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.

Thousands of Bush supporters gather in Crawford, Texas to rally against the anti-war protest led by Cindy Sheehan.

More than 3,000 people have gathered at the Crawford, Texas school football stadium to speak out against Cindy Sheehan.


"I know that the Camp Casey movement is going to end the war in Iraq," Sheehan said, leading the crowd in chanting "Not one more!"

Her opponents chanted "Cindy go home!" at their rally.

Better watch it. My hubby posted under my name after the last rally and I had to deal with the critics later. Of course, he failed to note that it was he and not I posting.

It sounds like they betrayed us... (from what I have been reading) There were at least 10 video camera crews there, I had assumed one of them was Fox (the crews do not really "identify" themselves (logos on cameras or anything) unless ya see their press credentials which usually has a badge of some sort.

I haven't been able to see any of your pictures...I even tried going directly to the site for one and got "page cannot be found".

Did you exceed your bandwidth limit?

You got that right, they had no idea people would respond the way they did.Their signs were so explosive that the first few words was enough to set off this crowd today. not the place or time.

Boy I don't like the press calling us PROWAR. I am not Pro war. I am anti-terrorism.

Me either. That is a leftist name calling phrase and the media just goes right along with it.

Our boys and girls ought to wake the hippy's up every morning with the LOUDEST reveille recording they can find.

LOL! I would love to hear that revellie... Yesterday I went to Ft. Worth and visited a friend who's son is a Marine home from the war. He claimed 39 kills in Iraq, two in Afghanistan. Mostly, he was moving fuel and lots of it.

These did nothing of the sort, not today. These were political sigs befitting of an election, not the emotional rally of today.

Dude, I'm not BLIND. The sign in the pics posted earlier is this one:

Are you seriously taking the position that this sign is "election" oriented and NOT aimed at mocking anti-war hypocrites like Sheehan?
