MSM: Typical misleading caption
http://cdn.news.aol.com/aolnews_photos/06/00/20050827213609990001
Pro-Bush supporters gathered across the street from Sheehan's anti-war group. Overall, several thousand people descended on Bush's adopted hometown.

Notice that the caption makes it sound as though there were also thousands of anti-Sheehan protestors there, instead of thosuands at Camp Casey protesting Bush's war and a scattered handful of anti-Sheehan protesters, which is what really happened.

2. is it me, or do their signs always seem pretty uninspired?
they generally amount to "Bush is always right, shut the hell up, commie!" instead of any good argument as to why they support the Asshat in Chief.
