“Code Pink, founded in 2002 to oppose the US”
Honesty in journalism.
Code Pink and the rest of the anti-American left had great plans to use this month to kick off a nationwide campaign to undermine support for the war.
They've had several days of protests in D.C. starting with last weekend and continuing through today with street blockades this afternoon.
The left is also targeting high school students with an anti-recruiter campaign in schools, and they are targeting recruiting centers.
They are holding demonstrations around the country today to mark the eighth anniversary of going into Afghanistan.
Also this month, Code Pink made elaborate plans to have two leftist Afghan women tour the States to tell everyone how much they want the U.S. to leave right away.
All these plans have been monkey-wrenched by Code Pink coming face-to-face with the undeniable reality of the multitude of Afghan women who told them in no uncertain terms that they do not want to live under the Taliban again and want U.S. troops to stay and finish the job.
What they found in Afghanistan was so over-powering there was no way for them to use their usual propaganda schtick. They've been forced to live up to their 'women's group' image by this very public rebuke of Code Pink's intentions by Afghan women.
Is that how they play soccer over there?
Whatever they are for, I am against. It’s not the business of our military to protect women abroad. They exist solely to crush our enemies and get out. Bush promised before his election he would not engage in nation building. He broke his promise in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I say nuke and radiate the place after we leave.
It's either Patton Armageddon or pull out. Since the former is never going to happen, I reluctantly say pull out. And yes, we need our boys back for The Revolution. .
Amazing how Code Pink missed (during the Bush administration) the photos of women being executed in Afghanistan, or the stories of women being denied basic healthcare or education.
Unfortunately, there new found opinion that women should not be treated worse than farm animals will only last as long as Bambi is in the white house.
Thank you for courteously answering this nimrod.
And your continuing sterling work on behalf of FR and conservatives everywhere.
Cheers!
Looks like Suzie Benjamin got a face lift. Saw her on O’Reilly today. I have seen here in person, as you undoubtedly have and she had a lot more wrinkles than she does now.
Wow. So Code Pinko is more leftist than peacenik?? Who woulda thought?
Hey, look Ron Howard got his hair back and a set of man boobs.
The only reason they are doing this is because a Democrat is in office. If it were Bush or any Republican they would be out there demonstrating as loud as ever.
Amazing! Code Pink must back Obama at all costs, even to the point of a complete turnaround in their position on Afghanistan.
Such beautiful women and children in that country!
Too bad their lives will go back to being a living hell when Obama pulls all our troops out next year.
