Sick! Code Pink Leader Says al Qaeda Terrorists No Different than Poor U.S. Street Gang Kids
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Tuesday, February 25, 2014 | Kristinn Taylor

Terrorist supporter Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin spoke sympathetically of al Qaeda terrorists in a speech to a leftist group in Miami, Florida last week.

Benjamin, co-founder of the leftist front group Code Pink, spoke on February 18th to a gathering of fellow leftists at Florida International University according to a report by the leftist site FightBack!News.

“Medea Benjamin spoke about her travels to American-created war zones and areas being targeted by U.S. drones. She described tragic encounters with families of those murdered by American drones in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia – including the mother of three sons who were all targeted and killed by drone strikes.

“”It is horrible that there are so many innocent casualties,” she said. “But even those actually targeted by drones and labeled as ‘militants’ are usually young people who join organizations like Al Qaeda because they don’t have much and have run out of options. Hearing their families speak about them was like hearing about young people who decide to join gangs in the U.S.””

Yes, Susie, people who join al Qaeda–the world-renowned terrorist group famous for the 9/11 attacks on America–are doing so for the paycheck, not the promise of eternal life with 72 virgins and the chance to slaughter Americans, Jews and anti-Islamist Muslims with bombings, plane hijackings and suicide attacks.

Benjamin also fails to note that many al Qaeda terrorists are well educated sons (and daughters) of privilege.

Last year Benjamin and her Code Pink co-leader—and Obama bundler—Jodie Evans traveled to Yemen where they met with the father of slain al Qaeda spiritual leader Anwar al-Awlaki and raised funds for the families of al Qaeda terrorists.

Such talk and terrorist alliances have not prevented Code Pink from working with President Barack Obama and leaders in the Democratic Party.

Osama Bin Laden had a billion dollars.
Yasir Arafat had a billion dollars?

Just how much money do these Jew haters need to get out of poverty?

What a bunch of BS. All the 9/11 terrorists had fine opportunities. The shoe bomber was the son of a wealthy man who traveled Europe, had money, and had complete financial freedom.
The Boston bombers got to hang out and smoke pot, work out at the gym, sit around all day at their mosque, travel back to Russia for a terrorist sabbatical, etc.

Terrorists are generally spoiled kids who have the moslem brain infection that makes them feel entitled.

I agree. Street gangs should be treated like the terrorists they are.

Benjamin is nothing but a media attention whore. Her stock in trade is to say the most offensive, over the top things possible merely to rile up her opponents and get them talking about her. This gets her invited on the talking head shows to respond. We shouldn’t take the bait.

This is also a tactic used by MSNBC to get ratings. Most folks in this country have no idea who she is and she would go away when she is ignored

Roger that. It is the preferred tactic of that Melissa Perry. (or is she on CNN?)
