THOSE VILE PEOPLE – AT 8:36 A.M. ET:  My contempt for the so-called "anti-war" movement is total.  "Anti-war" activists, as we've pointed out before, are often nothing more than party-line leftists marching against any war America has a chance to win.  Their true nature has been covered up by the mainstream media for decades.

I well recall visiting "anti-war" demonstrations during Vietnam, when I was an editor at The New York Times.  I'd see these fools marching down Fifth Avenue in New York chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh," not exactly an anti-war chant.  I'd then return to my newspaper and see everything sanitized.  These old reds would suddenly become "anti-war activists."

They have sunk to many lows.  In May they may outdo themselves.  The prime minister of Israel, a country despised on the left because it's an ally of the United States, will be visiting Washington.  Leftist groups are combining to give him a hot reception.  These are the same groups who have remained silent in the face of the Arab revolutions.  And during this leftist insanity in Washington, Code Pink will give an award to one of its heroines.

Who will that awardee be?

It's Helen Thomas, fired from her White House press job because of open anti-Semitism, which she then followed by even more anti-Semitism.  A major journalism award named for her at Wayne State University was cancelled.

But Code Pink will honor her.

How low are these people willing to go?  Well, we know that it's pretty low.  In 1940 the hard left endorsed the Hitler-Stalin pact, essentially aligning themselves with fascism.  (One of the great myths is that the left opposes fascism.  In fact, the left will work with fascists whenever it's convenient.) 

We hope there are, somewhere in the mainstream media, some brave souls who will finally exposes Code Pink for what it is – an anti-American hate group made up of left-wing extremists, who now honor an unabashed bigot.  But we will probably hope in vain.  In all probability, we'll still see Code Pink described as an "anti-war" group.
