Code Pink leader Jodie Evans, in a blog posted from the World Tribunal on Iraq, today gave her open support to the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American soldiers and Iraqis
While some may wonder, "is this news?" it is, indeed. Code Pink has been very careful over the past three years to maintain a front of being a peace group. In fact, it's complete name is Code Pink Women for Peace. The veil slipped when co-leader Medea Benjamin shot her mouth off in Jordan last December when she proclaimed the group was giving $600,000 in cash and aid to the families of "the other side" in Fallujah.
Recently, Code Pink has been holding weekly Friday night vigils at the main gate to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to express their phony support for the men and women recuperating from their war wounds. I wonder how the soldiers and families at Walter Reed will take the news that the pink sign holding people have given their support to the terrorists in Iraq.
The D.C. Chapter will be sure to tell them at our next patriotic counter-demonstration there.
Here are Jodie Evans' remarks, preserved for posterity:
We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. What does the Iraqi resistance have to lose? They are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies. It is so amazingly obvious; we must get out of Iraq now. They will rebuild their country, it will take time, a long time, but they cannot start until we are gone.
Code Pink now joins ANSWER as publicly endorsing the terrorists. This has been a sticking point between ANSWER on one side and Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice on the other. I expect them all to support the terrorists publicly by the time Sept. 24-26 rolls around in Washington, D.C.
The leftists are planning "non-violent direct action and civil disobedience" in D.C. on Monday Sept. 26. When they tried that two years ago, the D.C. police swiftly disrupted their plans by arresting leftist protesters demonstrating without a permit. Since then, successful lawsuits were filed against the D.C. police and the D.C. City Council passed a law severely restricting the cops' ability to preserve law and order in the city when protests get out of hand.
Code Pink will be there and I'm sure their terrorist allies will be cheering them on.
I did not hide under my bed when I returned from Vietnam and will not do so now. I am just telling you the truth. Once the courts get involved and the congress is made up of WIMPS it is near impossible to do anything. Kennedy will never see the letter as the letters we write our elected representatives are almost never read by the elected member but by their staff who may or may not (most of the time NOT) even talk to them about the letters.
Humf. That is so true.
I guess we do need to add that slogan, with the one "Not one thin dime, until you get a spine".
The Republicans need to hear us as well...and I know they do, because I heard a local radio interview with John Cornyn last week, and the border security/immigration topic came up (please everyone, DO NOT turn this thread into bash Bush on border security thread), and Cornyn admitted that the voices of the "people" have been heard in Wash...
He said that the President and Congress has been somewhat surprised at the volume of mail and phone calls this problem has generated...and he said that the Minutemen were very instrumental in getting the notice of the Congress...
He wasn't angry or resentful, in fact, I think he is having to change his opinion of how to approach this because of what you all, and others have said to their congresscritters...so let it be known, that our efforts aren't going unnoticed.
They should stop negotiating with the Palestinian terrorists and instead direct their energy towards eliminating terrorists.
Time to stop being "sensitive" to Pakistan and to smoke out Osama also.
Jim, that has to be the greatest one-word response I've ever seen on this board!
It appears that some do. 8^)
BTW- I am reclaiming my favorite color! Let those filthy creatures get their own color. Pink is all mine!
Please tell me how we will put some back bone into our elected representatives? I donated a lot of money to several senate campaigns and can not get one word out of any of them as to how they will stop these traitors. They are too worried about getting an invitation to the next democrat (party) celebration and to make sure that the Washington Post and the NYTs do not say bad things about them.
Frightening isn't the only word that came to mind, but what the heck is she supposed to be?
They consider people with manners as being weak.
In wartime, they would be correct.
That's the beautiful"Medea Benjamin" of code pink stink. I did a tiny bit of PS.

Besides the "I love my Bush," what?
The cod stink = code pink?
we should be out there with signs which say: "Code Pink - Honk if you love al queda"
The real resolve needed is on #87
major bump
