Peace and Loathing in Crawford

Excerpts>

"Why didn't the chicken cross the road?"

"Because he didn't want to talk to Cindy."

These were the first words that escaped from the loudspeakers at the rally hosted by Military Families Speak Out. I wish I could tell you the joke-teller's name, but I didn't catch it. She is one of hundreds of good people who are doing great work right now in Crawford, Texas. ..."

Snip>

"The rally lasted two hours. The entire time, a red 1970s Chevy pickup with primer on the fender and a big American flag waving in the cargo box, paced back and forth on the street. "Texas is Bush Country," a sign on the door read.

It's good to see Southern Red Staters overcoming unfair stereotypes. ..."

1. He's wrong

I'm a Texan, and my area is "Bush fucking sucks" country. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Wonder if he's the same anal cyst who knocked over the crosses? 'At a boy - show us how you support the troops, you Repuke jerk off.

[soup]

2. Might want to leave the horse out of it.

The Crawford coward is afraid of horses and women who demand answers. Otherwise, totally agree with the first part of the sentence. 'Fuck him'..

Thanks for the link, Dread Pirate KR Read. So many great personal stories. Off to read yours now.

[libhill]

3. You're probably right -

probably never been close to a horse in his life. Rexal Ranger type, I'll bet.

7. Jest be sharing adventures from me'matey, hogfan, across the bogosphere

...and wit'a hearty pint o'grog!

Cheers me'dears! :beer:

4. Sounds like Larry Mattlage's truck.

So, did this guy spend Saturday afternoon stalking the people at the rally before getting drunk Sunday morning and shooting off his gun? Sure looks like it.

[libhill]

5. That dumb ass don't know how to party

Hell, I wish Cindy and Co. would come to my place - we'd get drunk as hell, and have a loud speaker blaring a newer version of that old song, you know - "one two three four, what are we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, it's just a miniature Viet Nam" ----

[Spike from MN]

8. Yeah, the first thing I would do would be to

dump out the Keystone Light and get some REAL beer. ;)

[libhill]

9. Amen to that

Keystone is watered down horse piss. Those folks deserve better -

[hogfan]

10. Sorry, but no

Pretty funny and coincidental, but that's not the guy - or the truck.

Great pic though

11. Hi hogfan

Welcome to DU.

[hogfan]

13. Thanks

Good to be here. I'll try to check in occasionally.

[Spike from MN]

12. You mean that's NOT the guy that stalked the people at the rally?

Oh man, that means there's others like him out there. Ugh. Hmm...what does Larry "Cross-Mower" Northern drive? Just wondering.

Thanks for correcting me hogfan. And, most importantly, welcome to DU!

[hogfan]

14. One of them...One of them...

I think they're all one and the same in the "collective" sense. Same fake cowboy/fake jet pilot swagger. Fifty-three million people sharing an IQ of 73 tends to drag down the intellectual capabilities. But yes, the two drove slightly different vehicles and appeared different only in their chicken hawk facial features.

Thanks for the welcome.

[Spike from MN]

15. Yeah, you're definitely right about that.

They're all stamped out of the same mold, no doubt. But you left out a word in your post. That should read "...sharing a collective IQ of 73..." ;)

6. Thanks!

Nice report!

[pookieblue]

16. Thanks for the report.

I wish I could be down there. But I am in spirit.

I just want to say thank you to Cindy, to you Hogfan and all those others who are not afraid to go down to Crawford and stand up for what you believe in.
