Pink Equals Green

A Radical Obama Supporter? How Unusual!!

Over at Politico, Jonathan Martin has a blog up about another Obama radical. This time, it's big time campaign bundler and Code Pink co-Founder Jodie Evans.

Evans is a notorious figure, notorious most recently for an inflammatory interview where she suggested that Osama bin Laden was basically being a reasonable chap defending his home:

Jodie Evans:… "We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States."

Paul A. Ibbetson: "Do you think that's a valid argument?"

Evans: "Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?"

You can catch the audio here.

Code Pink is, of course, famous for their disruption of Congressional hearings, and for casting spells against Marine Recruiting Stations. Yes, that's right, spells.

There's more, read on ...

Jodie Evans, though, is more than simply yet another radical leftist traitor hopping on the Obama bandwagon. Bundling wasn't really enough for her.

Code Pink and Evans in particular have been using their typical tactics in support of Senator Obama throughout his campaign. They have repeatedly disrupted Hillary events over the last year and a half, and even created an anti-Hillary website.

According to Variety magazine, (via Melanie Morgan), Evans was exerting heavy pressure in getting hoity-toity celebs to come to Obama over Clinton. The list of exploits goes on and on.

It seems there is another list that goes on and on. The list of radicals, extremists, and left-wing wackos out there working to get Obama elected. As Erick has so well illuminated, Obama is of them, he is from them. He's their guy, and their success.

For my part, I think a useful test of any idea is this: What Jodie Evans is for, default common sense position is to be against. Especially for you Democrats. Fail to be watchful, and pink will be the new blue ... if it isn't already.

At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, there were plenty of delegates wearing Code Pink regalia.

It made an interesting contrast with the militaristic trappings on the stage ("I'm John Kerry, reporting for duty!").

I expect that there will be even more of them at the 2008 Dem convention.

And if Al Sharpton doesn't get a slot in prime-time to speak live to the nation, I'll eat my copy of the Quran.
