Code Pink's Medea Benjamin Arrested at Home of Blackwater/Xe Founder Erik Prince
Friday, August 20, 2010 | Kristinn

Terrorist support and Code Pink co-founder Susan "Medea" Benjamin was arrested tonight at the home of Xe founder (formerly Blackwater) Erik Prince, according to a press release posted by Code Pink.

Erik Prince was not home, having left the United States for Abu Dhabi. Inexplicably, Benjamin was let in the house according to the press release. When Benjamin revealed the true nature of her visit Mrs. Prince threw her out of the house.

CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin and other DC area activists were detained at the home of Blackwater Founder Erik Prince. The group dropped by to deliver a letter urging Prince not to flee the US to extradition-free UAE. His move, though couched by his PR team as a much needed break from the US would in fact eliminate the possibilities that he could be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated by Blackwater while under his control. Benjamin was invited into the Prince home, she then proceeded to explain to Prince's wife why she was delivering the letter; Mrs. Prince then pushed Benjamin out the door and told her to "leave the house immediately". Police soon arrived, entered the house to speak with the Prince family. While statements were being taken by other eyewitnesses, Benjamin was quickly hand-cuffed and arrested.

This stunt by Code Pink marks a new low in their harassment of individuals at their homes.

"She came into my house and attacked me and tried to kill me. I told to stop"

Too much info. Regardless of the circumstances say this and not a peep more: I feared for my life, I want to talk to a lawyer.

Look up her background. It goes a long way towards explaining why she is such a moonbat.

Beware of freaks bearing gifts, or letters. Mrs. Prince needs to be more careful. Wonder if the letter was a warning from Tehran or just the usual leftwing drivel and fake subpoenas?

Can you imagine the screaming if someone on the right behaved in the same way? We’d be hearing about it all day for 6 months.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2008 PM : (NY CITY : OBAMA CAMPAIGN STAFFER JODIE EVANS LEADS A DELEGATION OF ANTI-AMERICAN LEFTIST GROUPS {INCLUDING MEDEA BENJAMIN, BRIAN BECKER, LESLIE CAGAN, LARRY HOLMES & RAMSEY ClARK} TO VISIT WHACKJOB IRANIAN PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD IN NY-- See CODE PINK, MEDEA BENJAMIN {--FOUNDER OF GLOBAL EXCHANGE; See CUBA, WWP, CODE PINK, NION, POWER COMPANIES, RANGEL [D-NY], MFSO, MARLA RUZICKA}, BRIAN BECKER, LESLIE CAGAN {Member of MFS [see IPS,VVAW & PCPJ]; PFAW; 1996 Co-Chair of NNOC [see CISPES] Co-Chair of UFPJ; NION signer; Founder of Committees of Correspondence [see CPUSA] Associated with the VECEMEROS BRIGADES [OFFSHOOT OF SDS?, FUNDED & TRAINED BY CUBAN INTELLIGENCE]} ) A founding member of the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois met in New York City tonight with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Jodie Evans, who co-hosted Obama's first major fundraiser in Hollywood in February 2007 just after Obama announced his candidacy and is a top fundraiser and donor to Obama's campaign, led a delegation of leftist anti-American groups that held a private meeting near the United Nations. The stated purpose of the meeting was to "serve as an opening for diplomatic resolution" to prevent war between Iran and the United States.
The government of Iran is listed as a state sponsor of terrorism by the State Department and is strongly believed to be developing nuclear weapons.
Obama has stated that he would be willing to meet with Ahmadinejad and other enemies of the United States without conditions. Evans [ALSO] met with Obama in Beverly Hills last week at an exclusive $28,500 per person fundraiser. Obama has come under heavy criticism from military families and troops support organizations over his alliance with Evans.
Evans is co-founder of the pro-terrorist group Code Pink and works with state sponsors of terrorism to undermine America in the war on terror. She also has publicly announced her support for the terrorists in Iraq, her sympathy for Osama bin Laden and her "love" of Hugo Chavez.
Given Evans' closeness to regular contacts with Obama and his campaign, it is fair to ask if she is acting as an intermediary for Obama.... Others attending the meeting with [Iranian President] Ahmadinejad included anti-American activists who support the terrorists in Iraq and work anti-American governments: Medea Benjamin, Brian Becker, Leslie Cagan, Larry Holmes and Ramsey Clark.The press release announcing the meeting can be found here [http://forpeace.net/news/2008/09/24/convenes-meeting-peace-activists-and-president-ahmadinejad]. ------- "Top Obama Campaign Member Met With Ahmadinejad in New York Tonight," Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | Kristinn Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 10:42:49 PM by kristinn.

Raoul turned his attention to the woman's puppetmaster, Medea Benjamin. "Medea," he said, "You lived in Cuba. You wrote for a Cuban newspaper." Medea interrupted, saying, "That's not about that here." Raoul continued, "You wrote a book called Cuba, Thoughts about Revolution, by Medea Benjamin. The book can be found on Amazon. C'mon, Medea, what is it? Are you a peace activist or are you a revolutionary. ?" Medea took off without answering. The crowd remained and closed in on Raoul. A state trooper intervened and told the protesters to back off, which they did. The media was there for the confrontation with Medea. Let's see what they choose to report.-----Code Pinko Medea Benjamin Flees When Confronted by Doctor Raoul at Dover AFB Sunday, March 14, 2004 | Kristinn Posted on 03/14/2004 2:06:38 PM PST by kristinn

I would have preferred a headline that said “Head of Code Pink shot trying to break into home”.

We used to shoot traitors, didn’t we?

Code Pink went out of style with the Iraq Victory & MoveOn.Org. Now that Obama is in the White House the media could care less about them.

Any Code Pinko trying to enter my home would be staring at the business end of my "peacemaker"... Ithaca pump-style. I have a sneaking suspicion that they'd leave without a struggle. There's something innately unnerving and utterly convincing about the appearance of a tiny, bright red laser dot on the bridge of one's nose. Worth a thousand words, even.

8^O

With a business like Xe... Erik Prince doesn't have several "employees" securing his home and screening visitors??

Maybe 6 or so German Shepherds wandering the grounds??

His wife actually answers the door??

I would have loved it if this bi*ch came in and the Prince’s had a Rottweiler.
