Nate drove out to Crawford this morning to check out the situation and meet Cindy Sheehan. My favorite paragraph:
When we got there, it was like a Fourth of July picnic. Tents and lawn chairs and acoustic guitar. I had planned on being inconspicuous, so I was wearing a black leathe jacket and sunglasses. So I stood out amidst all the tie-dye and pink t-shirts and sandals. They were all hippies.Now just because someone owns a Code Pink t-shirt and (*cough* a couple pairs of *cough*) Birkenstocks doesn't make them a hippie.
Even with the stereotyping, though, Nate's post is quite insightful at times, as well as informational.
Also - Drive Democracy has an inspiring post regarding volunteers at the Sheehan camp.
I'm pretty sure some were hippies, but everyone was on the same page. Something other progressives should probably take note of.
Literally, everyone had the same agenda and the same goal and they were doing everything to accomplish it. I am impressed by their determination and their grit.
Nate, Nate, Nate. What on earth were you doing wearing a leather jacket in Crawford in August??
I know. And he was trying to look inconspicuous. Too funny.
That stupid hippie needs to go home all she wants is attention for herself. Her family has already denounnced her. Her family supports the effort for which their family member died for.
That media whore needs to go home and get a job.
Wonk: oh, that was persuasive. You're on the wrong blog, BTW. Go offer yourself up as proof on unintelligent design theory.
Not to mention you can't spell or understand English grammar. Maybe you could be part of the lobby to reform Texas public education. You could be Exhibit 1.
Cindy Sheehan in Crawford. I hope people aren't going because they want to meet a former supermodel.
Nate's post is touching. Bush is an idiot, and his pr folks ought to be flogged.
