This became obvious when a Secret Service agent approached the car and asked what we wanted. We were too close to President Bush's ranch.
According to radio station KLIF-AM (570), we were to park at Bubba's house (no joke) and meet with other Bush supporters to counter Cindy Sheehan's cooperation with increasingly distasteful anti-war groups. I was with six Protest Warriors, a conservative group that "protests the protesters."
When we explained this to the Secret Service agent, she became amicable smiled even and was extremely helpful. This was emblematic of every law-enforcement officer we encountered.
We passed through a carnival of anti-war tents and tables, protesters strutting fearlessly in front of us, before we could find parking and I could start doing what I'd set out to do: talk to people.
I asked a supporter of Cindy Sheehan whether I could talk to him. He refused unless I could show him a press pass.

In fact, no Sheehan supporter would give his or her name, let alone talk. I had arrived with the Protest Warriors, but I carried no sign and wasn't acting obnoxiously conservative, unless an unmarked shirt and jeans scream conservatism. I had wanted to hear both sides. Instead, I was faced with considerable hostility.
Finally, a girl started talking to me and she made a lot of sense. "Everybody has a right to be here," she said.
But before she could go any further, a man whispered to her: "They're Freepers. You don't need to be talking to them." A "Freeper" is a member of the online conservative news site FreeRepublic.com.
Then I met Gary Qualls, whose son was killed in the battle for Fallujah. He wore his son's boot tags and handed out information regarding his death. He received little media attention and was visibly upset when relating his son's story.

Ms. Sheehan and her supporters are asking the media and the country to probe Mr. Bush with challenging and adversarial questions. But how can they expect Mr. Bush to answer, when they will not?
That would be, "Y'all FReep."
"That would be, "Y'all FReep."
It's simple, actually... I've seen the ones the left-wing wear -- as "free-lance press". You can make this one up as you like, formal-style. I've suggested in past Freepers make up one. Single-hole punch, put a cord or chain through it. Wear it around your neck, or you can wear a "pin to the shirt" type.
I like your humor. Exposure to FReeper fun is a very nice bonus in being part of this conservative news forum. Keep it up with your computer thingy....

It says "Dennis Kucinich, Zuma Press."
To All the FReepers who wish they could have been in Crawford
to support President Bush and the Troops.
You do not have to be in Texas to show support for the Troops.
Visit your local military base today and at least once a week.
Or a military or veteran hospital.
Learn to play offense, not defense,
and quit giving free publicity to those who mock our troops.
Spineless US Senate would rather protect Hanoi Kerry
than deal with the anti war crowd.
Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.
It's time to support our troops and ignore the jelly fish in the US Senate!
There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate
He is there illegally!
WAKEUP AMERICA!
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen
Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.
(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

Bush is leading America into a WW3 that America will not win.. the interesting thing is that Germany this time will help to defeat the NEOCON LIZARD agenda.. of the NAZI BUSH regieme. Cindy Sheehan should be given a medal as well as CHavez in Venezuela..
.. the reptiles like BUSH SR AND JR... and CHENEY have a totally different agenda to humanity.. i suppose U JIM are in denial-death and do not know anything about this.. so be it..
ah ho CHOLLA
Preserved for the ages.
Dang. Are you fast.
Riff-raff who manage to pay for FreeRepublic.com with OUR OWN MONEY so we don't have to take marching orders from a$$hole$ like George $oreA$$.
Cholla, we won WWIII, when your buddies the USSR, disappeared from the world. We are now in the Final Crusade, and Jihadists like you will be history like the USSR is history.
Well if W doesn't have a press pass, they won't really talk to him, will they.
Go Bobcats! Class of '79.
We need press passes:')
WOW, great, great catch! You have made my week, can't stop laughing-- no, roaring with laughter!
Note that it actually says "Dennis J. Kucinich," no doubt to avoid confusion with all the other Dennis Kuciniches, or with Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Or something like that. ;-)
Talk, no. Scream? More than likely.
Thanks, TR. Over the years, I've seen some mighty fascinating "PRESS" passes. IndyMedia, has its own "passes" too.
