Daily Kos: Crawford Counter-Protestors chant: "We Don't Care"

Crawford Counter-Protestors chant: "We Don't Care"

Fri Aug 12, 2005 at 05:10:56 PM PDT

My wife just called me from Camp Casey.
Counter-protestors showed up in a bus.
Don't know with whom or what they're affiliated.

After they arrived, the Sheehan supporters stood and sang "God Bless America."

The response?

A repeated chant of "We don't care. We don't care. We don't care..."

I'm blogging updates from my wife here:

I just posted the same thing -- actually I think we can both leave ours, what do you think?

  "God Bless America" is good. Next up, "Star Spangled Banner" or "Go Army Dot Com!"
  Seriously. They want the Cindy circle to look like the rabid anti-war activists they believe they are. So you shock them in their boots with that which they do not expect...

Different diary titles attract different eyes.
Boy I hope somone (including my wife, possibly) was videotaping the "We don't care" chant.

- I agree (none / 0)
  
  I clicked on them both. There's some redundancy, but also a lot of fresh commentary. I don't think that one can devote too much attention to something like this.

That is old news (none / 1)

We know they don't care. And, I don't care that they don't care.
IMHO, it is important for Camp Casey not to respond to them. The Careless Gang would like a confrontation. It would give the officials an excuse to move everyone out.

  We don't know if there are some political operatives on that bus, if you know what I mean. Remember Tom Delay's stooges in 2000 Florida?
  Would be like to be able to scan the faces for GOP operatives.

    see these rabid repubs attacking the mother of a fallen soldier. I'm glad they are publicly telling the truth now for the world to hear...they don't care!! Their ''support'' for the troops are nothing but hollow words!

If ANYONE gets video, tell me! (none / 1)

Just email me, and I'll give you an address to upload the video. I'll edit it and make JPEG still within about 25 minutes. Then we'll send it out.
I want the world to see these bastards yelling, "We don't care"!

he uses a bus for his book-hawking tours and was supposed to go to Crawford today.
Will someone ask him, politely, when one of his four 20-something sons will sign up?

does "We don't care," mean? They don't care whether God blesses American or they don't care that Casey Sheehan is dead?
