Bush Supporters

Anti-war protestors supporting Cindy Sheehan erected white crosses bearing the names of fallen soldiers at her Crawford campsite. An anti-Sheehan protestor drove his pickup truck through the crosses. So much for free speech in Crawford.
At about the time a prayer service was to begin at Sheehan's camp yesterday, a sheep farmer fired a shotgun into the air. He told the police he was preparing for a hunting season that begins Sept. 1.
Kenneth Jones of the Crawford city police said firing a gun in the countryside is commonplace, and it shouldn't surprise or frighten anyone. Hunting season's coming up and guns are part of the culture in Texas, Jones said.
"This is still redneck country," he said.
No kidding.
[Update: (TL): Crooks and Liars has the video to the Today Show segment on the destruction of the crosses.]
