"Camp Casey is just that, a camp. This is a fort. This is a war, "

http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=67528

Pro-Bush demonstrators, headquartered at a makeshift "Fort Qualls" in central Crawford, planned a midday rally, while Sheehan's supporters, settled at "Camp Casey" outside this town of 705 people, were expected to hold a noon peace vigil.

"Camp Casey is just that, a camp. This is a fort. This is a war, and we're going to win it," Bill Johnson, 63, told AFP, while sitting in the shade at Fort Qualls, which sits on his property.

Nearby, sweating in the searing Texas summer sun, was Brad Ward, who drove from Austin, Texas, to Crawford early Saturday and waved a sign with a peace symbol on it and the description "Footprint of the American Chicken."

"I'm here to support the president and the troops and honor the fallen hero, Specialist Casey Sheehan, since his mother is disgracing his memory," said Ward, an army veteran who never saw combat because "the Gulf War ended before I could get over there."


A young pro-Bush supporter watches during a pro-Bush rally outside the Crawford Community Center in Crawford, TX. Tensions mounted in President George W. Bush's hometown, as a small army of his supporters poured in to challenge demonstrators opposed to the war in Iraq.

6. I thought that from the first time I read about Fort Qualis.
I thought it strange that they felt they had to interject war imagery into their so-called support of Bush.

17. so now they need a FORT, to protect themselves against non-violent ...
... law-abiding, fellow Americans?

Either they're incredibly paranoid and delusional, or they have regressed to being kids throwing snowballs.


I wonder if these people realize that their "foe" is abiding by these principles ...

http://crawfordpeace.nfshost.com/protest

"NONVIOLENT PRINCIPLES

We ask that those using the Crawford Peace House as a base for their action of protest adhere to the following principles during their visit:

1) I will not harm anyone, but will be nonviolent in words and actions.
2) I will treat every person with respect.
3) I will not damage or deface property.
4) I will not carry any weapons.
5) I will not bring or use any alcohol or illegal substaces on the Crawford Peace House property."

20. Let's call them "Fort Forgers".
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 04:28 PM by applegrove


If anyone doesn't see the little asshole as all "white light" and wants some questions answered..one adult to another...then they must be attacked. That is a disease alright.

Fort Forgers (play on Valley Forge being George Washington's sorrow - & Bush wanted one too) ..(also forgers are people who make plans to lie...so let's call them "Fort Forgers") are a bunch of patsies. No different than the Bolshevik revolutionaries ..who followed some asshole into phony Utopia at the cost of everything.
