Frustrated Anti-War Activists Call In The Witches
Our friend Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward has a great article on her site this evening featuring none other than…Code Pink dressed up as their ancestral Wicked Witch of the West.
Here is an excerpt:
Frustrated Anti-War Activists Call-In the Witches
Written by Melanie Morgan
The radical anti-military group, Code Pink, finally shows the world what its membership is made of: witches and crones. Seriously. This week, Code Pink is holding a series of events and street theater to get themselves some more notoriety. You’d think it would be enough that they have attacked the Marine recruiting center and traveled the world coddling dictators and handing out money to terrorists’ families. But nooooooo!!!!
The witches of Code Pink plan to gather at their usual place of harassment, the Marine Corps Recruiting Center in Berkeley, and cast some spells to chase the recruiters away. From Code Pink’s Website:
“Friday, May 9th: Witches, Crones, Sirens: perform rituals of leaving, cast a spell of peace and love over the station, rendering nil the recruiting of our youth to become fodder for this occupation of Iraq.” I told you I wasn’t kidding.
Read the whole article over at Melanie Morgan’s website.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Man. Good thing they don’t live in Islamistan. Only in the west can a group of loonies do this kind of weird shit.
I thought the LSD dude died the other day? What gives????
May 7th, 2008 at 6:59 pmYou know, I’d get pissed when a guy would say, in reference to a female, “You know what SHE needs …”
Yeah, as if that’s the cure … especially from YOU … eh.
But in Medea Benjamin’s case I strongly tend to agree …
Except, I doubt there is even one guy willing to give her that particular cure …
Even the skuzzy-looking ones I’ve heard say it.
May 7th, 2008 at 7:02 pmWell I guess CODE PINK gave up on wearing makeup.
May 7th, 2008 at 7:22 pmCan stop laughing long enough to think seriously.
Witchcraft is truly going to win over the heart and minds of the American public. But it does show these loonies for what they really are… WOW Can’t wait for the footage of this.
(we need a eating popcorn icon thingie)
May 7th, 2008 at 7:29 pmWhy does this not surprise me? Is it because I’ve been around the college witch/magic types too long? If it isn’t cheap beer, goth/witch/self-haters are something we have too much of around here. Ah, stereotypes…gotta love ‘em - most of the time they’re true. Let’s see if I can come up with a list of attributes to tack to my imaginary witch…we’ll call her…Riliegh. She likes:
1. Horoscopes (even though they make no sense and are a complete scam).
2. Indiscriminate sex (because people who hate themselves console themselves with whatever they can find - and heck, they can’t get into a long-term relationship bc those types are freakin’ annoying).
3. Anime cartoons (they’re pretty insipid and I don’t get what’s so great about them).
4. Vampires (completely out of historical context and used as part of a larger satanic worship cult which makes them feel “special”).
5. Vegan (it contributes significantly to that pale “haven’t seen the sunlight in a decade” look…or maybe that’s the result of something else).
6. Magic cards (someone explain to me what’s so great about the game that one has to collect boxes of cards).
There’s six points. PLEASE help yourself to expanding the list. I would LOVE to see what everyone else has as their stereotypical witch…or warlock.

Thats allright though. All they will accomplish with this is to turn the religious right even further against them probably encouraging a few to join.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pmOK, someone just throw a bucket of water on these douche bags and take their brooms to the great and powerful Oz (Karl Rove). Seriously, where’s the flying monkeys? They were cool at least.

May 8th, 2008 at 3:22 amHere’s more to your list:
1. They are usually lesbian. Most covens are “woman” only - you’ve heard it before “I am woman, hear me roar”
2. Covens that do allow men, are usually pissed at them because the women suspect the men are just looking to get laid (you think?)
3. The men who do pretend to be a bad-ass warlock are usually a whipped lap-dog trying to make “mommy” happy. I was at the Berkeley counter-protest and came across a wanna be bad-ass with his sign stating “Forced sterilization for evangelical Christians”. His mouth was vile, so I looked him in the eye and told him (in my most severe and disapproving mother’s tone) to watch his mouth. He slinked away. Yeah he was tough.
4. They can’t accept themselves for the damaged goods that they are, so they they take on goddess identities or other Greek mythological figures. “Starhawk” is one of the founders of Code Pink. and Susie Benjamin took on “Medea” as her identity, a Greek figure who killed her children to get back at her husband (kinda telling don’t you think).
Actually, putting this in writing, I can see how much they hate men. Perhaps that is one reason they hate the military so much - the military produces such manly men, not the little lap-dogs they like to boss around.
