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.

Good job Raoul!!!

The price of living in an open society is that scoundrels like this are allowed to vent their hatred for the same system that protects them and that they protest against and that guarantees their freedom to do so.

There will come a day that they will regret their acts.

God have mercy on their souls.

Great! Thanks, Doctor. Any video for Fox News?

Excellent, Raoul. Ms. Medea is a communist, but, as she says, it's not about that. Oh yes it is.

[hellinahandcart]

You're amazing. First time I've smiled today...

[STARWISE]

Way to go, Dr.!!!! Your feistiness knows no bounds. God love ya!!! Never stop .. and thank you, Kristinn, for all you do and your on-the-scene reporting.

Second that!

Exposure to their stances is what will defeat these _______
(insert adjectives and nouns here!)

The refrain from the song, "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide baby" kept running through my head!

[hellinahandcart]

some pings, pretty please?

[dagnabbit]

Way to go!

I stand in awe -- thank you for pointing out the truth and standing up to the crowd of protesters who have dead and wounded friends and relatives, but will still march with a group supporting those who are killing and maiming their sons and daughters.

Medea and her crowd will be making a mockery of the sacrifices of our troops tomorrow morning at Walter Reed Army Hospital and then gathering in DC to march on the White House and perform acts of civil disobedience.

Wonderful work, Doctor Raoul!!!

You are "An Army of One," and you scored a direct hit today.

I owe you a huge hug when next we meet.

Dr. Raoul is to be commended.

It sounds to me that Dr. Raoul took a page out of your book, kristinn. I remember my share of the many days that you put your voice in a public place to challenge the rot in the White House, to the Americans taking part in tours of "our national house."

It takes both courage and commitment to stand up in public and give voice to the plain unvarished truth. The D.C. Chapter of FR seems to breed that sort of ability. Hats off to Dr. Raoul for a fine example on this occasion.
