I wouldn't be surprised if George Soros had a hand in this. His filthy mitts seem to be in just about everything. I just googled "Global Exchange + George Soros." Came up with quite a few hits. Here's one:

The now-defunct Soros Documentary Fund gave Medea Benjamin money to produce “Indonesia: Islands on Fire.” Benjamin is best known as head of Global Exchange, an organization that takes credulous leftists on propaganda tours highlighting the “successes” of socialist nations and the “horrors” of American foreign policy. Benjamin played a leading role in the violent 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, and in the 2001 G-8 protests in Genoa, Italy, which also ended in violence. Most recently, she teamed up with Leslie Cagan to form International Occupation Watch, whose professed goal was to get U.S. GIs stationed in Iraq to declare themselves conscientious objectors and get them sent home. This, wrote Benjamin in The Nation last April, would cause the war effort to collapse and force us to beat a hasty retreat from other terrorist hotspots. In the same piece, Benjamin endorsed “preemptively” sending human shields to hot spots like North Korea and Iran. Like Cagan, Benjamin has described Marxist Cuba as “heaven” and has found her way onto the foundations’ gravy train.

Actually what I did was enter "Global Exchange" and then 'search within results' then added "George Soros." Anyway, I did the same with "Code Pink" and "Medea Benjamin" and Soros' name. There sure seem to be a lot of hits for all of those combinations.

Is there any way we can keep her in her Marxist heaven? Like not let her back in the country?
