Treason in Berkeley

Society for years has endured the freakish antics of Berkeley dwellers. Naked people streaking in the streets; smelly hippies begging for money as they sing drunken renditions of '60s anti-war songs; adults sitting in trees like a bad zoo exhibit.

But the Berkeley City Council and instigators from the extreme left have crossed the line this time. The council Tuesday night passed two anti-military, anti-American resolutions and agreed to send a letter to the city's only Marine recruiting office saying the military are "uninvited intruders."

This is treasonous, hateful behavior that steals the First Amendment rights of the Marines, the very group that protects our constitutional rights. What galls me most is that Berkeley is the birthplace of the modern free-speech movement and now it is has drawn battle lines in the war against the First Amendment.

The first resolution says that the Marine Corps recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

The socialist council also gave the anti-American Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m. The goal is clear – to harass the Marines until they are forced out of Berkeley.

Nice misappropriation of public funds.

Business people are sick of the Code Stinkos, who make noise, disrupt business with their aggressiveness and "yoga moves," and generally pollute the area.

"My husband's business is right upstairs, and this (protesting) is bordering on harassment," Dori Schmidt told the council. "I hope this stops."

The only councilman who showed restraint and a scent of common sense was Gordon Wozniak. He opposed giving Code Pink a parking space because it favors free speech rights of one group over another.

"There's a line between protesting and harassing, and that concerns me," Wozniak said. "It looks like we are showing favoritism. We have to respect the other side and not abuse their rights. This is not good policy."

I have dealt with these beasts up close and they are one scary bunch to confront in person. The pro-troop organization I lead, Move America Forward, went to Berkeley in October with more than 400 patriotic Americans to support our Marines, who opened their recruiting center in Berkeley about a year ago. We waved our American flags, sang "God Bless America" and "The Star Spangled Banner," spoke out in support of our troops, and showed love and respect for our military while a paltry gathering of Code Pinko's burned flags and yelled anti-American epithets.

Code Pink was so embarrassed that patriotic Americans outnumbered them in their own backyard that they wanted a rematch. A representative from Code Pink e-mailed and asked if I would debate Medea Benjamin, a socialist who loves Cuba's dictator, Fidel Castro. She is also responsible for sending more than $600,000 to terrorists' families in Iraq.

I said I would be happy to take on Benjamin, but only after we agreed to certain details that would protect against an ambush from the left – such as having a fair moderator, a proper venue and inclusion of a representatives from the Marines. Code Pink reneged on this agreement and proceeded to go out and lie about my involvement. Even after I explicitly told them I would not debate Benjamin based on their failures to live up to our agreement, Code Pink continued to tell the media and the public that there would be a debate on this issue.

Code Pink demonstrated once again why they cannot be trusted by any fair and reasonable person interested in honest debate on the important issues facing our nation, especially when it relates to our military. All Code Pink was interested in was orchestrating a ploy to raise money for their treasonous activities.

To make matters worse, Code Pink has now kicked off a campaign for an initiative that would restrict recruiting centers in the same way cities contain pornography shops. Comparing our military to pornography peddlers is slanderous and outrageous. What is really obscene is the conduct of Code Pink and their allies.

Berkeley Councilman Max Anderson has pushed the idea of giving special favors to Code Pink, which has done so much to cripple America's efforts to protect herself against radical Islamic jihadists. Yet Anderson had the nerve to say that our Marine's are committing "barbarity."

Anderson should take a look at Saddam's torture and rape chambers if he wants to see real barbarity. His libel against our troops is unacceptable, and decent people across America should let him know that this degradation of our troops will not stand.

You can do your part by registering your outrage with the city of Berkeley, contacting officials via e-mail and phone.

Meanwhile, the feds should cut off federal funds to Berkeley faster than the warmed-over hippies can say "barbarity."

Lancet Study Bogus and Financed by George Soros

Remember the Lancet Study that came out just before the U.S. 2006 elections that transformed Congress from a Republican majority to Democratic Party majority? The study that reported the deaths of over 650,000 Iraqis died during the invasion and the immediate chaos that followed.

To put that in perspective, the U.S government projected the Iraqi loss of life at 30,000 and the post Saddam Iraqi government at 50,000. Then the authors of the British medical journal insisted their findings be published before the American 2006 elections.

In the present not only is the methods of the study questioned to attain the Lancet Study conclusions, but the authors have been revealed as anti-war activists in addition the Lancet report was substantially financed by George Soros.

Soros’ hatred of Bush has inspired him to lie as propaganda in attempts to discredit President Bush.

So once again Democrats and Leftists lie with false data as one of their aids in swaying voters in 2006 to vote Democrat.

