Who Ya Gonna Call?

Suppose there was trouble in the hood. Suppose you were the head Code Pinker. Who would you call? Who else? You call the Marines.

Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin, who can turn the air blue when shouting chants against American Marines called out for the Marines in front of Marine Recruiting offices in Berkeley yesterday.

Eamon Kelley, the young Marine who is featured in Move America Forward’s TV commercial that ran on Fox News earlier this week, could hardly believe his own ears when Benjamin called on the Marines for help.
How about some details?
“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 (the Marine Vet). Ironic?”
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

It is just that some people never knew this and others forget, while some like Ms. Benjamin don't even want to know despite it being rubbed in their faces.

Semper Fi.

If anyone thinks this is a hoax I can assure you it was not. Myself as well as three others standing there at the time heard the same cry for help.
They can protest all they want, when the s*** hits the fan they still crawl back. I dont know if I should laugh or throw up.
When Lindsay Lohans latest visit to rehab takes priority over our the REAL important issues, our country is in trouble.
WAKE UP. Spread the word and help stop this cancer, please.
