National Review: Pics of Camp Casey counter protest
"Across the street from “Camp Casey” is “Camp Qualls” a pro-Bush campsite set up by supporters of American efforts in Iraq. Granted, the site is much smaller than the anti-Bush crowd...."

(Caught it via C&L. Looks like we've got our work cut out for us, guys.)

3. They let a brown man in there?
A Palestinian man traveled to and back from Dallas today to supply “Camp Qualls” with a power generator.

It's her dad.

12. I might make light of the fact that that young lady
made such huge commitment of her time and effort to travel all the way from her home in Crawford to guard the pro-Bush campsite. I also might make light of the fact that they believe that campsite needed guarding in the first place. But beyond that, there simply isn't enough there to make light of. I support the troops and I hope her father, an Army Chaplain, is able to help the soilders in that hellhole called Iraq. I also might point out that she is first and foremost a pro-Bush* supporter and the irony escapes her that her father is in Iraq because of Bush*s policy and folly. Beyond that, there isn't much to make light of. - It's pretty sad, actually. :shrug:

5. Now that is funny stuff...
I especially like the unmanned table under the "We support the pResident" tent. It looks like the morning after at camp Crystal Lake after the Jason has done his thing and the police have hauled away the bodies....silent, still and CREEPY! :rofl:

"Granted, the site is much smaller than the anti-Bush crowd, but it’s growing each day."

15. Ft. Qualls is located in downtown Crawford right next to the Yellow Rose
store. It appears to be headquarters central for Bush supporters. Come armed with enlistment forms. Think and be peace at all times. We will not get involved in any confrontations with them. Please help to spread this message far and very wide. We will not confront them.

It is so important for all to hear. Let not one button be pushed.

17. Dear Binka, I think about you and your family constantly.
Quite honestly, if it were not for you I probably would have just signed out by now. How can I when I have people like you that need to have their voices be heard. Love you lots. Is there anything we can possibly do to keep Ben at home and safe?

It's making me crazy, I have a daughter that is 17 and I'm certain with the way things are going, she will be there. I won't stand for it.

I'm sorry, I love you and I just don't know what else to say. I'll help you in any way I can.

Peace
anarchy1999

21. Binka, I'd wrap him up in chains and send him to friends and I'd never
let him go. I don't know what you are facing and I speak a big game, but if it were my daughter I'd have to put her in chains to stop her. I can not even begin to imagine the pain your family is in. Let us know how we can help you, in any way.

Peace,
sherry

I'm so sorry.

23. Lots of love of thoughts of peace coming your way.
I'm so sorry. You make me cry and I do wish I could do more.

Love you and all yours.

18. How about that Palestinian man?
Is that piece of info for real, or is it a right-out lie?

It sure sounds like some carefully placed propaganda detail to increase the cred of the counter-camp. And of course the Iraqi war.

19. Side ad may as well say: Catholic? Love money? Hate Gays? Then
boy do we have the investment fund for you!

Oh yeah! No more women in short pants either! We DO NOT support choice, and companies that support choice are carefully excluded from our rigorous process.

F.A.Q.

Q. Is this fund mindful of womens rights, children's rights or fair trade?
A. Can you read you silly little pantywaist? This is about money and gays and abortion. Let Jesus worry about the poor and the whores.

22. "the protesters [sic] protesters were making fun of my picture
Actually, they were more likely making fun of the picture to the right of your little portable awning there where you spelled "providense" so eloquently.
