First visit to DU today - so, is it true that no one showed up ...
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 06:33 PM by BattyDem
at the "counter-protest" in Crawford? :bounce:



On edit: I hear the media is reporting about 400, so if I follow the usual formula, that means I should divide by 10 to get the accurate number!

1. They had photos
it looked like maybe a half a dozen, though people at the scene said there were about 50 who came in a chartered bus, stayed a half hour and then left, after chanting "We Don't Care".

5. LOL! About 50 - which means ...
the "divide by 10" rule (which would put it at 40) is pretty damn accurate! :rofl:

Only stayed half an hour, huh? I guess the heat was too much for them. They couldn't even endure it for one full day in support of the troops, who having been baking in the Iraq heat for over two years! :eyes:

3. I heard that the rented crowd was about 50. Probably the same
pond scum who 'Counter protested' us at Halliburton.
