How many pro-war supporters are really showing up?

[RSchewe]

Numbers are all over the map. It sounds like the numbers of the pro-war demonstrators are being inflated to create the illusion of an equal showing on both sides.

There are a lot of mixed messages coming out of Crawford, Texas regarding the crowd estimates. I see the AP and Reuters claiming numbers from a thousand and above demonstrators on just the pro-war side, but the pictures don't appear to support that.

Camp Casey I and II sound like they have a few thousand people attending both combined according to people on the ground in blogs and The Brad Show.

There are all kinds of expected counts and estimates. Does anyone know how many people really are there?

Has anyone seen some pictures, video, or accurate reports on this?

1. I have an idea!

With all the pro-war supporters we should start new program called "Replace A Soldier in Iraq" This would be a great program that would allow soldiers fighting in Iraq to be replaced by a pro-war, pro-Bush, neo-con supporter. They could do one month, two months, or even sign up to finish a soldiers complete tour. The program would allow anyone, any age, any sex to be eligible. So come on all you pro-bush folks, sign up today and maybe we can get this idea off the ground and you in Iraq.

3. Yeah I thought that recruiters would be there what gives?

Sides can you pictures the bush twins scared and alone and sweatting together in the desert fox hole at night?

4. I like it!! Although you know what their answer will be...

"I'm fighting the "culture war" here at home"

6. "culture war"

What do repugs know about culture? They think horticulture is taking hookers to the opera. Sorry old joke.

11. Or, it isn't about yogurt, really.

Another old joke.

2. Freepers could have 10,000 or 20,000

And it would be a suck-ass number!
Within a 150 mile radius of Crawford must be 10's of MILLIONS of people... the majority who voted for Bushwa.

3,000 to 4,000 people is a flop! no matter how you look at it.

5. There you go tibbit look it at that way.

The whole state and neighboring states should have showed up for the crawford coward.

7. This is my guess based on a bunch of different reports

Crawford pro-war rally = I have heard from 1000's to 3000
It was in a high school football stadium. Most went home afterwards.

At Fort Qualls next to the Yellow Rose. I can't say for sure. I haven't seen any pic of anyone near that store except to have a photo taken.

Freeeper Camp Reality with JimRob has about 100 at most.

Camp Casey 1 has the Iraq war vets for peace. About 100 there.

At Camp Casey 2 I have heard estimates ranging from 2000-3000.

Again, no fimr numbers.

And pro-war 40 moms supposedly on their way to take their sons names off of crosses.

8. what is a pro-war protest anyway?

I mean, they have their war, so what are they protesting?
I'm just sayin'
