Founded by pro-Castro radical Media Benjamin Presented "pink slips" in the form of women's lingerie to President Bush.
Code Pink for Peace is a self-described "grassroots peace and social justice movement" formed in December 2002 to join the cadre of anti-war groups protesting against America's then-impending war in Iraq. Code Pink was founded by four experienced activists and hardcore Communists - Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Diane Wilson, and a radical Wiccan activist calling herself Starhawk. Ms. Evans is the nominal leader of the organization, which works closely with Medea Benjamin's group Global Exchange, which in turn maintains strong ties to the Communist Workers World Party (WWP). Code Pink also works hand-in-hand with United For Peace and Justice, whose leader Leslie Cagan is a longtime devotee of Fidel Castro and the Socialist Party USA. Throughout the 1990s, many of the Marxists currently working for Code Pink organized anti-free trade protests - some of them violent - and filed numerous high-profile lawsuits that forced American corporations to spend millions of dollars defending themselves.
Mocking the Bush Administration's color-coded security alerts, the "Code Pink Alert" warns that this administration poses "extreme danger to all the values of nurturing, caring, and compassion that women and loving men have held." Proclaiming that "women have been the guardians of life . . . because the men have busied themselves making war," Code Pink calls on "women around the world to rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. We call on mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters . . . and every ordinary outraged woman willing to be outrageous for peace." During one Code Pink demonstration in Washington, D.C., participants marched up the steps of the Capitol, unfurled their slogan-bearing banners, and stripped down to the dove-adorned bras and panties they wore beneath their clothes. "We're putting our bodies on the line," they shouted. "You Congress people better get some spine. We say 'Stand back, don't attack - innocent children in Iraq!'" Another popular chant was, "We don't want your oil war. Peace is what we're calling for!"
Every day for four months, Code Pink also staged all-day antiwar vigils at the White House. Moreover, it initiated a campaign that involved presenting pink slips (women's lingerie) to President Bush and other pro-war officials - a metaphor for pink slips of the paper variety, which are given to employees whose jobs are being terminated.
In 2003 Jodie Evans led a delegation of fifteen Code Pink women to Baghdad, where they met with Iraqi women for the purpose of "creat[ing] the understanding that the people of Iraq are no different than you and me." "We understand," said Evans, "the love of a mother in Iraq for her children, and the driving desire of that child for life . . . We who cherish children will not consent to their murder. Nor do we consent to the murder of their mothers, grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers, or to the deaths of our own sons and daughters in a war for oil." While in Baghdad, Evans and her companions repeatedly and publicly painted America as an unprovoked aggressor, and Iraqis as noble defenders of their invaded homeland.
In addition to scorning America's military action in Iraq, Code Pink members also condemn the racism, sexism, poverty, corporate corruption, and environmental degradation they claim are rampant in the U.S. Depicting the cost of the Iraq war as a drain on resources that would be better earmarked for other purposes, Code Pink laments that "in the United States of America, many of our elders . . . now must choose whether to buy their prescription drugs, or food. Our children's education is eroded. The air they breathe and the water they drink are polluted. Vast numbers of women and children live in poverty." The threat of distant terrorists, claims Code Pink, is insignificant when compared to the "real threats" we face every day: "the illness or ordinary accident that could plunge us into poverty, the violence on our own streets, the corporate corruption that can result in the loss of our jobs, our pensions, our security."
Apart from her duties with Code Pink, Jodie Evans also sits on the board of directors of the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), a coalition of anti-capitalist, anti-corporate environmentalist groups. Moreover, she is an advisory board member for the International Occupation Watch (IOW) center in Iraq, which Code Pink helped establish. IOW monitors potential American abuses during the reconstruction of Iraq. Implying that America's true motivation for attacking Iraq was to seize its oil fields, IOW pledges to "advocate for the Iraqis' right to control their own resources, especially oil." It further deems itself "a watchdog regarding the military occupation and U.S.-appointed government, including possible violations of human rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly." The principal organizers of IOW - Medea Benjamin and Leslie Cagan - explicitly declared that their goal in setting up headquarters in Baghdad was to thin U.S. forces by getting soldiers to declare themselves conscientious objectors.
During the last week of December 2004, Medea Benjamin announced in Amman, Jordan that Code Pink, Global Exchange, and Families for Peace would be donating a combined $600,000 in medical supplies and cash to the terrorist insurgents who were fighting American troops in Fallujah, Iraq. This news was reported by Agence France Press but was picked up by only two small news outlets. In an article dated January 1, 2005, the leftist online publication Peace and Resistance reported that Rep. Henry Waxman had written a letter addressed to the American ambassador in Amman, Jordan to help facilitate the transport of this aid through Customs. Fernando Suarez Del Solar - an antiwar activist whose son, a 20-year-old Marine, was killed in Iraq on March 27, 2003 - carried Waxman's letter. He was accompanied on the trip by other family members of soldiers who had been killed in Iraq, as well as relatives of victims who had been killed in the 9/11 attacks. Said Benjamin, "I don't know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine . . . for the families of the 'other side.' It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States . . . opposed to the unjust nature of this war. This is the positive face of the American people which we would like to show . . . so that we are not looked at with animosity but with love. Our hearts go out to the people of Fallujah and to all the Iraqi people."
