CRAWFORD, Texas — Pent-up fervor fueling both sides of the national debate over President Bush's Iraq policies erupted Saturday near his vacation home, with thousands of protesters venting frustrations and using parents of fallen soldiers as icons of their dueling movements. Both the president's supporters and critics endured 100degree temperatures to rally in separate locations miles apart, and several hundred engaged in an emotional standoff at the fork in a road on the fringe of the Bush property — singing, chanting and yelling epithets.

Darryl Ankarlo of Ankarlo Mornings Klif 570 in the DFW area of Texas has a spy at Camp Casey. He's pretending to be one of them although he says it is a very hard thing to do.Darryl had him on the radio this morning describing some of the things he's seen and heard while there. You can hear the podcast here. http://www.klif.com/podcast.asp It was the 4th one down on the list the last time I looked. He is talking to "Michael". It's something everyone needs to hear as some at Camp Casey are telling him their real agenda. And, it's...

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan, whose vigil near President George W. Bush's Texas ranch has become a symbol for the anti-war movement, said on Friday she plans to focus on Congress, starting with House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Bush ally and fellow Texan. Sheehan has been demanding a meeting with Bush to discuss the U.S. presence in Iraq, where her son was killed in 2004. She plans to begin a bus tour next Thursday from Bush's ranch to the White House to campaign for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. One of DeLay's Texas...

The latest entrants in the saga of Cindy Sheehan vs. President Bush are white supremacists, as they plan to rally against the Iraq War this weekend in Crawford, Texas. Members of Stormfront.org are tossing their figurative hoods into the mix, as they invite supporters to come to Camp Casey to "let the world know that white patriots were first and loudest to protest this war for Israel." Anti-war activists, including one from CodePink, suggest 'Bush stinks' near the president's property in Crawford, Texas (photo: Fausto Fernos) "We don't want leftist Johnny-come-latelys who are misleadingly protesting this war – as if...

<p>It is truly sad how Cindy Sheehan has dishonored her son in so many ways. She has called the men who killed him, "freedom fighters." She has even tried to hint that he died from "friendly fire."</p> <p>And perhaps worst of all, Cindy appears to have blatantly misrepresented Casey's thinking about his service and the Iraq war. Casey's father, Patrick, is now on record of saying that his son was proud of his service in the Army.</p>

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring U.S. troops home immediately. "When I get up [to heaven], he's gonna say, 'Good job, mom,'" Mrs. Sheehan said in a speech last night upon her return to Crawford, Texas. "He's not going to say, 'Why'd you make me spin in my grave?' you know. And I can just hear him saying, 'George Bush, you are really an idiot. You didn't know what you were...
