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.
The ones who are stabbing them in the back are precisely the ones we are fighting against in this forum.
Attacking Saudi Arabia, home to Mecca, after 9/11 would have given us a real World War with all that comes with it. Maybe you want that, I don't.
They believe all they have to do to be patriotic is to say they are.
insurgent
noun
1 : a person who rises in revolt against civil authority or an established government; especially : one not recognized as a belligerent
2 : one that acts contrary to the established leadership (as of a political party, union, or corporation) or its decisions and policies
OK, if you feel the need to give positive spin for the terrorists I guess insurgent fits your objective.

Bye bye.
Precisely right. I've been asking if laws against treason and sedition have been abolished at some moment when we weren't paying attention........and if not, then why aren't they being used? We need to get tough with these people "now, more than ever," as Hannity would say.
From Ward Churchill straight up the line to Dick Durbin, people giving aid and comfort to our mortal enemies should be looking out at the world from between steel bars. Why isn't this happening? Who and where would such prosecutions originate?
Sheesh. I'm frustrated about the growing, true lawlessness in America now.......and for once, I'm not talking about street gangs in south central L.A! I'm talking about highly placed government officials and probably a few thousand marxist university professors....."all the little Churchills" across this once pristine, united bless-ed land!
Hmph-h-hhh!

Am I being oblivious to practicality? Really? I think not.
Well, if they quack like a duck...it's time to open up hunting season.
Look who is the spokesman of the DNC? Look at the brash statements democratic members of the house and senate make before congress...forever to be entombed within the congressional record. Very few dems called on Durbin to retract his remarks, yet they got their dander up when ROVE simple told the truth about "Liberals".
It's not without precedent for a sitting POTUS to call out treasoness members of the opposing party. (ala Lincoln)
Frankly, status qou isnt working. All I am suggesting the POTUS do, is simply compare and contrast known democrat statements (SUCH AS TED KENNEDY, DURBIN, et al.) with the facts in an open forum...thus, letting the country know he is disturbed by their seditious behaviour in twisting the truth.
Is that so oblivious to practicality? Again, I think not.
Let us know when you'll be visiting here again. We'll roll out the red carpet.
I have a hunch Guillermo will be spending a lot more time with his buddies at DU from hereon.
Don't let the door hit you in your sorry rear, traitor.
What Iraqi resistance? About 90 percent of the "insurgents" are from countries other than Iraq.
I don't suppose it ever occured to Code Pink that it's not the Iraqi people that are resisting, it's foreign islamic leaders sending mercenaries that don't want their people to desire freedom.
The leftist scum euphemistically call it an "insurgency" to conjure up images of native Iraqis fighting for their freedom against the horrible oppressive U.S. military, and the media and DoD press people fall right into the trap.
Very original tag line you hoist here. Now where have I seen that one?
Misled kids. It's truly sad. I am sure he'll make himself a martyr in his own mind...
About time we see these creeps for who they really are. MSM have anything on this?
Difference? How?
The Walter Reed phony vigil has not gone well for them since we set up shop across the street. The soldiers inside have gotten wise as to who they are.
Bye bye. Thanks Jim. Not even worth our time.