For much of 2005, Code Pink for Peace staged weekly protests outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where many U.S. soldiers wounded in combat are treated, some of them receiving prosthetic limbs. Code Pink's intent was to condemn America's involvement in the Iraq War, and to charge the Bush administration with having led the U.S. to battle on the pretext of a lie -- that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. One Code Pink sign indicated that soldiers were being sent overseas to "die for a lie."
Code Pink was a Cosponsoring Organization of the April 25, 2004 "March for Women's Lives" held in Washington, D.C., a rally that drew more than a million demonstrators advocating that women be granted unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortions at any stage of pregnancy.
Code Pink also endorsed the Civil Liberties Restoration Act (CLRA) of 2004, which was introduced by Democratic Senators Ted Kennedy, Patrick Leahy, Russell Feingold, Richard Durbin, and Jon Corzine, and Democratic Representatives Howard Berman and William Delahunt. The CLRA was designed to roll back, in the name of protecting civil liberties, vital national-security policies that had been adopted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In 2004, Code Pink was a signatory - along with more than 200 other leftwing groups - to a letter opposing Senate Resolution 408. The letter was sent to members of the U.S. Senate, exhorting them to vote "No" on Resolution 408; that Resolution took the position that the anti-terrorist security fence that Israel was building in the West Bank was legal and justified. In Code Pink's view, however, the security barrier was an illegal "apartheid wall" that violated the civil and human rights of Palestinians.
Code Pink also runs an aggressive Counter-Recruitment campaign aimed at dissuading young men and women from joining the military. Says Code Pink: "The military is desperate for young people to fight in Iraq and they are doing everything they can to pull in young people: promising them a college education, big cash bonuses, and trying to guarantee that new enlistees won't get sent to the Middle East. Recruiters roam the halls of high schools luring students into conversation with free goods, rock climbing walls, war simulation video games, and, worst of all, fancy Hummers. Join CODEPINK and the national counter-recruitment movement in standing up to these warmongers and liars. Stop the next war now by stopping the next generation from becoming cannon fodder in this illegal and immoral war! . . . CODEPINK is part of a national coalition led by the Ruckus Society that is organizing regional counter-recruitment camps for high school and college students planned for late summer and early fall of this year. These camps will provide young people with the resources, practical trainings, and networks they need to successfully launch (or continue) counter-recruitment campaigns on their campuses when the new school year starts."
Code Pink now consists of more than 90 chapters in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. It is a member organization of the Abolition 2000 and United for Peace and Justice anti-war coalitions, and a member of the National Council of Women's Organizations.
Not me.
I would advise her to dissociate herself from Code Pinko as soon as possible. It tends to be bad for a girl's looks.
Whoever it was they had the same data. Spoke about Media Benjamin and how she is connected with some outfit responsible for the death of 4 Marines.
I googled a couple of those names, Lady Gillette ain't on their shopping lists.
I think I'm gonna have to shave my monitor now.
Here was the one mentioned on Hannity --- Nidia Diaz, Member of the Central American Parliament, El Salvador
The caller in question was referring to Nidia Diaz, former commander of the El Salvadoran guerilla group FMLN. Not suprising to see her name associated with like minded fellow travellers.
Ah! Mrs. Adam Shapiro!
Haven't heard much from those two lovebirds since the siege of Arafat's compound.
These "folks" represent a small percentage of American public opinion. Where's Barney Frank on the list?

No surprise on that one.
Here's a little info on Nidia Diaz...
Nidia Diaz of the FMLN in El Salvador, was previously a guerrilla commander in the armed struggle against the US backed military right wing dictatorship in that country and through this struggle gave the people hope and courage to win back the control of their country.
When elections were held in the 1990s, the FMLN won enough seats to become a major force for social and political change and for defending the rights and the interests of ordinary and working class Salvadoreans.
They have spoken out on the privatisation of state run industries and infrastructure and the Dollarisation of the Salvadorean economy. In March 2004, the FMLN will have their best opportunity yet to win sufficient seats to be able to form a government in their own right.

That Diaz’s group had claimed responsibility for the murders of four U.S. Marines and nine civilians two months before was apparently not an issue for Brim. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=6878
The FMLN also reverted to classic guerrilla tactics and increased its use of land mines, which it called "popular armament." In mid-1985 the FMLN, in addition to kidnapping or assassinating numerous military and government officials, began kidnapping and assassinating mayors and burning their offices. It also targeted United States military personnel for assassination. In June 1985, PRTC terrorists assassinated four off-duty United States embassy Marine guards at a sidewalk cafe in San Salvador in a massacre that also left nine civilians, including two United States businessmen, dead and fifteen others wounded. According to the FMLN high command, the chief purpose of its raid on the army's basic training center in eastern La Union Department in October 1985 was to kill or capture United States soldiers serving there.
