“You’re referenced several times in the book” – Buzz Patterson

I awoke this morning to a phone call from Kristinn Taylor of Free Republic.  “Buzz Patterson’s new book is out and he’s written about Code Pink,” he said, “he’s used our reports.” Kristinn was referring to the 20-part series we’ve written and published in BIG Government.

I’ve known Buzz Patterson for years, having interviewed him exactly four years ago during my days at WDBO.  Since then, he’s been on my show nearly a dozen times.  We met in Washington DC when he was involved with the pro-troop organization “Move America Forward”.

Buzz has written his fourth book, and it is making waves.  John Howard at Family Security Matters writes:

“On rare occasions, a book will appear that can alter the tide of public policy.  Such a book is Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying The Military and Endangering Our Security, by Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson (Regnery, 2010), released this day. It is a book so compelling, so revelatory, so frightening that it must prompt only one conclusion: our current international circumstances are no accident. They are the product of a philosophy so at odds with American tradition, so at variance with American values, so contrary to the very idea of American exceptionalism, that it virtually repudiates American history.”

Nothing, though, could more clearly illustrate the destructive nature of the relationships that gave rise to the Obama phenomenon than his ongoing connection to Code Pink and its founder Jodie Evans. It was Evans who introduced Obama to the fatuous and shallow Hollywood community that provided the seed money for his march to the presidency. But to say that Evans’ Code Pink undermines American interests would be to seriously minimize its appalling sedition.

Patterson, for the first time, comprehensively brings together the disparate threads that weave a tapestry of subversion by Code Pink enabled, assisted and promoted at the very highest levels of political power. Far from the benign, silly little old ladies in tennis shoes of media mythology, Code Pink is a collection of vicious radicals who deliberately undermine military morale, violently disrupt peaceful meetings and congressional hearings and, most egregiously, lend aid and comfort to America’s enemies.

They have picketed Walter Reed hospital where our fighting men and women try to recover from their war wounds with cruel and belittling invitations to the soldiers to die. They have participated in a mock war crimes trial against the United States. Its members have travelled to the Middle East to meet with Hezbollah to offer moral and financial support as it rained down missiles on innocent Israelis. They have fabricated stories of atrocities supposedly committed by United States servicemen; stories that have proven to be absolutely false. Eight months ago, just two months after sponsoring a fundraiser for President Obama, members of Code Pink went to Gaza with accused murderer Bernardine Dohrn and terrorist Bill Ayers to deliver tens of thousands of dollars in aid to Hamas supported Palestinians.

In perhaps the most stunning and incendiary revelation in this book, Patterson discloses that Code Pink delivered more than $600,000 in aid to the insurgents in Fallujah when the insurgents were killing United States Marines in bloody house-to-house fighting. Most shocking of all, when Evans and Code Pink delivered theirmoney to the murderers of American fighting men, they were traveling under letters of support and diplomatic courtesy provided by Senator Barbara Boxer of California. This is the politician Code Pink lists as its “favorite senator”. It is no surprise why. Without official help, sedition is much more challenging.

To this day, neither President Obama nor Senator Boxer has ever repudiated or, for that matter, even criticized Code Pink or its members for their acts against our service men and women and our nation’s interests.

In Part 1 of a 5-part series in today’s Human Events, Buzz Patterson writes about Conduct Unbecoming:

When I was first named to serve at the side of President Bill Clinton and carry the nuclear “football” containing the nation’s nuclear capability as a young Air Force officer, I was proud and grateful. Over the next two years, however, my experiences in the Clinton White House turned my gratitude and awe into shock, revulsion, and sorrow as I experienced the cavalier and self-serving way Clinton went about the business of running our country. I wrote my first book, Dereliction of Duty, documenting our former President’s contempt for the military, his indifference to important issues except insofar as they served his own political or personal purposes, and his failure to accept his responsibilities as our commander-in-chief. Indeed, it is my sincere belief that the dereliction of duty and negligence of Bill Clinton paved the way for the tragic events and deaths of September 11, 2001.

Now, tragically, I see history repeating itself with the presidency of Barack Obama. Only this time the conduct and dereliction of Obama and his administration are on pace to result in devastation of a much larger scale than that even of 9/11. In only a year and a half in office, Obama has not only reversed many of the successful accomplishments of his predecessor which have kept us safe; he’s done it at lightning speed. In doing so, Obama is clearly placing the United States in an increasingly vulnerable and threatened condition. As I hoped to accomplish in writing Dereliction of Duty, I again caution my nation in my new book, Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying Our Military and Endangering Our Security.

Buzz includes Obama’s close association with the treasonous Code Pink organization:

In Barack Obama we have elected a foreigner. He is a stranger in our midst. No, not in the fact that he was born in Hawaii and spent some years growing up in Indonesia, nor is it about his race, but in his approach to the land that he governs—the United States of America. We have elected a leader who is more comfortable bowing to the Japanese Emperor Akihito, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and Chinese President Hu Jintao, then he is in embracing the character, the integrity and the exceptionalism of America—and defending the land that he calls home.

Among the more egregious policies and associations of Barack Obama and his administration that I explore in Conduct Unbecoming are:

• Barack Obama’s key California fundraiser and money bundler, Jodie Evans, and her organization Code Pink delivering cash and material support to the terrorists killing Americans in Iraq.

Later, I contacted Buzz this morning about getting him on the show.  He commented on the Human Events piece, referring to a series of Code Pink exposes Kristinn Taylor and I have done at BIG Government :

The one tomorrow is a blockbuster and based on a lot of your work on Code Pink. You’re referenced several times in the book.

Buzz will be joining us on my radio program in the days ahead.  I’ll let you know the date.
