Anti-war camp urges Obama to dump Gates By: Jen DiMascio November 11, 2008 01:57 PM EST Arms control advocates and anti-war activists are ratcheting up pressure on President-elect Barack Obama to dump Defense Secretary Robert Gates and replace him with a more strident anti-war voice. Nominating Gates to stay, “would be a violation of the mandate for change that Obama says he represents,” said Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the anti-war group CodePink. A better bipartisan fit for Obama, they say, is Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), who brings out what they like about Gates – his ability to deal with Russia,...

Jodie Evans, a top financier of the Obama campaign and a co-founder of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink, issued a statement today declaring victory for the "peace movement."The leftist-led antiwar movement defines peace as America's defeat and withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.Evans' participation at the top levels of the Obama campaign was ignored by the mainstream media, conservative talk radio, leading bloggers like Michelle Malkin and the McCain campaign, has worked with the terrorists in Iraq and state sponsors of terrorism throughout the war on terror and has publicly expressed sympathy for Osama bin Laden's reason for the terror attacks...

When challenged on his radical, anti-American associates, Barack Obama responds by saying they are in his past and not a part of his campaign. He's correct on that, and that explains why some give him a pass on his past.However, there is one anti-American he has not thrown under the bus who is very much a part of his campaign--and has been from the very beginning. Obama's alliance with this person makes sense of his past association with Bill Ayers as this person is Ayers' ideological twin.If you are currently in the service, a veteran or military family member, Obama's...

Drawing perhaps the most fire is Code Pink’s support for the Iraqi insurgency that has killed more than 3,700 American soldiers and wounded nearly 30,000 since since post-combat operations began there in May of 2003. The group’s co-founder, Jody (sic) Evans, was an international observer at the World Tribunal on Iraq in June 2005. The Tribunal culminated in a statement signed by ativists (sic) from 10 countries that characterized the insurgency as "legitimate and justified" and called for war crimes charges against Bush and other world leaders who backed the U.S. invasion. Washington City Paper, January 9, 2008Well-known politico and...

They vowed to kick the Marines out of Berkeley. But they’re the ones cutting and running. I mentioned the Code Pink retreat from the Berkeley Marine recruiting center last month. Now, they’re holding a moving sale to evacuate their Solano Ave. office: “EVERYTHING MUST GO.” Including their sorry, pink-clad backsides.

In the most liberal neighbourhood of America's most liberal city, it's possible to walk for blocks without seeing a single campaign sign declaring support for Barack Obama.But those Cindy Sheehan For Congress posters? They are displayed in the windows of bohemian coffee shops and Hispanic diners throughout the Mission District, a community that has long been an incubator for leftist politics and a place where the 2008 presidential election has sometimes been less interesting than the congressional battle being waged in their own backyard.Here in California's 8th District, the most powerful Democrat in Congress, Nancy Pelosi, is facing a...

San Francisco voters are getting automated phone calls from comedian Roseanne Barr, asking them to vote for anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan in her congressional race against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.Putting aside for a moment the question of whether the robocalls are legal in California (they may not be, but as any voter with a phone knows, that's not stopping any politician this fall), is Roseanne really the person any politician wants as the face -- or the voice -- of the campaign?Take, for example, Barr's comments last week at an event for Sheehan's independent campaign: "Sometimes me and Pelosi...

In an interview published today, Jodie Evans, the terrorist supporting financier of the Obama campaign and Code Pink co-founder, told the Politico that she feels "honored" by the attention Obama and his campaign pays to her and other high-dollar funders of his presidential campaign.Evans has a documented history of working with state sponsors of terrorism, supporting the terrorists in Iraq and sympathizing with Osama bin Laden. Evans' treason has not been an impediment to Obama making her a key player in his bid to be commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States.Politico characterized the Venice-based Evans' statement about...

An anti-war protester confronted former Bush administration aide Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers' meeting. *snip* Rove, who was speaking Tuesday at the Mortgage Bankers Association's annual convention, elbowed Boneparth away as she was escorted off the stage.

Source link If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying. You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, D.C., which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed. A McCain "win" will not be illegitimate because I disagree with his policies, but because he himself has rendered it illegitimate. He and his campaign and allied supporters have sought to illegally remove hundreds of thousands of voters from the rolls, fraudulently registered...

If Obama wins then we have effectively turned control of our national defenses over to Code Pink. Our national treasury over to the Chicago mob. Our justice department to the Rainbow Coalition. Control of our elections to ACORN. Our national ministry of propaganda to HuffingtonPost, DailyKos and MoveOn (which admittedly would be an improvement over CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/NYT/WP/AP, et al). The IRS to Charlie Rangel. Banking/Finance to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Housing to Tony Rezco. The new Global Warming Department to Al Gore. The State Department to Clinton, Inc. Education to NOW. The selection of our judges to the ACLU. Homeland...

A Bit of ‘I Told You So’ Outside World Bank Talks By HELENE COOPER and CHARLIE SAVAGE Published: October 10, 2008 WASHINGTON — They told everyone this was going to happen, no one listened, and now see?As column after column of black Lincoln Town Cars disgorged international finance officials onto the sidewalk in front of World Bank headquarters on Friday, a raggedy group of about 20 free-market protesters gathered across the street to express their sadness — and in some cases, glee — over the global economic catastrophe that some said had proved them right. *snip* For many of the...

MORE SHADY ISSUES FROM CAMP BARACK October 9, 2008 by Rick Roberts  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!! There are FAR too many shady issues surrounding Barack Obama; his associations go far enough. Alas, he continues to get a free pass from the lamestream media. Obama is entrenched in history with Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, (ACORN). That SHOULD be enough to send up a red flag.But what doesn’t seem to be widely known is the fact that this group is an extreme leftist organization.Their demonstration tactics are notoriously close to that of radical anti-war...

TOP OBAMA CAMPAIGN FINANCIER WORKING WITH STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM TO UNDERMINE U.S.by Kristinn Taylor, Friday, October 10, 2008Author's note: It is commonly known that political visitors to totalitarian nations are only let in those nations if the visit serves the purposes of that government, the visitors are accompanied by minders and are monitored at all times and that the government facilitates propaganda events during the visits.The following article is heavily documented with supporting links. The story it tells is very troubling for our nation. It is a story our news media refuses to investigate and report. Please forward this...

This is arguably the best time of year to FReep; the weather is not too hot, not too cold, it's just right. While thinking of this I couldn't help but to think of the fable of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. For some reason I did a search for it on the Internet and wouldn't you know turned up something called the Goldilocks Phenomenon? You can thank me for this knowledge later. On with the AAR. Cars arrived right at 6:30 and we started to get set up. I had on a short sleeve shirt and wouldn't need a jacket...

Lehman chief on hot seat Fuld grilled on bankrupt firm's bonus plans worth millions By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS Associated Press Oct. 6, 2008, 10:47PM WASHINGTON — The now-bankrupt investment bank Lehman Bros. arranged millions in bonuses for fired executives as it pleaded for a federal lifeline, lawmakers learned Monday, as Congress began investigating what went so wrong on Wall Street to prompt a $700 billion government bailout.The first in a series of congressional hearings on the roots of the financial meltdown yielded few major revelations about Lehman's collapse, and none about why government officials, as they scrambled to avert...
