Code Pink at Quantico

Well, as you probably know, Code Pink and their assembled freaks from the FAR LEFT were at Quantico yesterday to show their support and beg for the release of Wiki-traitor Bradley Manning. CNN quoted some the hippies;

“We are here to say that if he, indeed, was the whistle-blower, then we are proud of him,” said Medea Benjamin, founder of anti-war group Code Pink. “In the United States that I know and love, transparency is a positive thing.”

Yeah, except medea has never known or loved the United States. She just mouths the words to sound main stream.

Uncle Jimbo was there, too;

“If Bradley Manning is the one that leaked these documents, he has already put his fellow soldiers at risk,” said Jim Hanson, who writes for the pro-military website BlackFive.

“I think the military and the government have some things that should be kept secret. The public knows that … There is no ‘right to know’ secret information.”

Jimbo put one picture of Concrete Bob on Blackfive. One picture. Geez.

Luckily CNN has video starring Jim and Medea, if you can stand the contrast;

Jim says they had less than a hundred potesters and several dozen counter-protesters. For all of the press that the protesters had, that was pretty shabby participation. I’ve seen the Left show up with half-again as many on short notice for more ridiculous events. I guess it’s hard to even find people on the Far Left to show support for a traitor on a sunny Sunday afternoon outside of DC.

ADDED: Someone forarded me this video from Code Pink of the events yesterday. make sure you digest your breakfast before you watch;
