see if they send General Myers out torch them.

8. NFL football fans going to the Redskins game will be counted as
marchers. Another stroke of genius from Karl Rove and the Ministry of Truth.

Freedom Walk, Redskins, Nationals Promise to Snarl Traffic
RSS Feeds From ABC 7 Saturday September 10, 2005 3:45pm
Washington (AP) - It's going to be tough to get around town on Sunday.

The Pentagon Freedom Walk and other 9-11 memorial activities are expected to draw more than 15,000 people to Arlington and downtown. And the Redskins (website - news) and Nationals have home games - both starting at about one p.m.

That will bring about 90,000 people to Fed-Ex Field and 25,000 more to RFK Stadium.

Metro says it will run nearly as many cars as it does on weekdays, with extra trains at the end of both games.

Metro will charge 25 dollars for parking in the Morgan Boulevard and Largo Town Center station lots, unless your SmarTrip card shows you've taken a train ride. Parking at Landover Mall is now 20 dollars.

Several road will also be closed for from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the 9-11 activities, including the northbound ramp from George Washington Memorial Parkway to Memorial Circle, and stretches of Independence Avenue.

9. Donald Rumsfeld="Hunk"
Department of Defense materials handed to the press said that the Pentagon organized Sunday's event to answer citizens' "call to action" for a meaningful way to mark the day, and to say thanks to soldiers. It was difficult to tell how many people marched. Organizers had said they expected 3,000 to 10,000 people; one event press person said 17,000 people were there.

Marchers carried American flags and donned free, white "Freedom Walk" T-shirts, and carried bottled water under the hot sun. The event had most of the elements of a real grass-roots march, though it was hard to escape a surreal feeling of being at a pep rally organized by the government to support, well, the government.

Few marches in Washington, for example, feature people like Rumsfeld as a star, which gave the scene a distinct air of propaganda. A master of ceremonies announced from the stage when he arrived, "Our defense secretary is in the house!"

Black introduced Rumsfeld by saying that his own niece thinks Rumsfeld is "a hunk." Rumsfeld took the microphone to rally the crowd to march again next year. "This is our first March for Freedom and by the size of the crowd, I suspect it will not be the last," he said. Department of Defense materials said organizers will try to hold marches next year in all 50 states.

7. Take photos, anyone who marches is
1). Paid (we can compare with those faux town hall actors)
2). College Rethuglicon
3). DOD Staff


In any case, let's just call it what it is, the Hitler Youth March, no?
