CRAWFORD, Texas - Iraq war protesters camping out near President Bush’s ranch are getting support from a prominent figure in the anti-Vietnam war movement: folk singer Joan Baez.

Baez planned a free concert in Bush’s adopted hometown Sunday that was expected to draw more than 1,000 people on a 1-acre lot offered by a landowner who opposes the war. Not far away, protesters continued a camp-out started by grieving mother Cindy Sheehan. Meanwhile, more Bush supporters arrived at a downtown pro-Bush camp. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 150 people had visited the large tent with “God Bless Our President!” and “God Bless Our Troops” banners and a life-size cardboard cutout of Bush.

The pro-Bush camp is called “Fort Qualls,” for Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls, 20, killed in Fallujah last fall. His father, Gary Qualls of Temple, said the anti-war demonstrators are being disrespectful to soldiers.

In addition to the “Fort Qualls” camp, a few Bush supporters have stood with signs in the ditch across from the demonstrators’ camp. Down the street, another group of about a dozen set up tents and pro-Bush signs on private property over the weekend.

1. Just like 'The Lonely Guy"

Remember, the movie with Steve Martin? All the lonely bachelors had these cardboard cutouts of people so they wouldn't feel alone.

3. It's trick cardboard...

when you put a lifesize cardboard cutout of Cindy next to it, it runs and hides under the bed.
