The hate campaign<\/a> conducted by the War Party against<\/a> Cindy Sheehan has finally culminated in an attack<\/a> on “Camp Casey,” the site of a growing protest against the Iraq war in Crawford, Texas, according to this report<\/a>. Apparently, a man in a pick-up truck barreled<\/a> into Camp Casey, and, wielding a chain, knocked down<\/a> 150 road-side crosses<\/a> representing the Iraq war dead. The truck then suffered a blown-out tire, and law enforcement, we hear, have the man in custody.<\/p>\n

Sheehan has alerted<\/a> her supporters that the Secret Service is pressuring her to leave Crawford. According to this report<\/a>, Thursday morning the residents of Camp Casey were jolted awake by a fourteen-car convoy of Secret Service SUVs, as the drivers leaned on their horns as they passed the camp at high speed. Earlier, a local resident, Larry Mattlage<\/a>, fired his gun in the air in the vicinity, and, when asked why, replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re going to start doing our war and it’s going to be underneath the law. Whatever it takes.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

A more accurate description of the War Party’s agenda and methodology could hardly be articulated. <\/p>\n
