… Ubiquitous activist Medea Benjamin of Code Pink tried to give her small antiwar band a pep talk. “The American people were on our side just a couple of months ago,” she said. “The support is going to start evaporating. . . . We need to accelerate that.”


I asked Benjamin, who like Swanson voted for Obama in 2008 before turning Green, why so few on the left oppose Obama. “He’s totally defanged us,” she said, citing his party, his affability — and his race. “The black community is traditionally the most antiwar community in this country. He’s defanged that sentiment within the black community, or certainly voicing that sentiment.”

Benjamin noted that the two leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus split on last week’s Syria vote. “If it were under Bush, there would be no split at all and they would all be against this,” she said.

If the black community is so anti-war, why is there such a large amount of blacks in the military..??

"Code Pink Leader Medea Benjamin Laments: White Liberals Give Obama A Free Pass Because He’s Black..."

Nonsense.


Just because most Americans don't buy into the right's moronic mantra of “Obama: always wrong, all the time,” doesn't mean anyone's giving the president 'a free pass.'

Sounds like Benjamin is a closet conservative Rush fan...

Hey a cut and paste

At least there's no dildo this time.

We can be thankful for that.

 

[Desperado]

So you are saying the Liberals that are supporting Obama's war, would also support Bush for the same policies?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

She's so cutting-edge! Like a typical democrat.

Good I hope this means Republicans have decided to start listening to Code Pink.
