Glenn Reynolds asks the following question about Code Pink:
CODE PINK’S HEAD-SCRATCHING WAR ON DRONES: “Shouldn’t the concept of a less violent war with minimized civilian casualties be exactly what the ‘pacifist’ group wants?” I dunno. Are they anti-war, or just on the other side?
We ran into Code Pink at the 2008 Democrat Convention in Denver, and at least one of your Founding Bloggers took the opportunity to ask them some very revealing questions which might just answer Glenn’s question. Video below:
The mask comes off at 1:05 when they call America the biggest bully of the world.
Code Pink is against the drone attacks because they are aimed at people who they consider to be victims of American bullying, specifically Iran terrorists and their al-Qaida Jihadi partners.
Orwell, “Notes on Nationalism”, May 1945. Text available online.
“English left-wing intellectuals did not, of course, actually want the Germans or Japanese to win the war, but many of them could not help getting a certain kick out of seeing their own country humiliated, and wanted to feel that the final victory would be due to Russia, or perhaps America, and not to Britain. In foreign politics many intellectuals follow the principle that any faction backed by Britain must be in the wrong.”

You have to love the filthy hippie chicks from hell. I always get a good laugh at those who should be institutionalized for their own safety telling the USA how to protect itself.
I love the quote about Iran not threatening other countries in over 260 years… I guess saying they will wipe Israel off the face of the map, was pure cartographical humor, and not in any way alluding to violence…
This is the end product of brainwashing: a mindless repetition of slogans, bypassing any sort of inner truth filter. Any question always returns the same nonsensical, bumper-sticker answer, like an endless loop in a computer program.
Oh, and congrats on the shout-out that Rush gave you yesterday.
The question anwsers itself, just as Alger Hiss.
