LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.

Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!

Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.

They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.

The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.

Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.

To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!

That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

He wrote about it himself on some BLOG or report he keeps. He and his whole thing are sickening and he sees the entire Cindy thing as a highway to his own media presence IMHO. Well, he and Cindy and all of their ilk are seeing today that down home, heart and true America trump all the garbage they can spew...all the day long.

...and we do not have to pay these people to be there. It is in their hearts.

I'm proud of your nephew too! Of course we want our loved ones to be safe, but I thank God every day for families like yours who are willing to be strong and faithful to their mission. God bless you all, chena

Subject: Hurricane Crawford Hey, FNC producers- get off your control room butts and swing your cameras away from New Orleans and back towards Crawford. That’s where the real storm is. Katrina won’t be here for another 12-18 hours. Besides, I can only take so much of your reporter standing on a deserted beach looking dramatically out to sea. Don’t force me to turn the channel to CNN, because I really hate those bastards. Thank you. (now, get back to work) Love ya, mean it!

ROFLMAO!

Excellent!

Those 3,000 need to get near the ranch. That is where the action is.

What I find so funny about these hurricane news conferences is that if I had a storm coming in my direction, I'd be watching my LOCAL station...not cable. Sure, I like seeing the reports as the storms hit as much as the next person, but I really don't need to listen to directions on how to get out of New Orleans when I'm in WV.

Had to post this here...with all she is saying today.


"If I truly was a media whore do you think I would like
maybe get myself fixed up a little bit before I went on?"

That is where the media will be, mark my words

I have no doubt

I wonder if Cindy and her handlers will let them in the camp?

NEW REPORT FROM BASIL IN CRAWFORD

Twenty of the great unwashed tried to crash the party! They were summarily dismissed. The media all ran over and filmed the whole incident. The crowd started yelling "Media Go Home! Media Go Home!".

Basil predicts this is the coverage that will be shown.

40 Gold Star Families that will be going over to Camp Casey around 4pm Texas time to take down crosses of their loved ones --- I'm afraid that all this will accomplish, is getting them arrested...at least as an immediate consequence..video of them being arrested..*that* would be a bitter pill for the Ghouls to swallow, when it is aired on TV.

It is so SAD Foxnews didn't deliver the goods when our troops needed them the most! I'll remember this! They have all the time in the world to show muther cindy for 3wks and the Aruba missing gal, endlessly, but can't spare an hour for our Troops and their families...I won't forget how they turned their backs on Patriotism today!
