More than 250 supporters of President Bush gathered for a few hours in a ditch across the street from the war protesters, who have camped out along the road to Bush's ranch since Aug. 6. Most waved American flags and held signs, including one that read, "Help! I'm surrounded by America hating idiots!"The pro-Bush rally was organized by Darrell Ankarlo, a conservative radio talk show host for KLIF in Dallas. He also asked to meet with Cindy Sheehan, who started the anti-war vigil, but she only agreed to meet privately with Bush supporters whose relatives have died in Iraq. That meeting was set for Saturday evening.

good.
Well will you look at that! Thank you ALL!!!
"she only agreed to meet privately with Bush supporters whose relatives have died in Iraq"
I guess so she can convert them to her side.
So...there were 250 at the KLIF gathering and another 150 at ours? GREAT, that's 400 altogether!
FANTASTIC! Thanks to everyone who supported the FReep in Crawford. Great looking group of well-behaved, smart people. Each one of you really makes me feel proud.
