Anti-war protesters camped outside U.S. President George Bush's Texas ranch are being confronted by military families who claim they are disrespectful. The war's opponents are led by California activist Cindy Sheehan, who blames Bush for her son's death in Iraq. Since Aug. 6, a group called Veterans for Peace has begun placing crosses bearing the names of dead soldiers outside the ranch. But the crosses are being taken down by the dead soldiers' family members, the Washington Times said Thursday. Anti-war protesters "never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause," said Gary Qualls, whose son was killed in Iraq. "They are not respecting our sons and daughters."

I'll bet the MSM has it's cameras fixed on the anti-war side of the street . On Aug 27 a large mass of pro Bush pro war in Iraq families will assend on Cindy's parade like rain on a picnic , but you better be watching FOX cable if you want to hear about it .
An ocean of support is one the way for the troops. And the wave is going to crash hard. Sheehans extreme rhetoric will have a backlash. Her true agenda is slowly being exposed to Americans through her very own words.
The left is nothing but bottom feeding maggots.
The threw pi$$, sh*t, blood, dirty diapers, garbage, and spit on troops in the 60's to make political points. It is no different. They need to be rounded up and deposited on the shores of the Bay of Pigs! A reverse Mariel lift of OUR GARBAGE to Kastro's land of paradise.
The fact the media so blatantly ignores those families who support the war only confirms that they no longer are in the journalism business, but rather in the advocacy business. CNN has all day to fill time and they can't spend 2 minutes interviewing Gary Qualls (or some other)?
Cindy Sheehan is comforted when she felt faint after seeing a portrait of her son Casey Sheehan at Camp Casey next to President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2005. Sheehan has returned to Texas and her anti-war vigil in honor of her son killed in Iraq. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

Foot massage one day, full body massage the next day.
Being waited on by her handlers.
Fawning press.
Party atmosphere.
Not having a job.
TV interviews.
Hotel room to retire to after the parties.
No wonder she doesn't want this to end.
Does anyone really believe she's there to get a meeting with Bush? She'd have to end her "vigil" if he met with her.
No. He was the biggest publicity choice. Click the link for more

The Dangerous Gold Star Families
by Cindy Sheehan
Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld continues to astound us Gold Star Families with his heartlessness, callousness and disrespect in the faces of our children who are being killed in the mindless invasion and occupation of Iraq.
I am one of the founding members of a group called Gold Star Families for Peace. Some of us families who have lost loved ones in this illegal and immoral war in Iraq have organized to use our collective voices to bring the tragedy of war to the fore front of America’s hearts and souls like it so tragically is in ours. We families are amazed that so few of our fellow citizens are touched by the horrors of the invasion and occupation of a sovereign country. It seems to us like the only people who are asked to sacrifice anything for the war effort are our brave young men and women fighting this so-called war and their families. There are some families in our nation like us, that have paid the ultimate price for the lies and betrayals of this current administration.
One father who did not want his son's name to be used further by Code Pink took the cross from the group. They immediatly called his son a "baby killer".
No reason for the Pro Bush people to stay on one side of the road. Be better to mix, mingle, and infiltrate the ditchwitch side. It's not like the ditchwitch owns the land she's occupying right now.
Let me get this straight.
If you're an anti-war family of a slain soldier, that soldier deserves sympathy.
If you're the family of a slain soldier and you support the war, your dead soldier is a baby-killer.
Is that about right?
Instead, make sure you and every member of your family never watch ABC, CNN, or CBS (among others) with the singular exception of the arts or sports, the history channel and the like.
Money runs the hate America media.... and nothing else.
Make sure your children and relatives spread the word.
That will hurt these bastards like nothing else.
It must not be fun to be a puppet.
Not meant for you, dear.
st not meant for you, dear.
