There's a lot of tension and a big law enforcement presence in Crawford today as Bush supporters came to town. The Brad Show is broadcasting live with Air America radio now.

    Gregz: Yep, anything wrong with that? How do you know they are all right wing? Could be some left wing folks protesting the protestors. Scar: Saves gas that way. That way the gas could be used in evilbushhitlerchimpcheneyhaliburton's war

    We know they're all right-wing because they support this stupid war.

    really? I bet there are some die hard Republicans in Camp Casey too.

    Greg Z, I wouldn't bet on it.

    OK...former diehard Republicans then.

    Not too many of those kicking around, either, so far as I can tell.

    Scar: I'll bet there are some left wingers over there because of her comments on Israel.

    How's that? As one who believes that this terrorism stems from a 1400-year religious feud rather than "they hate our freedoms" I'm inclined to agree that our support of Israel plays a big part in it. And I'm a left-winger.

    In the estranged portion of my own family TWO of my relatives have announced that Bush has broken their lifelong attachment to the party, and they are no longer Republicans because the party is kissing his moral baldspot too much for even them to take. Meanwhile, none of the Dems on the sane side of the family have suddenly decided that Bushism is better than liberal Americanism. As for Mrs. Sheehan, her comments, if they were made, on Israel are not the result of great study so far as we know. THE ENTIRE FOCUS OF HER COMMENTARY IS ON HER SON WHO BUSH KILLED OVER LIES. Israel, the status of Israel, the involvement of Israel, the involvement of the Mossad in the torture scandal, the involvement of the Sharon gov't in creating ME unrest, etc. -- not the issue of her primary protest, which is treasonous lies that stole her patriotic son from all of us. Treason is a bit more important than a grieving GS mom's marginally-informed thoughts about Israel, if she in fact made them public.

    She is not SUDDENLY an anti-war activist; she was one before her son was killed. Many in the media have omitted the fact that she ALREADY met with Bush previously, and that she stated that Bush was sincere and felt her pain. What does her not paying taxes have to do with her son's death? She earlier stated that she would stop the protest if he would meet with her AGAIN; now she says she will not stop, no matter if he meets with her AGAIN or not.I hope she continues this charade right through the '06 elections so that the mushy middle can see the loony left in all its' glory. The MSM is trying its' best to clean up her image and cast her only in the light of a sympathetic woman who has lost a son. Is someone who has suffered a great tragedy immune from ANY criticism ? Apparently so.

    bur-We'll see...less talk after the Anti-War Marches scheduled in September all acress the country. Keep an eye on the one in DC. Your position is very weak. You must be pained and blinded by partisan fury. You'll get over it.

    bureau: "Is someone who has suffered a great tragedy immune from ANY criticism" When compared to the free ride the media has given Bush, yeah. You don't have any concern for widows -- you just like pretending you give a flying f*k about the families Bush has destroyed with his lies. Bush's sincerity has been tested and found HILARIOUSLY absent from the entire mess he has ginned up for profit and undemocratic power. If you support, you are a traitor, because he is one. Mrs. Sheehan has suffered a special harm by Bush's lies. While the Muffled Media and political assassins like you pretend to be so virtuous, you are assisting in the destruction of these fine American families. Why don't you buy a bigger car, and just let it idle in your driveway with a big sign that says "Bring It On!" Cause that's how Bush killed Casey Sheehan. For oil, and the thrill of making threats he didn't have to make good. Like the threat to capture Bin Laden, or the threat to provide the solid proof he had that Hussein had WMD. No proof, no capture, no sacrifice of his vacations -- this guy IS a bastard liar with no credibility and no honor. You? No different.

    Plenty of name-calling, but little substance. Let's see; I'm a traitor, weak, a bastard liar, and an assassin. I don't seem like the one "pained by partisan fury." As I said, I hope your "March on D.C." is televised so everyone can see you lock-step issues. By the way, I don't own a big car; an example of your stereotypification. One size fits all in your eyes, I guess. GOP controls the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House; I will give you the chatrooms.

    You steal elections, and then call that a plebicite. You lie the country into war, and then call that support for the policy. You support gas-guzzling and a C-in-C with nearly a year of vacation time during two for-profit wars, and then want to pretend that it isn't the policy. Casey Sheehan died two days after Bush, hiding behind the troops, called for the hostiles to "Bring it On!" YOU are lockstep, you bloody bootlickers.

    BurCat-Better not watch the DC March on your big ole TV. Better to read about it in the 'liberal' press, the march numbers will be easier for you to digest. BTW-No one here is interested in your hack POV, it is more entertaining to read the 'liberal' press where your unimaginative babble must originate from.
