More interesting were the comments on that particular post on the delicacies involved in the Posada issue. Although the Left likes to paint with a broad bush, the discussion in that particular thread proves that the Cuban American community is not a homogeneous vote.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway, I didn&#8217;t post on the rally because the bloggers at Babalu and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com\/2008\/01\/code-pink-gang-rushed-in-little-havana.html\">Gateway Pundit<\/a> had pretty much covered it all. Until I saw the above picture in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/breaking_news\/story\/378653.html\">Miami Herald<\/a> this morning. And read the quote from Code Pink&#8217;s founder Susan Benjamin;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8221;The Bush administration&#8217;s failure to detain or extradite Luis Posada Carriles makes a mockery of the war on terror,&#8221; said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CodePink.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I sat in stunned silence for about 15 minutes. How dare this ignorant POS even use the phrase &#8220;mockery of the war on terror&#8221; when refering to anything except itself and the POS members of Code Pink? Obviously, the worst case of projection in recent human history.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen Code Pink POS even at the protests against the Myanmar government&#8217;s embassy in DC blaming the mistreatment of the Burmese on Bush, for pete&#8217;s sake. If anyone has made a mockery of the War against Terror, it&#8217;s Code Pink.<\/p>\n<p>I admire the Cuban-American Community for their restraint. Tearing bunting from a Code Pink float should be considered an act of kindness in the face of what Code Pink insinuates by being on Calle Ocho &#8211; that the Cuban American community are terrorists themselves.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image977\" alt=\"code_pink_1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/code_pink_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo from the Miami Herald Yesterday, I read on Babalu Blog about the Code Pink Demonstration &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;A Mockery of the War on Terror&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1089\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;A Mockery of the War on Terror&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,28,5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-bloggers-and-stuff","category-politics","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
