Pro-Troops Group Wants Sheehan?s Land
Associated Press | June 01, 2007

FORT WORTH, Texas - Days after Cindy Sheehan announced she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, a pro-troop organization said Friday it plans to buy her protest site outside President Bush's ranch.

But Sheehan doesn't want to sell to just anyone.

"It'll be a cold day in hell before she sells it to them," her sister, Dede Miller, told The Associated Press. "She'll sell it to them for $5 million."

Move America Forward wants to place a monument to the troops on the 5-acre site in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth.

1. Damn I was afraid of that

That group is especially obnoxious.

[tandot]

2. Sheehan was pro-troop...don't you just love those headlines portraying her as "anti-troop"?

She wanted the troops to come alive. Move America Forward doesn't support the troops.

Liberal media my ass.

[sellitman]

3. Pro Troops Groups?

You mean the folks who want our kids to die there for the next 50 years?

:grr: :grr: :grr:

4. Pro-troop?

What a devious name for warmongers. That whirring sound you hear is Orwell spinning in his grave.

[frogcycle]

5. yeah like "pro-life"

another phony euphemism for anti-abortion

these people should be called "anti-peace" or something

[TX-RAT]

6. Question.

If a legitimate offer is made of a 1/2 million dollars or 1 million dollars. Would it then be appraised by the county as having a taxable value of that amount?

[Buzz Clik]

7. What sort of monument?

A poorly armored Humvee blown to pieces by an IED?
Bullet-riddled body armor without the proper ceramic plates?
Pentagon-financed Iraqi newspaper stories of the glorious progress?
A skyrocketing bill for the war?

Monument, my ass.

[tabasco]

8. They're not pro-troops, they're pro-war.

Big difference.

[Endangered Specie]

9. I got an idea, how about we sell this group some land...

IN IRAQ!

[jamesinca]

10. They are not pro troop

They are pro war!!!

This is the same crap as calling someone pro life, but they support the death penalty. They are anti choice in that matter. If they have to be called pro something, call them what they are, pro war.

[uberllama42]

11. There's no such thing as pro-troops

That's just pro-war, which, if anything, is even more anti-troops than the average American who doesn't give a fuck.

[uppityperson]

12. There is already a monument by pro-troop people there.

Bunch of crosses, names, etc. Even those that were torn down by anti-troopers like these ones who want to buy it.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

13. Pro...Troop? *shoots self

I can't even begin to understand what "pro-troop" is supposed to mean. It sickens me.

These people don't concern themselves with language any more. Words have lost all meaning. They've taken to placing pre-screened buzz words into a damn sack and pulling them out at random, placing them in front of things.

[SKKY]

14. If by "pro-troop" they mean use American military might at every possible opportunity...

...then yep, these guys are pro-troop.

[David__77]

15. "Pro-troop"/"anti-troop" a STUPID demarcation.

If they were concerned with soldiers' pay or living conditions, then perhaps this comes into play, but that's not the case.

They are pro-fascism, pro-occupation, pro-murder, pro-aggression.

[SemperEadem]

16. She should make that $1billion with a B dollars

There are enough thug assholes who can raise $5mil in an afternoon.

Actually, she should sit on that land and allow the natural flora and fauna to enjoy a respite.

And I believe that everyone with a grasp of reason can say they are "pro-troops"--what that group is is "Pro War".

[Cha]

17. Bullshit on that "pro troop" shit.

Cindy wants them HOME ALIVE..ALIVE ALIVEO!

This group wants 'em to stay in Iraq until they come home in a box.

Bullshit on that framing.