Suspiciously, Daniel Pearl's widow is suddenly being lavishly praised by the Treason Lobby. Jane Mayer, co-author of the discredited hit-book on Clarence Thomas, "Strange Justice," published an article in The New Yorker last week recounting that Mariane Pearl was called by Alberto Gonzales in March with the news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had admitted to American interrogators that he had personally beheaded her husband and they were going to release the transcript to the press. Mayer wrote: "Gonzales' announcement seemed like a publicity stunt."

Frank Rich followed up with an article in The New York Times saying of Gonzales' call: "Ms. Pearl recognized a publicity ploy when she saw it."

Inasmuch as these are journalists who adjudge George Bush more evil than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, their perception of reality is to be treated gingerly. But if Ms. Pearl is toying with the idea of becoming the latest liberal cause celebre, she might want to consider the trajectories of the rest of them.

All the Democrats' most dearly beloved anti-war/anti-Bush heroes invariably end up in the Teresa Heinz Kerry wing of the nut-house. Scott Ritter went from being a trusted U.N. weapons inspector valiantly defending poor, misunderstood Saddam Hussein from George Bush's imperialistic war to being just another creep trying to have sex with underage girls.

Cindy Sheehan once had "absolute moral authority." Now she's just a madwoman writing mash notes to Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.

Max Cleland was a war hero who lost his limbs as a result of Viet Cong grenades, giving him the stature to gleefully taunt George Bush and Dick Cheney. "Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War?" Cleland responded to Cheney. "If you had gone to Vietnam like the rest of us, maybe you would have learned something about war."

Then we learned Cleland was a victim only of his own clumsiness and had dropped the grenade on himself in Vietnam after stopping for a beer.

Bill Burkett was the left's most admired military veteran since Benedict Arnold. He claimed Bush had shirked his National Guard duty and said he had the documents to prove it. According to Dan Rather and CBS News, Burkett was a "solid" and "unimpeachable" source who was being attacked by "partisan political operatives."

And then Burkett turned out to be a foaming-at-the-mouth loon. He was eventually forced to admit on air that he had "misled" CBS on the phony National Guard documents, which is a little like Hugo Chavez "misleading" Sean Penn. Burkett's current medical diagnosis: too crazy to be a homeless person.

The congressional campaign of anti-war Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett was treated in the media as if it were the Second Coming. The New York Times described Hackett adoringly as a "lean 6-foot-4, he is garrulous, profane and quick with a barbed retort or a mischievous joke." The Times even produced the obligatory quote-ready Republican who said that "Mr. Hackett's service had caused him to consider voting Democratic."

Then we found out with a little more specificity what some of those quick-witted barbs were. Hackett called the president a "chickenhawk," referred to Bush's "Bring it on" statement as "the most incredibly stupid comment," and called Bush "the biggest threat in America." Yes, he was a veritable Noel Coward, that Hackett.

Soon, even Rep. Rahm Emanuel and Sen. Chuck Schumer were trying to get Hackett to drop his next political campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Gen. Wesley Clark was once compared to Eisenhower, which, in mediaspeak, means: "He is virulently anti-Bush." Democrats were so tickled to have found an anti-war Southerner and retired general, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert asked, is he "just a mirage?"

Then it turned out the only war Clark wanted to lead was America's War on Fetuses, declaring that abortion should be legal for any reason until the moment of birth. Soon Clark was buddying around with Michael Moore and Madonna. Also, he claimed he had received calls from "the White House" by which he meant "a think tank in Canada."

Last we heard, Gen. Clark was on the alternate list for "Dancing With the Stars."

Joe Wilson went from being billed in the media as a trusted adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and billed (by himself) as an eyewitness to the president's "lies," to being an apron-wearing househusband who had been sent on an errand by his wife.

Not only did he fail to debunk the Niger yellowcake story, he also forgot to bring home the quart of milk his wife had requested. (Wilson is now demanding a congressional investigation into who leaked the classified information that his wife wears the pants in the family.)

The Joe Wilson celebrity tour officially ended when The Washington Post editorialized: "It's unfortunate that so many people took (Wilson) seriously" -- not the least of whom were reporters at The Washington Post itself.

Most recently, The New Republic's "Baghdad Diarist" has been unveiled as a liar, another illustrious chapter in that magazine's storied history of publishing con men and frauds.

If conservatives are the ones driven by ideological passions, then why are liberals the ones always falling for laughable hoaxes in support of their anti-war ideological agenda? And if liberal beliefs are true, why do they need all the phony stunts to prove them? How about liberals keep hoaxes out of politics and return them to their rightful place: "proving" Darwinian evolution.
