Obama bundler Jodie Evans, who co-founded the anti-American group Code Pink, said Osama bin Laden had 'valid arguments' for the 9/11 attacks, gushed over Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez and bragged about Code Pink's efforts to undermine the war in Iraq in a wide-ranging interview with radio host Paul A. Ibbetson.
Evans co-hosted Sen. Barack Obama's first Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007 and is listed on the Obama website as having bundled up to $100,000 for Obama's presidential campaign.
Evans also personally donated the maximum legal amount, $2300, to the Obama campaign--as has her unemployed student son.
Just weeks before she co-hosted the Hollywood fundraiser for Obama, Evans traveled to Cuba as a guest of the Castro regime where she protested against America.
In the interview, conducted on June 3, 2008, Evans said that America's presence in Saudi Arabia was a valid argument for al Qaeda to attack America on 9/11.
Jodie Evans:..."We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States."
Paul A. Ibbetson: "Do you think that's a valid argument?"
Evans: "Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?"
Rather than let Evans' truthful admission stand, the host asked her to confirm her agreement with bin Laden and Evans smartly backtracked to saying she didn't justify 9/11 and is opposed to violence.
Evans did not backtrack on her support for Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez, calling him "a very nice, jovial sweetheart of a guy" and stating, "I love Hugo Chavez."
Evans said she's "not a fan" of Fidel Castro because he uses violence. (That did not stop her from accepting the help of the Castro government to protest America on Cuban soil last year weeks before the Obama fundraiser she co-hosted.)
Evans also bragged that Code Pink's goal is to "undermine the war effort."
As part of that effort, Evans said Code Pink was trying stop recruiting for the Armed Forces because "you can't go to war if you don't have any soldiers." Evans denies being anti-military, saying she come from a military family.
With regard to Saddam Hussein, Evans said she would prefer that the late Iraqi tyrant was able to still rule Iraq, as does "every Iraqi I know."
Evans stated there were no terrorists in Iraq under Saddam Hussein going back twenty years before the 2003 war that swept him out of power.
Evans argued that America's liberation of Iraq was worse than Saddam's reign, stating (incorrectly) that 1.5 million Iraqis have been killed by America and 2.5 million wounded since 2003.
With regard to Obama, Evans denied supporting his candidacy, stating that "I really want to end the war, I just stay an antiwar activist and don't get involved in politics."
Upon further probing, Evans owned up to donating to several antiwar presidential candidates including Democrats Obama, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich and Republican Ron Paul. She did not own up to being a big money bundler and host for Obama. Nor did she speak about her decades of leadership in California Democratic politics.
Evans also bragged about the Code Pink protests outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She falsely claimed that the purpose of the protest was to bring funding to Walter Reed and to help the soldiers get better treatment.
Evans claimed it was Code Pink that "got The Washington Post to write" its Pulitzer Prize winning hit piece on Walter Reed.
She also claims that Code Pink's two-year protest at Walter Reed "finally got the money for the hospital that no body could get."
Evans denied Code Pink is a communist group, though she did wonder what was wrong with being a communist.
Kudos to Paul A. Ibbetson for doing a much better job of interviewing a Code Pink leader than Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly have ever done.
Truth and lies are interchangable tools for the Marxist revolutionary.
The question is, how long before the mainstream and leading conservative media report on Obama's ties to Jodie Evans and Code Pink.
FYI.
Birds of a feather flock together?

Kristinn has been rooting around again for the truth. He found a goodie.
Every associate of Obama’s gets more and more radical. It is becoming surreal that this guy is a nominee for US President. He should be a nominee in Zimbabwe, not America.
"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit."

