Christian Wire Service touts Crawford counterprotest: "support our troops"

[Bluebear]

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug. 12 /Christian Wire Service/ -- In response to false information regarding the nation's attitude in regard to the war on terror, a vigil will be held at high-noon, Saturday, August 13, in Crawford, Texas.

The event will begin at 12 noon, and will be a quiet and peaceful showing of support for our troops, their families and our President.

"Support our Troops" Event Details---

When: Saturday, August 13, 12 noon

Where: The Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas

Who: TheConservativeVoice.com, Represented by Don Thompson

Why: "We are calling upon individuals to show our fighting forces we support them and their efforts. Now is the time to be supporting our troops and praying for them. Please take a minute to remember our men and women of the Armed Forces who fight for our freedoms."

"Our nation is under attack. I am thankful for the leadership we have in America. As a father of a small child my heart goes out to the grieving parents, spouses and children who have lost loved ones in war. Thank you. The sad reality of freedom is its cost. America won its freedom through war. To maintain freedom we must continue to suppress those who wish to destroy it. You don't chose to fight or go to war, however, you chose whether you win or lose. We have no choice but to win this war." -- Nathan Tabor, TheConservativeVoice.com

1. Some Christians...

:puke:

[Bob3]

2. One woman is making all of them piss in their pants

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. I hope they order enough port-o-potties

n/t

[ironman202]

4. freedom has a cost?!?!

but only the unwashed unchurched masses must pay.

[Gman]

5. What war?

We're an occupying force being attacked by freedom fighters. We're not at war. We're occupying a country.

[unhappycamper]

6. Not Bluebear, but

Fuck you !!!!!

[Cha]

48. Thank you! I think I'll add to that..

FUCK YOU!!!!! YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITES!!

[icymist]

7. They're doing this on the Bush ranch?

Do you have a link to this Bluebear?

[Bluebear]

10. oops sorry added link

[Coloradan4Truth]

14. Yeah, really...

at the Bush Ranch? How's that happening? Are they paying them to be there too... flying them in? Can anyone who supports Bush go, or do you need security clearance?

[Bluebear]

17. "Are they paying them to be there too... flying them in?"

An excellent question.

[Coloradan4Truth]

20. well I emailed...

[e-mail]

to see how I could attend, given that I too support the troops.

[Bluebear]

24. Bravo. DO let me know the outcome

[Coloradan4Truth]

51. I did get a reply...

and it sounds like by "the Bush Ranch" they just meant the road up to it. He says "just come" "no clearance needed".

[Plausible]

8. freepers are already showing up there

"Counter Protesters have arrived
From Annie Spell -

"We have counter protesters showing up a little at a time, carrying little American flags and attempting to agitate the peaceful protesters. We have 5 law enforcement vehicles including county, city, state & SS. The media is on site. People are still being shuttled back and forth to the CPH. Ward & Andrea are heading back to CPH because they are sick like Annie was yesterday.

At the top of the triangle where the counter protesters are getting out of the car, is the same location where the vets & military families are. It's almost as if they are deliberately picking that location to cause agitation.""

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Check out the location!

They actually think they will be allowed on the Bush ranch to hold this demonstration?? LOL

[Plausible]

16. Sounds more like they will be at or very near

Camp Casey.

These people make me sick.

[Doo_Revolution]

11. So the 30% who still support the war should wave their flags?

All for the goodness of oil, and the deaths of many more soldiers in the month to come?

It would be a joke if it wasn't true. Everyone now outnumbers the pro-war advocates almost 1000 to 1. This is a joke, the second or third Vietnam.

[arcane1]

12. "blesses are the warmongers"

or something :puke:

[Joanne98]

13. They don't speak for ALL Christians! How dare they!

[reBel_gyrl]

15. Why don't the right understand?

That we DO support the troops, we wish Bush would support them more, what with BILLIONS of dollars mysteriously missing from our military "pot" and that just because we do not agree with the president or his war does NOT mean we don't support out troops! GEEZ! People can be so, so..... ARGH! Frustrating!!!!
"We're not against the soldiers, we're against the war"!!!
And how the hell do they figure we "don't chose to fight or go to war, however, you chose whether you win or lose. We have no choice but to win this war"? We do choose to go to war, if we believe our pres. and we think it IS necessary, we CHOOSE to support or allow him taking us to war. And we don't choose to win or lose, what.. we chose to "tie" (at very best) in Vietnam? Gimme a break people.. like it's as simple as "I choose to win this war." Bull.

