"Finally, a member of Congress has announced a laudable plan to do something about the abusive behavior of demonstrators of the anti-war left. Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has introduced legislation to deal with what he has described as “a growing number of our fellow citizens [who] are abusing their right of free expression through vandalism and violent protest aimed at military recruiters and those who wish to serve.”" Finally someone talking serious about Code Pink's anarchical activities. There are a lot more examples of Code Pink's crimes then noted in the article....

The Chronicle reports:  Berkeley is finding that having its own foreign policy isn’t...

Department monitors increasingly raucous rallies at Marine center BERKELEY — In the last six weeks, the city of Berkeley has spent more than $210,000 on police overtime to try and keep the peace during protests at the U.S. Marine Corps recruiting center and Old City Hall, a police official said Thursday. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Mary Kusmiss said police department overtime from Feb. 12 to March 22 was $210,814.13. The city spent roughly $93,000 Feb. 12 during an all-day protest at Old City Hall that drew about 2,000 anti-war protestors and military supporters, she said. By comparison, the 186-officer department...

In checking my emails tonight, I had a message from my friend, the mole, with this package of photos taken of Code Pink's madams during their recent streetwalking activities in our nation's capital. I thought I'd share them with you, and invite your creative captions, insults, photoshopping, etc.Have fun!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Police used a power saw to cut a chain that was binding anti-war protesters together in San Francisco and more than 140 people were arrested Wednesday during rallies to mark the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The rallies, which drew hundreds to the city's busy financial district, were mostly peaceful, though some demonstrators threw glass Christmas ornaments filled with paint at police, said Sgt. Steve Mannina, a San Francisco police spokesman. About 3,000 people gathered at Civic Center Plaza for speeches and a bullhorn-happy march through the misty chill into the Mission District. Shouting...

You guys won’t believe the scene at the National Press Club today. We at Move America Forward were releasing our investigative report on the nationwide plague of attacks against military recruiting centers. (The Sedition Report) Congressman John Carter (co-sponsor of the Semper Fi Act) was there speaking. So too was Debbie Lee, mother of the 1st Navy Seal killed in Iraq. Then, midway through the news conference, members of Code Pink, International ANSWER and Global Exchange start heckling, screaming, yelling. They said our claims of improper actions by anti-war radicals were all lies, that the anti-military activists have been nothing...

BERKELEY -- Anti-war protesters today are staging a protest and blocking the entrance to the U.S. Marine recruiting station on Shattuck Avenue, which has served the center of a controversy attracting national media attention to the city. Following is a running log of the day's events: 12 p.m. The number of protesters in front of the recruiting station has swelled slightly to 50, and a sound system is blaring music to the dismay of local businesses. No recruiting staff have been seen at the station, but the coming Presidents Day holiday might have something to do with that. The protest...

BERKELEY -- Citing the absence of U.S. Marine recruiters at their Shattuck Avenue station this morning, anti-war protesters looking to keep up the momentum of this past week's demonstrations claimed victory. Anti-war groups -- including World Can't Wait, Code Pink, the ANSWER Coalition and Veterans for Peace -- descended upon the station to prevent people from entering. Some protesters said they planned to chain themselves to the door. But the 20 or so protesters who showed up around dawn have yet to see a single recruiter. "If this is all it takes to shut down the Marine recruiting center, we've...

The Berkeley City Council attempted to make nice with U.S. Marines recruiters Wednesday morning by taking back a letter it planned to send calling the Corps "uninvited and unwelcome intruders" in the city. But a motion to formally apologize failed. Instead the City Council with a 7-2 vote at 1 a.m. sought to clarify one of its Jan. 29 Marines motions with new language that recognizes "the recruiters' right to locate in our city and the right of others to protest or support their presence." The new statement also said the council opposes "the recruitment of our young people into...

Berkeley is bracing to outdo even itself Tuesday. The City Council chambers will be the focus of all-day protests, and not just from the usual assortment of liberal activists. Pro-military groups will also be out in force as the famously left-leaning body considers whether to rescind its statement Jan. 29 calling the U.S. Marines and their Shattuck Avenue recruiting station "uninvited and unwelcome intruders." The 6-3 vote on that item caused a nationwide backlash against the city, prompting Republicans in Washington and Sacramento to introduce legislation to take away money for things like school lunches and police communications equipment. Just...

Code Pink has it's Pink Panties in a Twist over Berkeley Boycott Written by Melanie Morgan    Sunday, 03 February 2008 Medea Benjamin (co-founded of Code Pinko) forwarded to me her nasty response to Karl G. who wrote that his company is now boycotting Berkeley.First, the snarky, ugly comments of Benjamin (remember, she sent over $600,000 to the families of terrorists who have murdered our troops.)If you are so proud of your action, Karl, then why don’t  you sign your last name or say what your business is? Perhaps you’re worried that the IRS might ask why you spent so much...

Emboldened by this week's show of support by the Berkeley City Council, anti-war protesters on Thursday cranked up their noisy effort to throw the U.S. Marine Corps recruiters out of town, but in the pounding rain it was hard to tell who won the figurative battle of wills. On one hand, the protesters mustered one of their biggest crowds yet - 40 people - to yell "Drive out the Bush regime" and other slogans outside the Marines' recruiting station on Shattuck Avenue. Hundreds of motorists honked in support as they passed. On the other hand, there was nobody working at...

Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go. That's the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 8-1 Tuesday night to tell the Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders." In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines, and officially encouraged the women's peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station....

First there was the menacing claim broadcast on Spanish-language television that "someone might crack your head like a coconut." Next came three death threats. Finally, as the peace loonies recently piloted their Dodge Ram pickup onto SW Eighth Street, an angry crowd composed mostly of Cuban exiles — spitting and wielding makeshift weapons — ripped away a banner and chased them for blocks. "It was mayhem," says 50-year-old peacenik Tighe Barry. "I took a right-hand turn, and there were hundreds of crazy people rushing us with poles that had points at the end."
