FINALLY, SOME FACTS - AT 6:20 P.M. ET:  One of my great frustrations with mainstream news outlets is the way most of them paper over the harsh facts about the political left.  Euphemisms like "anti-war activists" or "human rights campaigners" often are used to disguise groups that are essentially anti-American and even pro-dictator.  I recall, during the Vietnam War, observing "peace" marches in which demonstrators chanted "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!" as a tribute to North Vietnam's dictator.  Yet, when reported on the news, the marches simply became "anti-war" or "against administration policy."

Now, Andrew Breitbart's new Big Government site does a terrific story exposing the truth about Code Pink, that oh so lovable band of harmless eccentrics and "anti-war" activists who want, like, you know, to improve the world?

Last week in San Francisco, Obama headlined a three million dollar fundraiser at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. The San Francisco Chronicle reports about 160 people paid $30,400 or more per couple for a private dinner with Obama followed by a reception costing $500 to $1000 that drew over 900 attendees. Among those at the dinner was the leftist, so-called antiwar group Code Pink co-founder, Jodie Evans.

The Chronicle reports Jodie Evans had a several minutes long conversation with Obama at the fundraiser.

And the politics of Jodie Evans?

Last year, right before Jodie Evans attended another high dollar event for Obama, she gave a radio interview in which she sympathized with Osama bin Laden about his reasons for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that murdered nearly 3000 Americans and foreign nationals...

...Jodie Evans has been espousing her support for terrorists for years. In February 2003, Jodie Evans and Code Pink traveled to Baghdad as a guest of Saddam Hussein’s government where they lobbied the world to keep the state sponsor of terrorism in power...

...Jodie Evans and Code Pink delivered over $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to what Code Pink called “the other side” in Fallujah as the U.S. was waging a hard fought battle to clear the terrorist safe haven of al Qaeda in Iraq and other Sunni terrorists...

Jodie Evans and Code Pink are also allied with the anti-American governments of Venezuela and Cuba. She met with Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chavez in 2006 and has declared him a “sweetheart.” Jodie Evans traveled to Cuba in 2007 and worked with the Castro government to propagandize against the U.S.

In September 2008, just a couple of weeks after meeting Obama at a big money Hollywood fundraiser at the historic Greystone mansion in Beverly Hills, Jodie Evans met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York City. Afterward, Jodie Evans proclaimed him to be “really about peace and human rights and respecting justice.”

And...

Several questions are raised by Jodie Evans’ ties to Obama. Given her documented alliances with terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism, why is Jodie Evans repeatedly granted face time with Obama? Obama surely knows of her ties, as do her allies overseas like Ahmadinejad and Chavez. Is Jodie Evans acting as a go-between for Obama to our nation’s enemies? And if so, to whose benefit?

COMMENT:  She's granted face time with Obama because there's a certain wing of the Democratic Party that has no problem with Jodie Evans or her ilk.  Several years ago the head of the California Democratic Party was on TV attacking reporters who expose pro-terrorist activities in the United States.  he didn't attack terrorism.

Jodie Evans is a very rich woman who has used her wealth for the worst causes.  Yet, when she appears in the media, she's just simple Jodie, that "anti-war" activist.

In fact, she's a good friend of both reds and fascists - anyone, it seems, who's anti-American.

Harry Truman would have known how to handle her.
