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.

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.

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.

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

This was probably the vigil held at the White House. While "hundreds" may be stretching it a bit, the D.C. Chapter was there 23 strong. Some of that number were just passers by who decided to join them. Read the after action report by BillF and check out the MOAB (mother of all banners).
