LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.

Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!

Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.

They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.

The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.

Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.

To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!

That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

I believe the other group are white racist anti-semites .. against the "neo-cons" in this administration allegedly supporting Israel .. their estimate of the reason for the Iraq war. There was a thread about them last night.

This is good news...Cindy is already having to defend herself to the MSM about the neo-Nazi or white supremacist crowd that's coming to Crawford. This should be good (courtesy of lgf):

Most of the "REAL" men are in Iraq, along with my brother. He's on his second tour in Iraq. He was in the Gulf war too. He's a Marine reservist as well as our towns Chief of Police. He sure doesn't need this sh*t from the looney left.

The one we need to bombard with emails galore is Brit Hume!FOX needs to know who their supporters are! I'm sorry, but their lame coverage SPEAKS volumes. When MUTHER cindy camped out in Crawford, it was live feed! They didn't have to go to the cutting room and edit s***! Fox is walking on a fine line with me right now and I feel they betrayed the Troops and their VERY loyal viewers! Our fighting soldiers deserve better! NOT cindy 24/7! Cspan is another treasonous channel! Always there to cover anything the RATS rally to, but GOD FORBID if they should spend any precious minutes covering our side!

Really? I hope so! I've had enough of Fox News. (By the way I sent back my mug about three years ago(?), when they hired Geraldo. Greg Kelly (yummy and cute, but I'm too old for that kind of thing!), always seems to be auditioning for another channel. I used to watch about ten hours a day of Fox now I'm down to about 40 minutes worth of John Gibson. HaH!

They did not say anything about deaths or injuries. It could have been a freight train. In any case the Russians are very leery of reporting too many facts about this tragedies

Freeper TV may be closer than you think.

"Tuesday"

I don't know what that means, but whenever FR TV is mentioned it's followed by "Tuesday" ...

I'm with you, i don't have a life either.

I hope so. This is getting ridiculous. Every MSM site I went to, print or TV, just hypes the C. S. crowd and downplays the pro-troops side. All of them are replaying the warmed over AP story, with no coverage at all about what is really happening in Crawford.
