Anti-war protesters defied by supporters

Anti-war protesters camped outside U.S. President George Bush's Texas ranch are being confronted by military families who claim they are disrespectful.

The war's opponents are led by California activist Cindy Sheehan, who blames Bush for her son's death in Iraq. Since Aug. 6, a group called Veterans for Peace has begun placing crosses bearing the names of dead soldiers outside the ranch.

...

Anti-war protesters "never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause," said Gary Qualls, whose son was killed in Iraq. "They are not respecting our sons and daughters."
Last weekend, Qualls transferred the crosses to a site in downtown Crawford, and by Wednesday afternoon, friends and family of 14 other fallen soldiers followed suit.

Thursday, about 500 signs that say "Support Our Troops" and "Bush Country" were to be placed on property directly across from Sheehan's camp by a group called GrassFire.org.

*note: this is the Moonie Times, so the report isn't that suprising...

2. RE: "Anti-war protesters defied by supporters"

Anti-war protesters "never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause,"

"They are not respecting our sons and daughters."

4. How is putting up a cross not respecting their sons and daughters?

Huh? Geesus,those people are too phucked up for society. If Raygun hadn't shut down all the mental hospitals,they would be over flowing right now with those nutcases. Those people are the devil's little helpers,IMHO.

5. The Mooney Times forgets to mention

that, MERE DAYS BEFORE THE FREEPTARD IDIOT RAN OVER THE CROSSES WITH HIS TRUCK, Qualls visited Cindy and hugged her and paid respects at his son's cross . . .

7. The cons are charging $15.00 per sign! Or 2 for $30.00 (such a deal-lol)

I am NOT making this up.

A group called Grassfire is NOT welcome in Texas in this August drought, btw.


And what's up with this, from their poorly written website:

"Help Support Camp Casey and more" !!!? http://grassfire.org/
