Well, she was right, it was in the hundreds - 30 or 40 hundred.

The following is a photo essay from a young man from the Fort Worth area who is not YET a freeper. The commentary is exclusively his:

"Here they are!!!! Our pictures from the "Cindy, You don't Speak for me Tour"!!!! I just wanted to send these to y'all to share this amazing experience as I joined up with MoveAmericaForward to take my stand supporting our troops!! I told them to check out the website.

To our surprise there were no peace loonies bathing naked in the water...they had scattered like flies at first sight of our caravan!!!!


Think this...and then multiply it by 1500 and u'd get a little visual of how the parking area looked!!!


Supporters line up to sign a letter to W while others prepare for the rally under the tent!


One of the more touching parts of the rally: this large flag had the names of family members and friends in Iraq and messages of hope and inspiration!



A packed house!


The 60's might be over, but there are still lost souls of the "do-nothing-peace side" that need to be educated in symbolism!


I love the sign on the left!!!


Showing up the boy from "Deliverance"! Nothing like some good-feeling, pro-American, country music!!! The banjo player, Richard Simms, proudly volunteers to entertain the USO at D/FW airport!!!!


A little cunning, conservative creativity!
Signing a flag to send to our brave troops!


We'll be right behind this guy, too!!!! Haha!


Just when you thought the trucks had gotten as big as they could get...!
Lots of soldier parents and vets showed up in force at Crawford!




Supporters, undeterred by the heat, filled the entire area as they treaded on ground that just a week ago had been infested with liberal pests!!!!
I think this one got a little lost. He's calling for a friendly, neighborhood Camp Cindy Kumbayamobile to come pick him up.
Camp Reality


He already has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What an uplifting lookin group!!! Hehe!


If beauty can ever be used to represent political ideology well let this be the example: he is the representative from TruthOut.org!! So what we learn here is simply this: butt ugly=disgruntled and whining liberal. This man got in our faces to the point that my dad chewed him out! After asking him to leave he'd just stand around filming our faces. Finally, a sheriff came over and threatened to arrest him. Even better, we asked him who he represented and he said the media, which is unbias so we shouldn't worry about a thing!!! Haha! That put up a red flag up!

I loved (sarcasm) the two photos from Crawford on the front page of the commie-rag Austin American-Statesman this morning.

1. Large group of people in front of US flag..a man front & center holding a sign "Support Troops = Support Mission." His mouth is open (caught in mid-chant) and he looks angry.

2. Two women hugging. In the foreground, slightly blurred, all the little white crosses. A sad, weepy, tender shot.

Subliminal MSM Message: "Look at all these redneck thugs come to town to terrorize these helpless grieving mothers."

The Crawford FReepers done good!

This article mentions 3000-4000 Bush supporters, yet I've seen reports from AP(I think it was AP) that said no more than 1500..guess who I believe..

Of the 1500 of "Cindi's Group", there may be 400 or 500 liberal media counted as part of it. And the media normally exaggerates liberal crowds.

Sure does/is Angelwood.

an unidentified Cindy Sheehan supporter

Unidentified my behind!!!

that she will be arrested if she does not stay on the Camp Casey 1 side of the road across from the pro-Bush protesters

And it is her MO. She can't seem to stay with her gang of losers. Always in the faces of the patriots!

So if Hannity goes to Gitmo, this will accomplish something...exactly what?

I don't follow you. I guess I don't understand why you are slamming a guy who so strongly supports the troops and who doesn't forget those who lose loved ones who served.

Meh, some people are just born angry.

For a while, no doubt, but lives are at stake in LA, so it should. I pray all our friends in LA will be safe!!

The rally will not be forgotten however. Have no fear!

The following is the continuation (see post 62) of a photo essay from a young man from the Fort Worth area who is not YET a freeper. The commentary is exclusively his:


My dad's famous sign was ranked by FoxNews as the #1 sign in Crawford!! We kept chanting it to the other side throughout the day!



Supporters came in all shapes and sizes!!!


I made this sign on the spot! "Cindy, don't capitalize on a patriot's death!!" This one got much attention and whining from the other side while each vehicle that drove by went crazy honking in support!!! My fellow conservative friend talked so directly to the kooks that the sheriffs came over and spoke to him, saying his remarks might "emotionally damage" them! Haha!
Right right right...freedom and democracy I guess is not a noble cause to this lady!


Both of these men are proud vets making sure what happened to them during Vietnam doesn't happen to our brave troops over in Iraq!


This vet was one of my favorites!!!!! He loudly proclaimed that he served his nation for 25 years so these kooks can commit treason!!!


Doing what they do best: dress vintage, sing of flowers, and dance like they're stoned! The lady with the picture of the soldier was extremely disgraceful to that young man: She danced around in a circle swinging his picture around like some worthless object!!!



Sheriffs taking off that same girl you had seen dancing in the previous picture!!! Her dancing just looked too much like she was stoned! Haha! Actually, she had been yelling irrelevant points the whole time!


Though they might be from the other side, I still felt like showing that we aren't bigots, ignorant, or hypocritical. I discussed Cindy's San Francisco State speech, Code Pink's funding for the insurgency, and Cindy's refusal to pay taxes. He asked me also how I felt about President Bush passing bills to support the highways and not VA benefits before going on vacation. I just shot him down as I pointed out that the president has nothing to do with passing those bills and while serving as a senate page this last month that I am against the highway bill, however only four senators in the entire senate voted against it. Only a handful also voted in favor of the VA bill, so they were out of line trying to place the blame on Bush.

Comment from Taxrelief: Pretty together kid for 18 years old, eh? We'll have to work on getting him to sign up on FR!

Perhaps we ought to turn the tables on her and ask her a few pointed questions. We should be just as vehement about meeting with her so we can ask her why is she lying that she's doing this for her son when in fact she's been a leftist from the beginning and using her son's death (who volunteered twice, against her wishes I'm sure) as the leftist propaganda tool, when in fact he would be opposed to that.

She needs to be exposed for what she is - not a grieving mother but a shrieking hater of America!

Well about two years ago he started talking about going to visit the troops in the field if it could be arranged, well things came up like a new book and a new contract with the mouse.

All talk about going to see the troops stopped and ceased after the new contract.

So I figure the mouse won't let him go, and you notice how defensive he and his supporters are when the subject is brought.

As I said rush went, tony snow went, even rusty Humphreys went.

So why or why can't SH.

It must be the mouse, and he satisfies his conscious by hanging with real heroes when he is a wannabe.

SH you must go or quit.

"It is obvious that someone with deep pockets or access to tax dollars is funding the left."

How about Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, et al for starters?
Then there's the Soros moola! All liars who "can't handle the truth"!




Many thanks, Veronica, for posting this article that gives us encouragement!
