The Freepers have posted pix of the Pro-War Rally >

[Stephanie]

I won't post them but you can go look for yourself. They have shots of both inside and outside the tent. Looks like several hundred to me. What do you think? These shots are more informative than anything off the wire services.

1. I'm guessing 500+/-

just from the pictures..

funny....

wasn't that one picture just too appropriate? Husband and Wife waiting for the caravan IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT?

sorry :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Stephanie]

5. I had the same thought

I wonder how that came about? Is Walmart a sponsor of the Pro-War Movement?

[Child_Of_Isis]

18. No! It was 500,000!

It will be reported as such... 2 to 3 days max. Give it a week and they'll spin it up to 50 mill.

[Turbineguy]

45. 50 mill?

Hey! Maybe they hired Baghdad Bob!

[xxqqqzme]

28. I noticed that as well

had 2 get new 'tars' 'n pop B4 the trip.

[Bluebear]

2. OURAGEOUS PHOTO: THIS is how they honor a Gold Star mother.....

Motherfuckers. Pardon my FRENCH.

[Child_Of_Isis]

21. Please send this to Keith.

He is the only one with balls enough to put it on the air.

[Bluebear]

24. Got it. done.

[Child_Of_Isis]

31. I found this. [e-mail] n/t

[Catrina]

35. That should be saved

and produced as evidence of how these people hate the troops and their mothers. If such a sign were on the other side, it would be all over the media. Has anyone sent this to CNN or any of the other media outlets? They need to show the country who Bush's supporters are and how much they detest their country and all its principles.

I will send that to my Republican friends with Casey's photo and with the heartbreaking picture of Cindy crying, holding his teddy-bear. She paid the ultimate price for Bush's lies and this is what his supporters do to her?

Has anything comparable been done to those mothers who still support Bush? There needs to be outrage over this ~ who is this Beck character whose name appears at the bottom of that sign?

I think we should use this every time one of them claims to support the troops. They are beyond despicable ~ this sign says it all and should be circulated far and wide, imo.

[Bluebear]

39. I will start a new thread with it.

[Turbineguy]

44. Real Class

That poor George Bush. Being on vacation and having the protesters in front of your house is bad enough. Then these people show up.

[buff2]

48. Hypocrites

Rightwingnuts are hypocrites. They bash other people for the very same things THEY do. HEY FReeptards.....How about all of you get in your pick-ups and head to New Orleans? There is a hurricane coming and if you hurry you might get there in time and save America from your poisonous spew and bile. :evilgrin:

[wtmusic]

3. Freepers going after FOX

"That FOX report was pitiful. They showed a long rant by sin-dy and then a short piece from our side without a crowd shot, and then back to sin-dy for another long rant. That's fair and balanced?"

:rofl:

[Timefortruth]

14. Faux decided not to embarrass the president

by covering this Tupperware Party/prowar rally. They would have had 15 reporters there, but then they would have outnumbered the supporters.

If there were some news to feed the propaganda machine in Crawford today, the machine would have been fed. Freepers should be satisfied that CNN reported their press release without bothering to verify it.

What's worse is that this was an all expense paid trip for those who believe, but it still wasn't worth a Saturday to them.

Over at Freerepublic their very best photos are so sad that if it weren't them I'd feel sorry for the planners.

[wtmusic]

19. They have the persistence of an ice cube in July

and that's why they'll lose.

[bribri16]

47. FOX is trying to protect them by not exposing their ignorance. n/t

[annabanana]

4. none of the pictures on these threads...

reflect anything even beginning to approach the 3-4,000 numbers that were put out today.. I would guesstimate just under 1k....all together.

[jasmeel]

13. Wasn't there a different number for the downtown pro * protest?

[xxqqqzme]

40. downtown??? that was downtown!

crawford 'downtown' is a corner intersection w/ a store/restaurant combo complete w/ flat b*sh. Same side but across is the 'yellow rose gift shop' w/ the liberty bell & 10 commandments. 3rd corner across from store R 3 grain cribs; 4th corner across from yellow rose is a vacant lot next to Crawford Peace House; Railroad tracks run behind the grain cribs & empty lot. The post office is about a mile down the road in a residential area. Downtown is about 3 blocks away from the ball park which they insist is a stadium.

[Arkansas Democrat]

34. These folks can't count, can they?

[thecrow]

6. Is *this* all they have?

Bwahahahahahaha
Not much of a turnout...
and they *only* had a month to plan it.
:rofl:

[KingFlorez]

7. Trailer park

They must have come from of the trailer parks in the south.

