Bev Perlson and Band of Mothers protested Code Pink this week.
Code Pink Marxist founder Medea Benjamin did not appreciate it.
Democracy Project has more from Bev Perlson who flew in from Chicago to crash the Code Pink dinner in New Jersey.
MORE... The New Jersey Star-Ledger actually reported on the protest against the protesters:
Some 18 people from groups that oppose anti-war protests as "anti-American" hoisted signs condemning CODEPINK as supporting terrorism.
"I'm here to support our soldiers," said Beverly Perlson, founder of the group Band of Mothers. Perlson, whose son served four tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, flew in from Chicago to attend the rally in Morris County. She said CODEPINK protesters, who have agitated for the closure of a military recruitment center in Berkeley, Calif., are not just "anti-victory," they are "pro-defeat."
"They want to see us lose. I don't understand this," Perlson said, after a heated exchange with CODEPINK supporters. "I've been referred to as the mother of a terrorist. ... My son isn't a terrorist."
"They are a very virulent anti-American group," Carolyn Van Zorge, of North Bergen, state coordinator for the group Gathering of Eagles, said of CODEPINK, which has regional offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and New York.

Bev Perlson had a few words with Medea Benjamin, via the Herald News:
"I wanted to say hello to you and move you a bit toward dialogue," Benjamin said to Beverly Perlson, who came from the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn, Ill., to protest the event. Perlson said her son has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan four times.Previously:
"I have a message for you, Medea, get out of our country," said Perlson, who carried a sign that said "The original Medea murdered her own children, Medea Benjamin is murdering ours" -- a reference to the character from Greek drama.

Bruce and Jim, Thank you both for your interest. We do have a video of several interactions this Sunday with the Pinkos. We hope to get it posted by this weekend. The book Robert is holding is written by Suzi (Medea) and she signed it.Great job, Bev!
I cannot tell you how many Patriots there are in New Jersey but as I stood on the curb there waving to the passing traffic, the honks from the cars was absolutely wonderful. I only hope that Suzi heard it all inside. She did have her little friends call the Police on us but we had a permit and they were very very nice to us.
In all my life, I have never had the Police called on me until I started standing up to the likes of John Murtha and Medea Suzi! At one point the Chief of Police drove by and he really beeped his horn. Then, before we left, a Policeman came back to ask us who Code Pink is and he wanted to know how we knew they would be there. We told him all about Code Pink and their calendar on their website.

And Code Pink once again shows their hypocrisy...complaining about people protesting their event while they condemn people complaining when Code Pink shows up protesting at others' events.
Medea Benjamin double-standard at work.

Kudos to the Band of Mothers!!

And linked.
Wow look at all the anti-American pro-Taliban white trash.
White trash is a real problem for America.
The truly childish left and their temper tantrums do
have a right to protest whatever they want to protest.
But...I also have a right to protest their protests!!! I
have a right to speak without having to listen to their
hissy fits about MY NOT HAVING Freedom Of Speech
if I disagree with them.
Great going for this brave Mother. Her son is not a
terrorist. The terrorists are the anti American Code
Pinkers.
"Get out of the country"? Oh, that's so eloquent. Remember, not all publicity is good publicity. But then "Gateway Pundit" just cares about "freedom" in other countries, not the US.

Re: "me"
Well, it is logical.
If you really think that the military of your country are murderous thugs, and that you're being oppressed, the logical thing to do is to leave.
If Code Pink actually believes as they claim, they are utterly insane to protest in front of the USMC recruiter-- something like jumping into the "serial killer" ward in a prison, without restraints. That is to say, it's disordered.
Thus, if you do not automatically believe that those who disagree with you are deranged, and they are doing things that are irrational if you accept their claims, they are probably being dishonest; it is possible they are simply ignorant.
The nicest thing the woman could say is "leave."
bg, not just younger -- more ignorant, less logical, less worth (if that's possible) paying attention to, and more sensitve to having their colors shown.
Big Time Losers.
nonsense.
Demonstrations in front of military recruiting offices are perfectly logical, given that it's possible to dissuade potential recruits from participating in an immoral and totally unjustifiable war. And "get out of the country" is not a rational argument, except on this web site.
Anon-- Apparently you missed the part where they *physically prevented* folks from going in.
And you're ignoring their claims of how horrible things are.
Go, Band of Mothers! Free speech at its most free.
Unfortunately, Code Pink doesn't really support free speech or freedom in general, which is why they're whining and crying now.
"Immoral and unjustifiable war", huh?
Do you ever step outside the box and think for yourself? It seems every single leftist parrots those same words and they don't appear any more intelligent just because they came from your keyboard.
But then "Gateway Pundit" just cares about "freedom" in other countries, not the US
Oh, poor little anonymous, he/she/it is just so unfree in America.
Grow up, twerp. If you and Code Pink were really oppressed, you wouldn't dare be posting contrary opinions on a blog, much less prancing around in silly pink costumes in public.
Want to know what really brave dissent is? Google "Sophie Scholl/The White Rose." Sophie and her friends got their heads cut off by the Nazis for distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets. That's totalitarianism - totalitarianism which was ended by the U.S. troops Medea and Co. blame for all the troubles in the world.
Whiny, infantile, ignorant, pampered brats who assert the right to spit at everyone from their high chairs and brook no opposition - that's the left in America circa 2008.

The one thing protestors hate most is being protested. Code Pink called the cops when their appalling anti-war protest at Walter Reed was counter-protested. They also went door-to-door trying to get the neighborhood to file complaints against the counter-protestors. For lefties who think the cops are pigs, they certainly do try to use them to suppress dissent against their position.
Tantor, it was even better at Berkeley, according to Marine Eamon Kelley ...
“While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 p.m., a white Volvo drove by and a man spat upon CodePink,” Kelley wrote in an email to MAF’s Melanie Morgan. “They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation. The police were NOWHERE in sight.
“That’s not the best part, ready for this?
“Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” She actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me, “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen.
You can't make this stuff up ...
Tantor & Rich (sounds like a duet):
Don'tcha jes' love Code Punk's continued hypocrisy?
