<p>Pink was everywhere.</p> <p>There were pink jelly beans, pink cookies and pink lemonade. There were glittery pink shrines. Men and women sported pink sweaters, scarves, feather boas and hats.</p> <p>Several pink balloons floated through the air in the tiny West Davis room where about three dozen members and guests of Code Pink were raising money last month to send delegates to Juárez, Mexico, where participants planned to protest the hundreds of unsolved murders of women in that city.</p>

VIRGINIA &#8211; Grief stricken Hiroshima survivors yesterday confronted the newly restored Enola Gay, the American plane that dropped the world's first atomic bomb. Six survivors and about 50 peace activists visited a new museum, where the restored Boeing B-29 Superfortress has just gone on public display, holding pictures of hideously burned victims among tens of thousands killed or injured by the 1945 blast.Two men were arrested after a bottle of red paint, meant to symbolise blood, was thrown, denting a panel on one side of the plane &#8211; parked in a new annex to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space...

Tonight at 9:30 p.m., C-SPAN2 presents a press conference by some military families who went on a tour of Iraq last week that was orchestrated by Medea Benjamin.I attended the press conference today. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl. I did.

Parents of military personnel in Iraq have made an ill-considered visit to that country. Date published: 12/10/2003 Rate Iraq trip 'PM' for parental misguidance THEY USED TO CALL IT "aiding and abetting the enemy." That means helping the people with whom your nation is at war. Then Jane Fonda appointed herself Conscience of America, was wined and dined in Hanoi, and made loose-cannon diplomacy stylish. Now a group of wrong-headed family members of U.S. military personnel stationed in Iraq have made a trip to Baghdad. Their mission? To let Iraqis know that not all Americans support the U.S. military presence...

The Blue Star Mothers of America -- a military support group -- is blasting what it calls a "leftist-led" tour of Iraq by the parents of some U.S. service members. "Operation Iraq Watch and Global Exchange are anti-American leftist groups that are cynically exploiting the fears and concerns of families in order to achieve their goal of undermining morale and bringing about the defeat of America in the War on Terror," said the Blue Star Mothers in a press release issued Tuesday. Blue Star Mothers of America is a congressionally chartered veterans support group, which includes parents of active-duty military...

Military Families Delegation to Iraq participants will be in Washington, DC Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to share stories of their personal experiences in Iraq. On November 29th, ten family members of US military personnel who had served or are serving in Iraq left the United States to travel to Iraq. Their purpose was to see first hand how the war in Iraq was being conducted and to bring a message of peace to the people of Iraq. Included in this group was Fernando Suarez del Solar who lost his 20-year-old son died on March 27, 2003 when he stepped on...

If Howard Dean is the increasingly the voice of Democrats in America today, activist Jodie Evans is the face of the Democrats' future. A radical activist and Democratic fund-raiser, she mirrors the Party's core on its three most important issues: hating President Bush, denouncing the war and engineering the L.A. Times' last-minute sexual harassment accusations against Arnold Schwarzenegger during the California recall election. Evans rose to prominence via her role in Code Pink for Peace, a self-described “grassroots peace and social justice movement” formed just one year ago to organize public protests against America’s impending war in Iraq. Though its...

Right now, there are 2,308 parties planned. On the evening of December 7th, 2003, thousands of people around the country will gather to watch and discuss the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Together, we'll strengthen the MoveOn community, get the truth out, and raise some money to make sure that people in key battleground states know the real story about how we went to war.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was handed a "pink slip" -- a frilly piece of lingerie -- yesterday from an enraged group of female war protestors who told her to quit her job because she was not doing enough to oppose military action against Iraq. "Hillary is getting the pink slip," said Medea Benjamin, an organizer from New York, "because she is not representing her constituents. She should get another job." The New York Democrat spoke calmly during a 10-minute repartee she had with about 50 women from Code Pink, a feminist anti-war group planning demonstrations this weekend in Washington. Dressed...

Though California Gov. Gray Davis says his campaign has nothing to do with stories painting Arnold Schwarzenegger as a serial groper, at least one of Schwarzenegger's female accusers was coached to come forward by a Democratic Party operative who worked closely with Davis and who is also a friend of Democratic dirt digger Bob Mullholland. On Friday Colette Brooks said that when she was an intern at CNN in 1981, Schwarzenegger grabbed her backside while she was escorting him onto the set of a TV talk show. Brooks acknowledged that she came forward to the Los Angeles Times at...

<p>Code Pink is more than just a group of female protesters opposed to the "testosterone-poisoned" war rhetoric it says has spewed forth from the White House.</p> <p>We first wrote about these "purportedly peaceful ladies" last week, after a Maryland man claimed he was assaulted by Code Pink antiwar marchers — one of whom snatched his patriotic sign — at least six times. Code Pink's David Hoffman finds that charge hard to swallow.</p>

<p>Political tidbits and other shenanigans from around the nation's capital.</p> <p>No matter your position on Iraq, a march, rally, protest or demonstration is being held somewhere in Washington to suit your fancy. But don't be fooled by the organizer's name.</p> <p>Take "CodePink," purportedly peaceful ladies.</p>

It has been an amazing two days here in South Florida, we’ve rallied to support the men and women in our military who bravely put their lives on the line to defend us and put down a socialist rebellion of the uncleansed who armed themselves with pink parasols. Friday morning we woke to discover buried in an article of the Sun Sentinel about South Floriduh Anti-Americans traveling to D.C. To protest against our Nation, that the traitors who could not make that trip would be rebelling in Hollywood. This didn’t give us much time to counter their action, but Dennis...

Dr. Phil McGraw's syndicated daily program took an activist slant Friday when he featured military personnel and families of American POWs and those killed in action in Operation Iraqi Fredom. His guests included Medea Benjamin, AKA "Baghdad Barbie", founder of Code Pink. Benjamin and her cohorts sputtered the usual lines: the evils of Coalition intervention; how badly their Iraqi friends are suffering because of the war; how she and the Pinkettes are the true Americans fighting to save lives; how Iraq is the new Vietnam; how they are justified in getting their message across regardless of the consequences. Meanwhile, Dr....