[Carni]

8. Are porto *Turlets* featured prominently?

I'll bet Bob Dornan (Dorman?) has his own with his name on it!

[intheflow]

9. It sure as hell isn't 1500 people.

Maybe 300, but I really think it only looks to be about 150.

::puke:

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Against my will I went over there

I really don't like that place. :scared: The place is awful. They said we were better at sliming. Uh who lied us into a war dumbasses?

[doublethink]

11. Not even close ... the last picture under the tent ....

shows maybe 75 to 100 people tops. And that's giving them the benefit of the doubt. None of those pics shows this bullshit crowd they advertise. Common Freepers .... show us your huge crowd you say was there today and STOP LYING !!!!! Peace. :)

[Child_Of_Isis]

12. I think their trip

is more about supporting Bush. I don't think it is about the troops with them, it seems to be more about Bush.

[RSchewe]

15. Those pictures are great.....

to show how nutty these people really are. Do they actually think sane people actually agree with their twisted ideology?

[Dogmudgeon]

16. Is it pro-Bush or anti-Cindy?

A good many of them seem to have turned this into a personal vendetta. "Bitch in the Ditch"? Well, it rhymes. I guess that passes for clever.

Put 'em all on TV. They're doing more to make fools of themselves than I thought was possible.

--p!

[troubleinwinter]

17. "AMERICA SHOULD STAY IN IRAQ UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS" WTF??????

[ovidsen]

20. I am not impressed.

I've seen bigger crowds waiting to get into the (wo)men's rooms at a Cubs game. Umm, maybe they don't have enough porta-johns? :)

But seriously, folks (just kidding) I love how some of them are bashing Faux News for betraying the "cause":silly:

[ecoflame]

22. 500-1000 from these pics

And I'm thinking

Underneath the tent from what I could see a couple of hundred, three maybe. This pic for instance: (pro-Bush rally in Crawford, 8/27)



we had about this many at our noontime rally on Wednesday when Bush was in town and the estimate was 100. There were crosses (1863) in the Capitol park that were erected.


At our evening rally there were 800+. Each person who came was to pick up a cross and put in another area on the way 'out' so we could get some kind of count. We were trying to outdo SLC....but SLC was freakin' amazing! Approximately half of the folks were on the statehouse steps. By the end of the rally, all the steps were filled. All the photos haven't been posted on the Peace Coalition's site.

Pro-peace rally in Boise, 8/24

[thingsarelookingup]

3000 people?

at the top of one of those links it said 3000 and more coming? Pleeease.

[Stephanie]

26. yeah but don't post their pix over here

or we will get complaints

[Ripley]

32. I see mostly MEN (of combat age) in that pic - while Camp Casey

has mostly WOMEN. What does that tell you?

[Richard Steele]

23. These GENIUSES were my favorites:

You idiot freeps like that "Iraqi Voter" photo, huh?
Better hang on to that one, since Iraqi women
won't be doing any more voting once the Muslim Theocracy
gets its act together.

That woman in the pic USED TO HAVE equal rights...Under Saddam.
With the new Iraqi constutution...not so much.

Be proud, be real proud of what your great leader has done!
Morans.

[Timefortruth]

29. The people photographed look ashamed

not at all happy to be captured for posterity.

[troubleinwinter]

30. I am thrilled by this one

"America Should Stay In Iraq Until the Fat Lady Sings"

THAT is what I call a POLICY!

[Stephanie]

36. Karen Hughes made those

She and Karl are down the road with jars of tempera paint - seriously, they look mass-manufactured.

[goodboy]

57. They look like they're of age to go die in Iraq...someone should help them

sign up!

[geomon666]

59. The Iraqi Voter has turned on them

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1732199

Iraqi activist taken up by Bush recants her views

By Andrew Buncombe

Published: 28 August 2005


She was the Iraqi activist who became a symbol of the possibility of a brighter future for Iraq.

Back in February, with blue ink on her finger symbolising the recent Iraqi election in which she had just voted, Safia Taleb al-Souhail was invited to sit with the first lady, Laura Bush, and listen to the President claim in his state of the union address that success was being achieved in Iraq. Her picture went round the world after she turned to hug Janet Norwood, a Texas woman whose son had been killed in Iraq.

But now it appears Ms Souhail, an anti-Saddam activist who became Iraq's ambassador to Egypt, may be having second thoughts about the "success" she celebrated with a two-fingered victory sign.

