The American left hasn't changed a bit.

American citizen Medea Benjamin, a leader of the anti-American group Code Pink, announced in Amman, Jordan this week that Code Pink, it's parent group Global Exchange and Families for Peace have donated $600,000 in aid to the 'other side' in the terrorist haven city of Fallujah in Iraq.
This news, which has been ignored by the media worldwide, was reported by Agence France Press but was picked up by only two small news outlets:
"I don't know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine ... for the families of the 'other side'," said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of Global Exchange, a human rights group.
"It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States ... opposed to the unjust nature of this war," she said.
"This is the positive face of the American people which we would like to show ... so that we are not looked at with animosity but with love. Our hearts go out to the people of Fallujah and to all the Iraqi people," she said.
Medea Benjamin and those working with her, opposed the liberation of the people of Iraq from the brutal reign of Saddam Hussein. They call themselves human rights activists, yet they support the worst human rights violators in the world from Fidel Castro to the terrorists in Fallujah.
With American troops in harm's way in Fallujah, Medea Benjamin's proud admission that she and her cohorts are giving aid to the 'other side' should be grounds for her arrest for treason.
Code Pink along with their anti-American friends International ANSWER--whose leader Ramsey Clark is one of Saddam Hussein's defense lawyers--will be protesting President Bush at his Inaugural Parade on January 20, using permits issued by the U.S. government.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Qaida's arm in Iraq (news - web sites) released a video Saturday showing its militants lining up five captured Iraqi security officers and executing them in the street, one of a string of recent attacks claimed by the group led by terror boss Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
A statement posted on an Islamist Web site along with the video denounced the five men as "American dogs," and the group warned other Iraqis they would meet the same fate if they join the security forces loyal to the government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, seen as collaborators with the U.S. military.
In the video, one of the prisoners identified himself as Lt. Bashar Latif Jassim and said his mission was to "prevent terrorists from entering Iraq."
When asked by one his captors — who did not appear on camera — who the terrorists are, Jassim said: "Those who sabotage the country."
The five prisoners — apparently captured in the insurgent hotbed of Ramadi, west of Baghdad — were shown sitting on the ground with five masked gunmen behind them, one reading a statement. A banner carrying the name of al-Zarqawi's group, al-Qaida in Iraq, hung in the background.
"Here is another bunch of apostates in the land of Iraq, another group of the doomed soldiers who came to the blessed jihad land of Ramadi to support the apostate Allawi government and help the unjust American enemy," said the man reading the statement.
"As usual, jihadists have no mercy when it comes to such infidel souls," he said.
The video then showed the five men lined up, their hands bound behind their back, and shot in a street in broad daylight. The militants repeatedly shot the men even after they fell to the ground.
People and cars are visible in the video, passing by during the shooting, and some even stop to watch. It is not clear, however, where the executions took place. One of the masked shooters left a paper, apparently a statement, on the back of one of the bodies.
In a separate written statement posted on the Web Saturday, al-Qaida also claimed responsibility for a number of attacks targeting security forces around Iraq earlier this week.
In one of the bloodiest days in recent months, militants killed some 20 policemen on Tuesday in attacks in various Iraqi provinces. The bloodiest attacks occurred in the northern city of Tikrit where 18 policemen died.
The group also said it was behind an attack on American post in Samarra the same day. The U.S. military had said three militants were killed in that operation, but al-Qaida claimed that two were only injured.
The statement said al-Qaida in Iraq was behind the attacks, which is said were part of a larger operation called "Killing the mercenary dogs."
Rebels have launched numerous strikes against police and National Guard posts in an attempt to cause desertions from the security forces, which are considered by militants to be American collaborators.
You're a racist and a warmonger.
On the other hand, I am racy and a whoremonger.
Sorry. She keeps running away from the dozer.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
This story makes me just absolutely sick and desirous of vigilante justice.
I am not positive but I believe since Congress has not declared war they could run a recruiting booth and not be charged with treason.
Good catch kristinn . . thanks for the post.
I know. What ever happened to going after people for treason (clear cut)?
We need to find a few good federal prosecutors who have
the guts.
IF WE ARE CUTTING OFF MONEY FROM ISLAMIC GROUPS (CHARITY,[SARCASM]) IN THIS COUNTRY FROM SENDING THEIR "DONATIONS" TO TERRORISTS, THEN WHY ARE WE NOT TARGETING U.S. CITIZENS FROM DOING THE SAME?
