Activists rally to 'Free Bradley Manning' in WikiLeaks case (The American Traitors Are Back)
cnn ^ | 8/8/2010 | cnn

Posted on 08/08/2010 5:12:44 PM PDT by tobyhill

Activists rallied outside the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia, Sunday to applaud the man military officials suspect leaked scores of military documents to the WikiLeaks website -- a 22-year-old Army private named Bradley Manning.

"We are here to say that if he, indeed, was the whistle-blower, then we are proud of him," said Medea Benjamin, founder of anti-war group Code Pink. "In the United States that I know and love, transparency is a positive thing."

Manning, who served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, is the military's focus in the investigation into the largest-ever intelligence leak in American history, to WikiLeaks.org.

He is being detained at Quantico pending a military investigation in a separate case, in which he's charged with eight violations of the U.S. Criminal Code, including for allegedly leaking a secret military video from the Iraq war to WikiLeaks.

They need to go whine to Barry. He likes trading commie spies. I think he’d be willing to trade this treasonous muzzie homosexual for something. Maybe a pair of pink tights or a pink tutu.

Good. Then I'll dig up everything I can on you and post it on a public website.

Tell me, madam, what color is the sky on that planet where your 'United States' exists?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Hey Medea, he’s no whistle blower, he gave up secret documents in a time of war and if convicted should be executed.

So what is the next step?

Our government tries to prosecute him, but is kept from winning because he can use the ‘gay’ defense?

Is that what getting the ‘Don’t ask;Don’t tell’ policy changed was all about?

If this guy gets released, the uber-Left will give him a hero’s welcome. They’ll probably make him a Full Professor at some Moonbat (but oh very exclusive) school. And then the Obama Administration will have destroyed National Security.

He's a homo, so he'd probably enjoy death by "chi-chi". If you've never heard the joke before, sorry, I can't repeat it here. Just ask the crudest, most foul-mouthed person you know, and they might be able to tell you.

Scouts out! Cavalry Ho!

Unlikely as PFC Manning is US Army and only at Quantico (I am presuming) for its security while in proximity to D.C.

Actually, my wish would be for him, if found guilty, to be a permanent recruit and run through endless cycles with the very best of 'instruction' until he retires as a Recruit Trainee in 20+ years! After all, he can always serve as a bad example!

I'm all for that.

As in "Fly, be free" out of a C-130.

"You guys threw him out without a chute!"

"Of course we didn't sarge, Blake put it on him"

"Then what is that leaning again's Blake's leg"

"Oops, sorry sarge, you know Blake. Anvil, chute, same to him. Wonder where the anvil got off to?"

” Early life

Benjamin grew up in Long Island, a self-described “nice Jewish girl.”[1] During her freshman year at Tufts University, she renamed herself after the Greek mythological character Medea. She received a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University and a second master’s degree in economics from The New School.

Benjamin worked for 10 years as an economist and nutritionist in Latin America and Africa for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, the Swedish International Development Agency, and the Institute for Food and Development Policy.

Benjamin spent four years in Cuba, and has authored three books on the country.”

This fits right in with the times. The relatives of those killed at the beer distributorship must defend their dead family members against charges of racism and justifiable homicide. Relatives and friends of the humanitarian group killed in Afghanistan must defend their dead from charges that they were Christian American spies converting poor Muslims. Now this slime ball is a hero in the pantheon of leftist saints with Daniel Ellsberg and William Ayers. I'm ready to go farm rice in Ron Kat were things make more sense.

Isn’t Medea Benjamin a communist from Cuba? Seems like I read that a long time ago but just don’t remember for sure.
