Medea Benjamin: North Korea Has No Nukes

This is certainly a relief: We have the word of Medea Benjamin of Code Pink that North Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons after all.

Never mind the evidence to the contrary. Never mind North Korea's public admissions. Never mind that America's worst ex-President Jimmy Carter negotiated the 1994 agreement by which Bill Clinton helped North Korea develop nukes.

A North Korean general may say:

What we can say to you definitely right now is that we currently have nuclear weapons.

But Medea Benjamin says:

North Korea does not have a nuclear weapon. We know that North Korea doesn't have a nuclear weapon.

Benjamin isn't your garden variety kook. Her Code Pink organization has important friends like Howard Dean and Jack Murtha. Certainly we can take her word on this, just as Carter and Clinton wisely took the North Koreans' word that if we helped them build nuclear reactors, they'd lay off their nuclear weapons program.

Speaking of the Code Pinko's, Mother Moonbat: Hitler Was An Imaginary Problem

SHEEHAN: I‘m a pacifist and I believe war is wrong. And if you look at the history, World War II happened because of World War I and the suppression and sanctions against the people of World War I. I‘m a total pacifist and I think finally now, this is the 21st century and we need to stop killing each other to solve problems, especially imaginary problems.

And your problem with that would be....

(apart from the fact that Cindy Sheehan actually dares to exercise her freedom of speech as an American citizen and patriot.....

moonbat supreme:

I agree. Give her and all the moonbats a mike and turn it up. Sunlight is the best form of disinfectant.

What exactly qualifies Cindy as an authority on historical events?

And while an American citizen she (sadly) is, she by no means fits my definition of a patriot. I don't anyone who goes to a foreign country to criticize her own country while cozying up to a dictator a "patriot."

Uh, what dictator?

Okay, now that I know the above post was written by a petulant tool, I'll be sure to remember the words of my father...

"I'm not going to argue with children. Ever."

That would Hugo Chavez...oh, wait, my mistake. Chavez "won" an election that the Left's master of democracy (Dhimmi Carter) certified, so he continues to call himself a "president."

Cindy is a total nutcase. Let her continue to rant and rave about things she doesnt have a clue about.

Im sure Japan invaded China because of German oppression and the oppression of Germans made them exterminate several million Jews. ----Only in Cindy Shithans twisted world.

If Cindy were around in Germany circa 1940, she would have been one of the first shot in the head or gassed by the SS.

What would she have done with Hitler? Let him have all of Europe, North Africa, the Middleast, half of the Americas and half of Asia, while the Japs took the other half of Asia, Australia and the Western half of the America?

Gee, what a nice world this would be if that had happened.

Cindy should immediately be deported to Iran so she can experience life as a burka clad subhuman - after all thats what she wants for the rest of the worlds women. She should lead by example.

Perhaps Cindy Sheehan had a Jay Bennish-like civics teacher when she was in school. Sure sounds like it.

Jimmy Carter you gotta admire him. He doesn't just fail, he fails grandly.

Posted by: associatecontributor1 at March 21, 2006 4:10 PM

oh god, I watched O'Reilly shred that moron last night.

She's incredibly naive and ill-informed. It'd be funny if her idiocy wasn't so dangerous.

Posted by: moonbat monitor at March 21, 2006 7:06 PM

Can ANY of you wingnuts EVER stay on the topic you are being asked to discuss, without deflecting to totally unrelated issues?

We already know what the opinion of some right-wing nobody, sitting from the vantage point of America itself, thinks of Chavez.

Do you think that perhaps your perspective might be somewhat different if you lived in, let's say, Venezuela?

Cindy Sheehan, Jack Murtha, Jimmy Carter, North Korea, Venezuela....yeah, they're all connected.

That's like this morning, when I heard fascist wingnut talk-show pseudo-dominatrix talk show host Laura Ingraham, when asked about the president-select's seemingly rapid fall from "grace", respond with a ten-minute diatribe on the evils of Barbra Streisand.

You clowns are just too easy.

Posted by: moonbat supreme at March 21, 2006 8:39 PM

Well, supremo, since you have deflected to the totally unrelated issue of talk show hostesses, how do you think Laura Ingraham's choice of topics and ability to stick to them compares with Randi Rhodes and her angry, incoherent, all-over-the-map rantings? At least Ingraham is funny (and intentionally so).

And fascist? Please. You have no clue what "fascist" actually means if you can describe Ingraham as one...you're only using the word as an empty epithet, as shorthand for "a person whose politics I find threatening to my own shallow views". It's namecalling, by which you hope to avoid having to think through what it is you don't like about her opinions and actually formulate arguments in response -- or, horror of horrors, reevaluate your own views.

Posted by: prince of leaves at March 21, 2006 9:02 PM

Unfortunately for you, leaves, I don't happen to need to reevaluate my views at the moment. You've helped to solidify mine, and make them crystal clear.

Rhodes speaks truth to power. Ingraham is a shyster hosebag with recurring tape loops, low breeding, and really bad judgement, and when she works on her guests like Monica did to Bill, her program becomes downright unlistenable.

One was in the Air Force, the other made herself a name chasing ambulances. What more can one expect?

It's instructive to look at the whole picture.

Posted by: moonbat supreme at March 21, 2006 9:35 PM

First, I like how I've been downgraded to a "right-wing nobody." Hmm, guess I shouldn't have insult Saint Sheehan, patron saint of media whores. The only thing that woman's grieved in the past 2 years is the fact that Katrina took the media's attention off her.

And no, living in Venezuela would not give me a different opinion of Chavez, no more than living in Havana would give me a different opinion of Castro. It amuses me that the Left continues to gloss over the fact that Chavez is guilty of two of Bush's "greatest crimes": "winning" a rigged election and destroying his country's economy.

Posted by: Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds at March 21, 2006 10:57 PM

But, on the other hand, Chavez did manage to unify his people, not to mention provide affordable heat to elderly and disabled Americans in poverty-stricken districts of the Bronx and Massachusetts, so clearly he's able to handle Bush's job a lot better than Bush ever could have, even if Bush himself had ever been so incline to try......

moonbat supreme i wish i could send you back in time. i can only imagine you fawning over stalin and then rushing off to refute anyone who dares question the patriotism of alger hiss.

i do get a kick out of your posts though. now put your tinfoil hat back on and get to work on some new theory about karl rove ordering the demolition of the levees in new orleans to kill black people.

Posted by: Anonymous at March 22, 2006 4:11 AM

Heh, so because Chavez is willing to sell oil at discount prices to the poor of NY & MA only (no other states are open to this offer) in order to make a political statement, he's suddenly forgiven all his sins?

Ah, right, he's pushing the ideals of socialism, so it's all good to the Left.

Posted by: Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds at March 22, 2006 8:21 AM

Rove? Please, how many more overnights is Gannon gonna be brought into the White House, at Rove's "pleasure"?

Take the needle outta your arms, wingnuts. You're all nodding out again....
