Bush Refuses to Acknowledge Mother of Fallen Soldier

I'd read about it here, but hadn't seen it on the evening news until tonight.

Man, that's alot of people. Alot. It was a traffic jam in Crawford on the way to the "Peace House."

But of course most of the story focused on the minority: Residents of Crawford angry at the protest, 100% in support of our Pres-e-dent and the I-Rock war.

RANT, there was "alot" of people because there was also a pro-Bush, pro-war rally [ie: support the troops with over 250+ people] held right across the lane/street from where Mrs. Sheehan and her crowd of supporters and mainstream media were.

From Truthout:

Thursday:
The official count for today's gathering was 705, not counting press.

Saturday:
1,000 spirited supporters rallied with Cindy at Camp Casey.

From Saturday's Waco Tribune:

CRAWFORD – More than 100 supporters of President Bush traveled to Crawford Friday to stage a counter protest as anti-war activists continued their vigil near the Western White House.

I'm pretty sure the 'lots' were mostly protesters for now. But who knows what the future holds?
