Counterprotest of Cindy Sheehan

Thank you (finally) MSM for pointing that not everyone is fawning over Cindy Sheehan...

From AP:

The morning pro-Bush rally at the site (near Sheehan's group) was organized by Darrell Ankarlo, a conservative radio talk show host for KLIF in Dallas, who said: "In my heart of hearts I believe that we're trying to do the right thing (in Iraq)."

He also asked to meet with Sheehan, but she only agreed to meet privately Saturday evening with Bush supporters whose relatives have died in Iraq.

The 250-plus Bush supporters stood in the blazing sun for a few hours in a ditch across the street from the campsite. Most waved American flags and held signs, including "Help! I'm surrounded by America-hating idiots!" and "Thank you, Mr. President."

"I feel sorry for Cindy, but I think she went about this the wrong way," said Bill Garrett, of Dallas, a member of Protest Warrior, a group that frequently holds counter protests to anti-war rallies. "Somebody's got to stand up to them."
