So would aiding and abetting terrorists to kill US soldiers qualify as behavior unbefitting of a sitting US senator?

The article says that Code Pink:

“Secured diplomatic courtesy letters from US Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Congressmen Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Henry Waxman of California.”
​

Swett reported on how Barbara Boxer and Code Pink assisted terrorists in Iraq:

Perhaps the most revealing window into Boxer’s true feelings towards our military is her close alliance with Code Pink, a radical leftist group that reviles American troops as terrorists and assassins while praising their enemies as freedom fighters. For years, Code Pink has viciously harassed wounded veterans and their families outside Walter Reed Hospital, even telling the mother of a slain Navy Seal that her son “deserved to die.” Code Pink actively supports terror groups such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, Hezbollah and al Qaeda.
The Code Pink website repeatedly praises “our beloved Barbara Boxer.” And why not? Boxer has worked with the group and supported its goals on many occasions. In early 2005, Boxer was the only member of the Senate to oppose certifying the Electoral College result that returned George Bush to office for a second term. Code Pink hosted rallies and participated in various demonstrations and marches to “defend democracy” against the results of the 2004 elections. They wrapped up the event at Senator Boxer’s California office, “singing her songs of thanks.”
Code Pink’s leaders had just returned from Fallujah, Iraq, where 51 Americans had been killed and 560 wounded in the US Marines’ heaviest urban combat since the Vietnam War. Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against - quite literally giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies in a time of war. As noted in Islam Online, a diplomatic courtesy letter from Barbara Boxer helped make the trip possible.
​

On returning home from their trip to Fallujah Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin told reporters:

“I don’t know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine … for the families of the ‘other side’,” said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of Global Exchange, a human rights group. “It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States … opposed to the unjust nature of this war,” she said.

How strange and disturbing.

The left lie machine is so ingrained into people that they beleive whatever is told to them. They have no need to ask questions, just follow the chant.

Most disturbing is widows giving money to people that will make more widows.

Boxer is safe though, as long as she does as code pink tells her, she'll keep her seat.

Where is the outrage about Americans committing treason?

Those are liberals being heroic.

It's a damn shame we don't prosecute treason anymore.

And that's what the left does. But it's easy when you consider the US as the source of all evil in the world.

I think Code Pink is nuts but Front Page is not a credible source.

Fail.

On October 12, Scott Swett at the American Thinker reported that Senator Barabara Boxer (D-CA) along with Representatives Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Henry Waxman (D-CA) secured diplomatic courtesy letters that allowed anti-American Code Pink activists to travel to Fallujah, Iraq. The radicals traveled to Fallujah in late 2004 to donate $600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the people who had just killed 51 Americans and wounded 560 moreearlier that month. Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah was the heaviest US urban combat since the Vietnam War.
After the report was published at American Thinker the article was deleted at Islam Online.

Whose marine son died in Iraq.....

did she play in any Iraq War re-enactments while there?

 

[Sheldon]

Treason, huh? I think that's a death sentence.

The issue seems to be this $600k in humanitarian aid: portable stoves, blankets, food, water, medicine. Is there any evidence that these supplies were intentionally distributed to insurgents? I think it's inevitable that, during the height of the insurgency in Iraq, some humanitarian aid directed to displaced families could have found its way into the hands of terrorists. Since our military is providing humanitarian aid, it's possible even they've helped feed a terrorist or two. That's kind of the nature of this conflict, where "the other side" doesn't look like an army... they look like civilians.

These were obviously far left radical groups that went over there... but it seems like a stretch to say that they went over there to harbor and feed the insurgents. Need hard evidence that they were intentionally harboring terrorists before shouting treason.

A country that refuses self examination is doomed to die.


There is nothing MORE American than holding the USA to a high moral code.

Morals do so get in the way of profit though....

There is nothing LESS American than giving aid to those who seek to kill your fellow Americans. That's treason.... to anyone capable of reading and comprehending the definition of treason. I am not, however, surprised that you support treason. But, you know what, "truth"matters - WE WILL NEVER FEAR YOU.
