WHY, should Barrack Hussein Obama renounce Code Pink? He supports EVERYTHING they stand for!

With the RNC finally applying some heat, hopefully Sen. Obama will do the right thing and renounce Jodie Evans and her Code Pink blood money.
Here is an article posted at FR with more extensive background on the connections between Obama and Code Pink's Jodie Evans:
Terrorist Supporter Hosted Obama Hollywood Fundraiser
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's first Hollywood fundraiser was co-hosted by a supporter of the terrorists in Iraq. The Hollywood bibleVariety reported that Code Pink's Jodie Evans co-hosted the Obama event with her ex-husband Max Palevsky and Dreamworks partners Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen in February 2007.
In 2005 while attending the World Trbunal on Iraq in Istanbul, Evans gushed approvingly of the terrorists in Iraq in a statement originally published on the Code Pink website:
"We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and defending their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. The Iraqi people are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies." (AlterNet, June 26, 2005)
Code Pink endorsed the findings of the World Tribunal on Iraq that expressed unqualified support for the terrorists in Iraq.
When Evans co-hosted the Obama fundraiser, she had just returned from Cuba as a guest of the Castro government where she and her Code Pink partner Medea Benjamin protested the U.S. military's terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo. (A year before that, Evans had been a guest of Castro wannabe Hugo Chavez in Venezuala.)
In December 2004, Evans helped Code Pink deliver $650,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to families of the terrorists in Fallujah. At the time, the U.S. military was waging a major campaign to retake the city from Al Qaeda in Iraq. The recent film about the insurgency in Iraq, Meeting Resistance, showed that family members of the insurgency are intimately involved in aiding terrorist activities.
Recent news articles have reported on Evans' bundling more than $50,000 in contributions to Sen. Obama's presidential campaign, as well as her $2300 personal contribution to that campaign. The revelation that she was selected by Obama to co-host his first fundraiser in Hollywood takes their political relationship to a new, more personal level.
Evans' radical anti-American politics are no secret. The news of her trip to Castro's Cuba just weeks before the fundraiser was widely reported. The knowledge of her support for the terrorists in Iraq was easily obtainable by doing a quick Internet search. That Barack Obama not only accepted Jodie Evans' money, but also gave her the honor of co-hosting his first Hollywood fundraiser, should raise great concerns that he shares her radical pro-terrorist politics.
FYI!
All this fingerpointing is just an ‘ugly contest’ between toads.
Bump!
“Evans Blamed 9/11 Attacks On America’s Presence In The Middle East”
It’s the other way around. America is in the Middle East precisely because of the unprovoked sneak attacks on 9-11.
Instead of whining about what the other side is doing (like there really IS another side any more) perhaps the Repubes ought to concentrate on their own fundraising problems.
“It’s the other way around. America is in the Middle East precisely because of the unprovoked sneak attacks on 9-11.”
So....we had no presence in the Middle East BEFORE 9/11?

I would love to focus on the Republican fundraising “problem” and encourage others to contribute to the “problem” as well...

If that is your letter that you posted here on FR a few weeks back, I read it already and agree.
save
yup it is
Why doesn't he just wave his hands and make the waters part? Oh, I forgot, that was Moses and he's the messiah.
The Code Pink slime is going to stick to Democrats who refuse to renounce their money.
And it’s a pleasant surprise to see our RNC actually growing enough stones to mention it.
I don’t see John McCain taking money and being friendly with the Code Pink people who harm our military men and women.
With the socialists in firm control of the media and ZERO help from the administration, not likely.
By the way, I will be in DC this week, freepmail me if there is anything going on.
Does that mean he walked there?

9/11 had the opposite effect of what the terrorist intended. The US increased their presence in the Middle East due to their acts of war.
“9/11 had the opposite effect of what the terrorist intended. The US increased their presence in the Middle East due to their acts of war.”
True, but how does that answer my question?
This is all I have found, so far, in regard to this meeting at Great Bitter Lake
FDR with Ibn Saud --->>> 
The 1951 Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement and the 1977 Accords (known as the USMTM Agreement) formed and governs the basis and function of USMTM in Saudi Arabia. USMTM was formally established on June 27, 1953 and is still a fundamental component of the US/Saudi military relationship.
