Code Pinkery at its worst

I Get E-Mail From: "Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK in Cairo" <codepink@mail.democracyinaction.org> To: TRKOF Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:27:24 -0500 (EST) Subject: Whose side are we on in Egypt?

“ Dear Friend, Blah-Blah-Blah  Will you make a generous donation now to support the pro-democracy movement in Egypt? People around the US are asking, what can we do that will make a difference?  How can we send a signal that the world is watching, the world is with the people of Egypt?  We've signed petitions and tweeted our eyeballs out.  Now what?  Will you donate $5 today to help buy flowers? This is one way we around the world can support the nonviolent people's uprising. We have met with dozens of women and groups in Cairo and these women and our CODEPINK delegation on the ground in Egypt are asking this: Help us raise $5,000 in emergency funds today to support the Egyptian revolution! Beyond solidarity, the best way we can show our support for the Egyptian uprising is to demand that our own government cut off aid to the Mubarak regime. Join us in telling President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the U.S. Congress to stop funding the Mubarak regime now, to call on Mubarak to resign, and to expressly say that our government stands with the Egyptian people.  The Egyptian people are writing a beautiful chapter in the history of nonviolent revolutions. Let's show them we are on their side. Send flowers and supplies to the demonstrators! ” support the nonviolent people's uprising.?!? When a group like Code Pink, which affiliates with every America-hating group in the world, and openly promotes that American soldiers kill their officers and join the other side ... well,  the leaders ought be subject to a shoot-on-sight warrant.  But they're not, which is another example of us confusing freedom of speech with  treason.  Anyway,  I don't know for sure that  Code Pink is responsible for this  piece of agitprop, but  it certainly has their smell, and it is their message.  Most striking is the presumption of gullibility it carries.  Are people really that stupid?
