Bush Supporters To Rally Friday In Crawford

Supporters of the President from Georgia and Oklahoma will rally Friday at the Crawford High School stadium.

Bush supporters from Georgia will bring more than 35 bed sheets filled with signatures of support for the President, which will be hung up during a prayer breakfast from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m. Friday at the stadium.

Photographs of the signed sheets will be delivered to the President and First Lady, organizers said, and then the sheets will be washed and donated to homeless shelters.

....

“Help us tell the media that we are strong in numbers, that we don't want war, but we must finish the job,” the group said in a prepared release.”

1. I wonder how long it took the three guys with Sharpies to sign all those?

I call Bullshit.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. My exact thoughts Ben! ROFLMAO!!!! n/t

[dogday]

2. They are going to actually do something

for the homeless? Now there is something you don't see every day!

[benburch]

6. 35 sheets. Wow. Big deal.

At the local linen outlet that is like $140.

[tanyev]

22. Oh, I'm sure they already had some on hand.

[ClintonTyree]

26. They'll probably take them off their beds........

you know, the ones that have been on the bed since they bought it? I'm sure there's some NASTY stains on those sheets, I don't think the "homeless" would be interested. ;)

[Jade Fox]

56. Is it just me, or does that sheet story sound fishy?

Under what sort of circumstances could you get 35 bed sheets filled with
signatures? It would take a huge amount of space just to lay them all out.
And who signed them, a whole church congregation?--that would not
fill up 35 sheets, which could potentially hold thousands of signatures.

And how awkward would it be to try and sign a bedsheet? How do you
do it, by getting down on all fours?

Sounds like bunk to me.

[tanyev]

3. "and then the sheets will be washed and donated to homeless shelters"

Whaaa? Anything you would use to write big and bold on a bed sheet will never wash out 100%. How bizarre. Guess those "lucky" homeless people will have something to read at the shelter.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Yes they will.

The names of people who think the homeless are homeless because they are lazy. Nice, huh?

[HeeBGBz]

25. Signatures of their oppressors

Makes for tough sleeping.

[thereismore]

4. I wonder if George and Laura will see THESE guys. n/t

[sabra]

5. my thoughts exactly!

[ClintonTyree]

21. I just LOVE this part.........

“Help us tell the media that we are strong in numbers, that we don't want war, but we must finish the job,” the group said in a prepared release.”

They had to PREPARE that "release"? I can see these three people huddled around the kitchen table with a twelvepack of "Bud", saying to each other... "'ya think that's good enuf to git on the TV, Bubba"? "Why shore, Festus. Even that librul medya cain't ignore a heart warmin' gesture like this'un! "Thas' rat, Bobby Joe. We's gonna show those yankee librul jews a thang or three". :eyes:

What a gracefully and tasteful "release". The hours they spent pouring over the wording of this was time well spent. :sarcasm:

[nookiemonster]

7. Hey ya numbnuts! You're supposed to WEAR the sheets

:sarcasm:

Details...details...

[Inland]

11. LOL! nt

[SalmonChantedEvening]

38. bahahaha!!

Beat me to it and glad ya did nookiemonster! :rofl:

[Inland]

8. Ask them to sign enlistment forms instead of sheets.

See how many signature you get.

[nookiemonster]

42. ....crickets.....

eom

[benny05]

59. Oh No

They won't enlist...they have more and better ways to serve their country than being freedom fighters in Iraq or the Middle East. They are much too precious for that.

As to the sheets being donated to homeless shelters...I hope they have notes attached to them..."courtesy of President and Mrs. Bush..previously used to support us politically, not our troops."

[ohio_liberal]

9. I hope all 12 of them...

...have a really nice time in Crawford. :eyes:

[Bob3]

12. Well it should look good for the cameras

all those sheets covered row after row of X's.

[Tesla]

15. WTF?????

These folks are nuts!!!

