LOL!
The Kerry Campaigns decision to seat Michael Moore next to Jimmy Carter on the first night of this charade, will come back to haunt them.
Prominent position? LOL I'd say he's the unofficial leader of the Democratic party.
So he didn't show up? Chicken-sh#t...
Chill Wind, thy name is Cowardice...
I'd love for that fat ass to come to Porterville and deal with some true blue collar sob's ...
Can't wait to see those pics - ONE MILLION THANKS!

LOL!
That is great. Makes me proud to be from McLennan County.
His socialist propaganda movie is still scheduled to show in a public parking lot owned by the city of Crawford (not the property of the school).
Moore Blinked and chickened out
zlala,
Was the movie held at the High School Football Stadium in Crawford?
If so, one has to wonder if they should have been allowed to show it there. That thing is built with taxpayer money.
And this movie is not a non profit flick.
I wanted to be down there with the Pro Bush gang...but I had to fly with some folks into Oklahoma early this morning.
Anyway, thank for going down there and protecting my family's home county area.
Would Moore be personally, financially responsible for the increased police presence at the event if he showed up?
If so, it's understandable why he didn't show up: He's too cheap a bastid to pay for his protection.
Actually, he might share some of it....but Skip Londos and his group of loser hippies would have to pay up as well.
And something tells me they did not. The Mayor at the Crawford area has been playing some games.
Coward.
It's 1:00 a.m. and I just got home from Crawford. I had a wonderful time! I was a bit disappointed in the conservative turnout, though. We were WAAAAAAAY outnumbered by the Moore supporters. I was glad to see other representatives of FR, as well as Protest Warrior. There were also pro-Bushies who seemed to be unaffiliated with any group. There were lots of camera crews, radio personnel and newspaper reporters. I did my best to represent GWB (and us!) well. The anti-Bush crowd was pretty well-behaved for the most part, although they were noticeably ruder on their way out than on their way in. A small group of them didn't even watch the movie; they were just there to talk to us (in hopes of brainwashing us, I'm sure). They were okay, I just tried to stay up-wind of them! Some mentioned that they weren't entirely convinced by Moore and weren't exactly gung ho over Kerry. They were nice enough, but some of them really towed the flip-flopping party line.
Mostly, things were perfectly peaceful (the cops keeping those of us holding signs separate from the major festivities may have had something to do with it!). I made the mistake of parking at the "Peace House", so I was worried that my tires my be slashed when I got back to my car, but all was well. My friends and I were perfectly polite up until the end when any number of people made ugly comments to us on their way out. I think we were the very last Bushies there, so we got the brunt of their rudeness. Not to worry, folks, we got in our share of comments. Some dingbat girl shouted to us that maybe we should go to Iraq (to see how horrible Bush has made it, presumably). One of my friends shouted that her dad is there already (we ARE from Fort Hood, after all). The girl started to say something, then stopped and asked her buddy what my friend had said. Her friend repeated that my friend's dad is in Iraq. The girl didn't have any quick response to that one, so she just yelled, "I hope he makes it back safe!" in a rudish way. My friend yelled that she (this dingbat) had no military affiliation. I shouted that she didn't have any idea what she was talking about. They just kept walking the whole time during our little exchange. But of course, by the time those girls were out of our line of vision, there were plenty more people to shout at us. We held our own. I shouted that people "shouldn't believe everything you see. I thought you guys were smarter than that!" Some said they'd see us in November. I shouted that they'd better be sure to take their flip-flops into the voting booths with them (whatever that means! I was totally fired up by then). I made sure to compliment them on their "tolerant, liberal attitude" after some moron or other made a hateful comment.
The last person I spoke to was an AP reporter. Like I said, my friends and I were the last ones around, as far as I could tell, so we got any number of people interviewing us at the end. I wish other people had been able to stay longer, but I certainly understand about getting up for work in the morning. I have to, as well. One pro-Bush group came in from Louisiana, but they stayed an admirably long time. All in all, I'd say it was a good evening. It was my very first FReep and my first protest in general. Good stuff.
