The Latest From Crawford

Pro-America protesters are descending on Crawford, Texas to counter Cindy ("America is not worth dying for") Sheehan, Michael (the terrorists are "Iraq's Minutemen") Moore, Al Sharpton, and other far-left publicity hounds.

The Associated Press has an account (via Power Line News) that mentions the Protest Warriors, whose encounter with the pro-America group was tense, for a moment, until the pro-Americans realized that the Protest Warriors were on their side. We talked to one of the Protest Warriors on our radio show this afternoon, live from the Minnesota State Fair. He was calling from Crawford, and related the same story that is repeated by the AP.

Documentary filmmaker Andrew Marcus of Chicago is in Crawford to cover the action; his site Lights Camera Protest has some good photos. Andrew notes the lavish funding that supports Sheehan's publicity stunt: "Michael Moore and Ben from Ben and Jerry’s can sure afford a pretty big tent!"

Gene Allen, who has been in Crawford a number of times over the past few months, adds:

I got a call from Kelly in Crawford. 3000 people met Not In My Name tour in Wal-Mart parking in Waco for a rally this AM and caravaned to Crawford for large rally downtown. One mom reached her son via phone in Iraq and crowd went nuts.

I'd be curious to know what the soldier in Iraq thinks of Michael Moore, Al Sharpton, Ben and Jerry and Cindy (America is "morally repugnant") Sheehan. We'll keep you updated as we get more information.

Woohoo! This is terrific, Julie. Thanks sooo much for the update.

Hi there, Cindy, hehe.

I was over at Protest warriors website and there seem to be more DUmmys on their forum than Warriors.

They are a clever group but they just dont seem to have the numbers necessary to be effective.

Their low numbers and infiltration tactics( and God Bless it! I'll say it.."conservatives are fed up") resulted in the situation we had today. Freepers went on Red Alert.

The bottomline is it was an unfortunate misunderstanding and no one was hurt.

"One mom reached her son via phone in Iraq and crowd went nuts."
