"those in attendance might surprise you"
Never underestimate the ability of right wing idiots to be inadvertantly funny...

http://buzz.nationalreview.com/073868.asp

Below are actual pictures from the Nazional Review's website coverage of the "growing crowds" at the counter-demonstration in Crawford...








Yeah, just look at those throngs....

1. What to do?
Invite them for vittles and music at Camp Casey.

Guaranteed that some of those few "pro-war" protesters will change their allegiance from Team Bush to We, The People.

The Bigger Tent always wins.

7. Invite WHO?
There's nobody In ANY of the Nazional Review's photos....

No wonder a Republican PR firm is having to bus in paid shills...

"Move America Forward ( the Hate crowd ) was outed today by Keith Olbermann as having been launched by a Sacramento P.R. firm which has strong ties to the Republican party. Later in the segment Dana Milbank said that they were part of the Orin Hatch for President campaign. lol That's grassroots for you. This diary at Kos was the first one that I found which uncovered the scam."

2. They've got Bethany holdig down the fort all by herself!
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 07:26 AM by Stephanie
No wonder she caught the writer's attention - she's the only one there!

from the link:

But the person who really caught my attention was a woman named Bethany Berry. Bethany is an 18-year-old who for a time this morning was guarding the pro-Bush campsite on her own while the other supporters were at work or attending to family affairs.


:rofl:

14. Bethany's old enough to enlist, what the hell's she doing in Texas?
That girl's holding down the wrong fort, IMHO.

32. The grand old party casts a big ole
Empty tent. Last week the CNN reporter was playing up the War rally and playing down Camp Casey. She actually had the hundreds at the war rally overpowering the hundred or so at Camp Casey. Sure wish they could report the real news.

26. this morning's Houston Chronicle says
sub headline reads "sheehan returns as opposing camp gains momentum"
goes on to state that the "You Don't speak.." tour is "expected to bring at least 10,000 more demonstrators to this time ranching community."
10,000! hmmmmmmmmmm
goes on to say that "the two dueling protests have grown intensely hostile"- of course, there is a 3X3 pix next to it with Bush getting a big hug the mom with 5 sons in Iraq>>>>>>(provocative,? no ?)
lots of subliminal press going on here.....
the last line of the Cindy article says "They've turned Bush's vacation home into Baghdad airport,"- Barry Crimmins (air america)

28. Barbed Wire Fences For Bush!
Hey, don't you DARE impune the patriotism of those barbed wire fences. They're out there every moment of every day, supporting the President and quoting the Bible. Poorly. To say nothing of that chair and blanket that supports Bush. And what of the horse-and-wood table? It supports the President so much that it is willing to stand out in the SUN to do so.

When a man can mobilize inanimate objects to rally for him, you know he's gotta be something special. A real miracle worker.

38. I like how there is nothing but blank space under the "We support
The Bush plan". I find it ironic that there is no plan. Just a large empty space!
