One of President Barack Obama’s top funders, Code Pink’s Jodie Evans, is encouraging the kidnapping of former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, according to new statements issued this week by Jodie Evans and Code Pink.
While it might be tempting to look at this latest effort by Code Pink as an innocuous publicity campaign, Code Pink’s history of working with state sponsors of terrorism and supporting violent protest against President Bush–and their near successful arrest of then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales–is cause for concern.
Two weeks after meeting Obama at a high dollar fundraiser in San Francisco, Jodie Evans and Code Pink issued a call to action urging vigilantism against President Bush:
When Jodie Evans delivered the voices of Afghan women to President Obama, she was also delivering a demand for accountability. The women of Afghanistan are calling for accountability from the US as well as from the corrupt Afghan leaders that our government supports. How can we have true peace or justice if our leadership doesn’t own up to the devastation they have wrought?
…You can also use our website to track where the war criminals will be and how to do a citizen’s arrest action! Let Bush’s “motivational speaking tour” motivate you to arrest the war criminal!
…With your $10 donation you will receive a gift of our newest War Criminals playing cards–we hope the cards educate you and inspire you to grab a set of pink handcuffs and go make a citizen’s arrest, yourself. Our “how-to-arrest-a-war-criminal” guide is included!
Thank you for helping to hold these war criminals accountable!
Slapping the cuffs on for peace,
Dana, Emily, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Janet, Jodie, Marina, Medea, Nancy, Paris, Rae, Suzanne, and Whitney
The actions being urged and guided by Jodie Evans and Code Pink could result in federal kidnapping charges against someone who takes up their call for vigilantism–or their death as the Bushes still have Secret Service protection.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink have published a how-to guide at their Code Pink website for conducting citizens arrests of the Bushes and former Bush administration officials over their policies defending the United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink provide advice on how to stalk, arrest and choose what state, federal or international criminal charges to make against Bush, his wife and others.
A War Criminal Watch Calendar is published by Jodie Evans and Code Pink with up to the minute information on where to find Code Pink’s targets. Currently on the calendar is where to find Laura Bush and former Secretary of State Colin Powell at two Florida speaking engagements in early November.
President Bush is being targeted at a December speaking engagement in Texas.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink also explicitly call for the vigilante citizens arrest of former Vice President Richard B. Cheney:
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Tell Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate War Crimes
Arrest Dick Cheney
Know where Dick is going to be? Send us a tip! (The tip line is an e-mail address: warcrimetips at codepinkalert.org)
Bush and Cheney are included on Code Pink’s 10 Most Wanted War Criminals list along with former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The Washington Post reported on the attempt on Gonzales:
Diane Wilson comes over to talk about her morning at the Gonzales breakfast. She’s a former shrimper, an environmental activist and a fifth-generation resident of the tiny town of Seadrift, Tex.
“The plan was to handcuff myself to Gonzales,” Wilson says. But security came around asking for her ticket and she figured she’d get kicked out shortly, so under pretense of looking in her purse, she handcuffed herself to her chair.
“They started jerking me and I was jerking the chair between us,” she says. Finally, the handcuffs broke. Cheap pair, Wilson says. If she’d had her other handcuffs with her, that wouldn’t have happened.
Liberals in the media have been calling on Republican leaders to dial down their rhetoric and have accused conservatives of causing a rise in threats against Barack Obama.
Will those same liberals call on Barack Obama to renounce Jodie Evans and demand Code Pink stop threatening President Bush, Laura Bush and former Bush administration officials before someone gets hurt?
Jodie Evans and Code Pink urge people to call Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder. They even threaten to do Holder’s job:
It is high-time for some high-crime accountability and if the Attorney General won’t do it we have cuffs and we aren’t afraid to use them!
Code Pink provides a phone number for General Holder: 202 514-2001.
Please call him and ask that Code Pink be investigated for threatening President and Mrs. Bush, Vice President Cheney and others.

Venice, California...
Never saw that one coming... /s
Thanks KCVL, as if our state wasn’t a big enough horses ass as it was. LOL
I’d probably heard of her being in Venice before this, but there it is again. Sad really...
These Cindy Sheehan types baffle me. I suppose they are motivated by their consciences to do what they do. I do not understand what they could have been exposed to that would make them so poisonous to their homeland.
To my way of thinking, my conscience would prevent me from doing what they do. If there were an exact opposite of me, and I assume you and others here, these two would be it.
There isn’t much that is more repulsive to me than what these women support.
Freakin’ idiots! Let me throw up!!
Nothing was done about Vidal’s remarks about killing Bush, I doubt that anything will be done about CodePink’s.
George should just carry his .45 and kill these dumbasses if they even approach he and Laura. Their dead bodies bloating in the streets would be a vivid image.
Seems to me that President Bush gets more press these days than he did when he was in office. I’ll bet he’ll still be a big issue when 2012 comes around. They are in office now, but the campaign to beat Bush, who wasn’t and isn’t running, will never end.
When these extreme leftists say they want him dead, and want to kidnap them, they are NOT kidding, and I doubt that they are being taken as seriously as they need to be.
The Bushes are hated by evil people, and evil people do evil things.
Please pray!
This whacko is asking for a one way trip to Leavenworth.
Me too and it goes beyond politics. She has threatened President and Mrs. Bushess lives and should be arrested.
Brown is running for Governor of California —AGAIN.
Will this Evans person be a part of his campaign again?
IF so—GOP needs to keep the spotlight on this whacko.
Montel Williams apparently was quoted over the weekend of saying something pretty nasty about Michelle Backmann.
IF he did- I need an address to send him a letter telling him how vile I think his comment was.
You would think by now that they would be over BDS.
I cannot imagine what that large hunk of flesh is that is drooping below the hemline of that ‘dress’.
I am working hard to erase it from my memory bank.
Not only is she threatening the Bush’s, but she has attempted to become the leader of a conspiracy. She has done it in public, and is on the record.
I second your thought that she and like minded people should be arrested.
For that matter, I would support the same thing for anyone that would urge this action against Obama.
I don’t like what he is doing, but we don’t settle our differences with a gun unless open hostilities have broken out.
The last thing I would want to see, is Obama become a folk hero like Kennedy. God forbid a man like this become someone to emulate through ignorance, and you know how the press would play this, turning this guy into an absolute god.
Prayers will always continue, although I believe he and Laura have a special relationship with The Big Guy that will protect them far beyond what we can provide. They are good people and He knows it.
Of course. the “Afghan women” never said anything like the quotes given, which Medea Benjamin would confirm if she was given a truth serum.
Make you wonder if they’re even aware that Obama has been President since January.
Wow. Thanks for the ping, ohioWfan. This is just unbelievable. We do need to continue to pray for the Bushes.
Why anyone supports these crazed women I’ll never know?If someone goes after them and are killed by the secret service then will code pink be able to be sued for instigating this by their surviving family? They must have deep pockets being able to travel as much as they do?
It’s evil and scary....and on another level, very unprofessional, immature and
infantile of a public figure to mouth-off like that. One thing that it does show is that they are AFRAID of President Bush because of his character and his honesty...his TRUE honesty!
The Bushes do need our prayers of protection and for him to take them to task for their hateful ways! They continue to try to blame GW for all that is going on in this country, when I think most of America knows where this is REALLY coming from!
