As the Left continues its hysteria over the misrepresentation of Rush Limbaugh's remarks, one wonders when they will denounce Code Pink. In Berkeley, the anti-war contingent defaced a Marine recruiting office, calling Marines predators on children and accusing them of murdering them (via Michelle Malkin and Gateway Pundit):
Marine Captain Richard Lund recruits college students and graduates as candidates for officer positions in the marines. But carrying out that job in Berkeley is not always an easy task.
He has listened to a variety of complaints from members of the anti-war group Code Pink in recent weeks.
"We are so shocked and horrified that the Marines have come to Berkeley to prey on our children," said Zanne Joi, a Code Pink member.
Last week, the Code Pink group protested by defacing the recruiting center and calling the recruiters liars.
So Rush Limbaugh supposedly calls dissenting soldiers "phony" -- he didn't, but let's run with this -- and the Left screeches about dishonoring the troops. How about calling them predators, murderers, and liars? Does that count as besmirching the troops? Will Media Matters and Harry Reid call for Code Pink to be shut down, and will Wes Clark demand that they have no access to military facilities?
I'll be waiting for the Left to demand an apology from Code Pink. I'll be waiting for a Senate condemnation of their slander against the Marine Corps, one of the finest institutions in this nation's history, and for whom my father-in-law flew missions in the Pacific in both World War II and the Korean War. I'll be waiting for Media Matters to demand the cessation of funding for Code Pink and its donors to thoroughly reject the organization.
I'll be waiting, but I won't hold my breath. Their silence will show the jaw-dropping hypocrisy of the Left on the Rush Limbaugh smear, posing as the defenders of military honor while their allies fling mud at the Marine Corps. I think the troops themselves can see the difference in support between Rush and Code Pink. Certainly, the Marines at the Berkeley recruiting office have recognized it.
UPDATE: My former co-blogger Dafydd at Big Lizards has one of his traditionally comprehensive posts on this topic, and it's well worth the read, as always.
LOL! When pigs fly, maybe.

When the enemy marches into America, maybe we should just let them have Berkeley.
By spitting on them. :D
Great idea... we can carpet bomb them when they seize the city. What do you think?

It would help if Fox would expose this...I’d like to see O’Reilly or Hannity do a story on this one!
wimmin====woMEN
This probably isn’t a misspelling it is a female who does not want “men” as part of the word “women”
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Sounds like most of the population of Berkeley/San Francisco etc have more loyalty to our enemies than they do to America, so they won’t mind being invaded. We’ll see how the feminazis like it when they must adhere to rules saying they are subservient to men!
As long as these crazed lefties hate America and the military so much, I say pull all the service facilities out of there and move the brave military people to areas where people still care about the threat to our country.
Zanne darling, you will be screaming for the Marines to bail out your sorry ass when the Big One hits!
“Now that’s final. :o)”
Yes daddy. :)
Hmmmmm ..?? Saying they support the troops but not the war is like saying they support the Yankees but they hope the Yankes lose the world series.
It’s a PHONY argument!!
I agree 100%... but in addition... Shut off all Federal dollars to bezerkley and san fruitcisco... and any other University or city that exhibits anti-Military or anti-American action or activities.

Her condescension knows no bounds. The most charitable way to describe her is that she suffers from HICS (head in concrete syndrome). She claimed (to a female friend of mine) that US troops are over in Iraq for two reasons. Number One, of course, is oil. The Number Two reason she gave was so that GI's could rape Iraqi women, as illogical as that is.
Arguing with a brick wall would have been productive. Tens of kilograms of random useless statistics she gave. And, when I shot down her theory of how more bombs dropped on a country retards it's economic progress (Germany, Japan, England, and South Korea aside), she ignored me.
Arrogant, condescending, male-hating [expletive deleted].
Typical of their forces.
The best way to pi$$ of a liberal is to remind that that your vote cancels out theres no matter how loud they yell. (I use this a lot with my friends who do not see it the way I do) Also encourage them to post their monologue rants on youtube so it makes it easier for you to show your friends what a "typical" RAT/LIB is.
Good luck and happy hunting.
