All this hullabaloo over only 50 protesters?
Reauters is a sorry and hurting bunch. This story is a perfect example why.
As opposed to the thousands who always showed up to FReep the `toon? </sarcasm>
On CNN now
They did not have an important tool that we are fortunate to have today. Free Republic :-)
For that reason the Heart of Texas FR chapter is sponsoring a rally in Crawford. Noon Saturday. 4th and Chisom (in the park near there at least), they have a permit.
Any word on how many FReepers are going to show up?
All this hoo-ha over 50 protesters?
How many FReepers usually showed up to protest the `toon while he was in office?
Why hasn't the ACLU tried to make them take down the crosses /sarc/
Here's a nice little bit of class warfare.
***...Decker and Strause say they expect to stay the full five weeks that Bush is on vacation. They both said they expect to suffer financially. Strause and her fiance recently bought a house and "our credit card bills are chock-full right now."
"It'll be a crunch," she said. "I'm not a trust-fund baby or anything like that." ...***

Straw man anyone?
I have never heard of a FreeRepublic event that claimed "thousands".
YUP, and now the photographic evidence has found:

Are Cindy's pants on fire?
No, she is undoubtably glad she lives in a country where she can bad mouth the men and women who assure her the right to blame the President fo her sons death.
I just wonder if she realizes what would happen to her if she tried a similar protest in an Islamic nation against the mullahs who sent Muslim boys to murder Iraqi civilions and her son?
fo=for. Proofread twice, post once.
Cindy Sheehan has run smack dab into common liberal cognitive dissonance. To many liberals, conservatives don't just disagree with them, they are evil. So when a liberal has someone they love turn who is conservative, as her patriotic hero son was, she has a problem with her worldview: either her son is evil or he was mightily deluded. To preserve her own worldview, she has to believe her son was deluded. Too bad. It keeps her from honoring the real person her son was during his life. And it keeps her from working through her grief by honoring his life. Sad all around.
Problem is, with it being so small, she could deny it all day. I understand the full size photo's are no longer available.
50
5-0!
What a NON-story!
Sheesh! 50 frickin nuts and Reuters does a story of several paragraphs?
Do these people have no shame? Must they always use the fallen to advance their cause? The fact that they do this should tell us all that their ideas have no merit on their own.
Nor did they ever get 0.001% of the media attention mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeehan is getting.
