Irony Alert: Code Pinko Founder Medea Benjamin Calls On The Marines For Help

This story just floors me.

The source for it is an email to MAF’s Melanie Morgan from Eamon Kelley, the young Marine who is featured in Move America Forward’s TV commercial.

*****

Melanie Morgan:

CodePink has set up a virtual blockade at the recruiting center, expanding it’s efforts to harass our troops and turn back young Americans looking to enlist. (The Berkeley City Council stubbornly refuses to apologize and continues subsidizing free parking for CodePink efforts to drive our soldiers out of town.) Eamon, who is recovering from back surgery, gutted it out under blazing skies in the boycotted town.

He sent me this e-mail after spending four hours there.

Titter Meter: HIGH.

“While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 PM a white volvo drove by and a man spat upon code pink. They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation. The police were NO WHERE in sight. That’s not the best part, ready for this? Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” she actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. Lol. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen (the Marine vet) Ironic? Ok back to the emails!! “

Yes, ironic, considering she is on record as saying:

I don’t think I need soldiers.

MAF’s Melanie Morgan is scheduled to appear on The O’Reilly Factor, tonight.

Ahmadinejad: Iran Number One World Power

This is the guy that Obama wants to hold talks with:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared on Thursday that Iran was the world’s “number one” power, as he launched a bitter new assault on domestic critics he accused of siding with the enemy. “Everybody has understood that Iran is the number one power in the world,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech to families who lost loved ones in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

Then he delicately added:

“Today the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful and it puts them in their place”.

Alrighty then!

According to Obama, it’s “a disgrace” that we “have not spoken” to this man. How does he expect to negotiate (and with no precondition!) with this delusional wacko, I ask you?

I like Breitbart commenter, Realist’s  attitude:

I don’t know, Ahmadinejad. I may be a little slow, but I’m just not convinced your country is #1. Perhaps we should just duke it out… US vs Iran, Mano y mano. I’ll tell you what…we’ll fight for one week, using any weapons we have in our arsenal and see who wins. I personally believe we could turn your whole country to glass in a matter of minutes, but what the heck do I know, I still have my sanity!

Then again, I suppose the responsible thing to do is lend credibility to a rogue state by holding talks with its dangerously delusional leader.
