What's this I hear about military troops being in D.C. on January 20th?!

[NightTrain]

I actually heard this on the radio on Monday but just now remembered it. It may have been on "Free Speech Radio News," but I unfortunately can't recall.

The gist of the story was that the Bush Junta plans to have thousands of soldiers in the streets of D.C. on Inauguration Day, along with thousands of police officers being flown in from all over the country. Sounds like they realize how many people hate their guts.

Welcome to Dubya's America: The Sequel! :scared:

1. Good.

Let him turn the town into a police state and let the country see it.

[Dude_CalmDown]

12. AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA - "let the country see it" - HAHAHAHA

I almost thought you were serious. Too Funny man - too damn funny! And if you don't mind entertaining me even further, would you please tell me which channel the country will be watching this on.

2. Oh yeah, Chimpy's scared of Americans without loyalty oaths.

Didn't you know?

3. I heard it on Democracy Now! earlier today.

I thought they had a MANDATE, that he was POPULAR. What is he afraid of? Bring it on?

8. A very excellent point

there are as many anomalies in this administration as were in the election itself.

5. So will they be goose-stepping past the White House?

Maybe have tank battalions clanking down Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the reviewing stands?

6. WTF???

This must be a first, I don't think this was even done during the CIVIL WAR!!! Gods help us, as dangerous as it sounds, we REALLY should get protesters out to get attention to that.

11. I read they haven't done it since 1972.

But that it wasn't too uncommon before that.

I don't remember the specifics of the article.

7. They'll make sure he can walk the street this time....

Sadly, I fear those of us with eggs, pretzels, or other tokens of homage will be unable to get within throwing range. So much for expressing opposition to the regime in DC in January.

9. But would they suspect that a mother with toddler

in tow would remove a full diaper from her progeny and pitch it at George?

Or 100 mothers, for that matter?

[RevCheesehead]

10. why, is something happening in January?

I'm thinking of descending upon Philadelphia, the birthplace of democracy. Let the REAL party begin!!!

[jmatthan]

13. Now I understand the meaning of the word "MANDATE"!!

eom

14. If we had a propaganda system like them, we could.......

make them think we were going to have 500,000 show up and they would have three divisions there to fight us.....and then no one would show up...They would look like fascist pigs.