[leesa]

35. They just want to hate, there is no rationale to it.

[TomInTib]

18. Waaaaiiiittttt just a minute...

I seem to recall that Casey Sheehan was an altar boy and volunteered at his church. So it seems reasonable that the mom who raised this fine young man was probably a Christian too. In fact, she supports our troops so much that she wants them HOME!

Of course, Nate's kids are safely way underage...for now...didn't Rummy say that this could last 8 - 10 - 12 years...?

Unless Nate had his kids later in life, he is still eligible to sign up! Like you said, freedom has its cost Nate - plenty of troops have small kids at home - the ones that aren't kids themselves, that is.

[Bluebear]

21. The Sheehans aren't the right "type" of Christian for these folk

Many believe Catholics aren't Christian at all.

[TomInTib]

26. Guess that you're right...after all

they do walk their talk!

But isn't that great voice of the 13th century - Rick Sanctimonious - a good Catholic? And that John Roberts fella too? Maybe the tide is turning for the Catholics. Then again, Kerry is Catholic too - I guess you just can't trust 'em.

[dogday]

19. The guy that wrote the open letter to Cindy

Doug Edelman- He looks of age to be a soldier, why is he not going. When he said Casey knew what he was signing up for.

How many guard people sign up with the thought that they will be fighting full time? Not until this war...

And at the end he proposes to know what Casey would want his Mom to do. The bastard, the little ratass bastard....

[Doo_Revolution]

22. Chickenhawks who've never been in war....

Did they finally get off their duff, and head for here?

http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/

They don't have any rights to spit out the lies which have killed thousands.

[Disturbed]

25. War?

There are two Occupations in place. The phony Prez. of Amerika wants to be The War Prez. to give himself fake glory.

[girl gone mad]

23. How is this supporting the troops?

Attacking a grieving mother in Crawford is not the same thing as fighting in a war. Holding up a pro-troops/anti-Sheehan sign at a barbeque is not the same thing as defending your country and does nothing to support the defenders of your country.

Sign up or shut up.

I hope someone is there with plenty of enlistment forms for these morans.

[emdee]

27. Email them!

Email them at [e-mail] Here's what I sent.

I'd like to come to your rally. Will Cindy Sheehan be there? She supports the troops more than anyone I can think of. Her love for the troops is tremendous. Thank you for holding a rally for Ms. Sheehan to honor her committment to our troops.

[Bluebear]

29. bahahahaha

I think I love you.

[emdee]

32. LOL We'll meet at the rally, ok? n/t

n/t

[Coloradan4Truth]

30. and here is Nathan Tabor's email...

[e-mail] <[e-mail]>

I'm emailing, but being stealth, so that I can find out what's up with being able to get onto the "Ranch"

[Rebellious Republican]

38. Bwahahaha, I could not resist, I sent an email,

I see you are holding a support the troops rally in Crawford, Texas this saturday. Will you be holding this in conjuction with Cindy Seehan's rally.

I think it is great that the Conservative Voice has chosen to support this poor woman, given all she has been through. I would love to be in attendance, however I will be unable to, due to such short notice.

Your concern has moved me to send a generous donation to the Crawford Peace house to show my humble support, since I can not be there.

Wave a flag for me, after all I am Beirut Era Navy Veteran myself. While I have a ribbon rack two and a half deep, of all my ribbons and medals, the Navy Expeditionary Forces Medal (Beirut "83") is the most precious to me next to my "Navy Wings of Gold" Naval Aircrewman wings.
Thanks for your support, xxxxx xxxxxx, xxx xxxxxx, Fl.

[emdee]

43. I received a reply!

My original email:

> troops is tremendous. Thank you for holding a rally for Ms. Sheehan to
> honor her committment to our troops.

