Adam Kokesh, candidate for the Republican nomination for the US House of Representatives from the Third District of New Mexico, is doing his best to deceive the electorate. He portrays himself as a libertarian conservative, but he is neither libertarian nor conservative (unless he reinvents himself again). Most egregiously, he is attempting to portray himself as a patriotic anti-war/anti-military veteran in a manner reminiscent of John Kerry and Vietnam Veterans against the War (VVAW), in which Kerry tarnished the valor of his brothers-in-arms in order to advance his political career. As did VVAW, Kokesh's Iraq Veterans against the War (IVAW)...

The following statement was prepared by Gathering of Eagles concerning Adam Kokesh. Kokesh is running for office in New Mexico. It is my belief that Adam Kokesh gave aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. That means he is a traitor. And he is running for election as a GOP candidate in New Mexico. God help our nation.

Fox News and Judge Andrew Napolitano are shamelessly promoting a wartime traitor, Adam Kokesh of the communist front group Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), as a Republican candidate for Congress.For the second time in recent months, Judge Napolitano has had Kokesh on his Fox News show, Freedom Watch, for a softball interview about Kokesh's Republican primary bid to represent New Mexico's 3rd District in the U.S. House of Representatives.There is no mention by Napolitano about Kokesh's involvement with terrorist supporting groups like IVAW and Code Pink, nor did Napolitano mention Kokesh's repeated disciplinary actions in the Marines that resulted...

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Congressman Ron Paul today endorsed Adam Kokesh, Republican candidate for Congress in New Mexico’s third district. “As a fellow Veteran, Adam understands the many challenges facing our brave men and women in Uniform and the steps we must take to strengthen our national defense.” Said Dr. Paul, “Adam Kokesh has been a tremendous supporter of mine. Now, it is time for me to support him. “As a fellow Veteran, Adam understands the many challenges facing our brave men and women in Uniform and the steps we must take to strengthen our national defense. “Adam Kokesh has dedicated...

ALBANY — Angered by the defeat last year of a bill that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry, a group of well-financed gay rights advocates has started a political action committee to take aim at state senators who have opposed same-sex marriage. In total, the political action committee, called Fight Back New York, is prepared to raise and spend in the high six figures range in the State Senate races this year, according to people involved with the committee. Financing and organization will come, in part, from some of the most politically sophisticated and financially powerful gay rights advocates...

The rumors started about an hour before Glenn Beck was scheduled to speak, Sarah Palin was going to show up to introduce Beck. There was no way that was going to happen, Palin was not going to do a Cameo, it just didn't make sense. Glenn Beck didn't bring Palin along, but he did bring his "A" game (and his blackboard) as CPAC 2010 ended with a presentation that left the audience electrified and ready to act. Even before he arrived Beck's presence was in the Blogger's lounge. In recognition of the fact that his opinions are not too popular...

What Is it with Senator "Why The Long Face John" Kerry? When it comes to the war on terrorism, he's been wrong at every step along the road (well except for maybe the time he voted for funding the troops after he voted against it).When Kerry is on that road to fight terror he is usually traveling in reverse. Part of the problem is that Kerry tends to look at terrorism as a crime rather than an act of war. In a 2004 appearance on Fox news, Kerry spoke about his book The New War: He said, "In that book,...

Massachusetts senior U.S. Senator John Kerry provided a letter on Senate stationery that supported constituents who participated in last December’s anti-Israel, pro-Hamas Gaza Freedom March, led by President Barack Obama ally Code Pink. Democrat Representative Andre Carson of Indiana’s 7th District also provided a letter of support for participants in the so-called Gaza Freedom March. Kerry is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was the Democratic Party’s 2004 presidential nominee. In the letter, Kerry wrote that his staff met with the Massachusetts delegation before they left, and his staff would be briefed about the trip upon their return....

WASHINGTON – Rep. John Murtha has been hospitalized in intensive care stemming from complications related to gallbladder surgery. Spokesman Matt Mazonkey says the 77-year-old Pennsylvania congressman underwent scheduled surgery last week and is currently at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington. Murtha was also hospitalized in December with gallbladder problems. The 19-term Democrat was the first Vietnam veteran to serve in Congress. He leads the powerful House Appropriations subcommittee on defense spending.

