Will Bush get booed by the American Legion??

[kentuck]

Anyone? He's handpicked this crowd to spread around his bullshit. He's afraid. He's very, very, very afraid. He doesn't want any investigations. He doesn't want the truth to come out. He must maintain a majority. He must campaign harder....harder...harder...

1. No. These guys will be true-blue Kool Ade drinking zombies.

[Ioo]

4. YOU ARE SO WRONG HERE

These guys passed out and wore ear covers last year - On them it read "Bullshit protectors"

I am a disabled vet, and these OLD WW2 guys know what war is, and they know when we should go, as I sit and wait for an appointment at a VA hospital the waiting rooms just explode when FOX news has Bush speeches on...

6. They will be sooooo screened. He's not going to take any

chances now what with the elections coming up and all the resistance he's been getting lately.

Not one person will get in that audience that isn't a true believer.

7. VFW had the ear protectors

This is the American Legion. One degree of seperation IMO, and this busted up old draftee views the American legion with a jaundiced eye.

8. I agree. The VFW is far more 'liberal' than the American Legion.

I could spray a firehose into an American Legion meeting without getting a liberal wet ... but the VFW is far closer to the demographics of the whole country.

11. PSSSSSST!

2. CNN is saying he was greeted at the airport

by a couple thousand supporters. I just can't believe that those were'nt arranged. How could that many people come together in support of him. I just DO NOT GET IT.

[meegbear]

5. Did they show a clip of it?

I have an odd feeling, the answer's no.

[jmowreader]

12. That was an arranged photo op, you're absolutely right

And you wouldn't believe how many WEEKS it took to get every person in America who still supports Shrub into the same area.

3. Salt Lake City VFW 08/22/05

Veteran Bill Moyer

9. they should wear bullshit protectors, like the VFW

10. Now that it's over, I'd say he got good-n-jeered, kentuck.

I would say at least 30% of the crowd wasn't havin' it.

When he claimed "we will stay in Iraq until victory is achieved" the jeering was almost at the same level as the smattering of applause.
