You may remember Code Pink as the moonbat cult that raised $600,000 for the terrorists who were killing their fellow Americans in Fallujah.
The Battle of Fallujah is over, but Code Pink’s struggle to undermine our country continues. The latest front in their war against America is a “counter-recruitment” campaign that calls for sabotage and disruption directed at military recruiting offices.
According to Code Pink:
Holding an action outside a recruitment center can have a huge effect on potential enlistees, recruiters, and passersby. It is a highly effective method of community education and empowerment, and has been shown to drive recruiters out of areas, from a block to a city.
Helpful tips are offered to those who would like to undermine their own military in time of war:
- Pass out anti-US propaganda leaflets.
- Make an appointment with a recruiter as a way of ensuring that the office will be open when the “action” is to take place.
- Hold a “die in” — i.e., lie on the sidewalk and refuse to move so that police have to come and drag you away at taxpayers’ expense.
- Stage a “mourning march,” which should include pink crosses, tombstones, and a prop coffin.
- Form a “resistance line” in front of the doorway so that no one can get into the recruiting office.
- Really get under people’s skin by singing moronic songs.
If you are wondering what kind of person would encourage this behavior, DiscoverTheNetworks.org has some interesting information on Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, a hard-left mental case considered to be a chief organizing force behind the 1999 Seattle riots that caused millions of dollars worth of senseless destruction. A little background reading on Benjamin and her merry band of maniacs quickly makes it clear that Code Pink and the anti-war movement in general are not so much opposed to war as to America, and to the freedom America represents.

The money they raised, which according to their website was $100,000, was for humanitarian aid primarily medical, blankets for children for refugees. It really isn’t fair to call women and children -well at least children-terrorists. Some of these women have lost thier sons to the war. They are in pain. If you must attack them then at least do so honestly.

Carol, thanks for stopping by a giving us the Official Monday Morning Moonbat Squeal.
In fact I was dealing with one of these goofballs yesterday, and much like you, they have a simpering view of things with a decidely anti-American bias……(the one I dealt with yesterday gave us all a good lesson in demonstrating, with talk of gas masks soaked in lemon juice to counter tear-gas and escape route planning….all the hallmarks of PINK-o commie tactics), and actually interfering with commerce is NOT an American activity, but a communist one.
Interfering with recruiters is the same as interfering with a businessman, but in this case instead of interfering with someone trying to make a dollar and costing that person money these guys are interfering with recruiters and costing TAXPAYERS money.
Perhaps they should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law under RICO for basically commiting fruad against the government, (when they make appointments), or for defacing government property when they pull their little stunts all the way to down to “interfering with a government official in the course of carrying out their appointed duties”.
If I were a cop that is exactly what I would do.

And VH….great post. I checked out code pinks site and may write a counter0counter recruitment song to counter the perfectly sucky and stupid ones they have attempted to pen.

I still say that there’s got to be some little corner in the Patriot Act or somewhere that should give DOJ good cause to go after these mindless zealots on security or anti-terrorism grounds. I DEMAND an investigation into their financial shenanigans, at the very least. Blankets for babies my arse.

Carol, do you really mean that? We cannot call people terrorists if they commit terrorist acts but are female or children? And all their actions are OK if they’ve lot a child in a war?

Cheers Cheers Cheers! Great Post…The pictures say a great deal don’t they…To think that people have died and die so these people have the freedom to do this…Shame on each and everyone of them…Surely there are better ways they could help if they weren’t really more interested in spewing Ant-american hatred.

I can’t wait until I am retired, then I can violently protest them back.

Carol, the $600,000 figure didn’t come out of my hat; I got it from Code Pink via Turkish Press. But I’m sure you’re right that the cash went for blankets for children — so that the nice terrorists could cover up the mutilated corpses of the little bodies their IEDs keep ripping to shreds. But I’m forgetting, terrorists would never have that much decency, and in any case civilians had been evacuated from Fallujah (at significant strategic cost to the USA).
Kender, great idea about the counter counter recruitment song.

Un.be.lievable. People have really fallen for the “dissent is patriotic meme” when it used to be punishable by death. It was called “treason”.

I couldn’t wait to put up that picture, lol…
Check out Moonbattery.com or TWA for the news on this stupid idiotic anti-american group of scumbags. What I found most disturbing about them is this:
You may…
