Code Pinko Medea Benjamin Flees When Confronted by Doctor Raoul at Dover AFB

Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, a leader of the so-called anti-war movement, fled the scene when Doctor Raoul confronted her on her pro-communist background today at an anti-war rally outside Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The rally, attended by about three hundred people, was being held to highlight the Pentagon's long-standing policy of not allowing media coverage of the return of fallen American servicemen and women.

Doctor Raoul, sans sign or costume, stood across a six lane highway from the rally and addressed them using a portable PA system. He asked the group, which included Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) and some military family members who are against the war on terrorism, why they were standing with those who support the killers of their children serving overseas. Raoul explained how the groups there today stand with A.N.S.W.E.R. and its statement giving "unconditional support" to what they call the "Iraq anti-colonial resistance."

Labor activists Nancy Lessin and Charlie Richardson, the husband and wife duo credited with founding Military Families Speak Out, tried to bully Raoul from speaking out, accusing him of being "disrespectful."

Others walked over and complained Raoul was "disrupting" the protest. Raoul told them to take it up with Medea, pointing out that Medea and her group, Code Pink, have no problem disrupting meetings while this was a public gathering. A while later, Medea Benjamin dragged a military mother across the six lane highway to have her challenge Raoul. A crowd of about thirty protesters formed around them. The mother snarled, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

Raoul replied he was a military family member who was against those supporting the thugs trying to kill our soldiers. He asked her if she knew who she was standing with, explaining again their communist pedigree and phony peace agenda. He repeated his message about A.N.S.W.E.R.'s statement giving their "unconditional support" to what they call the "Iraq anti-colonial resistance."

The woman said, "They're good people. I'd march with them anytime and I'll march with them again."

Raoul turned his attention to the woman's puppetmaster, Medea Benjamin. "Medea," he said, "You lived in Cuba. You wrote for a Cuban newspaper."

Medea interrupted, saying, "That's not about that here."

Raoul continued, "You wrote a book called Cuba, Thoughts about Revolution, by Medea Benjamin. The book can be found on Amazon. C'mon, Medea, what is it? Are you a peace activist or are you a revolutionary.

Medea took off without answering.

The crowd remained and closed in on Raoul. A state trooper intervened and told the protesters to back off, which they did. The media was there for the confrontation with Medea. Let's see what they choose to report.

[Doctor Raoul]

Thanks, I'll keep the info you mentioned about the local CBS affilaite being fair. That's all you really can ask for. The media is supposed to be a check and balance on the power of government. When they takes sides, they're not doing their duty.

The police in Fayetteville are never gonna let us that close, I'm sure. :-(

Doc, you gotta have big hairy wavo's. You get my vote for king of the day.

Hey,
I dont have the courage or the articulation of this brave gentleman. But I do have a 7 passenger minivan, and I will happily drive to New York City to attend the Republican Convention. Just let me know where and when to be there and I will drive anyone who needs a ride up to van capacity. We can form a chain of support around the garden.

[Doctor Raoul]

Hey I was on my side of the highway. Medea had this woman by the arm and dragged her across the six lane highway.

Here's the ANSWER brochure that has the "Pledge Unconditional Support To Iraq's Anti-Colonial Resistance" stuff in it.

Sue Niederer is marching with Lessin's group, who were given an honored spot at the head of the ANSWER March back on October 25th.

Hey Niederer, they people you march with have taken a side in this war and it's the side that killed your son.

My son spent 10 months in Mosul, even got to go throw a 'house warming' party for the brothers Hussein. On December 7, he was pulled off his Humvee at the last miniute to do riot control. A few moments later, the Humvee was hit with an IED and his best friend was killed. He consideres these 'pacifist' to be comrades with the slug that murdered his friend.

These same leftists are going to demonstrate outside Walter Reed Hospital (where Iraq war wounded are) at 9 am, Monday March 15 and at the White House at around 2 pm that afternoon.

Please help us peacefully counter-protest those who would undermine the sacrifices of our wounded troops at Walter Reed, as well as those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Click here to see the thread for details.

Protesters honor discuss Iraq casualties, demand end to war

Outrageous that AP says these leftists are "honoring" the war dead. Instead, the leftists are saying that the sacrifice was misguided and a waste.

The leftists are using the war dead (and some misguided family members) to cynically advance their political agenda.

Above is a fair headline. Below is a truthful, but less balanced title.

Protesters exploit Iraq casualties, demand U.S. abandon Iraq to Terrorists and Baathists

[Doctor Raoul]

How's this for left wing media bias?

Checking "http://news.google.com" for the first few words of the AP story, you'll get back 42 hits. Look for just "Raul Deming" and you'll see that the local editors have deleted any reference to someone who showed up and stated an opinion that this protest encouraged the Baath Party holdouts to kill more soldiers.

Yeah, there's no left bias in the media......NOT!

I love to hear liberal whining, when their own tactics are thrown back in their faces.

[Doctor Raoul]

Click here and read down a bit, looking for Nancy Lessin. That's the woman leading the charge and showing off the grieving familiies like prize ponies.

She just stood there in shock.

[Paul Atreides]

She, like all liberals, is just a petty little despot, waiting to be born.

If we had any such honor on FR, I would bestow upon you a knighthood, sir!

Doctor Raoul,

Thank you for all that you do.

I am proud of you.

[Doctor Raoul]

Well you probably won't see that because at the time I was talking about one of the leaders, Medea Benjamin and her book, "Cuba, Thoughts About Revolution". They don't want that out there.

[Trteamer]

Way to go guys!!

Never let up, you stole their thunder again.

[bluefish]

Nice work Doctor. Brave souls like you keep my faith in this country alive.

[L_Von_Mises]

Great Job!!!

I'm convinced that the truth was heard by some of the pawns of Medea and her ilk. Hopefully they will take some time into looking into who they are hitching their wagons to. Based on her reaction she is probably worrying that that may happen. Keep up the good work!