CodePINK
On 17 November 2002, Medea Benjamin, Miriam Simos a.k.a. "Starhawk", Jodie Evans, Diane Wilson and approximately 100 other Liberal women kicked off CodePINK. They marched through the streets of Washington DC and set up for a four month vigil in front of the White House in an effort to weaken and divide America. The name CodePINK is a play on the Bush Administration's color-coded homeland security advisory system that signals terrorist threats.
They call themselves "Anti-War" and "Peace" activists, but nothing could be further from the truth. "Anti-War" and "Peace" is nothing more than an elaborate cover. This label of "Peace" is a deception. CodePINK is just another group of anti-American protesters with very strong Communist and Marxist beliefs. Like all the other so-called "Peace Activists", they always seem to be part of the problem and never part of the solution. They seem to spend a considerable amount of time causing traffic jams and shouting their anti-American rhetoric calling our soldiers "Killers" and "Occupation Troops" with total disregard for the people that these actions affect. They do everything they can to divide America and never anything to unite America. They thrive and exist on any conflict that enables them to cause problems for other people they do not like. It is how they get attention. Anyone with an open mind can see their actions and rhetoric are not those of people filled with love or peace. They celebrate every American Soldier and Marine killed and wounded in Iraq. They detest and loathe the military as is displayed by their actions. These are miserable people filled with extreme and vile hatred toward anyone not sharing their same Marxist philosophies.
After all of their disruptive antics, then they ask for donations under the guise of charity and goodwill. That's right, these people that do what they can to empower Islamic terrorists want your money to advance these very goals - they want to help the very people that are trying to kill Americans. Like many of these groups, donations are often used to cover administrative costs, salaries, and for causing the problems previously mentioned while never actually solving the problem at hand. It is never money well spent.
The CodePINK Leadership
Medea Susan Benjamin
Medea Benjamin was born in 1952 with the name Susan Benjamin. During her freshman year at Tufts University, she renamed herself after the Greek mythological character Medea. It was a name chosen because it was a personality that she could identify on a highly personal level.
In Greek Mythology, the character Medea was born into wealth as the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, and the granddaughter of Helios, the sun god. She also had magic powers. Both of these gave her feelings of self-importance and an elitist attitude. She was an extremely jealous woman that killed her two daughters as an act of revenge against her husband. This is the character that Medea Benjamin uses as a role model.
Medea Benjamin dropped out of school after a year and spent some time hitchhiking across Europe and Africa. She then lived in Cuba with her first husband, who was the coach of Cuba's national basketball team while she wrote for a Cuban newspaper. According to Medea Benjamin, the Cuban communist social and economic structure fit well with her political views. She is currently married to Kevin Danaher.
Communist, Marxist, and Socialist doctrine and hatred for America run deep in Medea Benjamin, Kevin Danaher, and the rest of this group. Once this fact is accepted, it is easy to see the direction of this organization... Anti-American, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Liberty, and Anti-Freedom.
Mrs. Kevin Danaher, aka Medea Benjamin, has even written a few books. "Cuba: Thoughts about Revolution", "NO FREE LUNCH: Food Revolution Cuba", and "Bridging the Global Gap: A Handbook to Linking Citizens of the First and Third Worlds". These literary works of art can be found on E-Bay ranging in price from $0.75 - $2.50.
These are the same people that want you to believe they have the best interests of the American Military. Nothing could be further from the truth. They consider the American Military to be the enemy. During the last week of December, 2004, Medea Benjamin announced in Amman, Jordan, that Global Exchange, CodePINK, and Families for Peace would be donating a combined total of more than $600,000 in medical supplies and cash to the terrorist insurgents who were fighting American troops in Fallujah, Iraq with the full knowledge and consent of Left-Wing Congressman Henry Waxman, D-CA. It was personally delivered to the "other side" by Nadia McCaffrey.
Congressman Henry Waxman, Democrat Congressman from California (pictured to the right), has actively participated with CodePINK in the financing and support of the insurgents fighting American troops. Congressman Henry Waxman signed a letter allowing Medea Benjamin and a dozen of her followers to move over $600,000 of cash and supplies into camps housing refugees from Fallujah, with no outside inspection of its contents.
Here is an American Congressman who has knowingly participated in and assisted American citizens who belong to CodePINK and other pro-Marxist, anti-American organizations, in traveling to Iraq for the sole purpose of materially aiding and supporting an enemy that is killing American Soldiers and Marines and has sworn on an oath of death to kill as many Americans as possible around the world. How is that not Treason?
Medea Benjamin is co-founder of both CodePINK and the San Francisco-based human rights organization Global Exchange and she is a member of other organizations with strong Marxist agendas such as Progressive Democrats of America.

