My first opinion post about Cindy and the freaks who are coming

[toey]

Move America Forward is heading to Crawford. They are so adamant that they are not "pro-war" and that they are just supporting the troops.

I say everyone at Camp Casey should join their rally. The cliche "kill them with kindness" comes to mind. If everyone at Camp Casey joins them in their "Support the Troops" rally Saturday, it will be like they're going to Crawford to support Cindy, et al.

Any thoughts?

1. You might be on to something there.

2. Did you read this part?

"Everyone arrives in Crawford, Texas for a giant “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission” Rally on Saturday, August 27, 2005."

5. I did not see that

I thought of this while watching Hardball last night and the Mark dude was so damned forceful about saying its a "Support the Troops" thing not a "pro war" thing.

12. Reply: What is "Their Mission"? Thank you. nt

3. My only thought is that if they support the war so much...

then they should be over there fighting it, every one of them. Not in Texas, protesting a protest. Obviously they have the time and resources to go on off to war, so they should go and do it.

Practice what you preach.

9. We should print something like this up

and hand them out to everyone saying they support the war: http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive/19_03/military_enlistment.pdf

6. It will be spun very differently by the media

and we'd never regain the momentum Cindy has created. In the support the troops bunch that is coming, support the troops = support the war, the two are one and the same.
I don't think the Casey Camp bunch should give the media the opportunity to twist it like they undoubtedly will.

7. Greet them with waving flags, Old Glory

It is our flag, too, and this is a Grand Old Time to take it back from the corporate Republican propaganda machine that wants to pretend they own it. the hell they do.

8. Print up some enlistment papers

and hand them out, since they support the mission so much.
Ask them "why isn't your son or daughter over there fighting if it's such a just cause to you?"

10. Two signs:

"We Support the Troops" in blue

"They Support the War" in red


Clear and simple.

They play games with words, usually tagging themselves with the exact opposite of the truth. That's how they deal with reality. So spell it out for them.

11. Very good.

I like this one, simple, direct, easy to understand. Perfect. Thank you.
