    Code Pink hates JROTC

    Code Pink was worried that no one was paying attention to them, so they decided to attack the JROTC program along with the NRA boogeyman.

    It’s because the Florida school gunman was supposedly in JROTC where he received some airgun marksmanship training from the NRA. Of course, Code Pink ignores the three JROTC cadets that tried to save their schoolmates from the gunman;

    And, oh, by the way, JROTC produces hundreds of good citizens who benefit from an education that the rest of their peers won’t get in school. Like these Chicago students who decided to use their 17 minutes of remembrance to trash and steal from a nearby WalMart, you know, in spite of the fact that WalMart conceded to Leftist gun hysteria and stopped selling modern sporting rifles.

    Shoppers and store employees were stunned by the destruction Wednesday morning at the Walmart in Chatham Market on the South Side.

    Chicago police say it started when students at neighboring Simeon Career Academy were allowed to leave the school for 17 minutes to take part in the nationwide walkout to protest guns.

    Police say between 40 and 60 of those students crossed the street and trashed parts of the store, knocking over product displays, yanking items off shelves, breaking packages and stealing small items like chips and candy.

    Code Pink has been on the wrong side of history since their founding, so I guess I shouldn’t expect a change anytime soon.

  • Women’s Group Objects to Artillery

    The anti-war women’s group Code Pink has issued an objection to public displays and use of artillery.  Medea Benjamin’s brief statement calls for an end to the obviously male symbols of artillery and other ballistic equipment, and wants it all canned.

    Her release on Twitter was direct: “No more phallic symbols of warfare.”

    Well-known for its anti-war stance since the early 2000s, the group has stated clearly that it welcomes men.

    “As long as they support our anti-war efforts, we’re okay with having them as members,”  Ms. Benjamin said, “especially since the White House appears to be dead set on increasing the U.S. presence in the Middle East. We protested this 15 years ago, and it’s as though we had no influence at all.”

    While Code Pink’s objections to warfare are widely known, the reasons for the organization’s dislike of war equipment were not clear until a brief statement was issued to clarify the matter.

    “Obviously, war is historically a male-oriented and male-dominated endeavor, but until the development of guns and cannons, there was no real connection to the masculinity of it all. It’s much more easy to see the connection between aiming a rocket or missile launcher and maleness.  Raising one of those big pieces of artillery is psychologically symbolic of male arousal. Shooting off a rocket or a big missile obviously results in  the same relief men feel after ejaculation. Simply put, these weapons of war are psychological replacements for sex. If the troops were not exposed to these objects, it’s more likely they’d return to their real purpose. To promote this idea, we are reviving that popular slogan from the 1960s protests, ‘Make love, not war’ for our next public protest. We are, after all, Women For Peace.”

    The folks at News2Share send us their work from last night when they covered Code Pink who has gone from supporting terrorists in the Middle East to supporting terrorists inside the United States by protesting at the NRA’s headquarters in Virginia.

    They staged a “die-in” to blame the NRA for the deaths in Orlando last weekend.

    According to WJLA, about 20 of the little ass-monkeys were arrested;

    “We are not trying to take away people’s hunting rifles. We are trying to take away assault weapons,” said Code Pink co-founder, Medea Benjamin.

    They credit the NRA for creating a culture that makes it too easy to purchase assault-style weapons. They believe tighter gun laws will decrease mass shootings.

    “The NRA is to blame. The NRA has poured millions of dollars into lobbying against sensible gun reform,” [Codepink co-director Alli] McCracken said.

    You know what? I’ve read hundreds of stories about people who were facing terrorists and there’s a common thread through all of those stories – they all said “I thought I was going to die” but none of them threw down their weapons like these clowns want us to do now.

    Mike Prysner at AIPAC

    Mike Prysner commie lovin punk

    We’ve talked about Mike Prysner several times since late 2009 when we got his military records. He founded ANSWER’s military wing, March Forward, when the Iraq Veterans Against the War weren’t radical (read that: socialist) enough for his tastes. He ran for congress as a candidate for the Party for Socialism and Liberty. Just last year, his former room mate, Kevin Baker, wrote about life with Prysner. Yesterday, he was at AIPAC with his Code Pink buddies protesting Donald Trump;

    Code Pink Against Trump

    Of course, the protesters were doing what they do best, provoking peaceful folks. There’s a video at Townhall wherein, the creatures attacked folks peacefully attending the conference. You can see him in the video at Townhall trying to assault the AIPAC attendees and being stopped by the police from that endeavor. Of course, Prysner turns that around and says that he was attacked;

    Prysner Tweet

    If he’s a journalist, I’m a media mogul. Prysner is an ANSWER provocateur, and he wishes that he’d been attacked. He’s also been involved with the Occupy Wall Street folks. He did serve in Iraq, but his tales of the horror that he witnessed are in doubt, because it’s unlikely that he ever left the wire.

  • Code Pink arrested at AIPAC convention

    Code Pink arrested at AIPAC convention

    The folks at News2Share send us a link to their coverage of a Code Pink protest yesterday at a American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention. Five of the stank-ass hippies were arrested as a result (you’ll probably want to turn down the volume before you watch these videos);

    “Its important to challenge AIPAC’s influence in Washington DC, and to show our strength in numbers today,” says Alli McCracken, CODEPINK’S National Organizer. CODEPINK and other pro-Palestine organizations are urging the US government to advocate for diplomacy with Iran and condemn Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip.

    […]

    “If you look at where we stand as a nation right now, and with all the violence that’s happening in the middle east, it’s a very scary time” [Medea] Benjamin says. “If these negotiations with Iran don’t come to fruition, that could mean a war with Iran. Unfortunately, AIPAC is adding fuel to the fire.”

