Protesters Don't Find Many Welcome Mats (in Crawford)
LAT ^ | Aug. 16, 2005 | Warren Vieth

Melissa Harrison thought she was just being neighborly when she let a group of antiwar activists hold a news conference on her property. Then her father, who lives just down the road, began calling her Hanoi Jane.

Harrison let the protesters have their news conference on her circle drive a week ago because she thought they should have an opportunity to present their views.

But by Tuesday, she said, she, too, was ready for them to leave. Her parents, Pete and Linda Martinka, had already fled their adjacent Lazy Czech Ranch and planned to spend several days on the road to get away from the Camp Casey scene. Harrison's husband, Vernon, an Army sergeant known to his friends as Dusty, said he would be glad to see the camp residents go.

"Property rights is what I'm having a big problem with," he said. "I've got these guys up here beating and banging on drums and guitars and making noise all hours of the night. There's nothing I can do."

Ben Cohen founder of that leftist group TrueMajority.

The more money they spend on this bimbo the less money they'll have to mess with our elections. I'd like to see them spend a few millions on this loser issue.
The only reason the press is cooperating so well is because it's August. This is a slow month for news. Cindy Sheenan is a has been. The left just hasn't figured it out yet. Hell, they're still in Vietnam!!

If I owned the property next to Camp Leftist, I'd be up every morning at 6am shooting off my guns.

Especially my muzzleloader.

I'd put huge speakers out in my front lawn and play Blue Grass music from the time I get up until the time I went to bed. Loudly. I'd have to wear ear plugs myself, but it would be worth the sacrifice. I'd do it for my country.

I imagine Cindi is pretty ripe by now!

Ripe for the plucking? Good luck finding a plucker.

Play some Toby Keith, assemble a potato-gun & fire off a few rounds of very-pissed-off fire ants in their direction, maybe let loose a small herd of skunks in their direction. All in the middle of the night...

I really, really, really loathe hippies...

Hmmm. It appears the guy who loaned his land to the squatters has never been married. He could be just the right kind of pumpkin head to get 'er done!

Here in NY, especially in the Village, these loonie protestors put up signs everywhere. Last night, it's 1130 and I'm driving through Union Square and some nut is standing there with a "No love for Bush" sign. Does this person have a job? No real life? I dont get it. Spray painted on buildings: "Stop Bush". They are either really bored or really out of their minds. You either laugh at them or allow them to make you sick to your stomach.

I love hippies!

But, if you want to run them off! Get some bait shrimp and spread them out down wind and they will bail in a couple of days! Rotten shrimp down wind will make their stay down right odifferous!

This would do the job a lot better.

Audio sample.

It never ceases to amaze me when "hippie cars" park on our street to attend big parties with all kinds of Green Peace/Save the Whales type bumper stickers all over the back...and proceed to throw all kinds of trash on our lawn.

Then they'll protest the big ole mean conservatives who are destroying our planet. Projection I tell ya!

Laughter makes like good medicine. Laugh your butt off.
Smile, laugh, and love your enemies. It drives them frigging nuts!

Bet the protestors would notice say, shooting a shotgun in the air at random intervals....

How does one "would notice say"? Further, what's the point of your point with the shotgun. I have six, so does that make me more potent than a bunch of morons on my property when I call the police. If there are uninvited personnel on my property, they will be sleeping with Pb.

You should have seem what the Village was like back in '68! This is is nothing.

And yes, they have no real lives, are bored, and are completely out of what is left of their minds.
