#3 Is the MSM covering it? Or is it only mother [f-ker] Cindy and her looney friends who matter?

#4 I've only seen a small glimpse and they called them "pro war" prostesters. ABC news I think it was.

MSM doesn't even try to hide it anymore.

Sherry - thanks for that link! I just got back from Crawford (was there two days) and it's exactly as Eric describes. I was at the main intersection and watched as NBC and all of the other news agencies drove past Fort Qualls, heading for Camp Casey II (there are actually 3 - the one next to "Freedom House" near the main intersection, the "ditch" across from Camp Reality and Camp Casey II with the huge expensive tent - meant to impress Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, no doubt).

By the way - that "Freedom House" has an interesting history....replete with Palestinian flags hanging in front. They wouldn't let us stop to take a picture, of course, and yesterday, when 4 soldiers walked to that camp to get answers to some of their questions, the "protesters" surrounded them in a rather menacing way. That whole area (around Freedom House) is creepy!

#6 You know, all week, my heart said "go"... and all week, my body, being in Texas, of a certain age and of a certain weight, just couldn't take it...

I woke this morning.... still wanting to go... knowing that my body and this Texas heat just don't agree......

But know, all day, my heart, my spirit was there with you... and thank you for being there! Our guys and gals over there.... know you were there, and that's what really counts.

#7 And http://www.powerlineblog.com/ is reporting from somewhere there...

"I got a call from Kelly in Crawford. 3000 people met Not In My Name tour in Wal-Mart parking in Waco for a rally this AM and caravaned to Crawford for large rally downtown.

One mom reached her son via phone in Iraq and crowd went nuts.
