(LOL)"Thousands" at pro-W rally -- then they turn on themselves

[underpants]

I must have missed this on Fox News over the weekend. There was supposed to be a big pro-War (huh?) pro-W rally at the Crawford High School football stadium this weekend but I haven't seen any footage of the throngs who showed up.

Anyone? Anything?

Oh I found this "THOUSANDS"-see second link, nice headline of the same article on the first link huh?

Protesters swarm Crawford

Pro-Bush protesters rally and tussle in support of Iraq war

AP , CRAWFORD, TEXAS
Monday, Aug 29, 2005,Page 7

Several thousand people descended on US President George W. Bush's adopted hometown, attending a rally supporting him or arriving for the last leg of an anti-war demonstration near his ranch.

Several times the crowd of about 1,500 chanted, "Cindy, go home!"

"THOUSANDS" AP??? like the "thousands" of anti-war protestors BEFORE the war?

Organizers estimated the size of the crowd at more than 2,000, but it appeared smaller.

TOO DAMNED FUNNY

At the pro-Bush rally, there were some heated moments when two members of Protest Warrior, a group that frequently holds counter-protests to anti-war rallies, walked in with a sign reading "Say No to War -- Unless a Democrat is President."



Many Bush supporters only saw the top of the sign and believed the men were war protesters, so they began shouting and chasing the pair out. One man tore up their signs.

26. That was an amazing day in SF

more people protested that day around the world
than ever before . I'm somewhere in that picture
with a few other DUers

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Not ONE photograph from the event?

Everybody forgot their camera or something?

There isn't enough synchronicity in the collected works of Jung and Sting together for me to believe that one.

4. I knew something was up when I didn't see it on the hour

read by a blonde on Fox.

I started to think "I wonder how that could be? Everyone loves W...."

6. Ha ha ha ha, good one!

10. I found ONE!!!!

From the Crawford paper the Lonestar Iconclast (endorsed Kerry). I knew I should have looked there first.

14. I count 38 in that picture

Of the few pictures I've seen, this is the one with the bigest collection of people in it.

And I was being VERY loose with what I counted as a person. Basically, I counted ANYTHING that looked like it either was or belonged to a person.

Free Republic is a big web forum. And they can't turn out more than a hundred people or so?

--p!

17. I already read it -- it's inadvertant hoot!

I especially liked the part about "Liberal Taskmasters".

"Oh, yes, Master, yes, whip me more! I love the lash! Drive me like a Hebrew in the service of Pharaoh, Janeane!"

Freepers Say The Darnedest Things!

18. I loved the part about Nugent's wife

He didn't make it himself LOL so she went probably trying to make money to cover the paternity settlement against him last month (from the 80's during their marriage) and she got heckled by THEM!!!

How small of a crowd do you have to have to hear all the heckles?

[FormerDittoHead]

25. Half of those attending were press and photographers! n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

29. Oh yes

That's really thousands. :eyes:

[Jensen]

3. And then.... They eat their young!

:shrug:

[blondeatlast]

16. Well, they can't very well urge them to ENLIST, can they? nt

[Kashka-Kat]

5. LOL

Re: them attacking and tearing up the sign which said "say no to war unless democrat is president"

I ALWAYS suspected their reading and comprehension skills were lacking-- otherwise, how could they vote the way they do?

[Straight Shooter]

11. "Swarm" is the appropriate word when referring to hornets.

Hornets for bush. Please pronounce it as "whore-nets" :)

[xxqqqzme]

12. there's a high school

in a town w/ a population of 750? I didn't see a high school. I did see a baseball/football field next to Tonkawa Falls City Park but that is maintained by the city.


I love this
'..."You are giving hope and encouragement to the enemies of America," said former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, a Republican who co-founded Move America Forward, the group that coordinated the rally...'

hope and encouragement TO the ENEMIES of America? Well ,in a round-about way I suppose a pro-war rally would be encouraging to budding terrorists...either that or he was channeling the pretzeldent at that particular moment.

[satya]

13. $hrub IS the enemy of America--so I guess they'd better stop giving HIM

hope and encouragement.

[FreedomAngel82]

30. The world is surely

looking on and laughing.

[kweerwolf]

19. "Organizers estimated the size of the crowd at more than 2,000 ..."

I think they must have been counting collective IQ points (and even that is being charitable).

[Wizard777]

20. That seems to be press edicts.

My local Paper ran a headline that said, "Thousands Protest War." The next days headline read "Millions Protest War." I guess you have to have dual headlines for a two faced President. Something tells me he's not going to be waving a poll in the countries face. Unless Gallop is conducting a poll of 1,000 Halliburton executives.

[UrbScotty]

21. Anyone remember this pic?

[underpants]

32. psst....hey Bob, wanna start "the wave"?

Oldie but a goodie

[Contrary1]

22. What is with these people?

"...Deena Burnett, whose husband, Tom, was on the fourth plane hijacked Sept. 11, 2001, said he and the other passengers fought the terrorists before their plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

"Now it's up to us to continue what he started," Burnett said Saturday to cheers from those at the pro-Bush rally."

"Continue what he started" :wtf:

How many Iraqi people were among the hijackers? They are so blinded by their loyalty to Bush, they can't even see the stupidity of that reasoning.

[AtomicKitten]

23. mad dogs

Rabid Republicans turning on themselves. How appropriate.

[sepia_steel]

24. Hahahahaha

"We're not for war. I don't think anybody is ... but we've got to complete the mission," John Wroblewski said.

BIGGEST denial statement of the CENTURY...

[Kashka-Kat]

27. WHAT IS THE MISSION??????????????

that was the whole point of cindy's presence, there is no mission.

god -- around and around we go.

There's not even much of a feeble excuse for a mission, let alone a valid and worthwhile one.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. So if you're not for war

then why stay there and kill people??

[Done]

28. Okay, so they are violent and stupid.

What else is new

[txaslftist]

33. I guess the "protest warriors" overestimated the intelligence ...

...of their audience. Always a risk with irony, even the not too subtle kind.

And given that their audience were all Bush's brownshirts, it shouldn't have surprised them.

[PA Democrat]

34. Wouldn't you think those Protest Warriors would question themselves why

they want to ally themselves with such a bunch of idiots?

[yellowcanine]

35. Satire is lost on W supporters. Like their fearless leader, if it ain't

black or white, they are agin it.
