Your wish is my command.

WOW!!! How many wishes do I get? ;o)

(Ed. Interesting that Medea Benjamin, a traitor to her country, is threatening a law-abiding citizen about his 'taxes.' Somebody should be looking into Code Pink's tax filings. Just guessing, but I think there would plenty of irregularities.)

Yep. I'd say that was a dead giveaway.

If you are so proud of your action, Karl, then why don’t you sign your last name or say what your business is? Perhaps you’re worried that the IRS might ask why you spent so much of your income on tax-deductible “meals and meeting expenses”?

Perhaps Karl would rather run his business without having to deal with the possibility of repercussions from a bunch of unemployed traitors who have nothing better to do with their time than to harass their political enemies.

Thanks,

This is an interesting read. Nice break from the news on the day before the “Super Something-or-other”. LOL

Oh My God, -- My Eyes, My Eyes!!!!

Isn't that her STOMACH hanging down between her knees? Sure like belly button to me.

Sheesh, what a SOW!!!!

Every time that photo is shown, I feel bad. I am angry at Code Pink and their destroying my love for my favorite color.

Does anyone know anything about this woman or her health at this time?

[Syncro]

Well that is just what they want to happen, so they can accuse you of violence.

It’s not a good idea to promote physically engaging the authorities.

I think your idea would get you some serious jail time.

Medea Benjamin's cash cow is Global Exchange, a 501(3)c tax exempt organization.

Anyone can write them and they have to send you a FREE copy of their tax returns, it's the law. They must comply within 30 days.

Write for your free copy today.

[Syncro]

Thanks Doc

Maybe someone will jump on that.

[Doctor Raoul]

Everybody should jump on that.

[vigilence]

I work in the Purchasing Department of a major university that has done a significant amount of business in Berkeley. But since I have discretion to buy elsewhere I certainly will from now on.

[Cobra64]

I dunno. It’s posted every time Code Pink is a headline. It’s appropriate I think. Too bad it gives other overweight folks a bad image. (My sister-in-law, whom I love dearly, is more than pudgy-esque)

[Doctor Raoul]

Likewise, people should order a tax return from:

ENVIRONMENTALISM THROUGH INSPIRATION & NON VIOLENT ACTION
20178 ROCKPORT WY
MALIBU, CA 90265

These folks are also a tax free conduit for Code Pink.

[Syncro]

I dunno. It’s posted every time Code Pink is a headline

Thank goodness it isn't! It's gross and I personally don't think it helps our cause.

Here’s another one sent to the weirdos at Berkeley

“Dear Mayor Bates,

In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley, California metro area.

In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area.

In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts, all suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be informed that we will not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area.

Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior, currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar 300+ villas and 200+ condos: Porto Hussong, 500+ condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes.

I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in, or associated with in any way whatsoever, Berkeley, Ca.

Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business for over 35 years, our list of contacts and associates is long and very, very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to recomend that they ALL along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses and CHARITIES of every kind.

You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood of better men than you.

I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers consequences arising from that obnoxious, sickening stance.

Cordially,

Brian G Dennard”

Testarosas? ;o)

[mrsmel]

I don’t know why they haven’t already created some interest from the IRS by their financial support of terrorist groups. I don’t understand how they get away with that.

[SmithL]

You don't have to wait. Go to GuideStar.org, and you can look up any non-profit. According to Global Exchange's 2005 returns, they took in $4,173,190. Medea Benjamin only got paid $44,891 that year.

[Syncro]

Thanks for that info.

It would be interesting to see Benjamin’s expense account.

Way more than her reported salary I would venture to guess.