Having seen the negotiations for the country's constitution fall into disarray and the prospect of a secular constitution severely undermined, she expressed her concerns last week.

"When we came back from exile, we thought we were going to improve rights and the position of women. But look what has happened: we have lost all the gains we made over the past 30 years. It's a big disappointment. Human rights should not be linked to Islamic sharia law at all. They should be listed separately in the constitution."

[Richard Steele]

60. Wow, great post Geomon! You should start a new thread for that one!

I had no idea that this woman's name was known;
I just assumed she was some anonymous voter who photographed well!

I should have known better, since B*shCabalInc.™
is so entirely PHONEY!

Nothing they do happens without a damn script!

Thank you for finding this!

[Ilsa]

65. That woman has just come out and turned on Bush.

There's a 8/27 thread on it in LBN.

[PA Democrat]

25. LOL! "Just say no to premature extraction

At first glance I thought that big pharma was sponsoring the pro-war idiots.

[tsuki]

27. Since the AP dubbed this the Pro-Bush rally, I think we should

follow their lead.

[PA Democrat]

33. Is the blue tape covering another stupid freeper spelling error?

It looks like it says "Unlike some poeple." What is it with these guys and their pathetic spelling?

[proud patriot]

37. it is , it is ...OMG the blue tape is covering a misspelling

those look like expensive posters , I wonder how many
were printed up . :rofl:

[mtnester]

42. Bwahhaa..."Unlike Some Poeple"

snarf

[Webster Green]

53. LOL!......Now that is funny!

Gotta spread this pic far and wide. :rofl:

[insane_cratic_gal]

63. They didn't know Whiteout

was white! give em a break!

LOL really it's blue white-out!

[Timefortruth]

38. American Gothic meets PR firm "homemade" signs.

I's say they tried a little too hard to make the signs look authentic.

[w13rd0]

52. Those are some sick mother f*ckers there...

...why don't they move to Saudi Arabia where they can continue to hate us for our freedoms. Damn I'd be tempted to snap if I ever met these sub-human cretins in RL.

[Straight Shooter]

61. Hey, lady! The correct spelling is O-S-A-M-A

But you don't know that because, see, your golden-calf idol bush has put Osama (not Osomo) on the far far far back burner of his political agenda.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

41. The recruiters really missed the boat here...

They could have set up a table and signed in a hundred and fifty new recruits with all that patriotism in the air.

[KerryOn]

43. A Post From a freeper:

>"To each and everyone one of you in Crawford, Walter Reed, and everwhere democracy is under attack, I salute you and pray for you!"<

So correct me if I'm wrong, but is this Freeper saying that we are attacking democracy?!

These people realy are crazy!

[buff2]

46. I looked at all the pictures and there is NO WAY they had the numbers

they are touting. They're lucky if they had a 100. Like everything else they do,they hyped the numbers up. More balloons and signs than people. What a crock.

[Orrin_73]

49. This is the most despicable pic I have seen

they are defaming Cindy. These people are no humans. Unf*****n believable.

[ecoflame]

51. I know...

Stupid, stupid people.:puke:

[BlueStater]

55. Uh, morons?

Iraq has nothing to do with bin Laden or Al Qaeda.

Sheesh.

[Timefortruth]

50. Theirs is a strange world.

Mrs. Gothic pushes to the front.




Son Gothic looks for parents.


The American flag is defaced, but not burned.


Navel gazing in freeperville.

[Ripley]

54. Looks like one of them thar Tent Revival Meetin's

Except for the writing on the flag...FLAG DESECRATION!!! FLAG DESECRATION!!!! Where's the Police?

And that's one big ass zoom. He has another job me suspects.

[iconoclastic cat]

56. Weird. They're all white people.

[insane_cratic_gal]

64. you didn't expect them to be

Arab did you? =)

[tuckessee]

58. There's a lotta girth in that crowd.

"Hold muh beyeer while ah saloot them thar troops fahting f'r our free-dumbs agin them Eye-rackees."

[WorseBeforeBetter]

62. I noticed that too. Perhaps sweating it out in camo...

in the Iraqi desert would help them drop a few (or 50) lbs...

[HughBeaumont]

66. So many damned ten-thousand gallon HATS as well . . .

What is it with Repukes and SIZE?

Not to mention Old Glory Masturbation . .. all the while mud-stomping the SHIT out of everything it stands for.
