The witchy women of Code Pink

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 8, 2008 09:13 PM

It’s true. The nutballs of Code Pink have turned to witchcraft to wage their battle against the military recruiting center in Berkeley. Catherine Moy at Move America Forward first reported the new moonbat technique:

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.”

Moonbats howling at the moon.

Par for the course in Berzerkeley.

From the Fox News story on the Code Pink coven:

Capt. John Paul Wheatcroft said he’s unfazed by Code Pink’s antics.

“They’re always in pink and wear funny things, half-shaved heads, one side with hair and the other one bald, yeah, I’m pretty much used to anything,” he told FOXNews.com.

How about the Eagles’ “Witchy Women” to help set the mood?

    Folks, the best thing I’ve heard about all this is that the Marines say they are recruiting an average of 10 officer candidates a week; much, much higher than they were before Code Stink started this crap.

    Thanks, Code Stink!

    I live 2 miles north of Berkeley. I always make a point of going past this recruiting station every time I go to campus at UC Berkeley, which is often.

    I always wave at the Code Stink cows and remind them that I am a veteran, my brother is a retired Colonel, my dad is a retired BG, etc.

    They are not happy with me.

    All I want now is my Gitmo Gift Shop shirt, Michelle. Please find some way to let us buy the things online. I will wear mine in Berkely every weekend and send pix to you.

    These people are such idiots, theirs asinine protests actually
    help the recruiters:

    “Ironically, it’s actually helped us by putting our name out. We’re now well known. And people know who we are, and where we are, and they come in to talk to us about enlisting. They’ve gotten us the publicity that we could’ve never afforded to pay for ourselves,” Wheatcroft told FOXNews.com.

    “Just in the last three weeks, 10 people came in looking to apply, looking to become Marine officers, and that’s much higher than normal,” he said.

    These people could not be more retarded. It’s so offensive to me that they use their political agenda and fake concern for those “poor deluded children” who got suckered into joining the military, to further their own self-serving, desperate bids for attention. They really do act like spoiled, bratty children.

    Now if we can just get someone to turn them into newts, except maybe the kind that they won’t get better.
    Maybe they could get turned into Newt Gingrich’s. That would blow their pointy little hats off.

    Does this really mean that Berkeley City Council, and their actions are inadvertently responsible this increased recruitment?

    Awesome!

    Still all government funding of Berkeley should be cutoff.

    Make the City Council do community service “For the Marines”, like Code Pink does now.

    Increase the size of the recruitment center there, and use Berkeley to train Marines “under hostile conditions” to exceed their recruitment goals. Everybody wins!!!

    Thanks Code Pink!

    I see you on the Fox News/Live Stream, “Stay at your posts, the country needs you”. I expect you to be there ALL the time.

    As a conservative, Reagan-voting, military-supporting attorney who is also a witch, I couldn’t agree more. I apparently didn’t get the memo that says all Wiccans/pagans are required to be fruitcake lefties. There are fringe elements in every religion who are absolutely off the map (Westboro Baptist Church, for example). There are plenty of my colleagues in the Craft who are business owners, professionals, and politically conservative.
