Taliban sympathizer Jodie Evans and President Barack Obama, Oct. 15, 2009
In a wide-ranging interview released this week by MIPtalk, Obama funder, terrorist sympathizer and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans spoke about her meetings with the Taliban and President Barack Obama. She lauded the Taliban for bringing peace and justice to Afghanistan while saying that the U.S. has failed to deliver either.
In a separate interview with Lauren Steiner, Jodie Evans went further in her criticism of the United States saying that we had created “hell on earth” in Afghanistan.
Jodie Evans also spoke about being called on by Obama’s Deputy Chief of Staff for a morning-after briefing following her hand delivery of a propaganda package to Obama about Afghanistan.
Jodie Evans admits in the interview she does “a lot to not support the troops.”
It has also been revealed by another source that despite their history of working to get our soldiers killed abroad and waging psychological war against the troops on the homefront, Jodie Evans and Code Pink were allowed to visit an Indiana National Guard unit at a base in Afghanistan.
Jodie Evans was a founding member of Obama’s campaign finance team, recruited in February 2007 to co-host Obama’s breakthrough Hollywood fundraiser with the Dreamworks trio of Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Later in 2007 she was appointed a fundraising bundler by Obama’s presidential campaign. She also donated tens of thousands of dollars to various Obama campaign vehicles in 2007 and 2008.
Obama’s last known in-person meeting with Jodie Evans was at a high dollar San Francisco fundraiser where he allowed himself to be filmed accepting a propaganda package opposing America’s victory in the Af-Pak front in the war on terror.
The Obama administration recently worked with Jodie Evans and Code Pink through the White House Office of Public Engagement to undermine public support for Obama’s surge in Afghanistan in the days after his speech at West Point announcing the new strategy.

Jodie Evans seems to have gotten quite pally with the Taliban, affectionately calling them by the nickname “The Tali” during the interview. She compares the Taliban’s treatment of women favorably to how the Afghan warlords treat women, glossing over the world-renowned atrocities committed against women by the Taliban.
When I was trying to keep us from invading Afghanistan eight years ago, you know, people were arguing, ‘But what about the women?’ And I was saying the warlords are worse than the Taliban, if there could be such a thing.
Because the Taliban at least creates a structure, and they don’t the rape the women. They just kinda keep them in their rooms, quiet. And you know, if you follow the rules, you’re okay. If you don’t, you’re in a lot of trouble.
But that’s true with the warlords. But the warlords are just, there are no rules. They go in and if they see somebody they like, just go in at night and rape them. They rape, you know, go in and rape your children. I mean, they’re still doing that and so the problem is as we go there, the warlords are horrific. We put them in as the governors of provinces that now the Taliban have taken back, and then the warlords are the ministers. They are raping, you know, people in their villages. You know, women are trying to get justice. They can’t get justice and they’re out in the streets. So we — the U.S. — are supporting these horrific war criminals as what we think should be leadership.
What Jodie Evans accuses the Afghan warlords of doing is precisely what the government of Saddam Hussein did to Iraqi women.
That was perfectly acceptable to Jodie Evans in 2003 when she went to Baghdad with Code Pink as a guest of Saddam’s government to lobby the world to keep the genocidal state sponsor of terrorism in power.
Jodie Evans has professed her wish that Saddam were back in power in Iraq even after Saddam’s killing fields and rape rooms were revealed to the world.
Jodie Evans also favorably compares the Taliban to the U.S.
Why is the Taliban in power in Afghanistan again? Because they deliver peace and justice and we, the United States, do not deliver that. We deliver chaos and corruption.
Evans goes on to accuse the U.S. of “creating terrorism”:
What causes terrorism is disrespect, a lack of justice and poverty.
We are creating that in Afghanistan. We are creating terrorism. Our presence creates terrorists. Not for us, because the Taliban is a nationalist organization, but for Afghanistan.
If we continue to create a world where there is poverty and disrespect, there will continue to be terrorism. I mean whether it’s al Qaeda, I mean we’ve made these boogie men.
The Taliban actually wanted to negotiate with the U.S. government. We talked to some of “the Tali” that said this, that they tried to negotiate with the U.S. government under Bush to turn in Osama, or to let him go to Yemen or something else, so that we wouldn’t attack Afghanistan. And U.S. wouldn’t make that deal.
It makes you curious about why we are really in Afghanistan, which is the question for the Afghans.
And I can promise you Obama and his administration have no idea why we’re there. They keep giving us another reason. It changes as much as Bush changed why we were in Iraq. Because if it’s really about al Qaeda, al Qaeda hasn’t been there for four years at least. Maybe there’s a few remnants, but it’s not Osama. There are more al Qaeda in Yemen and Somalia and Pakistan.
(Rowe: “Pennsylvania.”)
..and in Pennsylvania, exactly!
Were (sic) those people that, you know, brought down the towers all lived in the United States? And then none of them were from Iraq or Afghanistan.
(Rowe: “They were well educated people from Saudi Arabia and Egypt and Syria.”)
…Which is the difference between “the Tali” and al Qaeda, you know. They were very well educated and they’re from other countries. “The Tali” are uneducated warlords.

Code Pink (not Gibbs) truly speaks for Obama.
Doe this traitor have money of her own that she "funds" 0bamao with, or does she just pass it on from the Taliban, and is that why 0bamao does not speak of victory?
Naked treason providing aid and comfort to our enemies in a time of war.
Y'know... Y'know.
Celebrate stupidity.
Yeah, undesirable attributes.
Yeah, undesirable attributes.
Tokio Rose and her defenders claimed she was forced to do those broadcasts. Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw clearly served as NAZI propagandists of their own free will.
Awww, isn’t that sweet! The Taliban brought peace to Afghanistan! Along with stoning women, starving women, and just all around making life beyond miserable for all of them.
I wasn’t aware that Code Pink was for setting the women’s rights movement back 2000 years!
My point exactly. Shooting women in stadiums, not allowing girls to attend schools, not allowing women to see doctors, cause all doctors were men and women were not allowed to practice medicine and more. Why does this pinky hate women so much?
There, fixed it
“Naked treason providing aid and comfort to our enemies in a time of war....”
Absolutely. Should be tried and dealt with accordingly asap.
The lengths they are willing to go to delude themselves is astonishing.
Yeah, sure, we believe you.
Lady makes me sick.
IIRC many States funded asylums for people like Evans where they were able to receive help for their mental problems, but the Left insisted they all be closed down a number of years ago.
Today we see the real reasoning behing the Lefts actions. They use them as soldiers in their war on sanity.
They freely give themselves over to the Lie. It is what they love.
Great article...great work, Kristinn and Andrea. And, I miss Andrea’s Sunday nite radio program here in Orlando...what a great show that was!
As for this Jodie Evans, it should be no surprise that some of the extreme anti-war groups will hate America and support the enemy. Code Stink, Al-Coda...whatever to call that group....has been nothing short of the poster children for treason
“I wonder just how long Jodi would be allowed to live in a Taliban controlled country...”
I agree. Jodie Evans is absolutely deluded in her thinking.
I put her in the same category as though in Hollywood who speak glowingly of Fidel Castro and Cuba. I can’t but help notice how few of them choose to maintain dual citizenship there.