The response:
Yes, you are more than welcome to come and pray for our troops and our
President.

The vigil is in Crawford, TX or you can pause at high noon in TN.

Nathan

What I wrote back:
Thank you! Please tell Ms. Sheehan that I'm praying for her cause. She's such a brave woman. I fear they'll never address her Downing Street Memo questions. But, our troops deserve the truth and I respect her so much. Again, thank you for having a rally on Ms. Sheehan's behalf and standing beside her requesting the truth.

[emdee]

44. I meant to add

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
emdee

[Rebellious Republican]

50. Yes, I got a reply as well, here is what he said....

*******,

Thanks for praying for our troops and our President.

Nathan

Here was the reply I sent back....

I pray for everyone, especially for those that have been put in harms way. Having served in combat operations myself, I fully understand the pain and suffering caused by the ravages war. Life is a very precious gift from our lord and savior, thats why I pray for the safe return of all our troops without delay. I pray that our President, who is no stranger to the military himself having served in the Air National Gaurd in Texas, can find a way to end the hostilities that has caused so many deaths, maimed and wounded. God bless you for your support and prayers for Cindy Sheehan as well.

I wonder if they have figured it out or if they are just scratching their little fundie brains saying WTF.

:rofl:

[Cha]

49. Oooops!

Fuck the president(sic)!

[Imagevision]

28. Kidding? what more can Cindy do to support the troops??

I'd like to know what the troops think on the Cindy in Crawford story?

[jonnyblitz]

31. they are going to support Bush, not the troops.

it's the word game of making the words "troops" and "bush" interchangeable or the same. you know "support our troops and our president" type of thing.

[leesa]

33. Ah yes...the nasty Fundies fighting to have more kids killed for nothing

[Plausible]

34. Update from the site

"I just heard from both Annie and Buddy. The relationship with the local police continues to remain strong. However, they are allowing anti-protesters to show up and are allowing them to assemble on one flank of the triangle.

The police cars line the other flank.

All ProCindy/ ProPeace Protestors are asked to remain silent and simply hold your banners.

This is starting to get tense and we want to be sure not to do anything that could be seen as hostile.

The media of course has flocked to the anti-protestors.

When the 14 cop cars pulled up along side the ProCindy/ProPeace Demonstrators applauded.

Photos and updates will coming all night and posted at http://politicalswitchboard.com and http://upbeatdefiance.com/


Please Post and forward to protestors on the ground.

36. If there is a God I'll bet he's/she's in Cindy's camp on this one...

1. I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.
That includes Exxon, Carlyle Group, Halliburton, Federal Reserve Banks, Kenny Boy, Dick Cheney Or Rev. Moon...

2. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
That means to use that name, to deceive the masses, gain "political capital", or to start wars against countries that are no threat to this country, or to justify torture and mass murder.

3. REMEMBER THOU KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY.
Bush thinks we all should work on Saturdays and Sundays for straight time.

4. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER
That means mothers who have lost their children in wars started by liars.

5. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
That means on Texas's Death Row, Iraq, South America, Cuba, Dallas, Vietnam, Gitmo of anywhere else for that matter! Dead is dead!

6. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
That means Newt and the Republicans too!

7. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
The republican party should forget about the rapture! It ain't gonna' happen for thieves.

8. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR
The Devil Owns George Bush and KKKarl Rove's young asses on that one!

9. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE
Arnold and Newt are shit outta' luck!

10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS
The Oil was there under Babylon when the rules of this game were written!

11. DO UNTO OTHERS AS SOON AS THEY TURN THEIR BACKS
God knows you can't trust a fucking republican!

[natrat]

37. only legit if it is christians w/ family in iraq

[Rose Siding]

39. Another great opportunity for Operation Yellow Elephant!

Don't forget the enlistment forms :bounce:

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. Why are they not on the side of a grieving mother. JESUS would be

standing there with Cindy. And He is, in spirit.

[Hubert Flottz]

41. "And He is, in spirit"

And I have been thinking all evening about that very thing! In the good book the little guys win!

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. :^D I think anyone who has ever fought for peace is there with her in

spirit. My mom included.

[nadinbrzezinski]