[ClintonTyree]

13. Great, you can count on more confrontation............

and desecration when bush's yahoos come to town. Pick-up trucks, slim-jims, bottles of Wild Turkey and Lynard Skynard blaring from car stereos will be the order of the day. Then, sometime during the wee hours of the morning when the Wild Turkey is taking very loudly, these brave "freedom fighters" will attack or desecrate Camp Casey again.
Everywhere these assholes go, trouble follows.
To those in Camp Casey, gird your loins.

[theHandpuppet]

19. Hey now...

I had a Slim Jim and a bag of Cheetos on my way back to WV from Camp Casey. I just gave my Dodge Ram to a neighbor because I couldn't justify its gas guzzling habits, but I loved that truck for almost 20 years.

Of course, I was listening to NPR while munching on the Slim Jim, but what the hey...

[nookiemonster]

29. Mmmmmmmm

eom

[ClintonTyree]

35. Sorry about the "Slim Jim" remark.........

I've eaten them a few times. I think they're made from the scrapings from after the scrapings are processed. They're OK in a pinch, but "haute cuisine", they're not! ;)

[theHandpuppet]

43. No prob -- I thought it was funny

Brie is kind of hard to eat while you're driving. :D

[flying_wahini]

23. Crawford - here I come

I'm planning on heading out to Crawford bright and early Sat. morn
-about a 3 hour drive from here, I am sure there will be lots
of "uber-goobers" there...I think the hardest part will be to hold my tongue....I live near Houston - and am getting used to it..
but I am SO PROUD to be a liberal....

[tyedyeto]

14. So, these supporters will be allowed to speak with * but

Cindy won't. WTF???

[crikkett]

16. the graphic that accompanied the story...

...strikes me as odd. I would have assumed a photo of the sheets or the stadium would have accompanied the story. (I want to see the sharpie-sigs)

http://media.graytvinc.com/images/bush+over+flag1.jpg

What is that dorky expression on his face?
:freak:



(on edit: it's a stadium not a gym.)

[oneighty]

17. How is it

they can use the Crawford High School Stadium?

Can Cindy do that too? Can Cindy also pray to the same god? God must be terrible confused by the opposing viewpoints.

180

[ClintonTyree]

28. The "football stadium" at that.........

that's "holy ground" in Texas! Yeah, they'll roll out the red carpet for the "patriots" but wouldn't even give those at Camp Casey drinking water.
Yep, these folks are REAL patriots, alright! :puke:
I hope someone in Crawford will be on hand to pass out enlistment papers to all those entering the stadium. I would, if I were even remotely near Texas. Being stuck here in western New York blows sometimes, but at least I don't have to live down south anymore. The cultural and political climate damned near killed me down there.

SOMEONE, PLEASE hand out enlistment papers to these assclowns! Let's test their "patriotism" on the spot.

[oneighty]

39. Western NY?

We are neighbors.

Yes it would be interesting to be there passing out the enlistment forms.

180

[opihimoimoi]

18. But what if the FINISHING the JOB cost 687,000 lives? Or, More?

4 million? 175 million dead and 56.09 trillion dollars? would it be worth it?

There is no end to a slippery slope?

Despite Bushie showing signs of not Being There...poor results, losing score, anything but a good leader, the supporters still support? WTF? Don't they got Brains?

[leesa]

20. Finish WHAT job. They don't get the point at all.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Hence, The Stand-Off

They will never see the light. The "us v. them" is permanent, i fear.
The Professor

[ismnotwasm]

27. Sheets.

As usual, crass and just wrong. I can see 'em bringing them in, hanging up at local bars everywhere "sign this for bush" In the middle of darts and pool and around the fifth pitcher of beer, after groping the waitress a couple a times--"Well HELL yeah, I'll sign that sheets. They need to kill all those bastard commies Hey, let me try one of those on! har har" Then off to a respectable bar fight, hopefully it would be the long suffering waitress just kicking one of their asses after getting tired of being groped.

