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've observed that the left usually does not maintain their personal hygiene very well.
I bet $20.00 that her cunning stinks.
Neither of us would have the intestinal fortitude to check out her cunning.
We need Glenn Beck to start his next national tour to support the troups. The turnout here, his final stop on the last tour, was tremendous!
And people did rally their support for the troops, loud and clear!
You bad.
I don't. The left tried to give us Helter Skelter in the late Sixties. The American people didn't join in then and I can't see it now.

Upon reflection, you are right.
Of course, you just blew my rationale for purchasing YET ANOTHER military-grade semi-auto.

(Maxwell Smart voice) Well then, would you believe Leftist Terrorism?
Hey, your welcome.
I didn't mean to come across as a wise guy.
shame on you! ;-)
Kind of the way I feel about Howard Dean.
Laz, if I were forced to plum the depths of her cunning I would demand to be taken to Gitmo instead. As JFK once said, sometimes party loyalty asks too much.
Plumb.
That's the only positive thing about this. They have done us the favor of exposing their true selves.
Am I too late to say Thank you???
You are sick, but FR wouldn't be the same without your humor.
That would be a good idea. Hannity is doing his event for the troops at Six Flags soon. We need more.
Thanks for the ping!
I am sick. Sick in the head. I oughta be thrown out of the gosh darned baseball stadium. Fans like me should never be admitted in the first place.
