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.
Shouldn't this be criminally prosecutable under some kind of "illegally interferring in foreign policy" law?
Apologies due here Rob. I misread your post as referencing the Code Pinkos.
My mistake.
Not yet. And I don't expect them to. They gave them a pass on their aid to the "other side" last December.
Hmmm .. I'm thinking they are one of the Liberals that Rove was talking about
Since the time of the Vietnam War, all that went out the window. We saw the same thing in the 80s in Central America.
OK, if you feel the need to give positive spin for the terrorists I guess insurgent fits your objective.

Eh? Was that directed to me? I didn't call them insurgents.
TRUE TRUE TRUE...Rumsfield is a liar and wants to pull the wool over everyone's eyes...Terrorists in the Middle East are not going away any time soon! ISLAM creates strife, murder and never created a democratic society, Saudi's are allowed to kill practicing christians and jews in there country, what the hell do they think The Iraqi Military is going to rid the insurgents and terrorists? we cannot even control our own borders here in the USA but somehow the Iraqi Military will secure there borders from terrorists? give me a break, this war has gone weary because we have not fought to win and leave.
How can one question that which is nonexistent?
Missyme,
Radical Islam has been developing for decades. The various terrorist groups pretty much had a free run until 9/11. It'll take a long time to win this war. Not only do we have to defeat the enemy, but we also have to keep it from becoming a global conflagration.
Next?
This woman is an ignoramus. The Left is a seemingly endless fount of inane stupidity. Simply stunning.
These people are traitors, but I give them credit for being honest about their treachery.
The elected officials who are undermining our efforts in this war are the ones who really need to be strung up. What happened to their oath to "protect and defend" ?
The liberals are pulling out all of their weapons against it including being treasonous to the USA.
We have to start using the word TREASON more on our signs. And, we can relate exactly who these people and organizations are.
Looks like I gotta pull out the old sign, "Treason Is The Reason".
She knows exactly what she's doing. These people are skilled operators. Don't underestimate their, um, cunning.
I agree with the treason part. The court fight will be one for the ages, but if we lose the war on terror at home the courts won't matter as they'll have been blown to bits by the bad guys.
I guess that's where we (Freepers and other regular folk) have to step in.
Code Pink has weekly Morale Destruction demonstrations outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center. During their "vigils" at WRAMC, they tell people that they support the troops. In Istanbul and during their book signings, etc. they show their true colors... they wish for more of our soldiers to be killed and wounded and they support those who are killing and maiming our sons and daughters.
The war on the homefront continues...
We can't let that happen. There are more of us than there are of them.
It all comes back - as ususal - to the fact that the silent majority would prefer to remain silent. This is diametrically opposed to the nature of the bolsheviks in this country.
IMHO, a grass-roots movement (easy to say, almost impossible to launch, and forever to achieve) must start, and its chances of success are remote if it isn't bi-partisan. The reason I say that is that there are so many democRats, especially where I live in the South Texas area, who are salt-of-the-earth, hard-working, conservative people, be they Hispanic or Anglo, who pull the democRat lever because their dads and moms did so at election time, when they were loyal to FDR.
So the emphasis for bringing these folks around is with getting them to field conservative candidates for municipal, county, and state offices, in the hope of eventually seeing these conservative democRats "bubble up" to D.C.
However, the same effort must be expended for Republicans as well, to *prevent* the fielding of people like John McCain, Jim Jeffords, and Lindsey Graham. We need conservatives, IOW, running in both parties. You know what this will cause: With none but conservatives coming up through the rank and file of BOTH parties, the liberals' days of power are numbered.
It's simply amazing to me that after Karl Rove made the TRUE statements I heard him make, that the liberals have the stones to demand an apology and/or his resignation. Like I said, I wish the Republicans had those kinds of stones.
