CODE PINK STOLE DELEGATE’S IDENTITY TO GET INTO RNC CONVENTION!!!!

BUSTED!! CODE PINK TOOK DELEGATE’S IDENTITY TO GAIN ACCESS INSIDE XCEL CENTER!

** HERE ** IS THE AUDIO-VIDEO FROM THE CONVERSATION WE HELD WITH THE VICTIM!

HERE IS THE PREVIOUS POST FROM THIS MORNING–

Code Pink published a report on their interruption of the Sarah Palin speech on Wednesday night. Marxist member Medea Benjamin and Top Obama Bundler Jodie Evans were dragged out of the Xcel Center without much disruption. From the other side of the stage (where I was sitting) you did not even know they had tried to sabotage Governor Palin:

Co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, who were given their tickets to the speech by a Republican delegate who was frustrated with the Republican party and Sarah Palin, caught the attention of Palin with their banners and shouting about 15 minutes into her speech. Palin stopped talking for a moment to turn to look at them. (Read a Washington Post description of the incident here: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/03/inside_the_convention_hall.html).

Jonn Lilyea did some investigating and discovered that Top Obama supporter Jodie Evans was wearing the name tag of alternate delegate Annie Eckrich from Indiana:

This Ain’t Hell has more on Eckrich saying she is an alternate delegate and RNC contributor.

UPDATE—–
CODE PINK STOLE DELEGATE’S IDENTITY TO GET INTO RNC CONVENTION!!!!

We just got off the phone with Annie Eckrich from Indiana.
She was at the convention each day.
She DID NOT GIVE CODE PINK PERMISSION TO USE HER IDENTITY!
CODE PINK STOLE HER IDENTITY!!!

Annie was very upset that the radical antiwar group stole her identity. She was not familiar with the Code Pink movement. She has no idea how they came across her name.

UPDATE: Annie Eckrich wrote the following comment below after our conversation:

I am Annie Eckrich and have no connection to these people what so ever. As I see the name tag, I missed 2 programs and they may have had a name tag with my name,but none of my credentials as they were only with me at the convention. Please be assured that I have been tried and true Republican since I was 18 years old.

UPDATE 2: Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin explained in an interview how she got in the RNC Convention, via Michelle Malkin:

We’d been asking around if anbody had extra passes… Just an hour before we got in there someone said, “Oh, I’m not going back in. Here’s some credentials.”

Of course, she’s lying.

UPDATE 3: There may be an MSNBC connection.

    FYI- This was posted on PINKTank- CODEPINK’s new blog (by the blog Admin) in response to a commenter’s accusation that Jodie Evans, CODEPINK cofounder, stole the badge from Annie Eckrich to interrupt Palin’s speech at the RNC.

    “The photo of Jodie Evans with the badge of Annie Eckrich was NOT from the RNC it was from an event earlier that day with Phyllis Schlafly at her “Life of the Party” party.

    The badges for the Xcel Center were not simple sticker labels but plastic neck badges (if they had been, there likely would have been more interruptions). Annie Eckrich notes in a post on the People’s Press Collective that she had her badges with her the entire time and that would be correctly stated, as no one from CODEPINK stole her badge to infiltrate Palin’s or McCain’s speech. We find (not too) surprising that Annie Eckrich was hunted down for comment but as far as we know no one has tried to contact Jodie Evans about how she came upon the badge.
