Has anyone heard Medea B. of Code Pink talk down to all Veterans as I did tonight. Code Pink is anti Military and those who have served. Pure hatred to those of us who served in so many wars and operations.

I have never listen to her but from the articles below ,she doesn't sound like the nicest person.

Medea Benjamin (Code Pink)

Benjamin has been criticized from both the left and the right.

Support for Cuba and Venezuela

Benjamin has drawn conservative criticism for her support of Hugo Chavez and her attacks on the U.S. embargo of Fidel Castro's Cuba. Conservative writer David Horowitz's FrontPageMag has attacked her as "a long-time Castro acolyte," and written:

"

Many of the causes that Ms. Benjamin espouses are Communist in nature. The Washington "peace" rally at which she spoke last month, for instance, was organized by the Workers World Party, a Communist organization... In years past, she staunchly opposed US military aid to those fighting against Communist forces in Central America... She favors the creation of a government-sponsored universal health care system funded by taxpayer dollars. She exhorts the US government to lift its trade embargo against Cuba - a nation she notably lauds as a place where people have managed to "thrive despite the odds" against them.^[6]^[7]

"

Benjamin has said that the charge in sections of the U.S. media that Hugo Chavez had cracked down on free speech and civil rights in Venezuela was a "myth."^[8] In an interview with Tucker Carlson on MSNBC, Benjamin was asked, "Do you want to revise that given the news that Hugo Chavez has closed the last nationally broadcast opposition television station for criticizing him?" Benjamin replied that it was not true and that what happened was that Chavez simply did not renew the license because the station "participated in a coup against a democratically elected government, his [Chavez's] government."

One of her last involvements with security was the below; maybe they should have kept her for awhile.

On December 4, 2007 she was arrested at gunpoint by plainclothes police in Lahore, Pakistan, detained by the ISI for eight hours, and deported after protesting the house arrest of lawyers (including Aitzaz Ahsan) in Lahore, Pakistan

It is ironic that we live in this great country where the very people and way of life this turdbucket runs in the ground, is the very reason they can say and do the things against us and our country. These people would not be allowed these freedoms in their beloved communist states. If it was left up to me they would be expelled from this country and sent to those communist brother and sisters they think so highly of. None of them are worth the powder and lead it would take to blow their freaking heads off.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

and

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Just food for thought.
