"The Bush side waved flags, sang patriotic songs, chanted Go, George, Go!"

The morning pro-Bush rally at the site was organized by Darrell Ankarlo, a conservative radio talk show host for KLIF in Dallas, who said "in my heart of hearts I believe that we're trying to do the right thing" in Iraq. He also asked to meet with Sheehan, but she only agreed to meet privately Saturday evening with Bush supporters whose relatives have died in Iraq. The 250-plus Bush supporters stood in the blazing sun for a few hours in a ditch across the street from the campsite. Most waved American flags and held signs, including "Help! I'm surrounded by America hating idiots!" and "Thank you, Mr. President."

The first counter-rally was Friday night, organized by another conservative radio talk show host, Mike Gallagher. He brought many of the 100 Bush supporters by bus to the anti-war group's campsite, and the pro-Bush side waved flags, sang patriotic songs and chanted, "Go, George, go!"

But Tim Origer, who lost his left leg above the knee when he was a 19-year-old marine fighting in Vietnam, said Saturday that believing the war with Iraq is wrong does not diminish their support for the soldiers.

"When Iraqi Freedom started, it looked so much like Vietnam that I couldn't be quiet," said Origer, who lives in Santa Fe, N.M., and is a member of Veterans for Peace. "It's real easy to say war is good when you don't have to be in it."

Unfucking belivable. Of course you know that "them and there's" won't have a kid or grandkid withing 10,000 miles of Iraq.

I hate to feel sorry for those asswipes but its just so sad to watch them in action,totally UNCARING for the next one to get a bullet in the brain or blown up by a bomb.

They don't and have never supported the troops,they only support Corporate War and George Bush.
