Obama Hearts Code Pink
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 9:12 AM
Free Republic's Kristinn Taylor has an extensive write-up of Barack Obama's close relationship with the radical Code Pink founder Jodi Evans up HERE.

It's a very well-researched item. Definitely good weekend reading that you won't find anywhere else.

Here's the beginning:

A founding member of the campaign finance team of Democratic presidential nominee Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has been working with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine the United States in the global war on terror since at least February, 2003.

Jodie Evans, co-founder of the leftist anti-American group Code Pink, has documented ties to governments on the State Department’s list of current and former state sponsors of terrorism including Iran, Cuba, Syria and the former Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein. She also has endorsed and worked with the so-called Iraqi resistance that has killed over three thousand American soldiers and thousands of free Iraqis.

Evans is listed on the official Obama website as a bundler of between $50,000 and $100,000 in contributions. According to FEC reports, the official Obama website and news accounts, Evans has personally contributed over $40,000 to the Obama campaign—$4600 to Obama for America and around $36,000 to the Obama Victory Fund.

Evans served as a co-host for Obama’s first Hollywood fundraiser right after he announced his long-shot bid for the presidency in February 2007, just weeks after she returned from Cuba where she and Code Pink worked with the Castro government to protest the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo. Evans and Code Pink, who market themselves as feminists and human rights activists, blew off the Ladies in White, a Cuban human rights group that asked the delegation Evans led to inspect Cuban prisons where democracy advocates were being held by the Castro government.

Wow.. this is a shocker

Someone on another site wondered whether O'Bomba has any associates who are NOT communists. I've never seen anything like this current election. We're basically looking at a marxist coup. I hate to say it, but I think we're headed for civil war. In fact, as my friend likes to say, we're already in one. The shooting just hasn't started yet.

I'm really pissed at the GOP for failing us SO badly that a miscreant like Barry O'Bomba and his cronies actually have a good chance of taking control of The United States government. In their wildest fantasies I doubt if any of them really believed it could actually happen.

Thanks GOP.

Wondering...

If this is true, then I have to wonder why the Justice Department has not arrested her, brought her to trial, or simply shipped her off quietly to Gitmo.

Surely such conduct would be indicative of treason and if evidence were available, she could easily be brought to trial, indicted, and convicted in a Federal court?

Wondering..

Our justice system is hamstrung by political correctness and a lack of courage to enforce the laws for fear of being branded "racist", "homophobic", "jingoistic", "hypocritical"...

You get the idea.

Nonsense.

If there were actual evidence of a crime by a lefty agitator, especially of aiding and abetting known enemies of America, it would be absurd to think that the Justice Department would sit on its hands or the Bush administration to sit on its hands when it knows it could easily disgrace the entire anti-war movement with the treasonous actions of one high profile person.

If it doesn't have the evidence, then this is either more hot air from the blogosphere, mere unprovable allegations, or the people running the Justice Department are utter incompetents.

She may be a dirty hippie, but if you want me to brand someone a traitor, you best have enough evidence that will convict her in a court of law.

Groups
Code Pink; ACORN; Weathermen; Radical extremists galore; Socialists; Marxists; Yeah, that sounds like someone who could be president would be associated with or just hang with.

Code Pink
Any chance that the "angry, bigoted" voters reported on at the McCain/Palin rallies are plants provided by the media? If it looks like Code Stink, and it smells like Code Stink . . .?

Fringe-y lizard brain
Now Freepers are piling on the who-can-we-pin-to-Obama game. Now you're tapping into the lunatic fringe pool for ideas. Whew. It's gettin' really stupid now.

You have to admit
Obama seems to have a lot of rotten apples in his basket of friends.

Obama the empty suit
If you ever have vetted Obama you will find that there is an empty suit lots of ideas only after his advisors, which reminds me of the movie with Robert Redford, plant them called " The Candidate"
Now the people that are voting for our empty suit evidently have empty heads if the man has done nothing in his long career as a public worker then what are they voting for. The must think that the gravy train will stop by their house and drop off the trinkets that he is promising everyone, if you can do some basic math you will see that the budget will not support his plans.
In the picture The Candidate when Redford wins the election his manager finds him in a office with his head buried in his hands, his manager speaks out " be happy we just won" and Redford replies " Yep, Now what do we do " That’s the Obama problem win the election and then figure out what to do lol.
