Man, talk about disrespecting the troops...not only the troops, the ones who died in the service of their country. Someone driving a pickup truck mowed down a row of crosses that were along the side of the road in Crawford. Each cross bore the name of a soldier killed in Iraq.
I saw the video of the vandalism on NBC this morning during the Today Show. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly. I think for a lot of these guys, it's hard to see a woman taking a strong stand.
But knocking over the crosses honoring dead soldiers? I want to see O'Reilly, Drudge and Malkin defend that. Here's the coverage from CBS/AP:
Cindy Sheehan — the mother who's camped out near Crawford, Texas, demanding to speak with President Bush about her GI son who died in Iraq — is continuing her vigil but the makeshift memorial erected at her campsite has taken a hit.
The campsite has close to a thousand white crosses, each representing GIs who, like Sheehan's son Casey, were killed in Iraq.
While Sheehan has gotten a lot of support in her vigil, and has been joined by dozens of sympathizers, she's also sparked some opposition.
Monday night, a pickup truck tore through the rows of white crosses.
The crosses stretched along the road at the Crawford, Texas, camp, bore the names of fallen U.S. soldiers. No one was hurt.
