New McCain Ad: “Dangerous” Obama Posted on October 6, 2008 This ad hits Obama hard. He tried to dodge the issue through Joe Biden at the VP debate, and tried to come across as a hawk during his debate against John McCain, but would a hawk who supports our troops say and do these things? As Ed says, Obama is the Code Pink candidate. Jodie Evans is one of Obama’s fundraisers, as well as being a founder of Code Pink who perhaps put the idea of meeting dictators without preconditions into Obama’s head, seeing as how she’s willingly met with...

I'm just leaving Chaifetz Arena on the campus of St. Louis University - what a night! After some pre-debate entertainment, thousands of GOPers settled in to watch Palin destroy Biden on several big screens. After the convincing win, Gov. Palin came by to deliver a speech, along with her family. They were on "The Straight Talk Express," and the bus literally pulled into the arena, some 30 feet from the stage. We were promised a big entrance, and she certainly didn't disappoint! At one point during the speech, some members of a group with a pink banner - presumably Code...

Jodi Evans, a founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink and "bundler" for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday. “It’s rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host government—represented by the Bush administration—is so hostile,” Evans said in a statement. “The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.” During the Democratic primary Obama came under fire from both his Democratic and Republican foes for promising...

Barack Obama of Illinois told Fox News today that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "really about peace and human rights and respecting justice."Evans met with the leader of the terrorist nation last night in New York City at a meeting of Marxist anti-American groups who have been campaigning to stop Western interference in Iran's alleged nuclear weapons development program.Ahmadinejad has spoken repeatedly of wiping Israel off the map and his government has trained and funded terrorist who wage war in Iraq on...

You may remember Zombie’s report from the Denver Democratic Convention, covering an incident in which Code Pink was trying to claim police brutality: Zombie: Anatomy of a Video - Democratic Convention 2008. Today the Denver district attorney announced that no charges will be filed against the police officer involved: Cop who shoved DNC protester to the ground cleared by Denver DA. The district attorney’s office will not file charges against a Denver police officer who was videotaped shoving an activist to the ground at a protest during the Democratic National Convention last month. On Aug. 26, CodePink activist Alicia Forrest,...

Code Pink is a group dedicated to peace in general and specifically to ending the war in Iraq. It was started in 2002 by women. Although their intentions may be good, they are an offense and a disgrace to our military and our country. Code Pink has no respect for our dedicated troops, who are in Iraq fighting for their country out of love, dedication and honor. One member was caught on video saying "Marines are war criminals" in a video on Youtube by the user SFCollegeRepublicans. Even if you disagree with the war, there is no need to disgrace...

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – the Izod Ayatollah – is coming back to New York to address the UN General Assembly today. If the United Nations today bore even the remotest resemblance to the international peacekeeping body it was founded to be, the line to denounce him would snake around the block, and Ahmadinejad would be arrested as soon as he set foot in New York. In fact, the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem has called for just that: it is preparing a petition for the UN Secretary-General, calling for the Iranian Thug-in-Chief’s arrest and indictment on charges of inciting...

Democrat presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois put his seal of approval on the woman who attempted to storm the stage during the acceptance speech by Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska at the Republican National Convention by welcoming her to his $28,500 per person fundraiser held in Hollywood on Tuesday night.Less than two weeks after garnering worldwide attention by getting within feet of the stage where Palin stood before getting dragged away by security personnel, Obama bundler Jodie Evans, co-founder of the anti-American group Code Pink, was one of about 300 donors attending the high-priced...

Jodie Evans and Barack ObamaNewly released Federal Election Commission documents reveal that Democratic party presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois accepted a hefty $7250 contribution this summer from terrorist supporter Jodie Evans, a co-founder of the anti-American group Code Pink.The contribution was made through a hybrid fundraising vehicle, the Obama Victory Fund, that splits contributions between Obama's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The records were filed on July 30 and July 31 of this year. Evans designated $2300 of the $7250 for Obama's general election campaign, the maximum allowed by law.The contribution was apparently given by Evans...

