Protesters Host Barbecue for Crawford
2006-08-13
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- War protesters extended the olive branch to their new neighbors in President Bush's adopted hometown by hosting a barbecue Saturday - and a few even showed up. "You can have a dialogue, but you'll never agree," said Valerie Duty, a staunch Bush supporter who wore a "This is Bush country, by George!" T-shirt. "Both sides do agree about bringing the troops home safely. The difference is the way we go about that."

Locals have been angry since a man bought five acres last month on behalf of peace activist Cindy Sheehan, who said no one in the area would have sold her any property. Anti-war demonstrator Jim Goodnow said he was glad some area residents - roughly half a dozen - visited the new protest site. "If we can get away from the name calling and see each other as Americans, that will be how we can heal this nation," Goodnow said.

#4  If I were GWB, I'd be dropping hints that I was going to Crawford every five minutes just to see all the nutcases jump! Eventually they'd get tired of it and go home.

#1  I'm betting the Sheehan bots jizzed in the BBQ sauce and all begged off to the locals on the grounds they're veggie-terrians...
