Lunatic Monday: Code Pink And HuffPo
Posted on November 24, 2008
Let’s start with the ladies in that atrocious, stomach-churning, eye bleeding color of pink
DAY ONE in Tehran
What an extraordinary day! After arriving at our hotel in the middle of the night, I woke up early raring to go. Our hotel is in a great location downtown, and I took some time before our meetings to buy some beautiful crafts in the nearby stores and chat with the storeowners. After a hearty Iranian breakfast that included delicious tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh eggs, cheese, yoghurt, flat bread and mouth-watering olives, the “work day” began for the three of us—myself, CODEPINK cofounder Jodie Evans and Col. Ann Wright.
The whole thing reads like they were taking a vacation in New Zealand or Hawaii. Everything is oh-so-wonderful in Iran. Not that you have ever heard or read them give the same platitudes to the United States. This isn’t the first time they have pulled this stunt, either.
Then we went to his office, but along the way he stopped to show us the old, abandoned U.S. Embassy. It is now surrounded by murals with anti-American slogans—a stark reminder of the harsh rhetoric emanating from both governments.
Well, gee wiz, Medea, they stormed our embassy, took our people hostage, terrorized them, and held them for 444 days. I think we had reason for harsh rhetoric. Matter of fact, by international law, we could have bombed Iran to hell and back, as the taking of our embassy was an act of war.
Habib also showed us a short docudrama about the 20-year anniversary of the July 3 downing of an Iranian commercial airline by a US navy ship in which over 200 people died—a terrible tragedy for which the U.S. government has never apologized. There are so many sad pieces of our history that most Americans are unaware of, but that make us seem so callous in the eyes of the victims…
So, she wants us to apologize for the downing, and we look so awful to the people who took our people hostage, are major supporters of Middle Eastern terrorism, and were involved in killing our troops in Iraq. Where is the apology from Iran, Medea? Said plane was outside of normal flight lanes and did not respond to challenge from the USS Vincennes. Maybe Medea could ask the Iranians to apologize for the attacking the Vincennes with gunboats and helicopters a mere hour before the shoot down.
Moving on to a different lunatic (make sure to read the comments at the Code Pink site), we go to the HuffPo, John Hallmann: Why America Feels Like it’s Been Ruled by a Foreign Occupier
As Obama takes over the wreckage this country is in, one can’t help but feel like something alien to America has been controlling it these past eight years. The wave of emotion that has erupted with the election of Barack Obama reminds me of the Allied victory in France in WWII. After a long foreign occupation in which foreign German interests occupied the agenda of France, French governance would once again be representing the concerns of it’s populace. That hope seems to pervade America after it’s long neocons occupation. Here are a few of the parallels that I see.
Gotta love the way John makes the comparison that the Bush admin was Hitler’s Germany. Not very original, but, he does it with flair! Or, should that be with insanity?
He goes on to yammer about BushCo ignoring the public opinion. Gee, John, I wonder where you stand on Prop 8, because it seems that the majority of the unhinged Nutroots is against what was the will of the people in California.

These “ladies” should see some public hangings or stonings of Iranian girls who have offended the Islamic Government. Then later they should remember the smoking remains of the World Trade Center as the cranes kept digging for more bodies of innocent American victims.
In the future they can visit the smoking remains of Jerusalem / Tel Aviv / New York City / Washington D.C. after the Mullahs bring on their nukes.
Possibly these “reality checks” will broaden their minds somewhat.
Rocketman
John,
No amount of reality could make a dent in the THC-dietpill-vicodin-vodka- soaked brains of these horrific, useless, hippie hags. Reality, Good, Evil; meaningless words in drug-addled minds. When the nukes come down, people like these (and Obama) will truly say and truly believe that the victims deserved what happened to them. It isn’t the case that they are wrong anymore. They are simply insane.
Hope they manage to catch an execution or two of homosexual teenagers. Or perhaps an ‘honor-killing’ of a disobedient female.
I grew up among idiots such as the “code pink” brigade, gamboling in horrific foreign countries while burbling about the healthy food and the crafts.
They are so blind about the position of women there — don’t get why some women are afraid to be filmed, don’t see anything weird about how they are given permission to uncover their heads in a public restaurant and within 20 minutes are required to hide them again because some men came in and complained.
These ladies are nuts.
It’s funny you mention the Bush, Nazi connection. It seems that if any of you blind flag wavers did a hint of research you would find that Prescott Bush was one of the Directors for an institution called Union Banking Corp. The signifcance of that is Union Banking Corp was shut down, while Prescott was among its leadership, for sheltering Nazi funds. Union Banking was seized by the government in October 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.
But those details aren’t important to you’re kind. You would rather call people names and tell them they are ignorant than to take a moment and delve into our real history. You prefer to ingest and recite back the history that has been fed to you by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt or Scholastic. Oh to be clear I’m neither liberal or conservative, democrat or republican, left or right; I’m a human who makes his decisions after he has heard the issue and the facts. INVESTIGATE 9/11!
Please educate us, own person, on how the Skull and Bones are involved as well. Tell us of the shadow government, and our “real” history.
We should have assassinated the Ayatollah while he was in exile.
Thanks, France, for giving him a home and the means to return to Iran. You’ve done the world yet another great favor.
Kirk doesn’t know the difference between “its” and “it’s” and makes redundancies like “stupid moron” (as opposed to a smart moron? lol), but *he’s* the smart one.
Heh.
Adults playing here, Kirk. Go back in the crib and suck your thumb for a while.
You got me Panday. I give up, and bow to your superior grammatical and spelling skills. Now let’s go kill and eat some Iranian babies!
They’re better boiled instead of grilled.
