Obama in October 2008.

That Jodie Evans is a respected power-player in the Democratic party is no surprise. She worked for Gov. Jerry Brown and managed his 1992 presidential campaign. However, the mainstream media continually gives Jodie Evans a pass, as was noted in this LA Weekly article from 2003 that chastised the Los Angeles Times for ignoring Jodie Evans’ role as a state Democratic party operative in an article on efforts to stave off the recall of her longtime colleague, Gov. Gray Davis.

What is surprising, or should be, is how upfront she is about her pro-terrorist politics and how accepting Obama and her fellow Democrats are of her. That someone with Jodie Evans’ background operates at the presidential level in American politics is extremely disturbing.

Last year, right before Jodie Evans attended another high dollar event for Obama, she gave a radio interview in which she sympathized with Osama bin Laden about his reasons for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that murdered nearly 3000 Americans and foreign nationals.

Jodie Evans:…”We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States.”

Paul A. Ibbetson: “Do you think that’s a valid argument?”

Jodie Evans: “Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?”

Also in the interview, Jodie Evans admitted to trying to “undermine the war effort” of the United States in the war on terror.

Jodie Evans has been espousing her support for terrorists for years. In February 2003, Jodie Evans and Code Pink traveled to Baghdad as a guest of Saddam Hussein’s government where they lobbied the world to keep the state sponsor of terrorism in power.

After the liberation, in the summer of 2003, Jodie Evans returned to Iraq where she set up Occupation Watch, an effort to smear the U.S. with ginned up charges of atrocities and to get troops in Iraq to quit the war. Jodie Evans relayed terrorist propaganda to a communist newspaper that American soldiers were wantonly slaughtering Iraqi women and children.

Jodie Evans and Code Pink delivered over $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to what Code Pink called “the other side” in Fallujah as the U.S. was waging a hard fought battle to clear the terrorist safe haven of al Qaeda in Iraq and other Sunni terrorists. The delivery of the aid to the terrorists was faciliated by Sen. Barbara Boxer and Reps. Henry Waxman, Dennis Kucinich and Raul Grijalva.

Code Pink's Jodie Evans embraces Jane Fonda

[God luvs America]

isn’t this the same wacko who tired to charge the stage when McCain made his acceptance speech at the convention last September in Minnesota and made that huge scene??

Surely you didn’t erase the ‘memory tape’, m’Lady. I’ve gone to using a very small digital one ... my memory isn’t what it use to be.

Why wasn’t this woman prosecuted for treason? If this isn’t providing aid and comfort to the enemy, then what is?

Bush’s justice dept. fell down on the job........AGAIN!!!!!!

Every Freeper with a Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter account needs to share this article on there. Even if one person reads it and passes it on...it is better than none never getting the chance to glance at it.

[gidget7]

IMO, for whatever it is worth, we need all true conservatives in Congress to seek private meetings with true blue dogs, keep them confidential, and between them, take the govt back. If nothing else, make them powerless till they can be replaced. There MUST be some blue dogs who are afraid for their country just as we are.

[armymarinemom]

Great program and great article. Thanks for letting me get in my two cents.

[happygrl]

The delivery of the aid to the terrorists was faciliated by Sen. Barbara Boxer and Reps. Henry Waxman, Dennis Kucinich and Raul Grijalva.

Traitors all.

We need to hold some of these so-called public servants accountable for treason.

[happygrl]

As was noted during the campaign: in Chicago politics, a newcomer is always asked "Who sent you"?

That question has never been satifactorally answered about 0bama.

SICK. How is this any different from Adam Gahdahn (sp?) or that guy from Marin working for the Taliban?

[bustinchops]

I think it’s much worse, much more damaging. She’s older, more experienced in the world, and it has gone on for quite awhile. What she’s done is far more calculating, intricate and sophisticated than what those two guys did.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Jodie Evans, Hanoi Jane Fonda...I see no difference. Both are skanks and anti-American!

[penelopesire]

“Why does Jodie Evans merit such face time with the president even though she acts as an agent of influence for the anti-American governments of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela, as well as Middle Eastern terrorists?”

Answer:

Because Code Pink is a George Soros front group. He is now Obama and the democrats puppetmaster.

[xtinct]

Merely observations: By now, the citizens know that elitists in government and Hollywood and universities are the domestic enemies of the U.S.

Wonder what their plans are to protect themselves from ordinary citizens once their evil plans against same are enacted.

Internet is a great place to find out exactly who America's domestic and foreign enemies are...

And, I think that the ordinary citizens know who they are... and, I believe they will rise to the occasion if pushed to it by the elitists...

[stephenjohnbanker]

“As the Soviet Union is no more, only hatred of the United States of America unites them. It’s all they’ve got... “

Well put.

[girlangler]

Actually I took notes with a pen and paper, no recorder.

I kept them for a long time, then threw them away. There was nothing really important on them except the comments with the reporter before the Al Jezera interview, and the discussion I believe was planning to stage a scene during the Republican convention, which they did.

“Answer:

BINGO! That Soros needs to be in jail where he belongs. Ian Fleming used to send James Bond after guys like him. He’s like Goldfinger, only worse!
