Code Pink’s anti-war cadre outside the U.S. Marines military recruiting station in Berkeley is still at it. Tomorrow is “Witches, clowns and sirens” day. Yep, we’ve come a long way, baby.
But according to this story, the continual obnoxious behavior by the women in this organization — including having elderly grandmothers pound on the recruiting station’s door — has backfired.
But if events this week are an attempt by anti-war protesters to remarket their cause, the Marine recruiters in Berkeley tell FOXNews.com that Code Pink’s presence outside their office has helped — not hindered — their mission.
“Ironically, it’s actually helped us by putting our name out. We’re now well known. And people know who we are, and where we are, and they come in to talk to us about enlisting. They’ve gotten us the publicity that we could’ve never afforded to pay for ourselves,” Wheatcroft told FOXNews.com.
“Just in the last three weeks, 10 people came in looking to apply, looking to become Marine officers, and that’s much higher than normal,” he said.