    Some have criticized the Pro-Palestine movement as anti-Semetic. McCracken says this is not the case. “Criticizing the government policies of another country isn’t the same as criticizing an ethnicity or a religion” McCracken says. “You cannot conflate anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.”

    Funny how they don’t see Iran’s rhetoric about the destruction of Israel, or Hezbollah (Iran’s proxy in Lebanon) rocket and mortar attacks on Israel as “fuel to the fire”. And I wonder what that Iranian general was doing with Hezbollah on the Golan Heights a few weeks ago when he was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Probably trying to convince them to invest in his Amway business.

  • John McCain finds his inside voice

    John McCain finds his inside voice

    The Code Pink skanks showed up at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today which included some former Secretaries of State; Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, and George Shultz. The skanks were there to advocate for the arrest of Henry Kissinger, you know, because that’s all they have these days, some crap left over from the 70s. Well, John McCain told them “Get out of here you low life scum.”

    I’m surprised that McCain didn’t call for more troops to protect his hearing room, but, he didn’t…this time.

  • The anti-war whispers

    The anti-war whispers

    Medea Benjamin

    I know something about the anti-war protests of the last Iraq War, often times finding myself in the center armed with nothing but my camera. And, yeah, now that Obama has begun it’s second term safely, some of the anti-war creatures from the last decade’s protests are raising their slimy heads, a little. John Kerry spoke to them recently;

    If I were John Kerry, I wouldn’t mention his own history as an anti-war socket puppet. That’s what defeated him in the 2004 presidential election. I do, however, find it delicious irony that he has to school Code Pink on ISIS to get his point across and that they interrupt him during his windbag lecture pointing out their hypocrisy on the entire issue because they support ISIS.

    Howard Kurtz discusses the cautious whispers in the media against this, the latest deployment of troops to Iraq.

    These days, of course, the press seems to be prodding a reluctant president into war. The coverage of ISIS and the endless re-running of images from the beheading videos caused a surge in public support for airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. But not everyone in the fourth estate is saluting.

    Chris Matthews may be the most visible of the naysayers. He used his MSNBC show to deride “this wild, angry push for war, another one in the land of Islam.”

    There was more: “Here we go again, going in with all the field marshals of the op-ed pages urging us on. All the tongues, wagging, demanding, that the United States get itself right back in the middle of the latest outrage from Mesopotamia…

    “And yes, the bombs will work. People will die. There will be pictures in the world press of mothers holding babies and the wounded in their hospital beds, and there will be an outcry against us.”

    Yes, I don’t like this latest deployment, but not because I’m wringing my hands over the brutality of it all, but because, no matter how many US troops will find themselves in Iraq for this third war, they won’t be allowed to fight the war that needs to be fought – for the third time.

    But, here come the kneejerk anti-war crowd who only oppose war because it’s war and they’re on the heels of the knee-jerk Democrats who think that war can be managed and made palatable to the American public, despite the fact that they’re preparing us for five years or mare of war in Iraq, once again.

  • Code Pink: The Dumb War

    Code Pink: The Dumb War

    Code Pink Iraq

    Yesterday we asked where the human shields were for Iraq this time around. Some of you asked where Code Pink was on the whole ISIS thing. If you guessed that Code Pink would want the US to stop the beheadings and executions that ISIS is being accused of perpetrating in their newly founded Islamic Caliphate, well, you’d be wrong. From their email yesterday;

    August 8, 2014

    Dear Jonn,

    After he called years of US military involvement in Iraq “the dumb war,” today President Obama authorized airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq. Our heads are spinning: we’re bombing Iraq –– again.

    Tell the President now: Humanitarian aid, yes! Bombing, NO!!!!

    Why does our President want to take sides and get involved in a civil war? The US is not the target of ISIS, but if we become involved, we will be. President Obama’s concerns about the Iraqi humanitarian crisis and the safety of US personnel can be solved without dropping bombs. Helping the besieged civilians in Iraq should be an orchestrated international effort, not carried out just by the US–the country that unleashed the sectarian turmoil in the first place. And if American personnel in Irbil or elsewhere in Iraq are in harm’s way, they should be immediately evacuated to a safe location.

    Further US involvement will only make the situation worse. Learn more about the situation in Iraq in this Democracy Now segment with Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies. As she points out, it’s up to the Shi’ite Iraqi government ––not the US government–– to create a broad-based coalition that shows it is inclusive of the Sunni population, instead of alienating them and driving them to support ISIS.

    This is the way wars are started. It’s a slippery slope where humanitarian missions are the cloak for military intervention. We can be a part of the solution this time, not the problem, but that won’t happen with bombs. We’ve been there, done that, and it didn’t work. The American people are sick of war and the Iraqi people have suffered enough from our military aggression.

    Tell President Obama: Bombing is not humanitarian aid! Don’t drag us into another war in Iraq!

    With hope for peace in Iraq,

    Alli, Anastasia, Ben, Holly, Jodie, Janet, Medea, Nada, Nancy, Sophia, and Tighe

    Yeah, see, it’s a civil war. Al Qaeda is busy cutting off the heads of Christian children, raping and kidnapping Yazidi women and girls, so it’s no big deal. While I’m not real happy about American involvement in Iraq, but the humanitarian crisis there requires some leadership from somewhere. We don’t have any real leaders, so we have to go to war with what we have.

    But this is not my shocked face that Code Pink is going to bat for the Islamic State. After all, that’s the side they’ve been on since their founding. At least they’re consistent.
