MAF makes a mess of Code Pink’s witches brew with a little “salt to taste”

The Bay Area chapter of Code Pink had a schedule of events all week long on this, the week of Mother’s Day.

They had bring-your-daughter (indoctrinate and brainwash your youngins) day

They had a mother’s day and grandma’s day too

Today they had Witches, Crones and Sirens day. Why? I don’t know… maybe witchcraft is just a female theme? Maybe they just had too much Frogs Breath and Dragons Eggs lying around and they had to get rid of them, who knows.

Code Pink showed up early so they could be on Fox News, who came to report on their shenanigans. Move America Forward, not to be outdone, was also there early with our broom sticks to mock Code Pink’s witches

MAF also brought some SALT to pour around the recruiting center, because as every good witch-hunter knows, salt will block the evil spells!

So the witches had their cauldron out, and performed several bizarre little rituals, none of which I really understood.

They erected this little altar that was a real hodgepodge of anything associated with religions or superstitions.

They tried to burn something in their cauldron.

They got a citation for that, which was hilarious to all our patriots who came by to denounce the attempted witching of the Marines.

We had a few ladies who stopped by who are just local supporters. One supporter who stopped by mused about whether or not the mass of legitimate practicing wiccans out there were insulted by Code Pink embarrassing their religion. I wasn’t so sure but it sounded like a likely and compelling possibility to me.

A young man who stopped by later on said that while he was a liberal himself, he was absolutely ashamed at the Berkeley City Council and angry at Code Pink for misrepresenting Berkeley. He said several times, “I grew up in Berkeley, I’m a liberal, and I will tell you; this is NOT BERKELEY”

We knew that not all of Berkeley’s population was on board with Code Pink, but now with the dwindling numbers of people attending their protests and the increasing ridiculousness of their gimmicks, perhaps the people of Berkeley are growing weary of this insane crusade.

Usually I delight in making fun of Code Pink, but by the end of today I almost felt bad because they just made it far too easy. All their chants and spells were just so off-the-wall that it was like…I don’t even really have to be here, they are making fools of themselves.

I really laughed out loud –obnoxiously so- when they had one particular chant of “we are the change, we are the ones they’ve been waiting for” …or something like that

Whatever it was, it was just such self-important hippie nonsense I couldn’t help but keel over in gut bursting chuckling.

We at MAF continue to monitor Code Pink and will bring you the next episode in their gradual slide into madness… keep watching, same moon-bat time, same moon-bat channel!
