Obama's Code Pink Fundraiser Met With Ahmadinejad
Town Hall ^ | 9/25/2008 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:25:19 PM PDT by markomalley

Jodi Evans, a founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink and "bundler" for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday.

“It’s rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host government—represented by the Bush administration—is so hostile,” Evans said in a statement. “The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.”

During the Democratic primary Obama came under fire from both his Democratic and Republican foes for promising to meet with Ahmadinejad “without preconditions” if he became president.

At the meeting Evans and fellow Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin offered Ahmadinejad a plan to build a “peace park” in Tehran and invest funds in Iranian businesses “that produce green and sustainable products, such as bicycles.”

Evans signed on to become a “bundler” for Obama’s presidential campaign last June. As a bundler, she has pledged to raise at least $50,000 for his campaign.

150 other “peace group representatives” also attended the event which was held at New York’s Grand Hyatt Hotel. Ahmahdinejad was in the city to address the United Nations.

Are you sure the author didn’t misspell “bungler”?

Wasn’t she one of the crazies that tried to interrupt the G.O.P. convention?

Isn’t this a treasonous act? After all, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pretty much threatened us again yesterday

Between the Mennonites, the code pink crowd and general loony peacenik demonstrators, ... Ahmadinejad will go home with a bigger head then the one he arrived with. I’m sure that he believes the bat fringe in the US are the majority, considering they are the only ones that are willing to meet with him. ;-)

Does she think meeting with a mugger would prevent her from being mugged?

No, but she believes it does keep the flies off her watermelon.

Ahmadinejad met with you because he hates America and Americans and he understands that you and your group do also. So it is not surprising that he met with you.

We used to call them “The Fifth Column” during world war II and “Fellow Travelers” during the cold war.
