Cindy Sheehan went to Caracas, Venezuela to put her thumb in the eye of the Bush administration. She was leading the World Social Forum, a far-left “alternative” to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, to cavort with fellow leftists. Less well known was that her trip was sponsored by the Venezuelan foreign ministry. The price of that was obligatory praise of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who’s rapidly plunging in the opinion polls for his incompetence and corruption. “I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States,” she said. Sheehan, who knows nothing of Venezuela, was easy to...

Medea Benjamin's organizations Code Pink and Global Exchange have enjoyed a long and peculiar relationship with both Castro's Cuba and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.The question is, how peculiar? And specifically, is she working as a foreign agent as defined by the United States Code?From the US Department of Justice, Foreign Agents Registration Act Q & A: United States Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Q. What constitutes an agent? A. An agent of a Foreign principal is any individual or organization which acts at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal, or whose activities are directed...

1/21/2006 ALLIANCE OF IRANIAN WOMEN PROTESTS CODE PINK ***** The Alliance of Iranian Women protests the actions of the Code Pink activists who have distorted the legitimate struggle of Iranian women, for their human rights, to suit their own political and ideological agenda. The top part of the picture is what the A.N.S.W.E.R coalition/Code pink activists, have photoshopped the top part of the photo (below), out of the original photo, shown in the bottom. First, they have mixed the picture of some western women to the original Iranian women’s picture. Then, not only they have made up slogans, in pink...

The afternoon started with the arrival a small but determined group from the Walter Reed victory on the Friday night. The group contained Apple Blossom, Lurker Bill, Concretebob, Doctor Raoul, Lurker Joan, gate2wire, Lurker George and his wife Ethel, and bmwcyle. We had a visit by a Vietnam Veteran, who stood on the grassy knoll above the peace-niks. He told them that signs similar to the ones their hands help to kill over 50,000 of his brothers in arms. Also a great mother of a young Marine solder over in Iraq stopped by to show her support. The cars driving...

In the action for which the activist will assist, "she...

Progressives Show Their Colors Publius Pundit has caught the “progressive” freaks at CODEPINK in an amazingly vile deception. They photoshopped a picture of an Iranian woman demonstrating for freedom into a banner advertising their anti-freedom cut-and-run campaign. I put the two images together:

I just received a phone call from Kristinn!! The DC Chapter of Protest Warriors obtained a permit for Code Pink’s side of the street today after the Pinko’s forgot to renew their permit. The blood dancers tried to stick it out for about 20-25 minutes before they tucked tail and retreated a block away to the closed entrance. Freepers and Protest Warriors now have all four corners outside the main entrance to WRAMC!

(CNSNews.com) - The anti-war group "Code Pink: Women for Peace" is thanking Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman John Murtha on its website for his "courageous stand on Iraq." The group -- which sparked controversy last summer with anti-war protests at a military hospital in the nation's capital -- recently presented Murtha its "pink badge of courage" for his anti-war activism. Code Pink's co-founder, Gael Murphy, and its coordinator for the Washington, D.C., area, Allison Yorra, met with Murtha earlier this month "to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. "We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers...

Congressman Murtha, the Democrat from Pennsylvania who served with honor in the Vietnam War but made controversial headlines when he called for troop withdrawals from Iraq is being honored. One wonders who would be honoring Congressman Murtha. The answer is not what you may think. It seems that the anti-war group CODEPINK is honoring him for his anti war efforts. The following is an excerpt from their website: CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and...

On Friday the 13th, the Pinkos had an unlucky night. We had a great turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond. It was a warm night thanks to the global warming caused by our SUVs.   We were able to deploy the MOAB, Mother-of-all-Banners. This was FReep #39 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center for 10 months now. We had a patriot from Michigan extend her trip to DC in order to stand with us. We were likewise honored to be joined...

Battered by the knowledge that the American public overwhelmingly supports our troops and their mission to win the war on terrorists, the gals from Code Pink have been working overtime to clean up their image as a bunch of angry, America-hating old biddies who fund terrorists and psychologically abuse our wounded soldiers. So, the angry, America-hating old biddies who fund terrorists and psychologically abuse our wounded soldiers ladies of Code Pink recently had a late-night brainstorming session, and this is the result...

was always amazed at how composed Marla remained amid the violence and confusion of Iraq. One of my favorite memories of her was when I was sitting in the middle of the Palestine Hotel lobby in Baghdad, surrounded by a confusing swirl of soldiers, officials, and reporters. Fear swept over me. What was I doing here? I had come as a freelancer, with no experience covering a war. Just as I was quietly freaking out, Marla appeared in the dusty, harried scene. She was the picture of calm in a perfect French braid and long blue dress. She was like...

I seem to recall hearing last year about members of Code Pink going to a country bordering Iraq for the purpose of giving money to the "insurgents", making it more financially possible to kill our fighting men and women out there. Can anyone verify this and provide a link?

<p>On January 29, 2006, the day after president Bush's state of the union address, WorldCantWait plans to hold a major protest in front of the White House. Anti Flag and Code Pink among hundreds of others have pledge to join in their party. You can also expect Cindy Sheenan and ANSWER to be there as well. Well, who doesn't like a little party? Come out and play.</p>

To Tell the Truth: Code Red on Code Pink Deacon Keith Fournier © Third Millennium, LLC I remember an immensely popular game show entitled “To Tell the Truth.” It began its long television tenure in 1969 and my mother loved to watch it. For those unfamiliar with the show, there were three contestants who attempted to deceive a four member panel of celebrities as to their true identity. One of them was the actual person associated with the events which were told to the contestants in a sworn affidavit read on the air. It recounted the story of the real...

IS THIS YOU?

Bay Area abortion-rights activists say a Roman Catholic group's advertisements on hundreds of BART trains and in scores of stations -- attacking the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision and asking "Abortion: Have we gone too far?" -- have gone too far in a region known for its progressive politics. Many of the ads have been torn down or defaced since the campaign began three weeks ago. "I think every woman has noticed them,'' said Suzanne "Sam" Joi, a member of Code Pink, a social justice and anti-war group. "I couldn't believe BART would allow something like this. Why are...

<p>On Jan 6, the first FReep of the new year, we had a great turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond. It was too cold and windy to deploy the MOAB, Mother-of-all-Banners. This was FReep #38 as FReepers have countered the anti-troop hate group Code Pink at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center for 10 months now. Code Pink was videotaped stealing one of the FReepers' signs and then caught red-handed (pink-handed?) after lying straight-faced to a police officer.  This happened after a stunning and brilliant tactic devised by kristinn. The details are on this thread: Code Pink & Kevin McCarron Caught Pink-Handed Stealing Marine Parents' Sign at Walter Reed, but the basic story will also be included below. We were honored to be joined by the father and brother of Joshua Sparling, the war-wounded Walter Reed patient, who had received left-wing hate mail wishing for his death (see the multiple threads here). We were also honored to welcome a FReeper and his wife from Texas and her father from Italy.</p>
