A secret admirer in the liberal media gave Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin access into Barack Obama’s speech yesterday.
Kristinn Taylor at Breitbart reported:

The National Defense University Public Affairs office issued a statement that Benjamin came in through the media.

NDU STATEMENT ON DISTURBANCE DURING PRESIDENT’S SPEECH
The individual who continued to attempt to interrupt the President’s speech at the National Defense University was given access via the list of media attendees expected. When it was apparent this individual would not be deterred by the President’s effort to address her concerns, officials from the National Defense University staff and Base Police asked her to leave and escorted her from the venue. She has been questioned by Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall police.

This speech was not open to the general public. Attendance for non-media was limited to invited guests from the National Defense University faculty, staff, and student body, along with those invited by the White House.

Please address any additional questions to the White House Press Office.

Kristinn added this on Benjamin’s radical background.

Like Code Pink, Obama has worked to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without U.S. victories. Like Code Pink, Obama has worked to close the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Like Code Pink, Obama worked with the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow the Egyptian government of staunch U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak. Like Code Pink, Obama worked to overthrow Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, even after he gave up his nuclear weapons program and allied with the U.S. against al Qaeda. Like Code Pink, Obama ignored Iran’s Green Revolution and threw in with the mullahs and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And, like Code Pink, Obama ‘palled around’ with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn (Code Pink palled around with Cathie Wilkerson as well.)

They share the same beliefs and are both have radical activist backgrounds. No wonder Obama thought Medea Benjamin was worth paying attention too.

UPDATE: Kristinn sent in this photo of Medea with her media ticket.
