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.

Market forces, baby.

CNN is making a play for conservative viewers. Remember folks, the problem is with the FOX news producers. They decide what goes on. The news producers must feel that the story is not big enough (but it is).

They keep moving the goal posts. First it was a 'grieving mother', then it was anti-war, then back to grieving mother but no compassion for other grieving mothers who don't agree with her; now it's a mix depending on who they're talking to. If you're pro-war, she's a grieving mother and you have no right to criticize her; if you're a grieving mother who doesn't agree with her she's anti-war. See how it works? That way you can't trap her (she thinks).

My idea, but I don't have deep pockets! Karl Rove perhaps?

Now they seem to be making this a mother's issue and only mother's can say anything

Sometimes, mother is half a word.

Soros must be slipping her some hallucinogens in those rolls of 100 dollar bills.

LOL. The media trying to turn 300o into 1500. Typical.

I wonder if they are aware that by now we always double AT LEAST their head counts.

"Freeper TV may be closer than you think."

Great news~~!!!!

The MSM will never be fair and report the opinions of normal Americans. I hope you're right about Freeper TV, becoming a reality, real soon.

The debates threads were a nightmare. So many trolls, so much traffic, couldn't swat them all and keep up and watch the debates and comment. Well, we could, but it took skill. LOL
