1. LOL, love the pic of the freep being arrested.

Apparently, he doesn't understand about not getting in the face of a local law enforcer. MKJ

Great thread title, BTW. MKJ

[BlueJac]

36. yes, me too

:rofl:

[Snotcicles]

44. If I were there my sign would read " I support our troops

especially the one that bares my name. I don't support this war no matter
who's name is on it."

[Lex]

2. I hope the military recruiters show up

like I read about yesterday.

Seems these pro-war people would be gung-ho to get right on over to Iraq.

[Skidmore]

10. Maybe the word got around that recruiters might be there

and that contributed to the noticable lack of volunteers for the "caravan".

[Ilsa]

3. Why was this guy arrested? Did he threaten

someone at the camp?

7. The caption doesn't explain:

[txindy]

8. It appears he wasn't content w/ staying on the pro-war side of the street

He must've thought the local Sheriff's officers would let him walk on by. Apparently not! :applause:

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Sure why not? It's 'bush country' doncha know?

:rofl:

[fasttense]

11. I was listening to Bradblog live from Camp Casey

but got kicked off and was tired of restarting it for the millionth time. But before I got kicked off, he said that the guy was arrested because he got in the face of a pro peace protesters and the police told him several times to back off. He refused to back off (obviously he takes seriously being pro-war) and they arrested him for interfering with an officers performance of duty or something like that. Seems the cops are trying to keep the pro peace folks and the pro war folks separated.

[Ilsa]

18. Oh good. Thanks. I'm relly glad the peace officers are

there keeping the peace. They want to start a brawl so they all either get arrested or told to go home. They'll do anything to stop Cindy's protest.

Thanks for posting what happened. :hug:

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Yeah, he looks like some kind of major mutant

Spoilin' fur a fight with some Kommy Libruls, Doncha Know.

[MADem]

4. Hahahaha!!! Let's Roll, INDEED!

Roll your cowardly chickenhawk ass to jail!!!

The little putz should roll his GOP ass to the recruiter; they've lowered standards, so this arrest will not impact his enlistment!!!

[Bluebear]

5. "LET'S ROLL"...my these people respond to jingoistic slogans!

nt

[Lex]

15. Limited IQ. No critical thinking skills.

.
A marketer's dream (i.e. the Republican Party)--steals 'em blind, sends them or their offspring off to war, and they cheer it on.

I don't know whether to laugh at them or cry about them.

[mwb970]

6. The "Bush Country" sign made me sad.

They obviously idolize the little guy. It's amazing that they can't see how terrible his policies are, and what an awful little man he is. It's like they're worshipping an image, a false image of a George W Bush that doesn't exist, even as they ignore the real one.

Heaven help us.

[Mutley]

13. "The little guy..."

:rofl: That's hilarious.

[Straight Shooter]

14. I don't ever remember seeing "This is Clinton Country," do you?

How about "This is Nixon Country" or "Carter Country" or even "Doddering Reagan Country"?

Nope. Only the deluded who worship a (mis)leader of clay would come up with such a kool-aid sign.

[Stephanie]

19. Well his fictional image is stolen directly from the Marlboro man

Minus the horses, of course. George is afraid of horses.

[lastknowngood]

37. Actually Marlboro country is right here in Maryland and it's

rolling hills farmland. That is where the tobacco comes from.

[kool kitty streblin]

47. according to pickles

at a roast he uhhhh did the big nasty to a horse :wtf:

[MindPilot]

43. Actually i still have packed away in my political memorabilia

collection a "California is Reagan Country" poster.

[koopie57]

20. I think those people from Crawford

need to get out of there for a week and see what things are like in one of the blue states. See what it is like to sit under a tree and have a soft breeze blow across your face, to be around educated people and not be sweating all the time. Maybe their problem is they are dehyrated all the time. I wonder if there are not people there who have never seen anything else to compare life to?

[CTyankee]

27. You are right! Being a 2nd generation Texan

who saw the light at 18 and went to college in the Northeast, I can attest to what you say. I got a lot of crap from family members. People who are not in Texas don't understand that Texans consider you to be a traitor if you leave Texas voluntarily to live elsewhere. One guy knew said he was a teenager before he learned that he COULD leave Texas and live elsewhere!

I went off to college and never came back to Texas to live. Best decision I ever made!

[melody]

31. plenty of educated people in Texas and other red states

And plenty of hot-headed morons in blue states, too.

My family lived in Texas going back to 1840. My oil-rigger uncle is a staunch yellow dog Democrat and unashamed liberal, and he's 100% Texan. Most of my family down there are liberals.

[Stephanie]

34. I hate that phrase "unashamed liberal" or "unabashed liberal"

What does it mean? Why is it used so much? WHAT is there to be ashamed of in being a liberal?

[melody]

45. it's not

We liberals just tend to apologize for it - my uncle doesn't. He tosses it in peoples' faces. lol

[Stephanie]

46. I just don't think that's true

I've never apologized for being a liberal and I've never heard anyone else do so. Have you?

[melody]

48. yup, I have heard it

I don't, but I've seen various liberal folk I know dance around the word and even try to lean away from it. NeoCons can be very nasty bullies when confronted.

[Raksha]

28. Just for the record, it's called idolatry.

But I bet you knew that!

[Bluebear]

9. "We support Bush!" 2.49/2.59/2.69, ignore those pesky prices in the photo!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

25. ROFLMAO!! Great catch! n/t

:rofl:

MKJ

[Generic Other]

12. Please keep an offical Freeper photo album for us Steph

You do it so well.

I especially want to see freepers gazing longingly across the road at Camp Casey 1's port-a-potties. Drink up freepers!

[bpilgrim]

16. don't forget the Camp Casey Gallery ----- ----------- > LINK

http://media.GlobalFreePress.com

it lasts longer ;->

peace

[Plausible]

17. he got in the face of

one of Cindy's lawyers and the Veterans for Peace guy.

I like that they called him pro-war
anti-peace works too,

[0007]

41. Thanks for the switchboard run down.

[Deja Q]

21. Oh look! New recruits! Does the army allow minors though?

[oasis]

23. They're trying to set Cindy up to debate an AEI coached Rove operative.

Next up, the media will be interviewing Parrish to set up a "WWF" type event.

[smurfygirl]

24. what's up with the sign that says

hey cindy i lost 343 brothers.?.

Do these people have any brains? They all have madcowboy disease.

[Stephanie]

30. Maybe he's a fireman?

That's about how many were killed at the WTC. He's certainly not a NY fireman, tho.

[unrepuke]

26. What I don't get is how is "Support The Troops" in OPPOSITION

to Cindy's stance ???
:shrug:

"Support the War, support W, support high gas prices, Let's attack Iran" - seem more to me what they're really about

[stevedeshazer]

29. Beautiful.

Six sunshine patriots.

Recommended.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Is that an ACTUAL beehive hairdo on that first woman?

Holy Time Warp, Batman!

[BlueJac]

35. Cuffem' dano

[oneighty]

38. Vietnam Vet

looks kinda young compared to the ones at the local VFW. A few of the Vietnam Vets at the local VFW also were found to be lying about their service. The commander of the VFW post the next village over was discovered to have never even been in the service.

DD 214s? Always question.

[Jara sang]
