Camp Casey III Found!
Sweetness & Light ^ | September 19, 2005 | N/A

Posted on 09/18/2005 10:25:21 PM PDT by Sam Hill

After weeks of suspense, we now finally have documentary proof of the existence of the fabled Camp Casey III, thanks to the Veterans For Peace Katrina relief website:

Very impressive, is it not?

Mind you, the VFP have been collecting more than $120,000 a day for their Katrina relief effort. And this is the only photograph we have of Camp Casey III.

The VFP's fundraising pleas have been promulgated on a thousand leftwing websites and media organs. Cindy Sheehan has of course championed them. They're her team, after all.

Michael Moore personally vouched for them and made his site a weeks long fundraiser for them. In Moore's preposterous shilling he claimed the VFP had delivered more than 100 tons of supplies.

Moore even posted pleas to keep the "Camp Casey Kitchens" cooking, so they could continue to feed untold thousands of Katrina victims. Pretty amazing given their cramped quarters. It must work something like a clown car.

All of this would be funny, except the VFP's scam stole from the Katrina victims, and the organizations like the Red Cross, who are trying to help the victims. Organizations that the VFP endlessly call "incompetent," even as they stole their supplies.

It turns out the VFP were just another kind of looters. Looters in tie-dyed T-shirts and Birkenstocks flashing peace signs.

There were 2 camps in Crawford.

"VFP have been collecting more than $120,000 a day for their Katrina relief effort."

If anyone thinks that money will actually go to any relief effort, I have a bridge in New York I'd like to sell them.

The VFP have called it quits and pulled up stakes:

Probably just one step ahead of the law. Reports are they are being investigated by the local police, the LA Attorney General's Office and the Red Cross.

Hopefully the FBI will get involved as well, since it really was a national scam.

I hope they all go to jail.

I really like your posts. You make a great investigative journalist.

From vfproadtrips.org:

We will sit tirelessly in this ditch in Covington until a reasonable amount of aid from this government comes.

I'm speechless. I can just imagine them "tirelessly sitting". God forbid these people are actually put in charge of anything imporant - somebody might get hurt. These children need to go home and let the adults take care of business.

Thanks a lot.

As you may know, Cindy and the VFP tried to get people to send money to themselves rather than the Red Cross.

They then gave the supplies they collected (a lot of it pilfered from the Red Cross) to what Cindy called the one bright spot in a world run by Bush -- a Moslem Mosque run by a ex-con, ex Black Panther, racist Rastafarian.

It is credibly suspected that Mother Cindy called the Drudge Show tonight without identifying herself. She wanted to chide Drudge for a supposedly cavalier attitude to deaths in La. But Matt threw her off balance by recalling some 700 heat-related deaths in Chicago about ten years back. The woman quickly left the broadcast as the air was let out of her dudgeon.

Did anyone get the name she used to get on the air? I heard that clip... she's faked technical difficulties before, after she runs out of talking points and hits the end of her script.

I hope it's all DUmmies getting scammed but there's no way Dummies can give 100k+ every day. They are definitely suckering good people and deserve to fry.

Man, these people are disgusting. They never disappoint when trying to lower the bar of bad behavior. Sheehan's been cying for attention, here's her chance. Maybe the FBI will give her some.

Agreed. They will not allow the ARC and other legitimate relief agencies in, but Camp Casey can distribute good will?

Ah, but the relief agencies must not be leftist enough for the officials in NOLA.

That money they are collecting is donated to VVAW, NOT for vicims. Because VVAW is a non-profit org, they can give out a reciept, but there is NO way to know if any of it goes to victims. It's a collosal rip off. They are building up their own coffers

Further, those liars are only allowed access into one small part of the city, and it's NOT where the damage is.

ward Rielly is also cashing checks sent to Andrea Garland, another Cindy Sheeman supporter who is scamming money for "victims". There is a list of those who gave money to VVAW. We should freep those companies and tell them who VVAW is.
