The above photo shows Jodie Evans along with Cindy Sheehan fawning over
Hugo Chavez the notorious Communist Venezuelan Dictator
(Evans is to the right of Sheehan).
Jodie Evans of Code Pink a big money bundler for Barack Obama is a supporter of Hugo Chavez.
Obama received $50,000 from Code Pink, Evans’ far left organization.
Evans is anti-(American) Military.
Code Pink has been leading the anti-war movement and has attacked American members of the military.
More from Human Events on Evans and her involvement with the Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign:
…
Evans and her son, a student who lives at her Southern California address, each also gave the maximum individual allowable donation of $2,300 to Obama’s campaign.
The donations have raised questions about Obama’s association with the more radical elements of his base. Code Pink has harassed, vandalized and impeded military recruiters across the United States in a campaign it calls “counter-recruitment.” The group also gave $600,000 to the families of Iraqi terrorists in Fallujah, whom it called “insurgents” fighting for their homes.
Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, Move America Forward,
Military Families Voice of Victory, The Band of Mothers and FreeRepublic.com, issued a statement this week saying Obama should cut ties to his radical bundler.“Barack Obama’s judgment to be commander-in-chief is seriously in question because of his association with Code Pink’s Jodie Evans and her war against the American military,” the groups said in a joint statement. “If Sen. Obama wants to earn the trust of the American people to send their sons and daughters in harm’s way, he should immediately renounce Evans and return all contributions associated with her.”
Obama’s campaign did not respond to repeated attempts to get comment on the latest controversy to hit his campaign.
“As somebody who has stood toe-to-toe with Code Pink, I am sickened that Senator Obama would accept large donations from the leader of the hateful, anti-American group,” said Melanie Morgan, chairman of Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop group.
Code Pink has also waged a campaign of psychological warfare against
America’s wounded warriors and their families by protesting at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center, targeting them with signs bearing messages such as
“Maimed for a lie” and “Enlist here and die for Halliburton,” the joint statement from pro-troops groups said.Evans has a long history as a political organizer for radical causes and as a Democratic operative. She also worked for former California Gov. Jerry Brown, who is now the state’s attorney general.
Evans sat on the board of directors of the Rain Forest Action Network (RAN), a coalition of capitalist-hating environmentalist groups. The cofounder of RAN also founded the violent and radical Animal Liberation Front, which the FBI listed as one of the largest domestic terrorism threats in the United States.
The FBI reported that RAN and the Earth Liberation Front committed more than 600 criminal acts and racked up $43 million in damages over seven years.
Evan’s radical ideology fit with the other founders of Code Pink, which is notorious for its attempts to shut down the Berkeley Marine Recruiting Center, occupying congressional offices, intimidating families of soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq, attacking opponents and disrupting Congress while dressed in Pepto Bismol-colored outfits.

Conservative groups are asking that the Obama Campaign return the $50,000 contribution back to Code Pink. Will news outlets such as NBC/MSNBC, ABC, CBS,CNN or PBS cover this? Highly doubtful.
Hat tip to Newsbusters.

Wow… if this hits the mainstream news Barack will be cooked. Rev. Wright + recent statements + Hugo Chavez = losing the nomination.
What on Earth has Obama to do with this donation! Why can’t conservative groups give it a day and stop attacking Obama. It’s a pity that certain American groups, like Code Pink, aren’t even allowed anymore to vote for their favourite presidential candidate. Americans are run by fear….and fear only. ‘Liberalism’ has become a dirty word in US Politics, while in fact some decades ago Democrats were in fact more liberal than Conservatives (Kennedy, Carter).
If conservative groups keep blocking presidential candidates like John Kerry and now Barack Obama, then the USA is heading towards a closed society in which only one political party and its ideology are running the country: the conservatives. And please, don’t let conservatives run the USA anymore. They are destroying their own government. They will never control the financial situation in the country. In fact: America’s economy is run by dirty-money bankers instead of a capable government.
Result: the worst economical situation in the USA since 1929………..and they bring all European countries with them into hell.
A worried voice from Europe!

So? Does every campaign do a background check on a person prior to accepting donations? It’s ridiculous to assume that the ideology of people who donate to a campaign is somehow superimposed upon the candidate. This woman’s policy is her own, unless it can be proved that she is getting favors or illegal promises in exchange for her donations.
And to Harrison (above)… Obama already has the DEM nomination. This whole “continuing contest” is just a media show.

Stay out of American Politics. Worry about your own country.
That one of the most stupid story I have ever read, thank you, it was funny loll chavez-gate lollll pathetic Nothing intelligent to say to such bad article. sorry
Are you kidding me? Be prepared to open this gigantic can of worms on McCain and Clinton too if you really want to go there. This idiotic story started from Malkin? Typically typical.
There is nothing mentioned in this piece about this woman doing anything illegal or even unethical. It seems to me, that she simply holds political views that are contrary to the author’s. She is free to donate her own money to the candidate of her choosing even if the author would prefer her to support somebody else. Not sure why that would be newsworthy to any legitimate news outlet.
Like a performer in the Dance of the Seven Veils Obama reveals himself one tantalizing layer at a time. Read a one time obama fanrecount the milestones on his hard road to disillusionment with the great American Savior at the “Chris Matthews Other Leg” blog at
http://chrismatthewsotherleg.blogspot.com or click above on my name.
What happened to the freedom of speech? Does the author still believe in democracy? By his logic over 75 % of the Americans are anti-American because they do not believe in the perverted policies of the current administration. Wow!
Keep in mind that this nonsense was posted by the same person who just called Jimmy Carter a traitor. In other words, fact-free.
I wonder if only those who do no homework, like pro-Hilary and pro-McCain, are that stuck on stupid. How do you think your beloved George Bush got in office?

The liberal commentoers on this page make much use of red herrings and straw-men.
No one has said that Code Pink is not allowed to excercise their rights. But I want to know who that far left group supports, so I can support their opponents. Code Pink has behaved reprehensibly. People should know who they support.
McCain is best for America. Obama is a disaster waiting to happen.
