One of Barack Obama's elite fundraisers from the anti-American group Code Pink attempted to storm the stage last night during Republican vice presidential nominee Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the GOP convention in St. Paul.
Jodie Evans, one of a group of about 500 top financiers who have bundled tens of thousands of dollars for the Obama campaign was seized by the Secret Service after she had made her way to side of the stage and and started to yell at Palin.
The Washington Post reported on the incident:
10:45 p.m. A pair of Code Pink activists just got to the very edge of the stage and were a moment away from apparently running on stage, right by the Kentucky slot on the floor next to a host of McCain's most senior staffers.
Secret Service men grabbed them at last minute and literally dragged them out.
--Paul Kane
Evans has bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama as well as contributing the maximum $2300 to Obama's presidential primary campaign. She co-hosted Obama's breakout Hollywood fundraiser at the start of his campaign in February 2007.
As a bundler, Evans has been given perks that include regular briefings by top campaign staffers on policy and private meetings with Obama and his vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Evans is infamous in conservative and military family circles for publicly endorsing the terrorists in Iraq against the American soldiers who toppled Saddam Hussein and have fought to keep free Iraq from falling to the hands of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups and nations.
Evans has worked with state sponsors of terrorism including the governments of Castro's Cuba and the the late Saddam Hussein. She has also met with Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez and has professed her "love" for him.
Evans has led Code Pink's campaign against the Marines in Berkeley where the group has called the Marines "assassins" and Evans herself has compared the Marine recruiting center in Berkeley to a porn shop.
Code Pink issued a press release a short while ago bragging about their attempt to disrupt Palin's speech:
Co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, who were given their tickets to the speech by a Republican delegate who was frustrated with the Republican party and Sarah Palin, caught the attention of Palin with their banners and shouting about 15 minutes into her speech. Palin stopped talking for a moment to turn to look at them.
After another moment, security then grabbed Benjamin and Evans and escorted them one at a time out of the St. Paul Xcel Center, where they were held until the end of the Palin’s speech and told they would be arrested if they tried to reenter. They were told they’d committed an arrestable offense but they were not charged.
“Sarah Palin is not a woman’s choice,” said Jodie Evans, co-founder, moments after being released. “That’s it.”
CODEPINK is a nonpartisan women’s peace group. They vehemently oppose Palin’s pro-war, anti-environment, anti-choice positions. More details to come. For questions, please call Jodie Evans at 310-913-4821.
Obama has rejected several requests from troop support groups that he renounce Evans for her support of the terrorists in Iraq.
Could any of you find out if there is a delegate to the RNC named Barry Holmes (or similar).

CODE PINK GIVES $600,000 TO THE ‘OTHER SIDE’ IN FALLUJAH (TREASON ALERT!)
Saturday, January 1, 2005 | Kristinn
Too bad she didn’t make the stage. Governor Palin would have clocked her.
Someone needs their credential pulled right now.
This is a vile group of “women.” They are all heinously bad-looking, angry, hateful people. Why were they even allowed in the building?
The psycho nuts are out...bring it on pinkfinks.
Storming the stage while a candidate for the office of V.P is there?
Sounds like a terrorist to me.
Send her to Gitmo ‘til we can sort it all out. Should take years.
Just in...
I trust you saw this already:

Is that what I think it is? Please tell me that is an operational phone number!
I have a few questions for these morons.
I think the first thing I would ask is where do you get your crack. It seems to be a lot stronger than most around ...
Is that the ‘chick’ that we saw being escorted up the stairs by the secret service while giving the peace sign?
I do not recall if I have EVER seen a pretty member of Code Pink.
Do they wear pink so we can tell they are actually female?
Why were they even allowed in the building?
I recall seeing that beached whale Michael Moore at the convention back in 2004.
What really baffles me is these idiots keep getting into trouble all over the place such as congressional hearings etc... Yet, they never seem to be in trouble.
How can they be allowed to roam around from state to state and create these incidents? In PA, if you get a DUI you are on probation and are not allowed to leave the state without talking to a probation officer ... How can people with numerous run-ins with the law keep showing up like waldo in a 100 page pop-up book?
An old Texican I had the pleasure of drinking with during my misspent youth - would often just shake his head at witnessing some fools demonstrating their foolishness or obnoxious behavior — and simply say: “Some folks just need killing”..
I never realize until much later in life, just how common that expression is among Texans...
I love Texans....and Texicans.
LOL. The original Secret Service. Imagine the howls from the left if she dropped two charging pinkos on stage?
The security detail for the speech tonight needs a careful vetting. The guys last night let a known agitator close enough to shoot Palin.
And who in the heck gave her the tickets?
Just what were they planning on doing if they made it to the stage? It would have been awful hypocritical if they got violent, considering they preach peace and all. Of course leftists rules usually don’t apply to them.
For questions, please call Jodie Evans at 310-913-4821

Excellent research!
“I’m sure Sarah...would’ve defended herself quite well.”
I think you’re right, and it would gone something like my flashback of Nolan Ryan putting Robin ventura in a headlock and pounding the daylights out of him when he rushed the mound...that was sweet...Ryan was in his mid forties, Ventura in his mid twenties and never laid a hand on Ryan.
For supporting terrorists instead of our troops, and trucking her fat but to Venezuela, this fat broad should be charged with treason. What a slime ball!
