The Obama administrations unpopular bid to bomb Syria over chemical weapons attacks has given the leftist anti-American group Code Pink new life from sympathetic media and new fans on the right.

Code Pink waved blood-red painted hands in the air behind Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the House hearing on Syria this Wednesday. Conservatives opposed to waging war on Syria have taken to Twitter cheering Code Pink for the groups protests during the joint testimony of Kerry, Hagel and Dempsey this week before respective House and Senate committees.
Jessica Chasmar@JessicaChasmar I'm seriously loving Code Pink right now.
Ξ BLACK REPUBLICAN Ξ@blackrepublican I must give it to @codepink ..unlike the other anti-war frauds who only show up when Republicans are in office; at least they are consistent
Mary McKlemurry@msmarymac510 @TeaPartyBoise I did notice Code Pink kicked in and those red palms behind Lurch - proud of them this time!
While some on the right express common cause with Code Pink, they need to remember what Code Pink has done to our soldiers and who the group has worked with in their ten-year existence.
Briefly, Code Pink supported the genocidal terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein, even giving blood to Saddams government. After the U.S. toppled Saddam and occupied Iraq in 2003, Code Pink allied with the resistance, going so far as to give aid to what Code Pink called the other side in Fallujah as Marines fought to clear that Iraqi city of al Qaeda terrorists.
On the home front Code Pink took to protesting at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, waging psychological warfare on wounded warriors, their families and hospital staff--calling them war criminals and terrorists. Code Pink raised funds off the Fort Hood massacre, justifying the terrorist attack as a protest against the war in Afghanistan by an officer.
Code Pink has worked with Islamist terrorists, state sponsors of terrorism, the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama in opposition to the United States in the war on Islamist terror.
Just because you see Code Pink protesting the Obama administration, dont fall for the political theater. They are peas in a pod.
As will does who supports a war in Syria.
I still love the fact they are being hoisted on their own petard.
They also went to Egypt to give the MB/al Qaeda their
start.
Many crucifixions, beheadings and slave-taking followed.
NONE was reported by the MSM which continues to
falsely portray al Qaeda as the “victim”.
Code Pink, Assad, and Putin are not pro-American conservatives.
The idea of getting into bed with them. Why did you do that to us?
It is insane that they are on the same side of the issue as many Republicans and conservatives.
This is a situation where we agree with the anti-war far left. The situation is such that we’re on the same side now, and will oppose each other on plenty of stuff in the future.
While we oughtn’t get in bed with Code Pink, we certainly oughtn’t get in bed with Al Qaeda in Syria either.
So, we can have a principled opposition to the arming of Al Qaeda, and oppose becoming their air force, without espousing the idiocy of Code Pink.
Correct?
Code Pink gave money to terrorists.
While it is amusing that they chumped Kerry, avoid them at all costs.
Good thread. Thanks for posting this.
Neither is the Al Nusra Front (Al Qaeda in Syria).
So what say we refuse to support either group of bad guys?
Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.
A stopped clock is right at least once a day. (24 hour clock).
Code pink is anti-American. but as long as they are harassing my opponent, I will not stop them. Does not mean I support them. Does not mean I will pass-up an opportunity to do them harm.
I will nuke a bag of popcorn and watch the show.
bttt
* a reference to the face of the current SOS
Don’t get in bed with the “Free Syrian Army” either:
Free Syrian Army FSA Moderates Behead 24 Passengers on Bus, Including a Mother and Her 40-day old Baby
What the hell is wrong with John Kerry’s face????!!! It looks like he has a mask on.
Code Pink is there for a show. They work for evil. Code Pink has been silent since 2009 and Obama has been making war since then.
