1. The thing about the women at the Obama rally is that they were supposedly big supporters,
so much so that they wanted to sit behind him, but when they were not allowed to sit behind him they then went to the media to complain. These were supporters?

9. when I was at Camp Casey
there was a woman who was crying and telling us all and Cindy that Saddam was terrible, something about all the bombs, and how we must not stop the war. With her was an AMerican who I noticed watched every word she said. (too closely) I was wandering around a bit later and there was an Iraqi man confronting her and the american who was supposed to be her husband. The Iraqi man who confronted them got them to admit that her journalist husband was with that white house propaganda news organization in the ME. Sorry, the name won't come to me. Seems like it was 3 letters. I knew it before I started to type it but memory has been a problem since an illness last year.

Anyway, my point was that she was just a white house prop. The news teams would swarm around her to get her sobbing story on how we must stay in Iraq, but no one but me and the Iraqi man knew she was definitely a plant.

I believe these Muslim women were also props.

Can we get pics of them? ID them? Hey maybe the one in Crawford was one of them.lol

11. I know that had it been me that I would have been hurt or disappointed depending
on how it was handled, but even then, if I was truly and Obama backer and supporter I would not have made a big stink about it and the last thing I would want is for it to get media attention. It's that aspect of the affair that does not sit right with me.

3. This is what I don't understand.
This attack has Rove's finger prints all over it.

5. And what about the "Loyalty Oaths" that attendees at Bush/Cheney events had to sign?
Anyone who refused to sign couldn't attend the event. That's considerable more serious than picking and chosing who gets the on-camera seats.

10. This is actually a good idea
While we will be exposed as fakes, it will stop them from being able to pull the same game. Of course we would have to hide our scarves until it all began or they won't even let us in.

Of course, they'll be let in...

12. The women weren't "prevented from attending." They were not offered seating in the
highly desirable photo-op section, which is always carefully controlled and usually hand-picked to provide the exact audience they're looking to project.

14. Of course not, but people are actually prevented from attending GOP events...
...but that isn't being discussed.

That's what I was wondering about.
