SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Supporters of President Bush clashed with anti-war activists as they wound their way through California after rallying in the hometown of Cindy Sheehan, the mother who started a protest camp outside Bush’s Texas ranch.

Conservative activists and military families embarked on the tour Monday, calling it “You don’t speak for me, Cindy!” A verbal confrontation erupted when the caravan arrived in Sacramento and was met by anti-war protesters chanting for Bush to bring home the troops.

Sheehan supporter Dan Elliott, 71, confronted caravan members by waving a sign reading “Death is not support” and heckling one of the tour’s organizers as she addressed the crowd.

...The worm is turning. We who support the President are beginning to respond to this continual anti-America drone from the un-Patriotic Left. You cannot "support the troops but not the mission." The two are irreconcilable. Every protest against the war is a voice in support of our enemies. If you undermine our mission, you undermine the morale of the troops.
