Crawford, Texas Upset With Sheehan's Purchase - AP\MSNBC

CRAWFORD, Texas - Like many folks in President Bush’s adopted hometown, 83-year-old Robert Westerfield isn’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat for the town’s newest resident: War protester Cindy Sheehan.

“I wish she’d stay away. Crawford’s a Republican town, and she’s a dumb Democrat,” Westerfield, a lifelong Crawford resident, said Friday while sitting on a bench outside a gas station on Main Street.

Oh Bob... I'm pretty sure you used to be a Democrat once upon a time in your life. That is, until they passed the Voting Rights Act, and the only political party that would accept you and your pointy little white head and white hat, was the Republican Party!

So Bob... BITE ME!

:evilgrin:

1. If I had some money to burn, I'd buy some land there.

Hell, if anybody else has some to fork out---I'd say do it. No sense in republicans complaining about only one "dumb Democrat" when there are so many others to choose from.

[karlrschneider]

2. Fuck Robert Westerfield.

:grr:

[Aviation Pro]

3. Bet you a fat man to a skinny mule that good ole Bob....

...never served a fucking day in his life in uniform. Bet you he somehow finagled a 4H out of the draft board back in the day when he was a strapping 18 year old (1941). Yeah, ole Bob is a typical Republican, in other words, a coward.

[Liberal In Texas]

7. That would be 4F. 4H is a youth organization with emphasis on agriculture.

4. awwwwwww (nt)

[uppityperson]

5. I like this line from article, guess publishing nonsupporters sells more

Sheehan said when the camp is no longer needed, she plans to donate the land to the city for a park to be named Spc. Casey Sheehan Memorial Peace Park. Sheehan said it would have a playground, because “Casey loved children and peace.”

14. That is really Nice!

Hope the imbeciles grow up by then so the forseeable vandalism doesn't occur!

[earth mom]

6. Looks like a Vietnam Vet /Katrina victim helped get the land.

Payback's a b*tch, ain't it Dubbbya?! :rofl:

"Gerry Fonseca, a Vietnam veteran who attended the protests in August and April, returned to Crawford in June to help the group look for property.

Land wasn't sold to Sheehan herself
Fonseca said he doubts that any Crawford landowner would have sold to Sheehan or other protesters, so he didn’t reveal his connection. Fonseca, who lost his Slidell, La., home in Hurricane Katrina, told sellers about that part of his life and that he wanted to build.

He bought the $52,500 lot in mid-July, using insurance money that Sheehan received after her oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004."

LOVE IT! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

11. That is priceless. If anyone knows how to contact that guy

please DO NOT post it here.

But if you have his info, PM me, I'd like to drop him a line.

[pberq]

15. More power to Gerry! Great work

[ComerPerro]

8. Anyone who thinks of Crawford as Bush's "hometown" is an idiot anyway

BushBots WANT to be lied to

Besides, he's only been there, what, six years longer than her?

[davidwparker]

9. If Cindy can stand the stench of Crawford, TX then more power to her.

There's a whole lotta redneck down there.

Stay in the chimp's face, Cindy.

[Totallybushed]

10. I think it's

a great thing what Cindy is doing.

why souldn't he have to look at her every day for the rest of his life?

[Cha]

12. Oh yeah? How come the Crawford

newspaper(forget the name) endorsed Kerry?

Fucking bushrepukes will follow him into that special Hell they reserve for Perpetrators of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity and just really really low intelligence.

20. Earthquakes: Global Warming or HAARP? Who writes that? Art Bell? n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

28. Did you read it?

The incidence of historic worldwide earthquakes seems to be increasing, especially since 2002.

At least according to statistics rendered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

[Ian David]

30. Yes. It's fucking stupid...

Whether earthquakes are tied to global warming, or to the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) which some scientists say is utilized by the military to drastically alter weather patterns in specific areas of the world with the ability to cause droughts and hurricanes, the advent of the increased numbers is worthy of concern and of additional study.

Idiots don't help our cause when they agree with us-- they just make the rest of us look dumb by association.

[City Lights]

17. Well Bob ol boy, Cindy Sheehan has more smarts in her little

finger than in the all the pea-brained heads in your town combined. It sure is funny that cut-and-run george abruptly ended his vacation upon learning that Cindy was on her way.

[Aristus]

18. That land is Cindy Sheehan's PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Why do you hate private property, scumbag repuke? Are you some kind of Communist? Huh? You think Ms. Sheehan shouldn't be allowed to buy property anywhere she wants? Why do you hate America? Why are you giving aid and comfort to the terrorists? :rant::sarcasm:

B-)

[Ian David]

21. I think Cindy should "explore" it for oil first...

...churn-up a whole lot of dust and fumes.

[ThingsGottaChange]

19. "while sitting on a bench outside a gas station on Main Street."

That pretty much sums it all up, doesn't it? Wonder is he was chawin' some terbacky, too.

[Swamp Rat]

22. So, Bob Boudelang don't like them libruls!

:rofl: Does this inbred think he owns all of Crawford? :eyes:

[lumpy]

23. Soon the harrassment begins.

Pissed off pissantes love to pull 'pranks'.

[eeltip]

24. Well, she DID lie and defraud to buy it.

She shouldn't have lied; that's not right. Better she should have told the truth about who she was and sued them for discrimination if they refused to sell to her.

[maveric]

26. Would have to handle it differently than anyone else would?

Private citizen buying land?
How exactly did she lie?

[eeltip]

29. She did not tell them who she was.

[maveric]

31. And she was under no obligation to do so.

Are the rules different for Cindy Sheehan?

[greguganus]

32. So what law did she break? n/t

[uppityperson]

33. she didn't have to.

[greenbriar]

37. hope you enjoy your short stay

:)

[OneTwentyoNine]

27. Oh brother.......5-4-3-2 nt

[Kali]

34. Excuse me?

do you have a clue?

[blogslut]

35. you mean, like lying about

being a cowboy and buying a fake ranch? hmmmm...now who would do a thing like that...let me think

[Freedom_Aflaim]

36. Thats not discrimination

Well not illegal discrimination anyway.

You can refuse to sell land to anyone you choose, so long as you are not doing because of race, religion, sex, ethinicity, familial status or national origin.

If you want to refuse to sell to lawyers, republicans or suv owners, its perfectly legal.

She didn commit fraud as long as the money used to buy it was real.

The fact that she used a middle man to broker the deal was just smart, and violates no law whatsoever.

[niyad]

39. welcome to DU--and get a grip-- there is no law against having a front

person engage in a real estate sale--celebs, for example, do it all the time. do you have a problem with THAT? if not, then you are being a hypocrite.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. I love how Cindy gets their undies in a twist

Small minded twits are so fun to poke with sticks. :evilgrin:

[TMA1]

38. lol

He he, ahh that is sweet. I love this kind of stuff. Cindy, keep making things as difficult as possible for the administration!

[niyad]

40. and a big welcome to DU!!!
