1980s early to mid : (NICARAGUAN COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT ATTRACTIVE TO MEDEA BENJAMIN & LESLIE CAGAN-—SEE CODE PINK, GLOBAL EXCHANGE ) The ties that continue to bind [MEDEA] Benjamin, [LESLIE] Cagan and the others behind Code Pink and todays anti-war movement were formed in the early-to-mid 1980s when the still young Marxist-American activists found the cause that first unified them: a communist government in Nicaragua. Using the same sort of incestuous, sprawling coalitions they created to oppose the war in Iraq and the invasion of Afghanistan after Sept. 11, they helped aid the Marxist Sandinista regime in its struggle against the American-backed Contras for control of the Nicaraguan government.
Benjamin worked as a project coordinator for Institute for Food and Development Policy (IFDP), which was widely credited with aiding the Marxist Sandinista regime while Cagan, coordinator of the National Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America, led marches against US aid to the contras at home that at times attracted upwards of 75,000 people.-———Code Pinko

Thank you for the Ping, Starwise!
Insane. These Code Pink folks are just looney tunes.
The Left is full of these sorts of nuts. It’s like moths drawn to a flame.
ROTFL! I guess Jodie doesn’t realize that former Presidents have Secret Service protection. I hope she, and her stupid acolytes stays ignorant of that fact and some of them try to go after George W. Bush. They’ll get their sorry Code Pink a$$es handed to them, on a platter.
I appreciate the information. It still baffles me how people can take such a dim view of the U.S., and give folks like Fidel or Ahmadenejad the respect our nation is due.
You don’t just wonder if they were dropped on their heads as children. It makes you wonder how many times...
