MIDI - SAN FRANCISCO

If you're going to Crawford, Texas...make sure you take Old Glory there with you
If you are going to Crawford, Texas...Al Jazeera is watching what you do

For those who go to Crawford, Texas...some aging hippies are stinking up the place
You'll confront them in Crawford, Texas...they're such airheads and really a disgrace

They're in celebration...with hate for our nation
Yeah, they are disgusting
Enemies they are helping...with their anti-war yelping
Of them, never be trusting...never be trusting

So raise your voice in Crawford, Texas
To tell our soldiers we're with them all the way
They will hear you from Crawford, Texas
For their safety, we're praying every day

If you're going to Crawford, Texas....our troops will know that we pray for them every day

LOL The show is called Newswatch. And you are so right about it being a lame show.

I could get as good of (actually better) soundbites from doing man on the street interviews about the media coverage of various events.

That Jane Hall and that dipweed lefty guy are so uselessly liberal and trite. Jim and Cal, they seem neutered, and Jim speaks in such a fast, stuttering way, that even if he made a decent point you cannot understand half of it.

They have a little club there and just like the U.S. Senate, it is all about their little club - not the American people or the national interest.

Thousands converge on Crawford for dueling rallies
By ANGELA K. BROWN
Associated Press

Steve Ueckert / Chronicle
A caricature of President Bush protrudes from a car driven through Crawford this morning before the 'We Support Our Troops and Their Mission' rally.

CRAWFORD — This one-stoplight town of 700 residents near President Bush's ranch braced for thousands of visitors today, most in a cross-country caravan for a pro-Bush rally and others to support Cindy Sheehan's anti-war demonstration.
More than 3,000 people were expected at the school football stadium for a pro-Bush rally, the culmination of the "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" tour that started last week in California.
It would be the largest counter protest since Sheehan started camping out off the road leading to Bush's ranch Aug. 6, soon after his Texas vacation began. She vowed to remain unless he talked to her about the war with Iraq that claimed the life of her son Casey and more than 1,870 other U.S. soldiers.
The pro-Bush caravan was coordinated by Move America Forward, a group led by former Republican California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian and Sal Russo, the strategist who in 2003 launched one of the two simultaneous efforts to recall California's then-governor, Democrat Gray Davis.
Meanwhile, hundreds were expected at Sheehan's camp for a somber ceremony today honoring soldiers serving in Iraq. The protest, which has swelled from dozens on weekdays to about 1,000 the past two weekends, will end Wednesday.

Sheehan, of Vacaville, Calif., said that after the protest ends, some of the group will spread its message on a tour, with the first stop probably in the southeast Texas district of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Republican.
Bush has said he appreciates Sheehan's right to protest and understands her anguish but will not change his schedule to meet with her. His vacation is to end Sept. 2.
Sheehan and other grieving families met with Bush about two months after her son died last year, before she became a vocal opponent of the war.
Crawford has not seen this big a crowd since the scathing documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown last summer on a screen at the football field, drawing about 3,000 people. The screening was organized by the Crawford Peace House, which also is helping Sheehan. Earlier that night, more than 300 Bush supporters held a rally to counter the showing of the film.

Unfortunately, it would be very bad politics to do so. He needs to remain above all of this. But, I am sure he is there, supporting the troops, in spirit.

Typical of the MSM...Don't forget the template...if its good for Bush, then they A)ignore it or B)Bury it in the back pages...If they think its bad news then they hammer it on the front lines...Typical Liberal Media Bias...

I thought the "yellow ribbon" went waaay back. I remember seeing a western movie as a kid & they sang "Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon" at the home coming of a young cowboy. Any relation to todays yellow ribbon?

Fox better come through and show just how big this thing is. They'd better show the troops watching in Iraq and Afghanistan just how many of us are there! If Fox doesn't come through, then they have caved and become part of the MSM.

Here is some excellent news. AP filed an updated story about 45 minutes ago. It actually reports the fact that the counter-protest is huge.
