Code Pink’s Evans heckled Rove because she’s like ‘a police officer’

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) poses in this undated photo with Code Pink Founder Cindy Sheehan. The photo is from Pelosi's congressional website.Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink, appeared on ‘America Live’ with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday, justifying heckling Karl Rove. Rove was appearing at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills (Calif.) as part of his book tour for the newly released ‘Courage and Consequence.’

Evans and a few of the Code Pinksters heckled and interrupted Rove, “at the end” of the event she said, because she wanted to arrest him. She told Kelly she had drawn up a citizen’s arrest for Rove and resorted to the standard name-calling her group employs whether they’re heckling conservative writers or Marine recruiting offices.

There was a comic moment when Evans asked Kelly, “Are you gonna tell me I should be polite?” She also said Rove didn’t make himself “available” so she took the “opportunity” during his appearance.

Ask yourself if you’d want to make yourself available to Code Pink if you were Rove.

Evans is typical of leftwingers who want to silence any voices they disagree with. That's a trend these days.

Curiously, Gateway Pundit gives us background on President Barack Obama's ties to the Code Pink co-founder: “Jodie Evans was one of Barack Obama’s top 500 bundlers who raised nearly $100,000 for the Democratic nominee. The radical Obama supporter also rushed the stage during Sarah Palin’s speech at the Xcel Center during the Republican Convention and has met with the Taliban in Afghanistan.”

Curiously absent from Evans’ remarks was any criticism of former president Bill Clinton, the Democrat who sent bombers aplenty. In an expose perhaps unintentionally exposing the leftwing double standard,  Raw Story wrote, “In the first three months of 1999, U.S. led-forces bombarded Iraq with 241,000 pounds of bombs—just shy of the 253,000 pounds dropped under President Bush in the eight months leading up to the final UN resolution before the war.”

Naturally there was no criticism of any Democrats despite the fact troop deaths in Afghanistan doubled for the first three months of 2010. Injuries have risen dramatically. Someone should ask the government about Rules of Engagement and the impact on troop safety.

Someone should ask Evans about the double standard she practices—it’s at least as large as her peace sign hoop earrings.

It’s also a given, documented in any number of books and reports, that al Qaeda planned September 11 long before President George W. Bush took office.

Democrat obstructionism after the 2000 elections, delaying the transition between presidents by months, made America even more vulnerable. In contrast, Bush and his administration worked diligently to make President Barack Obama’s transition smooth.

Evans offered a bizarre explanation to Kelly, explaining to Kelly that Rove was “the one that was resisting arrest.” Evans said she interrupted his event because she was just “like a police officer.” No word yet on whether law enforcement officers are concerned about their new volunteer wannabe cop.
