A Pinko Speaks
I caught Laura Ingraham this morning as she was interviewing Jodie Evans of the whacko leftist group Code Pink Women for Pink. It was about as bad as you might think.
I've had numberous encounters with Code Pink and other leftist groups, and if you'd like to about them go to the sidebar and select "Rallies and Protests"
Laura is one of my favorite talk-show hosts, and as usual she was at her best. She exposed Jodi Evens and her group for the "useful idiots" they are.
I tried to write down some of what I heard. The exact wording is not going to be correct, and much is left out, but I did get the meaning of the conversation, or inverview. Here are a few snipets:
Laura: How should we fight terrorism? What is your plan?Jodie: We need to get out of Iraq.
Laura: Why do you think we should leave Iraq?
Jodie: To end terrorism there.
Laura: What were you doing in the 1990s, when Saddam was killing his own people?
Jodie: We were against the sanctions. The sanctions gave Saddam power. Terrorism will not end until we leave Iraq.
Laura: What about Afghanistan?
Jodie: We trained bin Laden and created the Taliban
Laura: Why won't you condemn the terrorists? I've asked you several times about this and you keep evading me(as I said, I tuned in part way through the interview)!
Jodie: What the terrorists are doing is terrible
Laura: Finally!
Again, this is not at all meant to be an exact transcript, but does catch the flavor of the interview. Every time Laura would ask Jodie about terrorism or the situation in Iraq, or for matter just anything having to do with the global WOT, all Jodie would say was "We need to get out of Iraq". What a broken record.
Last year the invaluable Christopher Hitchens had something to say about people who were against the sanctions, and then opposed our invasion of Iraq:
A few years ago, many of the same liberals and leftists were quoting improbable if not impossible numbers of dead Iraqi children, murdered by the international sanctions imposed on Saddam Hussein. Even at its most propagandistic, this contained an important moral point: Iraqi civilians were suffering for the sins of their dictatorship (and from the lavish corruption of the U.N. supervision of the "oil-for-food" program). OK, then, we'll remove the regime and lift the sanctions. Happy now? Not at all! It turns out that 1) the Saddam regime was only a threat invented by neo-cons and that 2) we don't owe the Iraqi people a thing. Also, we could use the money ourselves.This would mean that all the protest about dead and malnourished Iraqi infants was all for show. Surely that can't be right?
Afraid so, Hitch.

I caught this interview myself Red and she made the pinko idiot look like a fool, which isn't too hard to do.

Code Pink and their ilk, sicken me. They cannot seem to see the damage they are doing to the troops they supposedly support. Or, maybe that is the point, to do damage.

You could substitute "Bush lied!" for "we need to get out of Iraq!" and the conversation would have been the same. Moonbats. Endless entertainment!
