Home in San Francisco, Pelosi Gets the Crawford Treatment

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12 — San Francisco, meet Crawford, Tex.

Using a tactic usually trained on the home turf of President Bush, a group of protesters from Code Pink, a women’s antiwar group, have camped in front of the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi here, bringing their message — and mattresses — to the doorstep of the nation’s highest-ranking Democrat.

The protest, which began Sunday afternoon with dozens of demonstrators, is just Code Pink’s latest effort to engage Ms. Pelosi, who the group feels has not gone far enough or fast enough to get the troops home from Iraq.

“The point is to keep showing our dissatisfaction,” said Toby Blome, 51, a protest organizer who sported a frilly pink apron and pink skirt. “It’s hard to do on our own, but I know I speak for millions of people.”

By Monday afternoon, however, Ms. Blome was speaking for exactly three people: herself and two other tired-looking protesters. One of those was Leslie Angeline, 50, who said she had slept till about 4 a.m. outside Ms. Pelosi’s three-story red-brick home.

“It was O.K.,” Ms. Angeline said, “till the sprinkler system went off.”

San Franciscans are needed to help Ghandi Brigade and Code Pink hold a 24hour vigil in front of Nancy Pelosi's residence in SF urging the passage of HR 508, the Out of Iraq Bill introduced by Woolsey and to DEFEAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL.

Besides their anti-war stance, Code Pink is also pro-Castro and pushes for normalization of relations with Cuba...hence the pink color. They've sponsored and organized a number of tours to Cuba, allowing their political activists to meet with Cuban leaders.

And here we thought the left-wing nutjobs just hated Bush! Now we know they hate everyone except themselves.

Day Three - Meeting Chavez

Day Three - Meeting Chavez
By Medea Benjamun, CODEPINK Co-Founder

Today a group of us from Global Exchange and CODEPINK were among the delegates invited to hear Hugo Chavez speak at a stadium in Caracas. The stadium was filled with Venezuelan fans of the president and people from the World Social Forum.

On the stage with the president were activists and revolutionaries from around the world, including Aleida Guevara, the daughter of Che Guevara; Ricardo Alarcon, the head of the Cuban National Assembly; and leaders from Asia, Haiti and other parts of Latin America.

"The one person on the stage representing the United States was our dear Cindy Sheehan, who the president greeted warmly and with great respect."

Honest Question:

Can we possibly be right and the rest of the world (or most of it) wrong about our President?

We????????

This country is overwhelmingly against the CinC's policies. The only we that are still supporting them are the ones that have AR 88 hanging over their heads.

Honest Question:

Can an avowed Communist front organization actually gain credibility by wrapping itself up in pink and declaring itself to be an "anti-war" movement?

Who cares? They have 3 of them still at that protest. They're not that big of a threat to anyone but themselves (if it's a cold day in SF today).

But the bigger question is the world's proletariat (European, Latin American, Canadian, South American, Asian, African, etc.) mostly despise America and primarily because of the "face" of our nation (way more so than us just being "No. 1" or whatever).

Some neo-nazis have speculated in anti-Jewish rhetoric that not everyone could have been wrong for 6,000 years. While that's clearly hate-inspired and annecdotal rhetoric, try applying that to our current administration. They are hated/loathed/distrusted by large swaths of citizenry in friendly countries (including our closest allies).

Over the years, I've visited the Code Pink site and watched it evolve.

It used to be that the first thing they stated, up front, was that they were a communistic/socialistic movement dedicated to the normalization of relations with Cuba and the establishment of a worker's paradise in Latin America and the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

You go to their site now and they've done a complete makeover, painting themselves as a solely an anti-war group. You have to dig to find what they really represent. So, they're selling themselves as one thing, deceptively masking what they really are.

Yeah, there was three of them left at Pelosi's house by Monday afternoon...how many in their last march on Washington and their last camp out at Crawford?

CodePink has established another website, under yet another name, to attack Hillary Clinton. They've been showing up in costumes to heckle and (their words) "Bird Dog Hillary" at every speaking engagement for a year.

They've established another website...again, what's up with a different name every time...called PelosiWatch:

Its not a question of right or wrong. It is a question of American dominance or not.

Does most of the rest of the world want the US to be the dominant force? The answer is a resounding no.

Chavez is an old fashioned dictator using socialism to consolidate his personal power. What I find extremely funny is how easily American socialists can be duped by such obvious means. Venezuelan citizens living in 'ranchitas' surrounding Caracas can be forgiven the mistake given their circumstances of extreme poverty and zero education.

Any American with an education past the fifth grade should be capable of spotting Chavez' brand of tyranny instantly.

It is the foundation of this country yet we have large segments who can be fooled into believing the false promises of tyrants and who see evil in free enterprise and a strong republic.

That and they don't like the Jews.

Three people? I can get ten times that number by offering free BBQ and beer.

The protest started with over 50 people on Sunday. By Monday afternoon, they were down to three.
