I woke up this morning to the news that hundreds of people were in a vigil last night - supporting sheehan - and saying President Bush is a war criminal. I felt very saddened by this -- and thought - they're trying to re-create the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era.

In fact, I was watching the local Fox (L.A.) outlet last night and in their plentiful coverage of the Sheehan Crawford campout, they were extolling her as "the leader of the growing anti-war movement." [I know... barf] Then, they featured "candlelight vigils" in Studio City and I forgot elsewhere with idiots holding up "Stop the War Now" signs, etcetera.

Only problem for them is this: it's a different world now -- the MSM is not the only voice. Thank God! That's why standing up like this Caravan is doing - and all those other people in our country voicing support of the President and the Troops and the War on Terror, will keep this anti-war pinkos from being successful.

I'd say we'd better get double-busy.

The candlelight vigil in Decatur got the same kind of coverage on at least one local Atlanta station (11 Alive). The "reporter" who was out there talking to people never mentioned that Axis Cindy has already met with the president and originally made favorable comments about the meeting. He ended his report along the lines of, "the people here just want the president to meet with grieving mom Cindy Sheehan for five minutes."

Needless to say, the "reporter" failed to report quite a lot.
