The blip on FNC had Greg Kelly calling it a Pro-War rally, with the emphasis as indicated. They showed all ditch-witch and one lowly pro-war protester that was arrested for not going back to a specific area. SO.............I thought no one was there for our side and immediately turned it off.
All those that think FNC are our friends, need to open your eyes.
They are our friends, but only to the extent that they're the only ones who will give us BOTH sides of the story. Those who think they're a conservative news channel aren't really paying attention.

PIRATE FIELD, Crawford, Texas — Yellow ribbons are tied around trees, telephone poles, and tent poles throughout this area. Several individual initiatives are taking place at various sites throughout the Crawford area. American flags are everywhere.
Singing is going on as I stand by a van that says FreeRepublic.com. A lot of people are leading dogs around. A huge American flag is hanging from a type of crane and it has pictures and little signs all over it. It is about 75 feet tall.
Many red, white, and blue balloons and banners are around.
A FreeRepublic member commented that the gathering is about protecting the troops in Iraq. Some of the activities of anti-war protestors directly endanger our troops, he said.
Media is out in full force at this site.
It was noted that Camp Qualls is not part of this rally, which is sponsored by MoveAmericaForward and FreeRepublic.
The California caravan has not yet arrived, but the number individuals here is currently estimated at over 500, and people are constantly streaming in.
Thus-far, traffic congestion is not a big problem.
The weather is unbelievably hot. With the high humidity, standing in the sun is nearly unbearable.
About 200 people were at Camp Qualls prior to my moving to Pirate Field. They had been there for a dedication ceremony, according to attendees.
The rally was initially planned for 1 p.m., but with a delay in the California caravan arriving it might be slightly delayed. Musical entertainment is being held on the stage.
I am really disappointed in FoxNews. When do bother to show Crawford, they show Cindy Sheehan more than our side. Well, as long as I have FreeRepublic, I can do without FoxNews.
