Friends of Barack Obama: Jodie Evans

Ben Johnson at FrontPage Magazine:

IF THE MEDIA WERE COMPETENT, THE NAME JODIE EVANS would be as well-known as Jeremiah Wright.

According to Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen, Evans has bundled “at least $50,000” in donations for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. “Bundling” is a process in which people turn over a large number of “individual” political contributions as a group, in the hope of exerting greater influence if their candidate is elected.
...
And who is Jodie Evans? A former political appointee of Jerry Brown during his tenure as governor of California and his presidential campaigns, Evans briefly made headlines in 2003 by arranging for women to claim Arnold Schwarzenegger groped them. However, she has kept lower company for the last few years. Her official biography states “her life has been consumed with Codepink: Women for Peace since September of 2002.”

In fact, Evans is a co-founder of the antiwar radical groupCode Pink with Medea Benjamin. As I reported at the time, Evans and Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to “the other side” in Fallujah in December 2004. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA, signed the letter to get them to that city, a recent battlefield and stronghold for terrorists killing American soldiers.

Ah, for sheer treason and terrorist loving, there's nothing that can beat the Pinkies. There's more about Code Pink in the article, but Jodie has been a busy girl elsewhere too:

As Jean Pearce has noted on FrontPage, Evans is also institutionally tied to Mike Roselle through as a Director of the Rainforest Action Network. Roselle is the founder of the domestic terrorist organization Earth Liberation Front (ELF), “which along with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is ranked the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat by the FBI. The FBI attributes over 600 criminal acts and $43 million in damages to the two groups since 1996.”

Now she has found a new champion: Barack Obama. If he has any sense of decency, Obama should repudiate Evans. At a minimum, he should return her bundled contributions.

I'm not holding my breath since ole Barack says he can't "disown" any of his terrorist loving pals like Jeremiah Wright, but it does raise the question of what these hard core leftists and terrorist sympathizers find so appealing in Barack Obama.

It is significant that Obama, his lapel stripped of any American flag pin, is a magnet for anti-American radicals like Evans, Wright, and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama’s platform for near-instantaneous withdrawal from Iraq has increased his stock with Code Pink volunteers and, undoubtedly, their Iraqi counterparts. When those who hate this country need a domestic political front, they know who to call on: the Party of Defeat. Following Obama’s instructions, Jodie Evans has placed her “hope” in him. She longs for Americans to buy into his vapid elocutions and meaningless platitudes. And she is willing to put their money where her mouth is.

Can you say "He's one of them"? I knew you could!

More reason to be bitter, fellow hicks

If we weren't bitter hicks with all that tacky guns, God and patriotism baggage, we would be courted by the Democrat party bigs like this - Party Girl: Chelsea Clinton Cuts Loose With 2,000 Gay Men in Red Dresses

Yes, Chelsea Clinton made it to the infamous "Red Dress" Party.

Not to be confused with that other annual "Red Dress" fundraiser, this is the "Red Dress Party," a mondo-alcohol-fueled dance party where nearly 2,000 gay men in various states of red dress undress (and several nearly naked straight men as well as one very colorfully decorated naked woman) invade a warehouse in Northeast Portland and dance their collective asses off to pounding disco music and the incredible Storm Large and her Balls (they were beyond fabulous). Large, a bigtime Obama supporter even dedicated one of her more infamous songs, Ladylike, to Chelsea's mama.

Unfortunately, Chelsea was only there for a photo-op and did not engage Ms. Large in fisticuffs, mud wrestling, or competition disrobing. And in case you were wondering, yes, the Clintons do pimp Chelsea out.

Create your own Obama logo!

Some rather naive Obama supporters have set up a site called logobama where you can create your own stylish Obama logo with a picture that you provide. Predictably, the comedians have been enjoying it as you can see from the above. Think of it as speaking truth to snobs, er power.

Fun with Barack Obama, the snob

The best way to deal with the pretensions of the swells in the Democrat party who claim to know what's really good for us little people is to laugh at them.

Très chic, dahlings!

You simply must have one of these posters for when the Red Diaper Baby comes through the servant's entrance to entertain your closest friends at a soirée in your fabulous Billionaire's Row mansion!

Elite Obama trashes country folks

I don't know about you, but I really appreciate it when a leftoid politician like Barack Obama, who has never done an honest day's work in his life, takes time out from his busy social whirl (not to mention stocking his mansion's 1,000 bottle wine cellar and adding to his wife's diamond jewelry and Jimmy Choo shoe collection) to offer his analysis of what's wrong with us little people to an audience of San Francisco swells.

The gist of Obama's remarks seems to be that lack of jobs for the last 25 years makes us small town hicks bitter and thereby prone to worship God, buy guns, and want to protect our country from third world nations dropping their unwanted citizens and shoddy trade goods on us. Earth to Barack: folks in the country have jobs, thanks. You must be confusing them with your welfare queen constituents on the South Side of Chicago. As for God, Guns, and Old Glory - that hasn't changed in more years than you have been alive and will continue long after you have gone. And whining about religion and xenophobia is a little hypocritical for a bosom chum of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Still, the big question is why the Obamessiah put his foot in it so badly. We all know that limousine liberals disdain the little people, but usually they take more care to conceal it. Mickey Kaus speculates:

I used to think working class voters had conservative values because they were bitter about their economic circumstances--welfare and immigrants were "scapegoats," part of the false consciousness that would disappear when everyone was guaranteed a good job at good wages. Then I left college. ...

P.S.: Because Obama's comments are clearly a Category II Kinsley Gaffe--in which the candidate accidentally says what he really thinks--it will be hard for Obama to explain away. [He could say he was tired and it was late at night?--ed But he was similarly condescending in his big, heartfelt, well-prepared "race speech" when he explained white anger over welfare and affirmative action as a displacement of the bitterness that comes when whites

are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away; in an era of stagnant wages and global competition ...

Obama's new restatement confirms the Marxist Deskwork interpretation of the race speech, removing any honest doubt as to his actual attitude.

Yup, that works for me too. Barry O apparently really believes this stuff based on his Red Diaper baby upbringing and schooling and wants everybody else to believe it too. When folks don't follow the Obama line there's a hidden economic reason for it. Can you say, "Out of touch?" I knew you could! On the other hand, Karl Marx must be sitting up in his grave and barking like a seal.

Osama getting bored waiting for Obama to be elected

Hanging around the cave waiting for the Obamessiah to show up to apologize is apparently getting to Osama bin Laden, but he has been trying hard to dispel the cabin fever as shown in his latest video:



Osama looks pretty good for a guy taking a dirt nap.

Gosh, I like a post on MyDD!

MyDD generally purveys leftoid drivel, but I was entranced by *Video* - An "ad" that ends Obama's chances in Nov.:



Think of it this way: Obama is the left wing fruitcake we have been waiting for.

Today's Hoot: It's easy to observe Earth Hour

Just follow the lead of ecoweenie Cate Blanchett! Local Oaf summarizes:

So all you have to do to be part of Earth Hour is to use all the energy earlier on, allowing you to be virtuous during the specified hour.

On that basis, I’ve been having my own personal Earth Hour every day for decades between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.!

Who knew saving Mother Gaia could be so easy?

Hillary's really scary flight into Bosnia

It's really neat that the MSM have finally discovered that the Clintons lie although one can't help wonder how they overlooked that fact for the last quarter century or so. However, the news twisters have the story on wrong on Hillary's flight into Bosnia - it really was darn scary!
