VIDEO— Code Pink & Muslim Brotherhood Held Joint Protests Together BACK IN 2008

Someone needs to send this to Bill Kristol

Did anyone else see Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin at the Cairo protests last week?

The radical anti-American Marxist founder of the far left group sure appeared at ease as she walked around Tahrir square and handed out roses.

Now we know why.
Code Pink and the far left has had a long relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood terror group.
They held a joint anti-Mubarak protest together back in 2008.

Here’s the video—–

“It’s the same case.”
In 2008 Cindy Sheehan said her son’s death in Iraq and the imprisonment of Muslim Brotherhood members was the same thing.

Cindy Sheehan traveled to Egypt in February 2008. She was there to protest for the release of the Muslim Brotherhood members detained by the Mubarak regime.
Aljazeera interviewed Cindy in Cairo:

Aljazeera: But what does the US have to do with a military trial in Egypt?

Cindy Sheehan: If we [America] really want to promote democracy in this region then we cannot silence the voices of the Muslim Brotherhood because they’re the moderate voice here and they are the ones who are actually working for democracy.

Aljazeera: Have you spoken to many of the families of the defendants in the military trial? Have you spoken to many female members of the Brotherhood mother-to-mother?

Cindy Sheehan: My conversations with the mothers and children of the detainees have been really emotional. They told me about the hardships [the arrests and trials] have placed on their families, from financial hardships to emotional and physical hardships.

It is very emotional for me because my family has gone through the same things since my son died. It has been really hard for us.

Ben Johnson at FrontPage Magazine wondered what Casey Sheehan’s death has to do with the radical ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Good question.

These radical anti-American groups have been working together for years.
