Crawford, Texas
27 August 2005 Showdown Preface Who is paying for this anti-American production in Crawford, Texas? According to Darrel Ankarlo, http://ankarlo.net, George Soros/Moveon.org, Code Pink, Ben Cohen (Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream), the Socialist Worker Party, Communist Party, Feminist Peace Network, Young Communist League, USA (NY) Young Democratic Socialists, (NY) Democratic Underground, and John and Elizabeth Edwards are the larger donors. Now, she is no longer Cindy Sheehan, and has assumed the identity of al-Sheehan. Marine Moms My friend Bill Stone and I left Plano early Saturday morning to meet ace Vietnam Verterans for the Truth (VVFT) organizer Danita Gonder. I met with Danita and John Gonder last October for an Operation Street Corner showing in Arlington, Texas. Then, we met again at the VVFT celebration in Fort Worth in February 2005 with Larry Bailey and John O'Neill, my brother Tom's fellow Swiftvet. Crawford, Texas Crawford is a nice town and the people were very nice to us. The surrounding area appears very prosperous. I found a good report on the gathering at http://lonestartimes.com/index.php?p=1409 Disclosure |

| One of the eyes in the sky. When I made a u-turn at Camp Casey, I remarked to the Texas trooper parked at the end of the line of cars, "it is disturbing how many people failed the IQ test." He resisted a smile and said, "if they had jobs they wouldn't be here." | |||||||||

| I suppose one's tolerance for another's opinion can become attenuated when that other person advocates the killing of your children and friends and assists those enemies as al-Sheehan is doing. | |||||||||

| I approached one interview crew (not the crew shown above) and asked who they were with. The reply was, "he's just an independent blogger." Ha. Just an independent blogger with a professional sound crew. This confirms a new order in news reporting. | |||||||||
