5. The pro-war rally in Crawford had 1000's but they have gone home
Some are headed to Camp Casey to demand that crosses be removed. Bradblog is covering it.

The rest have no shuttles or parking....

8. That's a flop?
Or is the Crawford rally different than the Fort Nuts-R-Us rally?

Confused.

14. Yes, the Crawford Rally is downtown
The freeper embarassment is across the road from Camp Casey 1.

25. So there's gonna be a cross boss? Figures.
If someone doesn't want their loved one's cross there, just paint over it.

The number of dead will always be the number of dead.

9. listening to brad show/iconoclast reports there were ~4000 for cindy
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 03:48 PM by faithnotgreed
in support of her
deborah matthews of the iconoclast said she had never seen so many people in one place

and i dont know the total for pro bush/war crowd but sounded like maybe hundreds but i dont know that figure
but certainly appears to be far fewer than those in support of peace and cindy

on edit: brad show/iconoclast so far is not being clear in their distinction but the above number is what i took from what i could figure out

other reports say about 2000-3000 people for cindy/peace

17. The pro-Cindy people are at the rally at Camp Casey 2
Pro-Bush rally in Crawford = aprox. 1000+
Freeper action at Camp Reality (across from Camp Casey 1) = 100

Camp Casey 1 = 100

Camp Casey 2 = 2000+

Best estimates from available reports

2. CNN had some video, there was NOT 4000 people...
maybe 400 if you counted all the crickets and the flies too.

7. It seemed like all the Iconoclast reports were from the pro war
(pro death?) rally. Nothing said about Sheehan's gp.

12. 4000? - Once again, the freeps use Porta-Potties to estimate
10 times the crap does not mean ten times the people.

20. It depends what time cnn's footage is from
they tend to get one shot that they run over and over even if the situation changes.


I never know what to think!

16. WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?
I keep hearing conflicting numbers from people, but I can find NO PICTURES of the Pro-war @ssh@les......... Did the caravan ever find it's way? How many in the "caravan"? vehicles and/or people.

So many rumours, so few facts. I'm getting very frustrated trying to "see for myself".

that over 3,000 pro-Bush supporters were on their way to Crawford.
