L.A. Leftists Get the Code Pink Treatment at Jodie Evans' Jerry Brown Fundraiser
Big Peace ^ | Sunday, August 22, 2010 | Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King

Melanie Morgan, founder of Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop organization, led about a dozen conservative activists who protested at the Venice home of Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans at a Saturday afternoon fundraiser for California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown.

Morgan reports the pro-American protesters, “blocked the entrance of hundreds of wealthy Democrat liberals, including Sally Kellerman and Cindy Asner, ex-wife of Ed Asner.” Protesters laid down on the sidewalk outside the entrance gate where guests had to step over them.

Event host Jodie Evans was visibly angry at getting a taste of her own medicine and had several confrontations, including one in which she denied, against the evidence, that she supports the terrorist organization Hamas. Several guests were none-too-pleased with being protested, while some had no idea they were attending an event associated with Code Pink.

Jerry Brown sneaked into the house from the back door while Melanie Morgan threw her body onto the sidewalk shouting, “Code Pink supports terrorists!” When not laying on the sidewalk, Morgan stood outside the back gate, “yelling through a screen at [Evans] while she sipped her white wine as Brown’s security guard watched from inside his SUV with the engine running for two hours.” Though the Dodge Durango burned needless fossil fuels, presumably waiting for Brown’s departure, he left in yet another vehicle.


Protester Danny Gonzalez lies on the sidewalk outside the gated entrance.

Police were called and arrived in a squad car about an hour into the event. However, the trio of law enforcement officers found no reason to make any arrests.

Also observing the scene was Andrew Breitbart, who was wearing inline skates, as well as prominent blogger Mickey Kaus of Slate, who heard the disturbance from his house across the street. He came out and observed, but did not join the protest.

Jodie Evans became visibly agitated when confronted by Morgan about Code Pink’s $600,000 donation to the families of terrorists who murdered U.S. troops in Fallujah. Evans snapped “you are on crack!” as Morgan persisted.

Morgan added, “these liberals were shocked that we turned up. They were extremely angry about our obnoxious support of U.S. troops… and completely oblivious to the irony. The most fun was watching Jodie Evans’ skin mottle in anger, matching her dyed red hair!”

Andrew Marcus of Big Government and Founding Bloggers videotaped the protest and remarked on the irony that one of the Code Pink greeters complained about being protested, a tactic commonly associated with Code Pink.

Great post. Kudos to those that lay down on the sidewalk and blocked the entrance.

Jodie Evans - she can go entertain herself.

I rather enjoy how wealthy lefties claim to represent the poor and oppressed yet the lavish amounts of money spent on the food spread and the wine list at these ‘fundraisers’ could feed so many people in poverty.

Hypocrites and clueless idiots.

Code Pink does not belong in American society. Like liberalism they do not represent the American viewpoint and deserve to hear from those who truly contribute to this country and it’s independence. By her reaction alone one can deduce that she believes only she and those on her side are allowed to protest. She and her kind have no place in this country. They should remain in isolation right where they are ie) California & New York & quit spreading around.

“I love a “turnabout is fairplay” protest.”

And all the richer because Evans missed the irony completely.

I meant to write: Awesome! You Go Melanie et al! Any video?

I was thinking of Melanie Morgan’s friend Debbie Lee, whom I was reading about last evening.

GOD BLESS THE USA!

Fabulous absolutely fabulous! Last nite, I watched the vid of Benjamin brazenly approaching Mrs Prince’s house and going in...taking advantage of the woman’s warm nature and greeting in order to get into the house. They are scum...I love that the tables were turned on them. This is definitely the method that needs to be used on these kook American haters. Civility and silence are no longer an option.

Is the vid that Andrew Marcus made available on youtube?
