PRO-TROOPS /PRO-BUSH RALLY IN CRAWFORD THIS SATURDAY AT NOON (8/13/05)
Wednesday, August 10, 2005 | Kristinn


Posted on 08/10/2005 2:55:28 PM PDT by kristinn


A pro-troops/pro-Bush rally will be held this Saturday in Crawford, Texas by Killeen radio station KLFX 107.3 FM and sister station KWTX 1230 AM.

The rally will begin at noon and will be held at a parking lot next to the Crawford Bank. Free hamburgers and sodas will be given away until supplies are exhausted.

A spokesman for KLFX said that those who are calling this an anti-Cindy Sheehan rally are wrong. The station wanted to have an event to offer a means for the public to show their support for the troops serving at nearby Fort Hood and their commander-in-chief in contrast to the antiwar/anti-Bush protesters descending on Crawford this week.

The station says the free cookout is meant to tweak the leftist 'hunger-strikers' in Crawford, not make fun of Cindy Sheehan.

14. THe one that was cancelled was sponsored by a local station
This is a new one apparently being organized by our old friend Kristinn, the "head of the DC chapter of FreeRepublic".. Let them come. All they will do is make themselves look like assholes. As long as the people on our side of the street keep their cool, all the freeps can do is embarass themselves...

3. Why can't these assholes understand that Cindy's protest is NOT
anti-troops, but rather it's anti-Bush.

LOVE THE TROOPS, HATE THE WAR.

What a bunch of fucking morans.

Pardon my language, but this really pisses me off.

4. Cheap fatty hamburgers and sugar-heavy sodas.
Sounds just about right for bushies. No wonder they can't think.

12. Didn't Crawford Bank have a problem with this?
They didn't want it close to the building or didn't want to be mentioned in relation to the rally. Something like that. I can't remember, but maybe somebody else does?

15. Supporting AWOL Bush means the freeptards are ANTI-TROOPS
to support sending our military troops to war based on a lie AWOL Bush made up, is BETRAYING our armed services. they are not being used as was intended when the miltary was founded. instead, they are being used based on any whim AWoL Bush comes up with!!!

22. OK, so go pick up a free hamburger and soda and come on back
to Camp Casey! It's a free country. They have a right to protest or demonstrate. Just which demonstration do you think really supports the troops. i hope they hand out some enlistment forms while they are at it.

23. Thats a great idea. Passing out enlistment forms
of course they are all too busy fighting the "Battle of ideas" to go fight in a war they are applauding.
