REAL NICE, HUH? – AT 8:36 A.M. ET:  From Andrew Breitbart's Big Peace blog:

So would aiding and abetting terrorists to kill US soldiers qualify as behavior unbefitting of a sitting US senator?

On October 12, Scott Swett at the American Thinker reported that Senator Barabara Boxer (D-CA) along with Representatives Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Henry Waxman (D-CA) secured diplomatic courtesy letters that allowed anti-American Code Pink activists to travel to Fallujah, Iraq. The radicals traveled to Fallujah in late 2004 to donate $600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the people who had just killed 51 Americans and wounded 560 more earlier that month. Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah was the heaviest US urban combat since the Vietnam War.

And...

Swett reported on how Barbara Boxer and Code Pink assisted terrorists in Iraq:

Perhaps the most revealing window into Boxer’s true feelings towards our military is her close alliance with Code Pink, a radical leftist group that reviles American troops as terrorists and assassins while praising their enemies as freedom fighters. For years, Code Pink has viciously harassed wounded veterans and their families outside Walter Reed Hospital, even telling the mother of a slain Navy Seal that her son “deserved to die.” Code Pink actively supports terror groups such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, Hezbollah and al Qaeda.

The Code Pink website repeatedly praises “our beloved Barbara Boxer.” And why not? Boxer has worked with the group and supported its goals on many occasions. In early 2005, Boxer was the only member of the Senate to oppose certifying the Electoral College result that returned George Bush to office for a second term. Code Pink hosted rallies and participated in various demonstrations and marches to “defend democracy” against the results of the 2004 elections. They wrapped up the event at Senator Boxer’s California office, “singing her songs of thanks.”

COMMENT:  That nails it.  Boxer is up for reelection, but you may be sure that the mainstream media will never bring this up.  If they did, they'd be accused of "McCarthyism," the standard accusation of the left. 

Code Pink is just an old-line red operation, with loads of money.  One of its chief honchos, Jodie Evans, was also a major fundraiser for Barack Obama, when he ran for president.  There was a time when any respectable candidate for public office would turn down help from the likes of Evans, but Obama welcomed it.  No comment by the mainstream media.

This story should sicken you.  The question is why the people who give us the "news" aren't sickened as well.

Barbara Boxer, one of the most ineffective senators in the Senate, is up for reelection, and is leading in the polls in California.  That's the pity.
