GOP Oppo Research Targets Code Pink Co-Founder
Republicans are apparently targeting Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink, in their opposition research, as she is a bundler for Barack Obama.
According to Jonathan Martin of The Politico, GOP sources are circulating material about Evans. Martin writes, "Evans has a record of inflammatory statements such as saying that women were better off in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, "Men are dying in their Hummers in Iraq so you can drive around in yours," and, my favorite, that the invasion of Iraq amounted to "global testosterone poisoning.""
Evans is well known in Democratic politics in California, and, along with Max Palevsky, co-hosted Obama's first big Hollywood fund-raiser in February, 2007, at the Beverly Hilton. Much of the attention to that event, however, went to the three other co-hosts: DreamWorks partners Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen and Steven Spielberg.

"Evans has a record of inflammatory statements such as saying that women were better off in Iraq under Saddam Hussein."
This is only inflammatory if you're an ignoramus. It's a fact that women were better off in Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The secular Hussein afforded women much more rights than they have now. Once the Islamists took over, that all went out the window.
