On CODEPINK's most recent trip to Gaza, the glimmer of hope we found among people in Gaza was the Obama administration. Many were upset that Obama did not speak out during the invasion and that peace envoy George Mitchell, on his first trip to the Middle East, did not visit Gaza or even Syria. But they felt that Mitchell was a good choice and Obama, if given the space by the American people, could play a positive role. Who can provide that space for Obama? Who can respond to the call for justice from the Palestinian people? Who can counter AIPAC, the powerful lobby that supports Israeli aggression? An organized, mobilized, coordinated grassroots movement is the critical counterforce— and we need you to stand with us and do your part for peace!
As Sholom Schwartzbard, a member of Jews Against the Occupation, explained at a New York City protest, “We know from our own history what being sealed behind barbed wire and checkpoints is like, and we know that ‘Never Again’ means not anyone, not anywhere - or it means nothing at all.” A peaceful and just resolution of the tragedy of occupation, now in its 42nd year, will be a relief and blessing to Israel as well as to the Palestinians.

Quoting Scorpio359:
CODEPINK is a dispicable group of traitors. They are an insane group of antiAmericans who want to degrade our military. Our young men and women fight so this group of idiots and ungrateful individuals can go around and spread their garbage. I say kick them out of the country and let them go live with the terrorists. Let them spend 6 months living in unspeakable conditions in fear of their lives from Hamas. As for Palestine they support the terrorists. Of course Obama gives aide to Palestine because he too wants America to fall and be under a govt controlled system. You ladies who support codepink do not support our troops and you expect us to like you?
From Wikipedia:
Code Pink: Women for Peace is an anti-war group that is mainly composed of women. It has regional offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, and Washington DC, and many more U.S. chapters as well as several worldwide.[1] Code Pink describes itself as a "grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect [government] resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities."[2] With members wearing the group's signature pink color,[3] Code Pink has conducted marches, protests, and high-visibility publicity stunts in order to achieve its goals. Although women initiated and lead the group, men are welcome to participate at both the local and national level.
Code Pink organizes annual rallies on Mothers Day and St. Valentine's Day. On Mother's Day 2006, Code Pink organized a 24-hour gathering in Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, which was attended and supported by activists such as Cindy Sheehan, Susan Sarandon and Patch Adams.[20] For Valentine's Day they organize kiss-ins in which members are encouraged to assemble outside military recruitment centers and kiss; as well as holding up banners with slogans such as "Make out, not war!" and "Love the troops, Hate the War".[21] Members are also asked to hand out flyers challenging the representations of military recruiters. According to the Code Pink website, "For example, the flyers claim that recruiters tell potential recruits their chance of being sent to a combat zone is slim. In contrast, according to the flyers, almost all recruits will be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan." [22]
I may not always agree with their tactics, but their anti-war mission is commendable. They aren't the anti-American terrorists you portray them to be.

You can be anti-war and still support the troops. The women I have met in Codepink do NOT respect or support the troops. They degrade them and treat them like criminals. They deface property (the local recruiting station had its windows spraypainted pink and had had their posters outside written over and destroyed). They hold protests here screaming and singing songs about how Marines are Murders and deserve to die... How is that okay? They seem pretty Anti-American to me. They are all hateful human beings and are not commendable in ANY way.

I MET THE CODEPINK LADIES AT A SEMINAR IN A CONFERENCE ROOM, SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY DO OR DO NOT DO IN PUBLIC. FROM WHAT I SAW, THEY WERE REALLY COMMITTED WOMEN TO THEIR CAUSE.
PERSONALLY, I DO NOT BLAME AMERICAN SOLDIERS FOR OUR WAR-MONGERING WAYS - THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB. I DO NOT BLAME THEM FOR OUR DECISION TO PRE-EMPTIVELY STRIKE THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST. NOR DO I BLAME THEM FOR OUR DECISION TO USE DRONES TO BOMB WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS, NO MATTER HOW MANY INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN GETS OBLITERATED. I BLAME THE LEADERSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS HIGHLY MISGUIDED - MOSTLY BY THE LIKES OF AIPAC.

Very true Scorpio....I have done extensive research into Codepink. During the 80's the likes of these ppl. were called " pink communists " They are communist sympathizers + they donate lotz of money to these very causes & Dictators like Hugo Chavez.....Raul/Fidel Castro etc.... They have no respect for the American Military...period!

A co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, which has made a name for itself by interrupting hearings on Capitol Hill, is a fundraising bundler for Barack Obama.
Jodie Evans has pledged to raise at least $50,000 for Obama, according the Democrat's campaign site.

Thank you. I have heard of many brave men and women that enlisted AFTER the war started because they wanted to help in the war. If some don't support in what they believe in, how can they say they support the troops. Or do they just support the pansies that joined pre-war for the soul reason of benefits such as a college education, that are now crying 'foul' because they actually have to earn it now. If people have faith, belief, and support our troops then they need to have faith, belief, and support for what they're fighting for.