WAKE UP U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL!
Should be "Dead American Domestic Enemy"
Its only Treason if a republican does it. Otherwise its called compassion by the MSM.
Really. Didn't anyone learn from the "Oil for Fraud" program?
I WONDER IF WE NEED TO TAKE OUT FULL PAGE ADDS
ADVERTISING:
"WE PAID THE MURDERERS OF OUR CHILDREN TO MURDER YOURS"
AND LIST ALL THEIR HIDEOUS NAMES. At least a website.
This is insane. Utterly insane.
NOTE; THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR THOSE INCLINED TO JOIN IN A SIMILAR PRAYER OF AGREEMENT TO THE DEGREE AND WORDING OF THEIR SENSE OF WHAT MAY BE FITTING IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
Lord, God, given all the givens, it appears that You alone, Lord, are able and willing to deal decisively with such evil. Lord, I've had enough of Ramsey Clark. In the name of Jesus The Christ, I command the demons driving and lying to him to be silenced. If possible, Lord, may your Spirit bring him to confession and repentance.
IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, LORD, PLEASE REMOVE HIM FROM PUBLIC LIFE, IF NOT FROM THIS TIME/SPACE DIMENSION. LET HIM BE NEVER HEARD FROM OR HEARD OF AGAIN IN PUBLIC LIFE. LET HIS NAME AND REPUTATION BE UTTERLY DISGRACED. LET COMMON AMERICANS SPIT AT ANY MEMORY OR MENTION OF HIM UNTIL THEN. LET ALL WHO SEE HIM IN AIRPORTS AND ON THE STREET CURSE HIM TO HIS FACE AND CALL HIM AN EVIL TRAITOR TO HIS FACE. LET OTHERS CALL HIM WHAT HE ALSO IS--AN INSANE IDIOT. LET OTHERS CALL HIM AN EVIL STOOGE OF SATAN. LET HIM SHRIVEL UP AND BLOW AWAY IN EVERY MEANINGFUL, POSSIBLE SENSE OF THE WORD, IN JESUS' NAME.
And, Lord, while we're at it--there's been mention on FR of an brewing exposure of a massive high governmental level scandal involving one or more past US Presidents. Whatever this scandal involves, Lord, let your Light and publicity expose it to the redemption and in behalf of mercy on your sin soaked land. PLEASE SHOW THE EVIL FORCES MANIPULATING THINGS BEHIND THE SCENES THAT YOU ARE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM YOU. SHOW THEM THAT YOU EXPOSE THEIR SECRET HEARTS *AND* THEIR PERSISTENT EVIL DEEDS.
LORD, PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON OUR LAND. We realize judgment must come to the whole world and that our murdering our children is begging for it in spades. But, Lord, please give the blind, evil, deceived, selfish idiots some preliminary wake-up calls first. Give us another chance to come to repentance before You, in Jesus' Name.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! SO LET IT BE SAID. SO LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL, PRIORITIES AND METHODS, OH, LORD.
Sigh.
Amen.
True. Time for a new revolution in this country
to take back its values spearheaded by FReepers of course, who top the list of TRUE Americans.
I am sick of traitorous, leftists groups who derail, degrade our country to the point of "apologizing" to our enemies (the Dipsy Chimps are a great example}.
I think 2005 will be the year to really start knuckling under and dealing with groups like these.
This young group of girls at the convention appeared to have been shipped in with no clue what their purpose was. The above quote was not a joke...that's basically what was said. This group is not just a few disgruntled people, or a few antiwar protesters. It looks to be a well-funded front.
I hope they gave them a permit so they can all be corralled, interrogated, and arrested.
THANKS.
I hear ya ! What I find amazing is that so many on the left will not only lap up and absorb the propaganda from this countries enemies, they believe it without hesitation or examination.
The treason starts when they put those delusions into actions that aid and abed this countries declared enemies.
If I spent the last 3 months clearing house after house in Fallujah only to find out the enemy within our own country is giving them more than a half a million dollars to refit, rearm, and recover to fight us again, I'd demand justice !
Our COWARDS in the Senate and House of Mis-Representatives need to find some courage (hah!) and honesty for a change and DECLARE WAR legally!
Why? These enemy combatants inside our borders going by the name "Code Pink" and whichever other name they want to hide behind, can be arrested - prosecuted - and executed if guilty.
Without a declaration of war. they are only TRAITORS that "We, The People" have been charged with, by the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, to protect our country from.