Obama and terrorist support group Code Pink announced today they are shutting down their Washington, D.C. headquarters due to lack of interest by their fellow leftists in protesting the Democrat-run Congress and the Obama administration.Code Pink has been playing the inside-outside game of political theater since Obama was inaugurated. While making a show of protesting his administration, Code Pink has been meeting with Obama and working with the White House. Since March 2007, the group has maintained its D.C. headquarters in a five bedroom row house in a residential neighborbood on Capitol Hill. The group was protected by the D.C....

Code Pink members became known during the Bush Administration as confrontational anti-war protestors, but the group is actually worse than that. Code Pink’s leadership has aligned with almost every tyrannical force opposing the U.S., from Chavez to Ahmadinejad to Hamas to Iraq insurgents. Code Pink is acting more like the ambassador for enemies of the free world than an advocate for peace. Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King over at BigGovernment.com are doing an excellent job chronicling the outrageous activities of Code Pink and its leadership over the years. Most recently, Code Pink has organized a “Gaza Freedom March” to...

Oh the shame of it all. Last month 1,300 pro-Palestinian activists from the US and Europe came to the region in the name of peace and social justice to demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Led by the self-declared feminist, antiwar group Code Pink, the demonstrators' plan was to enter Gaza from the Egyptian border at Rafah and deliver "humanitarian aid" to the Hamas terrorist organization.

A 75-year-old greengrocer is shot dead in front of his house. The abduction of a Christian female student is still shrouded in mystery. A wave of violence that includes attacks against churches, abductions and targeted killings of Christians is trying to force them into a mass exodus. Mosul (AsiaNews) – Mosul's Christian community has been the victim of another targeted killing. Hikmat Sleiman, a 75-year-old greengrocer, was killed yesterday. His death follows a wave of violence against Iraqi Christians that included a number of attacks over the past few weeks against churches and convents as well as abductions and execution-style...

Two more nights braved by FReepers out guarding the entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, keeping the moonbats at bay! Not that the Code Pink moonbats are much of a problem anymore. They only managed three people on the second night. More, the Code Pink leaders long since abandoned their own people and haven't been seen for two years or more. It's now a union operation. We had a relatively big snow storm at the end of December but fortunately most of that's gone. Now it's just... chilly. Mid to low 20's isn't so bad but the wind was...

Click here to read earlier articles.]How deep are the ties between the so-called antiwar group Code Pink and the terrorist group Hamas?  Deep enough that Hamas guaranteed Code Pink’s safety when the group led an international delegation of anti-Israel leftists to Gaza in late December for the ‘Gaza Freedom March.’Code Pink claims to have delivered “tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid” to Hamas-controlled Gaza to protest a blockade of the terrorist enclave by...

I'm scheduled to be on the G. Gordon Liddy Show on the Radio America network today at 12:30 p.m. EST.I'll be talking about recent articles I've written at Free Republic like the one this morning about the Huffington Post covering up Bill Clinton's adultery during the 2008 campaign. I'll also be covering the series of articles co-written with Andrea Shea King at Big Government about Obama's ties to Jodie Evans, Code Pink and various terrorist groups. Today's article is about Hamas guaranteeing Code Pink's safety in Gaza.You can listen live online by clicking here and then selecting "The G-Man".

How deep are the ties between the so-called antiwar group Code Pink and the terrorist group Hamas? Deep enough that Hamas guaranteed Code Pink’s safety when the group led an international delegation of anti-Israel leftists to Gaza in late December for the ‘Gaza Freedom March.’ Code Pink claims to have delivered “tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid” to Hamas-controlled Gaza to protest a blockade of the terrorist enclave by the civilized world.Before Code Pink departed for Egypt where the march was based, co-founder Medea Benjamin told the Western Massachusetts publication The Reminder that Hamas “has pledged to ensure...

The obviously insane leftists of Code Pink have clearly sided with the enemy, as they have placed a banner ad on the official site of the Muslim Brotherhood. If you go to the Muslim Brotherhood’s site, you will see this banner ad in the middle of the page. Clicking on it, will bring you to Code Pink’s “Woman Say NO To War” page. Which is about the Israel-Palestine conflict and we all know who Code Pink supports there.

Fresh on the heels of their Hamas-protected trip to Gaza, the so-called feminist, American antiwar group Code Pink, co-founded by top Obama funder Jodie Evans, is running banner advertisements on the English language version of the official Web site of a terrorist sympathizing group, the Muslim Brotherhood, one of which invites the Muslim Brotherhood to “join us in cleansing our country.” The ad, titled “Arrest the War Criminals” with a subhead that contains the invitation to “join us in cleansing our country” links back to a Code Pink site that calls for the kidnapping of former President George W. Bush,...
