BHO hearts Code Pink

Barack Obama urged to renounce terror supporter contribution.

Gotta love those FReepers. Heh.

The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, an independent grassroots group comprised of veterans, military families and other patriotic Americans, is urging Senator Barack Obama to renounce a $2300 contribution to his presidential campaign by terrorist supporter Jodie Evans of Venice, California.

The Washington City Paper reports in its current issue that Ms. Evans is co-founder of a group that publicly supports the terrorist-led insurgency in Iraq against Americans and free Iraqis:
Drawing perhaps the most fire is Code Pink's support for the Iraqi insurgency that has killed more than 3,700 American soldiers and wounded nearly 30,000 since post-combat operations began there in May of 2003.

The group's co-founder, Jody (sic) Evans, was an international observer at the World Tribunal on Iraq in June 2005. The Tribunal culminated in a statement signed by ativists (sic) from 10 countries that characterized the insurgency as "legitimate and justified" and called for war crimes charges against Bush and other world leaders who backed the U.S. invasion.

Ms. Evans, who markets herself to the media as a peace activist, issued the following statement regarding her support for the terrorist-led insurgency in Iraq while at the tribunal: "We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and defending their right to resist. I can remain
myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. The Iraqi people are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are
fighting for lies." (AlterNet, June 26, 2005)

Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, issued the following statement regarding Ms. Evans' contribution to Sen. Obama: "Barack Obama has a credible chance to be the next commander-in-chief of America's armed forces. The leader of our military
must have the confidence of the American people that he is not in bed with America's enemies. It is therefore incumbent upon Sen. Obama that he immediately repudiate the $2300 terrorist supporter Jodie Evans has contributed to his presidential campaign. Rather than return her blood money to Ms. Evans, the money should be given to a troop support organization of Sen. Obama's choice.

"Should Sen. Obama elect to keep Ms. Evans' contribution, it will tell the American people that he shares her support for the terrorist-led insurgency in Iraq."

Jodie's other $ faves:

Among the recipients of her blood money are the 2008 presidential campaigns of former Sen. John Edwards and Gov. Bill Richardson, and the 2004 presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry. Ms. Evans has also contributed heavily to the Progressive Patriots Fund which has funded the campaigns of Code Pink ally Sen. Jim Webb and other senators including Bernie Sanders, Tim Johnson, Bob Casey, Mary Landrieu, and Ben Nelson.
