[noahmijo]

1. Funny Daily News article about the Fascist Walk...

3. i guess there "really should be limits on freedom" according to the feds.

oh the irony.

2. A "freedom walk" with 4' high fencing to corral the marchers! I saw

a tiny bit this morning on C-SPAN, before the march proper started-then C-SPAN went on to something else. Haven't seen anything else today on TV about it.

[AlCzervik]

4. were there the 10,000 marchers that the pentagon expected

or from what you saw was it less?

[dooner]

10. it looks like quite a few people, country and western fans looking

for a free concert?

They're playing music about FREEDOM at the start of the march. People are all wearing the free tee shirts and walking slowly as they funnel under a banner that says "America Supports YOU Freedom Walk"

I guess they are in the Pentagon parking lot.

19. From what I saw this morning, cameras were up too close to get a

sense of crowd size. Very quiet crowd, no talking or singing. Weird.

5. This freedom walk is so disgusting!

[noahmijo]

6. I know dammit but I wanna know how many actually showed up

and did they show the Bushvilles?

7. Wait until sept 24th. We'll show the freepers what a real walk for freedom

looks like.

8. it's replaying on CSPAN right now (west coast)

[Rainscents]

9. How big is the crowd?

[dooner]

11. no commentary so it's hard to say...

It looks to me like a pretty good sized crowd, but without an arial view, it's very hard to say.

[Rainscents]

15. You know, they can make 500 people look like they have 5,000 people.

It's all in the camera angel.

[Randypiper]

12. It took 15 min to empty the parking lot.

Some one guessed 3500 to 5000 people

[dooner]

17. Emptying parking lot by funneling through a relatively narrow gateway

at a very slow pace. The gateway looks maybe 2 car lanes wide... and people are walking very slowly.



I notice that so far MSM generally ignoring this Freedom Walk. (Maybe they didn't like the idea of being penned..)

[magnolia]

18. It looks like a small crowd.

They are trying to make it look big by focusing in close so you can't see emptiness all around. We've seen big crowds...Kerry rallys...this isn't it.

For some reason they are all wearing the same white T-shirt which makes it all look so...white. They look like the marching undead. A fun rally should be colorful.

[highplainsdem]

16. LOL - Did I see someone just flash the peace sign?

[SoCalDem]

13. a MILLION people showed up .... 'HUGH' crowds..

We would show the pictures, but the "zoom/pan" feature was inoperable this morning..so we'll show the tight shot of the president & his friends :)

14. Looks like there were several thousands.

"Several thousand marchers gathered this morning at the Pentagon for the Department of Defense sponsored "America Supports You Freedom March" to the National Mall."
