Obama Bundler Who Stormed Palin Convention Speech Welcomed at Obama's Elite Hollywood Fundraiser
Thursday, September 18, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/18/2008 7:19:30 PM PDT by kristinn

Democrat presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois put his seal of approval on the woman who attempted to storm the stage during the acceptance speech by Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska at the Republican National Convention by welcoming her to his $28,500 per person fundraiser held in Hollywood on Tuesday night.

Less than two weeks after garnering worldwide attention by getting within feet of the stage where Palin stood before getting dragged away by security personnel, Obama bundler Jodie Evans, co-founder of the anti-American group Code Pink, was one of about 300 donors attending the high-priced fundraiser Obama held at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills that brought in approximately $8 million for the Obama campaign and the Democratic party, according to Entertainment Weekly, which published the donor list for the event.

Obama greeted the elite donors individually and posed for photos with them.

Days after Palin's speech, the National Review's Jim Geraghty suggested to Obama that he cut his ties to Evans.

Others have urged Obama to cut his ties to Evans over much more egregious behavior. Specifically her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden, her work with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America's war effort, her embrace of Hugo Chavez and her campaign to drive the Marines out of Berkeley--among a long list of treasonous actions.

Evans has been part of the Obama campaign from its beginning. She co-hosted his breakthrough Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007, the month he launched his candidacy.

Evans has contributed the maximum $4600 total to Obama's presidential primary and general election funds. Evans is also listed by the Obama campaign as a bundler of between $50,000 and $100,000 in contributions to his campaign.

Evans and Code Pink also delivered $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to the families of what Code Pink called "the other side" in Fallujah, Iraq as the Marines were liberating that city from al Qaeda in Iraq in late 2004.

Evans and Code Pink will be in New York City next week where they will be calling for President Bush to be arrested at the United Nations and put on trial for being "the world's number one war criminal."

Barack Obama's close embrace of Evans as one of the key members of his campaign has been virtually ignored by the media. With six weeks left in the campaign, will they inform the American people that the man who aspires to be commander-in-chief is intimately allied with someone who is working to get American soldiers killed and America defeated in the war on terror?

From the table seating arrangement published by Entertainment Weekly:

Table No. 29
Jodie Evans, Amanda Fairey, Shepard Fairey, Ellen Grinstein, Rami Kolahi, Ken Luskin, Jonathan Palevsky, Max Palevsky, Sylvie Rabineau, Frank Smith

Republicans’d better wake up! Understand that democritters do not just represent a rival political party to be negotiated with but that they are the ENEMY as real as Al-Qaeda is.

Yeah, I've seen others talking about that. I honestly don't know. I developed hearing loss in my 30’s and can't listen to radio like the rest of you so I miss a lot of interesting things.

Fox News and Free Republic are my sources. When YOU find out, let me know, lol.

She does seem to be under wraps moreso now.

Something to check. I read that Jodie Evans was the wife or separated wife of leftist financial angel Max Palevsky (who has long supported communist and leftwing causes - He is also a bigwig in the Democratic Party.)

Love these anti-capitalist commies. They don’t live in a 6 x 9 ft shack like Obie’s half-brother. They don’t eat out of garbage cans, or ride bikes to work.

There is no limit to their hypocrisy.

More fodder for a 527 ad.

There are so many of these anti-American freaks seamlessly adorned throughout Barack Obama's entire life history, that the ad would have to be at least 30 minutes to do them all justice.

How utterly dishonorable for Obama to associate with this petty fascist who stormed the stage of his political rival.

McCain needs this in a commercial

How apopros that a Chicago thug politician should welcome a Code Pink moonbat to his campaign fundraiser!

If any republican was close friends with someone this extreme on the right you can bet the dems would mention it over and over again. Why don’t republicans do the same thing. These people are enemies of America. They are supporters of UBL.

A tacit admission that the poisonous rumor-spreading, email-hacking nutroots work hand in glove with the Obama campaign.
