That didn’t take long.

Code Pink, the tasteless, annoying, anti-American noise machine that delighted in harassing members of the Bush Administration has already turned on Obama. Despite the fact that they enjoyed front row seats at his inauguration, they’ve got their undies in a twist over Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. How dare he defend America!

Check out this graphic from their website.  Obama = Bush, Afghanistan = Vietnam….

Talk about hopeless. I’d be pissed if I was Obama. Ingrates!

Behold further proof that the anti-war movement has very little to do with war. Code Pink is the same group that disrupted numerous hearings on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, at one point even assualting Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice with fake blood on their palms.

This is the same Code Pink that shamefully disrupted a hearing in the House from General Petraeus in 2007.

Now they’ve conveniently discovered that America’s presence in Afghanistan is very important. I’m sure this has nothing to do with our new president, who just happens to be a Democrat.

What a difference a D makes.

“Code Pink, founded in 2002 to oppose the US invasion of Iraq, is one of the more high-profile women’s antiwar groups being forced to rethink its position as Afghan women explain theirs: Without international troops, they say, armed groups could return with a vengeance – and that would leave women most vulnerable.”

“We would leave with the same parameters of an exit strategy but we might perhaps be more flexible about a timeline,” says Benjamin. “That’s where we have opened ourselves, being here, to some other possibilities. We have been feeling a sense of fear of the people of the return of the Taliban. So many people are saying that, ‘If the US troops left the country, would collapse. We’d go into civil war.’ A palpable sense of fear that is making us start to reconsider that.”

“Code Pink says it will continue to oppose sending more troops to Afghanistan – a move facing heated debate in Washington – and advocate for more funding for aid and humanitarian projects instead.”

Byron York of the Washington Examiner saw this coming months ago and he was right…

“Remember the anti-war movement? Not too long ago, the Democratic party’s most loyal voters passionately opposed the war in Iraq. Democratic presidential candidates argued over who would withdraw American troops the quickest. Netroots activists regularly denounced President George W. Bush, and sometimes the U.S. military (“General Betray Us”). Cindy Sheehan, the woman whose soldier son was killed in Iraq, became a heroine when she led protests at Bush’s Texas ranch.”

“That was then. Now, even though the United States still has roughly 130,000 troops in Iraq, and is quickly escalating the war in Afghanistan — 68,000 troops there by the end of this year, and possibly more in 2010 — anti-war voices on the Left have fallen silent.”

It seems the left was staying silent just long enough to see what Obama was going to do. Now they’re re-shifting their positions to match his. It’s pathetic.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

The Politico reports:

“Is the mission now survival?”

“Like other peace groups whose support and interest have waned as the economy has taken center stage, Code Pink is trying to stay relevant by shifting its focus.”

“On Saturday, this maneuver will be put on display in Lower Manhattan, when Code Pink joins in a rally led by another anti-war group, United for Peace and Justice, to address the military action in Iraq and Afghanistan and the economic crisis.”

Of course the mission is survival. Now that Code Pink knows Obama, the candidate they supported, is every bit the “warmonger” they accused Bush of being, how can they possibly continue to make the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan their focus? Short answer: they can’t.

Politico goes on to say:

“Last week, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) — one of the staunchest opponents of the Iraq war — got a blast of the Code Pink treatment when a couple of its members interrupted a hearing where Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was testifying.”

“In a telephone interview, Code Pink’s Benjamin tried to cast this liberal-on-liberal skirmish as a badge of honor for her group, proof that it’s not on the cuff of any political party.”

Whaaaaaa?????  Not on the cuff of any political party?

One rarely has the chance to see such carefully prepared hypocrisy.

Code Pink made a hobby of loudly disrupting ANY Republican related event they could sneak into for the last few years.

Additionally, these moonbats were major supporters of Barack Obama, to the point where they were given front row seats at his coronation inauguration.

Code Pink is obviously trying to stay relevant in a political atmosphere that brutally points out their laughable partisanship and hypocrisy.

Methinks they doth protest too much.

Obama’s dropping bombs on Pakistan and Times Online has a few things to say about it.

“Missiles fired from suspected US drones killed at least 15 people inside Pakistan today, the first such strikes since Barack Obama became president and a clear sign that the controversial military policy begun by George W Bush has not changed.”

“…….locals also said that three children lost their lives.”

So what’s it going to be this time Code Pink?

Will you sneak into a hearing and assault Obama with fake blood on your hands?

Or will you create a giant Obama effigy and throw shoes at it?

Certainly, you’ll hold President Obama to the same standards by which you judged the Bush Administration.  Surely, your criticisms weren’t based solely on partisanship.

America waits eagerly to see your newest protest.

Thousands of angry hope -n- changers were unable to witness today’s coronation despite the fact that they paid for tickets to be there.

CBS in New York reports:

“We’re here for this and we can’t see anything so it’s frustrating,” said Tina Painter, a Brooklyn resident who traveled to Washington for the event.”

Awww, too bad.

“We got our tickets, we paid our money, we brought our money to the economy and we couldn’t get in,” said an angry spectator, holding up his ticket to show where he should be.”

Maybe his seats were scooped by the oh-so-patriotic women of Code Pink.

“All this for nothing. They give us ticket, we’re all here to support the new president and then they turn you away,” said another upset visitor.”

How sad for these loyal cultists. They probably traveled for miles for a chance to boo President Bush and a glass of Kool-Aid.

Who am I talking about? Why CODE PINK of course!

You know, Code Pink who tried to shut down the military recruitment offices in California.

Code Pink who assaulted Condoleezza Rice at a hearing of the House Foreign Relations Committee.

Code Pink who stole press badges to interrupt the Republican National Convention during John McCain’s speech, an act they would have drawn blood for had someone done it to Obama.

Code Pink who traveled to IRAN last fall to meet with known enemies of the United States who would sooner see them dressed in burkas than shooting their mouths off in public.

Code Pink, whose founder is a sympathizer of Hugo Chavez.

Code Pink, whose founder hates American Marines but calls for their help when she’s in trouble.

Yeah. Them.
