Texas Man Mows Over Crosses for Slain Soldiers

From the NY Times:

"Crawford, Tex. - Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq who has set up a vigil near President Bush's ranch, said Tuesday that she was "very disturbed" that a local resident had mowed down hundreds of small crosses bearing the names of other dead American soldiers, and that her now 10-day protest was "only the beginning" of what she described as a growing national movement to bring all American men and women home from the war."

I remember the grand ole days when it was the liberals that were the crazies spouting conspiracy theories and what not. But seriouisly, this is a demonstration of just how severe the schism is in America that a mother whose son was slain in Iraq camped out near a vacationing President Bush would have her memorial of white crosses for fallen U.S. Soldiers mowed down by a man in a pickup truck.