The Bush administration is facing a new headache, this time in Latin America, as two leftist governments it can't ignore booted the U.S. ambassadors this week. Simmering ideological tensions between President Bush and the populist presidents of Bolivia and Venezuela boiled over this week in twin diplomatic spats that threaten U.S. counternarcotics operations in the region and possibly American energy supplies. The administration says it wants to get along with the growing number of leftist leaders in the Western Hemisphere, but Bolivian President Evo Morales and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez are having none of it, essentially responding with the time-honored...

I have sneakily received an email from the Code Pinkos. They and their commie buddies are planning to hit the streets, going door to door, in an attempt to recruit more commies to their cause. The email text is in pink with translations underneath. See comments below for a better understanding of the Code Pinkos (barely) hidden agenda. Dear Friend, (Dear Comrade,) September 11 reminds us not only of the tragic events of 2001 but also how Bush's post-attack strategy has squandered so many lives and resources. While the Bush administration closed the door on those who advocated an alternative...

Top Obama fundraiser Jodie Evans stated she used C-SPAN credentials without the cable news outlet's knowledge at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul last week.Also, her Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin bragged to the press at the Democratic National Convention that she had convention press credentials under the name of a Christian radio netweork.Evans, who has been a part of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign finance operations since the beginning of his run for the White House in February 2007, charged the stage when Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was making her acceptance speech. She claimed to...

It wasn't raining when I got there. I knew there were hurricanes and tropical storms that were moving inland throughout the U.S. But me being me, I had only briefly checked the weather earlier that day and it seemed to show only a chance of showers for that evening. The real rain would come on Saturday. So ever optimistic, and not wanting to have lugged the MOAB into the car that morning and having driven it all the way to Walter Reed for nothing, I figured sure, let's put it up, we won't get rain. Trooprally tried to warn me....

It turns out a protest aimed at disrupting events at last week's Republican National Convention had a Fort Wayne connection. Fort Wayne realtor Annie Eckrich says her stolen identification was used by operatives to illegally gain entry onto the convention floor. Eckrich, who was an alternate delegate to the Republican Party extravaganza in Minneapolis- St. Paul, says she didn't know anything about what happened until a reporter called her, asking if she'd handed over her credentials to protesters. The story has gotten national attention on several political blogs. One of those blogs has displayed a picture of a simple badge...

The radical anti-war group CodePink infiltrated a Detroit Free Press focus group of independent voters for the political conventions during the last two weeks. Two CodePink members in the focus group claimed they were politically independent, then they ripped Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah’s Palin’s acceptance speech and praised Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s. Their comments appeared online and were excerpted in the Free Press’ print edition. A Free Press editor expressed regret over the incident. “I wish that it weren’t the case that there were two people from an activist group and we didn’t know about it,” assistant managing...

Still working on the some photos to post, but we had to get this video (the first of many ffxblog videos) uploaded. On our way to the Minneapolis airport, we happened to have a cab driver (and Army veteran) who had picked up the founders of code pink after they were kicked out of the XCel Center for interrupting Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech. (Here’s the video)

September 5, 2008 Dear Friend, On Thursday night, as John McCain made his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, two CODEPINK women-Liz Hourican and Nancy Mancias-interrupted his speech by calling for an end to the occupation of Iraq. The previous evening, CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans were dragged from the Republican National Convention after disrupting Sarah Palin's speech. Both CODEPINK teams were shocked by the magnitude of sheer, raw, hatred channeled in their direction. Even before they stood up to say "Palin is Not a Woman's Choice", they felt great animosity emanating from the hall; they felt...

How The West Was Won The rapid and unexpected decline of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq was officially recognized this week, when Maj. Gen. John Kelly, commanding the Marine Expeditionary Force, turned operational control of Anbar Province over to the Iraqi army and police. Anbar, a vast expanse of desert the size of North Carolina, had been the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency. For years, foreign fighters loyal to al-Qaida had sneaked across Iraq's northwestern border with Syria, into Anbar and down a "rat line" of safe houses in Haditha, Ramadi and Hit. From Fallujah, the arch terrorist Zarqawi...
