GREAT shots, but I have a question... We were seated close to the back so I couldn't figure out what happened. Since you posted a couple of close ups, I hope you can answer about what actually happened.

I saw a sign - large print - something like "Bush is a terrorist" and people began boooing. I then saw the Protest Warrior along the bottom and I began yelling, "NO! THAT'S PROTEST WARRIOR!" along with a lot of others.

I saw there was a rumble of sorts, and the sign vanished. Is that the guy that everyone up front was after? Was his sign taken away and thrown to the ground or was it some other person who was actually a leftist?

Thanks for any insight you can give me!

It was EXTREMELY chaotic. I actually was seated to your right over under the trees. When people started booing, I made my way into the "crowd" and they already were ripping the sign to pieces. From the shots afterwords, it def. was a protest warrior shot, but at the time the people on the stage had said it was the other side, so I had assumed that was the case. I wonder if maybe there WAS a rat hanging around there, and lifted his sign, and the PW sign was just "collateral damage"? The situation certainly was QUITE fluid, and I was having the time of my life being in the thick of things. I love the PWs, and love their mission, but can definitely see how many of the people (who have NEVER heard of them) could have jumped all over one for a sign they had. Remember, MOST of the people there were not Freepers, and more than likely had never heard of the PWs. Hope this helps! I had quite a good time, and am still debating flying up to DC in September...

Well, I went over to scream at the media for covering what I thought were some anti-Americans from Camp Kookville. However, the young men assured me that they were good guys -- Protest Warriors from Wisconsin. I told them that they should have given some notice and been introduced properly and be allowed to demo how they infiltrate the enemy and they would have received a more welcome reception for their work.

They need to realize this is TEXAS...no anti-Bush, no anti-American, no anti-military...NOT in OUR BACKYARD!
