Looks like he intends to get out of his car and walk this time. So much for a protest. It won't get within a mile of the place.

Sincerely,

27. This is so Fourth Reich. Blccchhhh.........

[insane_cratic_gal]

2. We are bringing

AIR horns!! so bring your ear-plugs

we will be heard lol even if it's a unison explosion of air horns

[stella2cat]

5. LOL n/t

[GetTheRightVote]

8. I quess * will be bringing the War home to us, so we will go to war in DC

He is only setting himself up to look the fool that he really is, we will march the streets of DC and we will become the rioters that is necessary for this country to raise above the evilness that is *. We must not be afraid or worry much about * and his stupid use of our soldiers on the streets of DC. I feel sorry more for the soldiers who are now used by * because unlike us they are no longer free to riot in the streets as we will that day, just remember to bring your gas mask, lol, ha, ha, ha

[berni_mccoy]

12. Checklist of things to bring:

1 million people will need the following:

_X_ Gas-mask to withstand the onslaught of tear-gas and stench of corruption

_X_ Air-horn so as to be heard with

_X_ Flags (hung and waved upside down) to show how Bush has turned our country upside down

_X_ Warm clothing with extra-padding to withstand bitter cold and rubber bulletes

_X_ Camcorders to collect it all for historical records

_X_ 1 dozen eggs (can you imagine 12 million eggs hitting the streets of D.C.... that would be a sight to see)

[unpossibles]

16. I too thought of catapults hurling bladders of pigs blood....

and this:

_X_ Flags (hung and waved upside down) to show how Bush has turned our country upside down

an old symbol for a ship or a soldier in distress, if I am not mistaken.

I think this is typical and despicable - and I think he is doing this because he is scared of the true mandate of the people.

[Griffy]

20. BE IN DC on january 6th THATS THE DATE ..... plan now

we need to stand by congress if we want them to challenge the electors!! the 6th is the real day to protest!

[Pachamama]

24. Totally Agree - a protest Jan 6th is a lot more effective & important -

Remind the elected officials who put them there and that we are watching...they can't stop the people from gathering on the mall...when the Black vongressional caucus asks for ONE Senator to back an investigation, people on the mall in large numbers might give them courage....

Kerry might... :eyes:

[grasswire]

25. I don't think you...

...will get near the parade with air horns. They'll be frisking everyone. If you take them, you'll lose them to confiscation.

[stella2cat]

3. and they'll have time to learn how to goosestep for

das kommandant!

Faye said it very succinctly

[Doremus]

4. Who else marches in parades surrounded by soldiers?

Oh yeah, now there's a picture of what we've become -- your basic military state.

Good god.

[insane_cratic_gal]

6. blah

he's trying to make us look un-american commuinst loving.. anti jesus flame throwing liberals.

He'll tell the crowd we are protesting the troops. He knows the anti war rally is going to march on his wrinkly ass. Thus counter with soldiers

[KaliTracy]

26. welcome to 1984, -- just 20 years off....

[berni_mccoy]

7. Only a coward surrounds himself with soldiers

Bush is afraid of his own people.

A true hero, instead, surrounds himself with the people.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

9. Soon he's gonna need mercenaries as the army gets his scam on them!

Maybe they can provide some hillbilly armor for his ass, too.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. What a Chickenshit!

[jean]

11. who has long distance egg launchers or mini-catapults? My daughter was

at the last inauguration and her group (Close Up) was kept at bay - far far away. I wonder if they're allowing ANY Close Up high school groups to attend this time.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

13. I don't think I can watch victims supporting their chief abuser.

There are few things sicker than seeing the abused WORSHIP their abuser. It shows the raw bloody power of propaganda.

Will those troops be proud to be soon shooting the dogs that feed on the corpses they create in Iraq? Will the sound of brass bands be playing in their heads as the smell makes them ill?

The little fuhrer will hide behind his brainwashed troops to imply that protesting him was actually protesting the troops.

And that is so the protesters can be called dissidents and insurgents for when they call out the troops on our asses to do a 'Tienanmin Square' on us in 2005 to prevent civil war.

14. maybe they will teach the troops to march in goose-step N/T

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Maybe dissidents can get in after all...

19. Great Minds... heeehee we posted at the same time!

[KaliTracy]

17. What about the Turn Your Back Campaign? Wouldn't

that be something -- as hundreds of thousands of us take to the street to greet our president, and we all turn around as he passes??? I see the Repugs being quite hostile perhaps, but we would BE ON TV, not off in a "controlled" zone (please, someone pinch me and wake me up --)
What could the Military do? Push us to turn around to show respect? How could they do that, and not look like control freak a-holes?

Calm, controlled free speech might be something to consider.

[carolinalady]

18. So are we in the USA or USSR? I'm confused......

'course I'm blonde so maybe that is the reason.....
:shrug:

[JohnOneillsMemory]

21. Maybe he should walk in a victory parade in Fallujah?

With no body armor like so many of our troops.

Then get back in his unarmored Humvee to take some victory laps through the IED laced streets.

Shit-they lost the ground war and don't even use roads in Iraq anymore, just flying supplies now.

My first love's nephew was just pushed into signing up by his parents and I'm livid. We must stop the neo-cons from stealing our kids like vampires to turn them into killers.

[jsamuel]

22. thanks Mike, I knew I could count on you for a downer....

[KaliTracy]

23. probably have to sign a loyalty agreement

to be on the same street as he is *shudder*
