Pro-War-ans Beat Up Own in Crawford. Oopsie!
...At the pro-Bush rally, there were some heated moments when two members of Protest Warrior, a group that frequently holds counter protests to anti-war rallies, walked in with a sign that read "Say No to War — Unless a Democrat is President."

Many Bush supporters only saw the top of the sign and believed the men were war protesters, so they began shouting and chasing the pair out. One man tore up their signs. When Will Marean of Minneapolis kept repeating that he was on the Bush side and tried to explain Protest Warrior's mission, one Bush supporter shook his hand and apologized.

Later today, a few Bush supporters went to the edge of the anti-war camp trying to remove some of the hundreds of white crosses bearing fallen soldiers' names. They had a list from families who didn't want their sons' or daughters' names associated with Sheehan's group. Sheriff's deputies said they could remove the name tags but not the crosses, so the group removed a few tags and left without incident.

4. LOL, that's pretty funny. The couldn't even finish reading the sign
before they went on a rampage. Even the sign says it all. They don't care about innocent lives, deaths, being right or wrong. They only care about partisan politics. How very sad and alarming.

5. How the f-ck can the sheriff allow those idiots to touch the crosses??
Those f-ckwads do not "own" the names. If they feel they have a case they need to bring it before a judge. Otherwise, the crosses are private property and it's a civil matter, not something the sheriff should decide.

Damn activist sheriffs.

9. The protest warriors...
are a couple of young punks. They need to sign up and join a combat unit. If a tender young bleeding heart liberal elitist like myself can make it through four years as an armor crewman then I don't see why a couple of gung-ho patriots like these guys can't do the same. They look like infantry material to me.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS! PICK UP FUCKING RIFLE AND FIGHT! Actions speak louder than words boys.