That's the interesting part for me. "Bundling" in contemporary Democrat-speak for "laundering enormous amounts of money that would otherwise be illegal by crediting the donations to individual men, women, children, pets, inanimate objects, etc." The Clintons, through the Peter Hsus and Norman Cantus of the world, refind this process into an art form.
What I'm wondering is, where is the Obama money actually coming from? Because I don't think that Evans's 23 year old hippie son--or Evans herself--has $2300 lying around to donate to political campaigns.
Bundling in = Bundling is
refind = refined
bmup = bump
Once upon a time... but the spirit of the times makes it almost impossible now. It’s a cultural thing, IMO; the presumed right to believe whatever one wants without regard to the truth (even though the term “rights” has at most a dubious relationship with the realm of beliefs) has been exalted at the expense of the very idea of truth. It’s an Enlightenment Rationalist phenomenon that has always had at least a foothold in the U.S. even though people didn’t practice it so much as they articulated it as a principle. But now, as people become more and more comfortable with Enlightenment principles put to practice (having lost any personal attachment to our *real* traditions), we’re at the point where even America’s traitors will probably never be apprehended so long as they believe in what they’re doing.
We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?"
The Saudis asked us in to help defend them!
How ignorant are some of these things?
"Jodie Evans also sits on the advisory board of the International Occupation Watch (IOW) center in Iraq, which CodePINK helped establish. Both organizers of Occupation Watch, Medea Benjamin and Leslie Cagan have explicitly declared that their purpose in setting up headquarters in Baghdad was to thin U.S. forces by getting soldiers to declare themselves conscientious objectors. Leslie Cagan is the pro-Castro leader of United For Peace and Justice."
Leslie Cagan is now actually the National Coordinator of United for Peace and Justice. Cagan is a longtime supporter of communist causes and a founder of the org Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. CCDS is an old offshoot of Communist Party USA. The National Co-Chair of UFPJ, Judith LeBlanc, http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=3503 is vice chair of Communist Party USA. UFPJ, interestingly, had the bumper sticker slogan "Bush Lied, Who Died" thing going very early on in the war effort, I think even before it was known whether Saddam had large quantities of WMDs or not. My suspicion is that the entire campaign was orchestrated by the Russians. That it was the Russians who were behind the forged uranium documents and perhaps even 911 itself (through the Islamic nitwits al-qaeda).

Whitewashing Reds
By Cliff Kincaid
Accuracy In Media (AIM)
April 23, 2003
"New York bureau chief of the Washington Post, tried to explain why he failed to note in an April 17 puff piece about anti-war organizer Leslie Cagan that she is a co-chair of a group called the 'Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.'
But he left out something even more important—that the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) is an offshoot of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA). 'I call her a leftist,' Powell protested, as if that were an accurate and complete characterization of Cagan’s ideology.
Powell, a reporter for the paper that broke open the Watergate scandal, apparently could not find it within his power or ability to reveal that Cagan is a co-chair of a group dominated by former veteran CPUSA members such as Angela Davis. The CCDS Web site refers to the Communist Manifesto as a 'stirring document' that is relevant today.
Powell’s article did acknowledge that International ANSWER, the Workers World Party (WWP) front group behind several Washington, D.C. protests, was a 'Marxist-Leninist grouping that glorifies North Korea...' But he then ignored the hard evidence of Cagan’s communist connections and travels to Cuba. It’s clear that Powell was trying to present Cagan, the head of a rival anti-war group called United For Peace and Justice, as a more responsible activist without the WWP baggage. He could only do that by insulating Cagan from the taint of communism or even socialism."

That's probably true. I was thinking that they don't want to go there cause then they'd never be able to speak their mine.

Why I support Barack Obama: I want to stop Hillary, I am impressed with his ideas and ideals and that he has an amazing wife and listens to her. He plays it a bit too safe for me and I hate his lack of leadership on the war. But no one is perfect. I trust him more than anyone else in the race. I trust that he can stir it up and lead us forward to a new and more tolerant america, one with a commentment to her people and not to the money. I believe he is smart enough and disconnected from those in power enough to make this happen.

It shows JodEEE!
They why the heck didn't ObSama take it up with the Saudi Royal family?
Does no one fact check anything anymore?
The United States Military Training Mission (USMTM) to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Security Assistance Organization (SAO) which manages and is primarily funded by Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases between the United States Government and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. USMTM was the result of a meeting between King Abdul Aziz and United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Great Bitter Lake.
This is all I have found, so far, in regard to this meeting at Great Bitter Lake
FDR with Ibn Saud --->>> 
The 1951 Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement and the 1977 Accords (known as the USMTM Agreement) formed and governs the basis and function of USMTM in Saudi Arabia. USMTM was formally established on June 27, 1953 and is still a fundamental component of the US/Saudi military relationship.
Despite its at times anti-Western rhetoric, Saudi Arabia has been very dependent on Western military assistance for its security needs. When President Saddam Hussein of Iraq invaded Saudi Arabia's northern neighbor Kuwait in 1990 during the Persian Gulf War, Saudi Arabia immediately requested the deployment of US troops within the country to deter further aggression
Evans: "Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?"
