Don't Get in Bed With Code Pink--They Have Blood of U.S. Soldiers on Their Hands

He has had a lot of work done on that face.

interesting reading
look up Ahmad Jabar the “new” “elected” chief of the Syrian opposition
“Former political prisoner” but he sure bounced in and out of Syrian jail and quickly- not much time served for a political foe of such an oppressive regime

Look at who backs him (tribal ties- Saudi Arabia)

Look at when Jabar met with John Kerry (July) and with the French govt (obama’s only “coalition” partner so far)- July

Look at what he asked for and what they promised him (stepped up aid - and weapons)

the chemical attack occurred on 21 August

some reports claim the Saudis provide the agent/weapons that were used by “rebel fighters” who didn’t know how to even handle them

why is obama so eager to get the USA into a civil war (really a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia) - NOW - urgently?

why does Kerry say “Arabs” will pay for the war?

connect the dots?

There are two times it is unwise to attack an opponent. One, when he is destroying himself; two, when he agrees with you.

It is more important to stop this war than to maintain purity with respect to Code Pink. Their mockery of Kerry is cheer-worthy. It was not easy for anyone to get a photo of him yesterday without bloody hands raised behind him.

Yeah, they used to demonstrate on the sidewalk in front of the US Marine’s storefront recruiting office in Berkley, and my pickup truck seemed to always want to park there when I drove by.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Point appreciated.

However, when you are up against a bunch of Alinskyites, you can’t afford to miss opportunities to play the game by their rules.

The Mujahadeen were slimy characters as well, but Reagan made his peace with working with them in order to deliver the Soviets a bloody nose.

I say turn ‘em loose and let them do the heavy lifting. Will throw the Democrat Party into absolute turmoil.

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah, they’re commie scum, but I’m immensely enjoying the irony of them throwing their red hands into Kerry’s face just like they did to Condi Rice.

[Thunder90]

Code Pinko, ANSWER, UFPJ, World Can’t Wait, Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda going after Obama... Now THAT’S entertainment.

[popdonnelly]

The Code Pink people are merely trying to bring attention to themselves, to escape the boredom of their miserable lives. We are concerned about issues.

I read this earlier and wanted to respond to your article at more length. I respectfully disagree with you. None of us are “getting into bed” with code pink. Literally or figuratively. This is just one of those weird times when some of the lunatics happen to be on our side. It happens. And we should take advantage of it when it occurs. We might even be able to talk to them somewhat rationally for a brief time. Who knows?

We don’t have so much of a luxury of picking our allies these days. The plain fact is that the forces aligned in favor of starting what could become WWIII are legion, well organized, and pretty much in political control. This isn’t the sort of situation where you worry, as did the character in the movie “The Patriot”, about THOSE kind of people.

You noted in your article that code pink “have the blood of US soldiers on their hands.” Really? Or was that just a little bit of overzealous hyperbole on your part? I’m not aware of any member of code pink who has physically harmed anyone. And they are not in a position of political control, so it’s not as if people under their orders did anything. What they are guilty of so far as I can tell is sympathizing with political views that we find repugnant, extremely poor taste, lousy judgement, and being ugly. On the positive side, I must admit that they have some intestinal fortitude to hold “bloody” hands up to political leaders regardless of party.

So while I’m not advocating lying down with these folks in any sense, I think we do ourselves no favors by pre-emptively excluding those who agree with us.

As I’ve noted on FR threads in the past regarding infanticide: I wouldn’t give a damn if the person who cast the deciding vote to get rid of infanticide was a militant pagan lesbian. It just wouldn’t matter. The end result is just too important.