[ClintonTyree]

30. I wonder how many.........

"Buster Hymens" and "Ivana Sukya"'s have signed those sheets. The poeple are real big on "humor", you know? :eyes:

[ismnotwasm]

32. LOL nt

[ohio_liberal]

34. Don't forget...

Jack Mehoff and Mike Hunt :D

[greekspeak]

37. You forgot Henoder Titzoff

How could you forget that Important Puke Titzoff? What about I P Freely, composer of "Yellow River?" Where is that great Ueber Patriot Seymour Butts?

[nookiemonster]

44. Ben Dover and Phil McCrevice

:silly:

eom

[jmowreader]

31. Makes you almost wish you ran a homeless shelter, doesn't it?

You know there's going to be a big media thing at the homeless shelter when the Bushbots show up to deliver the sheet. (Knowing these assholes, 35 homeless shelters will get one sheet apiece.)

So whatcha gonna do? Easy: Insist on having the ceremony in the parking lot. After they hand you the sheet, spit on it, rip it in half, throw it on the ground, denounce (loudly) the man who's done so much to fill your shelter to overflowing, then pull out your Zippo and torch the lousy thing.

The looks on the Bushbots' faces would be priceless.

[benburch]

33. I have volunteered at one.

And we would have had NO use for sheets. It was all blankets and gym-type exercise mats.

[Horse with no Name]

46. Yep

Homeless shelters aren't 5-star hotels.
They have no use for sheets--it just adds more work to the volunteers of washing them. Of course, since the wingnuts have NEVER been in a homeless shelter, they wouldn't know that.

[DoYouEverWonder]

47. Oh I bet Jeremy Reynalds from Talon News

who also runs a homeless shelter in New Mexico would be a good candidate.

Funny, haven't heard much from old Jeremy lately since he retired has a 'terrorist expert'.

[blogslut]

36. Sheets?

That's just stupid.

And what's up with that story? A little slanty, I should say.

[justjones]

62. Not so bizarre when you think about the KKK. eom.

[myrna minx]

40. Are they trying to have a Levy Pants revolution? LOL!

I'm sure Ignatius has a few sheets for them.

[tyedyeto]

41. It's now almost 9:30 in Crawford. How many actually showed up?

Has anybody heard from someone in Crawford? The 'hugh' rally should be over by now.

[benburch]

45. I doubt they had two people for each sheet.

Which would have been the only effective way to display them.

[tyedyeto]

51. LOL

Thanks for the brain pic. Time for a shower now.

[ObaMania]

54. Yeah... did they show and does anyone have pics? n/t

[Javaman]

48. Wanna bet, cmdr cuckoo bananas* goes and visits them?

[Jade Fox]

49. Someone be sure and bring them plenty of enlistment forms. n/t

[earthmama]

53. ohhh that would be good!

[sakabatou]

50. Huwah?

“Help us tell the media that we are strong in numbers, that we don't want war, but we must finish the job,” the group said in a prepared release.

WTF?!

[kbm8795]

55. And how, exactly, are they getting

access to the President?

[Generic Other]

57. WAIT ISn't that where the big FOOTBALL game is being held tonight??

Damn. Bet the media will act like all theose going to the game came to a pro-Bush rally. We'll see HUGE crowds on CNN. Damn.

[Mutley]

58. Let them do it.

It's their right, right? And if the President speaks to them it will just make him look even worse for refusing to speak to Cindy. Not to mention that people will notice that the * supporters get to use the local high school gym while the opposition has to sit in ditches on the side of the road. And, if one of them gets drunk and wrecks Camp Casey again, it will make them look even worse. We almost can't lose in this situation.

[flying_wahini]

60. pack up all my cares and woes...... here i go

I just heard that Amy Goodman from Free Speech is there already,
Joan Baez is on her way and will be there, as well as Colleen Rowley(sp?) - the FBI whistleblower from the 911 testimony...
i am making my signs and packing my toilet paper, and mosquito repellant as we speak.......
is anyone else going????

[bleedingheart]

61. Why would they want to wash their names away???

perhaps because they may flip flop later????
