Rev. Al Sharpton plans to join 'Peace Mom'

NEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton plans to join peace activist Cindy Sheehan, known as the Peace Mom, on Sunday near President Bush's Texas ranch.

Sharpton's office said Thursday he would participate in a prayer vigil Sunday with Sheehan in Crawford, Texas. Sheehan returned on Wednesday to Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq.

Sheehan began her vigil on the road leading to Bush's ranch Aug. 6, vowing to stay through his monthlong vacation unless he met with her. She left last week to visit her 74-year-old mother, who had suffered a stroke, in Los Angeles.

Sheehan's protest in Crawford has encouraged anti-war activists to join her and prompted peace vigils nationwide. But Sheehan continues to draw harsh criticism from those who support the U.S. effort in Iraq.

Sheehan plans to leave Crawford at the end of August and embark on a bus tour ending in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24.

Oh no! The credibility and dignity a high level persona like Al Sharpton can lend to this protest will surely turn the tide against Bush! /sarcasm

"Honest Joe" Wilson, the "unbiased" traveler to Niger, is also supporting the insurgent supporters against the evil Jooooos and the president.
Now Al can Bash bush for Muslim terrorist racism, Joan Bias can write a little tune to back up the show, and we'll have the the 2006 elections all wrapped up by the end of the summer!

This poor, stupid woman is just the latest Democrat gimmick in their effort to regain some kind of political power. The "Reverend Al" is just jumping on because he sees that the media decision to hype this may indeed have some of the desired effect.

I figure the basic decision was made in newsrooms across Manhattan that, "Hey, maybe this could work" and from there they began expending both air time and ink to test fly the idea. Now, fringe types like "Reverend Al" are coming aboard and soon it'll be Hilary and John Kerry if they think the wind is blowing the right way.

Traitors all, of course, but the problem is compounded by George Bush still running up this "religion of peace" crap and pushing Israel to give up more of its land every week.

LOL, and she's got the homos, baby killers, NOW hags, Commies, race baiter's, drug pushers, and the homeless all with their issue banners in tow!
It's gonna be one hell of a Welstone funerally in Washington. Casey's body will be propped up to the right of the stage, and every liberal will go up, one by one, and stand next to the corpse to get their picture taken wearing an "Elect Howard Dean" campaign button stuck through their filthy, torn, smelly, tie dyed tee shirts.

So, whaznu, first bro Al, followed by rev Jesse, they can't help it, innate urges are at work.

But, they had damned well better watch out for a hit and run if the McCainiac thinks someone is getting more camera face time than he.

When someone is making news Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson start following them around like two dogs chasing a female in heat.

When I heard Jesse jump on the bandwagon last week I knew Al wouldnt be far behind.
