Report from the Kerry stop in Sheboygan
Ok, little report from me about the Kerry rally here in Sheboygan, that was held at Fountain Park.

The crowd was HUGE. I decided not to actually go in, just too many people.

At 8th and Ontario the only group of anti-Kerry protestors were there, I found out that none of them were from Sheboygan. None!
The Bush-Cheney campaign bused them here from (I'm pretty sure,) Milwaukee.

In this picture, the Bush-Cheney people (they were wearing Bush-Cheney shirts and hats and buttons,) are behind the guy in the plaid shirt.



The guy in back wearing the black cap appeared to be the group's organizer, after Kerry began speaking, he said to the group not to wander off, because they needed to get on the bus to head to Appleton.

Here's a clearer picture of the bunch Bush-Cheney rented to follow Kerry around Wisconsin.
(And yes, those are idiotic flip-flop costumes in the background, the Kerry protestors were wearing.)



I got some of them mad at me, when they held up four fingers and chanted "Four more years," I'd hold up four fingers and yell "Bush's IQ!"

I also made a crack to two of them who said "It's getting warm around here with all the hot air," I said, "Then it must be really hot in Oshkosh then."

I got some filthy looks, but there were too many cops around for them to do the usual Bush supporter schtick.

that you can understand how it must be important for him to hold up a sign about "lambert field" and that he should enjoy his free time while he has it, since he will likely be enjoying iraq if bush gets selected again?

4. News media is careful not to mention or show size of Kerry crowds.
