The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money.
Jodie Evans, a Code Pink leader, gathered at least $50,000 from friends and associates and donated it to Obama’s presidential campaign, according to information compiled by the nonpartisan watchdog group, Public Citizen.
Evans and her son, a student who lives at her Southern California address, each also gave the maximum individual allowable donation of $2,300 to Obama’s campaign.
The donations have raised questions about Obama’s association with the more radical elements of his base. Code Pink has harassed, vandalized and impeded military recruiters across the United States in a campaign it calls “counter-recruitment.” The group also gave $600,000 to the families of Iraqi terrorists in Fallujah, whom it called “insurgents” fighting for their homes.
Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, Move America Forward,
Military Families Voice of Victory, The Band of Mothers and FreeRepublic.com, issued a statement this week saying Obama should cut ties to his radical bundler.
"Barack Obama's judgment to be commander-in-chief is seriously in question because of his association with Code Pink's Jodie Evans and her war against the American military,” the groups said in a joint statement. "If Sen. Obama wants to earn the trust of the American people to send their sons and daughters in harm's way, he should immediately renounce Evans and return all contributions associated with her."
Obama’s campaign did not respond to repeated attempts to get comment on the latest controversy to hit his campaign.
“As somebody who has stood toe-to-toe with Code Pink, I am sickened that Senator Obama would accept large donations from the leader of the hateful, anti-American group,” said Melanie Morgan, chairman of Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop group.
Code Pink has also waged a campaign of psychological warfare against
America's wounded warriors and their families by protesting at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center, targeting them with signs bearing messages such as
“Maimed for a lie” and “Enlist here and die for Halliburton,” the joint statement from pro-troops groups said.
The rest can be read at Human Events along with the comments.
And now these huge campaign donations from an anti-American, anti-military group of thugs just furthers the point that BO will have a lot of pay-back should he ever get to the white house. Change?...seems like the same old political song and dance to me.
Code Pinkos for Barack “Larry Sinclair” Obama
That’s all?! I bundled over $40K for Fred Thompson on my own! What losers they are!
I don’t think there are a group of people I despise more than Code Pink.
The fact that Obama has accepted money from these bottom-feeding, military hating, American hating, feminazi socialists just add to the suspicion everyone has here that Obama is an American-hating leftist.
Please. Everyone do whatever you can to make sure this scumbag doesn’t get elected.
Why haven’t Medea Benjamin and the rest of the Code Pinko leadership been formally charged with treason yet?
Barack (he whose middle name must not be spoken) Obama — seems to attract friends from all the wrong places...
A “contrarian” would do well to look at Obama and his friends and come to the correct conclusion he was radio active and the “enemy”.......
All those Leftists, Marxists, Black Racists, Islamists, Welfare Leaches, Brood Mares, Illegal Aliens, La Raza, Felons, Peace at Any Price Surrender Monkeys, America haters and those white guilt suffering run of the mill Mandingo adoring sucker moms must see what they want in Obama.....
Silly me — I thought we were selecting a President of the United States of America!
A man who loved the country and the Constitution, who would champion the Bill of Rights and Defend us from ALL ENEMIES — foreign and domestic...
Obama is NOT that man..... Not even nearly!
Barack's terrorist-sympathizing fundraiser

Code Pink is protesting outside the Marine Recruiting Station in Pleasant Hill, CA. The address is at 712 Contra Costa Blvd., Pleasant Hill. If any patriots are in the area, please come and give them an earful. I got the call at 1:30 pm on Monday, April 14.
I will, on May 6. By making sure he's the DUmmie nominee.
Good question. Code Pinko has been with the enemy and makes no secret about it. I heard somewhere that they were giving money to the insurgency in Iraq.
I guess there’s no such thing as treason in this country anymore.
When is this taking place, flagwaver?
Yes they did. I believe it was in December of 2004.
From the link I posted in #8...
Code Pink's treasonous behavior on foreign soil has been equally disgusting.
The organization traveled to Iraq to give $600,000 in aid to what they called "the other side" so they could resist Coalition Forces. The "other side" is a euphemism for Islamic terrorists.
Kicked out of Pakistan after protesting the Pakistani governments efforts to combat the jihadists operating in that country...
If I am not mistaken, they went to Pakistan a couple months ago to meet with terrorists to pass on some more cash.

Thanks, will spread the word.
Drango, more information hopefully on the thread soon.
Thanks SoA! Waiting for more info.
Moreover, Fallujah’s refugees – the ones receiving Medea Benjamin's largesse – have shown marked sympathy for the “insurgents” (terrorists) in their midsts. “The mujahedeen are our sons,” said 62-year-old Umm Samir. “I would become a mujahedeen myself.” Later the native Fallujan told reporters the mutilation of four U.S. security workers was excusable. “Those people who dragged the Americans’ bodies through the streets, they certainly had had a brother or a father killed by the Americans; they had burnt hearts,” Umm averred. American troops had to stop a relief aid shipment from going into town in late November for fear it would fall into terrorist hands. Is there any assurance this most recent aid will not?She knew exactly where the money was going, and who it was going to help.
And with the blessings and help of Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman.
This woman is evil incarnate
With a strange and indefensible moral equivalency, Benjamin has asserted that defending our nation from terrorism is equivalent to terrorism itself. Next she'll be blaming women for defending themselves against rapists. As head of Global Exchange and the women's anti-war group Code Pink, she has stood on stage with all three Communist-dominated anti-war coalitions - the Workers' World Party-controlled International ANSWER, the Revolutionary Communist Party-dominated Not In Our Name coalition, and the creation of former Communist Party U.S.A. activist Leslie Cagan, the Coalition United for Peace and Justice.The above from May, 03 Front Page Mag
To sum up: Medea Benjamin, hand-in-hand with communists and a variety of other radicals, opposed our defense against al-Qaeda and their Taliban supporters. She opposed the liberation of the Iraqi people, and the overthrow of the dictator Hussein...

Thank you for the links to prove my memory has not been totally lost. ;*)
The list of radicals for Obama continues to grow.
This just shows you how stupid these women are.
Don’t they know that the ones that their supporting would be the same ones if given the chance, have them dressed head to toe in a burka? The same ones who oppress women and treat them like second-class citizens? The same ones who won’t allow women to get any kind of education or hold any authority or political position?
They (Code Pink) are either the dumbest group of feminist pigs on the planet or that they are so blinded by their hatred of the US and it’s military that they don’t care if they support a group who degrades their women as long as they’re against us.
