"the simmering controversy"

Only in the Hysteric Left's day dreams.Despite all the money Moveon.org paid to Freen Communications to stage manage Sheehan's "protest" the only people who are agreeing with her are the same 10-15% fringe wackos who ran around after 9-11 screaming "we deserved" 9-11. Add that to the 20% Nothing matters because the DNC told me I had to hate Bush crowd, and you can see Sheehan is only preaching to the choir. Going to be really funny to watch when reality smacks the Leftys in the faces AGAIN. They are going to go absolutely ballistic just like they did in Nov 1994 when we threw the Dims out of Congress. Going to be funny as hell to watch them scream about how "Stupid" all us "trailer trash rednecks" are. Funny how the Hysteric Left always seems to think calling people names "Wins" the argument.

The media coverage was awful. Oh, well, we sure had fun!! It was a great rally. It would be nice if the media would be fair, though. (Duh.)

Channel 26 had the best coverage.

I guess you noticed where the Bee buried the story this morning ... page 2 of the local section. On page 1 of the local was an article by one of their columnists about the peace movement.

Deborah Johns was right, continue to only report the negative and you will finally change public opinion.

Here are a few pictures that Stuart sent to be posted. I had to reduce them so much to get them uploaded to Fotki, that they lost some of their sharpness.

I may try to upload them to another server later to see if it makes a difference.









I will try to get some more posted later. We had fun and did get lots of media coverage .... just wish they had done a better job.

Thanks for the ping. I somehow missed this in the paper. Glad to see Jeff quoted. Wish we could have been there darn it!

[ladyinred]

Also friends from our rallies who we have not seen for several months. Elena Sarah John

They were there? That's great!

Another time, another event - you'll make it.

God bless our dedicated, energetic freepers listed who were there in the flesh last night. You are truly walking the walk.

Those of us who live too many miles away are with you in the spirit!

I will post more tomorrow.

We had fun while showing support for our troops. I hope the media gets the message that we do not agree with the sentiments of Cindy Sheehan.

I wish I could have made the trip to Crawford. I'm sure it will be an awesome experience.

[Brad’s Gramma]

They look so CLEAN!!!!! And they're SMILING!

:)

Unlike the "other side". Thanks SO MUCH for the pics!!!

[Enterprise]

Good Pics !

[JustAmy]

Stuart sent 17 pictures for me to post.

I will try to get some more posted tomorrow.

I don't know if anyone else was told this by the individual in his 50's that came to the rally. His son just revolunteered for a third tour of duty with the marines in Iraq and was the marine featured in "The Battle for Fallujah" that appeared on Fox recently.

For those of you who saw the documentary, his son was the marine who held his dear friend, the dying marine, in his arms. I asked him to thank his son for me, and for all of us. I'm sure his father will relay the positive event that he attended. It was an honor to meet him.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for letting us know, At Bay. It was great to see you in Fresno again.

No one told me that story; thank you for relaying it to us.

I met one man who thanked us for supporting his son but I didn't really get a chance to talk to him except to ask him to thank his son for us. He was the man who was in Fresno on business and came out to support the caravan.

[JustAmy]

Did I see you in one of the pictures?

If so, I missed listing you as a FReeper in attendance.
