Thousands protest against Sheehan in Crawford over the weekend? WTF!
I found this on a sad looking right wing blog with a real catchy name KarensKorner, here:

from: Gary L. Bauer

Thousands Demonstrate AGAINST Cindy

Thousands of pro-military, pro-Bush demonstrators poured into Crawford,
Texas, over the weekend to counter the rantings of leftwing extremist Cindy Sheehan. Of course, the media lost interest in the story just as they arrived!

Tousands "poured" into Crawford! wow, I thought it was maybe several hundreds, then of course they quickly got back in their gigantic SUV's and hurried home.

3. there never were "thousands." Believe me, if the 'pukes had pictures
of thousands of protestors, they would be all over the "liberal" media. They don't exist. And don't you find it funny that there is a noticable lack of the pro-war protestors. Those too, should be all over the media. Hmmmm.....

8. I haven't seen any pics either
You would think out of all of these thousands of people, some would have brought cameras. I mean, since their protest was organized on the internet, they obviously have internet access. And if there were thousands, someone would have posted something to verify it. They wouldn't be hiding those pictures if they had them.

2. Is this guy "the" Gary Bauer? And....
good ole Karen can't even spell "conservative". Click on site and read right-hand column.

The revolution should be relatively easy.

4. So Cindy is the equal of Bush?
The Gold Star Mother has an equivalent position to the President of the United States?

Do they get how important THEIR opposition makes her?

5. Her "experts" must be as dense as she is.
"The price of oil reached into record territory, and gas prices are on the way up – again – with some experts predicting a possible price hike of 15 cents a gallon by the end of the week."

Went up 19 cents over night in Indianapolis, expected to be 12 to 15 cents higher than that in the next few days.

6. Financed by Republican pacs.
The Peace demonstrators are, on the other hand, free individuals, who have accepted the financial task of being there, with minimal support.

10. Thousands of Bush supporters and I will bet an
arm and leg not one of them went to the recruiters office to join the
Bush Crime Family's invasion of Iraq,its not surprising gun ho!ya ya
yippee yi yo ky-yeah types rallying to support a known liar at the same time bash Cindy Sheehan.My personal opinion,the Bush Crime Family
criminal lawyers and karl rove pointed out to our chicken-hawk-in chief
any direct answers to those damn Downing Street memo's might pose a huge problem and never mind explaining Noble Cause.How is it "noble" to die in a war based on fixed,faked,forged and lied about documents submitted by John Bolton as paper proof Saddam was buying yellow-cake
uranium so he could "nuke us"..The memo's dispute and debunk the Bush Crime Family's assertion Saddam could kill us in 45 minutes.
Cindy defeated a PUNK FAKE president,he hid out and trashed her from
a distance....anyway,I still bet not one gopers signed up for the Military

which is why he must lash out against anyone who dares to question the Agenda.

12. If they do ever show photos, better look at them closely..
Remember that Rethug (running for something or other) who photo-copied a massive Dean crowd and changed all the Dean signs, hats, and banners to his name?

Seriously! I forget now who the idiot was.. but his campaign said they didn't know how the mishap occurred.

Yeah. Right. :rofl:

17. Check the Top 10 Idiots archives.
It was 2 or 3 months ago. They have both the Dean pic and the photoshopped one with the 'Puke.

18. HEY, THAT IS WHAT.....
I saw on "Fix" over the weekend, that thousands of pro-Bush folks had arrived in Crawford, BUT THEN I CHANGED TO MSNBC and they said that there were a couple hundred protestors on both sides, and they even went on to say that the numbers for both sides had been greatly exaggerated by the press. Did anyone else catch that? It was Sunday afternoon.

Go figure!
