A pro-troops/pro-Bush rally will be held this Saturday in Crawford, Texas by Killeen radio station KLFX 107.3 FM and sister station KWTX 1230 AM.
The rally will begin at noon and will be held at a parking lot next to the Crawford Bank. Free hamburgers and sodas will be given away until supplies are exhausted.
A spokesman for KLFX said that those who are calling this an anti-Cindy Sheehan rally are wrong. The station wanted to have an event to offer a means for the public to show their support for the troops serving at nearby Fort Hood and their commander-in-chief in contrast to the antiwar/anti-Bush protesters descending on Crawford this week.
The station says the free cookout is meant to tweak the leftist 'hunger-strikers' in Crawford, not make fun of Cindy Sheehan.
Please. We don't need rent-a-mobs ala the DNC.
Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but is the President actually going to be there?
I'm going to make this one. My girls have been wanting to go to Crawford and they will love this. Our business is next to Fort Hood and we treat mostly military dependents. We have 13 employees and all but one of their spouses has been to Iraq (the other one went to Korea)
Not a stupid question. I don't think he'll be there. It'd be too much of a zoo. The leftists would go crazy.
Greata--hope we meet up!
The dummies are reporting that it was canceled...???

I have no idea if this is correct or not.
WOW thanks for finding this Kristinn! I appreciate it - my son and I will be there... :)
.
I tried to call the station, but no one answers. According to their web page, the office will be open at 8AM, and I'll try to get some information then. Sure hope this isn't true--but I did notice that there is nothing about it on their website.
LOVE your ribbon!! :)
Make mine a veggie burger!
I'm working on cleaning it up, sharpening colors, etc. Might repost it downthread if it turns out a lot better.

Waaaaay south of me...I'm up in the Panhandle !
Check out post #27 on DUh.... Plus, countreegurl is a relatively new poster. This person has only one other post and it's smelly as well.
I smell methane.
Clarification: The link with Post #27 is at the DUh link in Countreegurl's post.

You're going to believe them?
Why do I get this really niggly feeling that Countreegurl is Zot material?? We'll see if he/she responds to your question, but I ain't holding my breath!
I doubt it too. Stirring up trouble and running back to their den, "oh, lookie how clever I am, no one is going to show up now." I'll apologize if needed.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
