"WAVE TO THEM! LET THEM KNOW YOU LOVE AMERICA!"

[Bluebear]

That's what Big Brother is shouting over the microphone. "God bless America! God bless our President!"

This is unreal.

[LSparkle]

1. This is Nuremberg all over again

Never in my wildest dreams did I think it'd be this bad ...

[ewagner]

2. Too, too Big Brotherish

to be real...but wait, it IS REAL!!!!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. I don't remember this kin of cheerleading from any other

president's inauguration.

Did Bushboy have this in 2001 as well? I attended a counter inauguration.

Were those smoke bombs?

[XNASA]

3. This is the most Orwellian thing I've ever seen on TV.

Well, either this or Jessica Simpson. I can't decide which.

[Bluebear]

19. lol

[CottonBear]

dupe post. oops. delete

[CottonBear]

4. Creepy. Has this ever been done before?

This is so Soviet Union 1970's.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The only thing missing is a bunch of tanks and missiles.

But I guess those are all in Iraq..

[Kolesar]

16. The B-2 Bombers will fly over the reviewing stand (honest)

they have been drilling over DC for a few days

[Bluebear]

23. Well that's appropriate.

The War President and all. :puke:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I thought he said "Wave to them, let them know you LOVE America."

Which is even worse. So then I mooned my teevee, then turned off the sound so I can listen to AAR.

[Bluebear]

12. Corrected. Either version is creepy :)

[annabanana]

24. You are right.

That is EXACTLY what he said. I almost fell off my chair.

[Bluebear]

6. I know! This is like frigging Nazi Germany. Its really scary.

:scared:

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. I've never heard of this happening at any other Inaguration...

very creepy!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

8. Salem's Lot, the movie...

David Soul agrees to make a deal with the devil. The devil's lackey, James Mason, says menacingly to David Soul, "FACE THE MASTER."

For anyone that was unable to watch today's coronation on TV, rent "Salem's Lot" on the way home tonight. You'll see it all.

:toast:

10. Un. Freaking. Believable.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. God. This is surreal and scary. There isn't any love on that street

for that man. The megaphone guy, trying to pep up the crowd is just stalinesque. If there are any pro-Bush sections, they are incredibly sparse. It looks like there are more people giving him a thumbs down, than waving.

[underpants]

14. Here is what *I*could hear on C-Span

I can't hear it too well but it was something about "13 States get ready"

The really weird part was when he clearly said "There is President Bush...WAVE to PResident Bush...PResident Bush is waving back at you right now....(then of course there was the)God Bless America and God Bless the PResident of the United States"

What was THAT?

[Kolesar]

17. 13th street ... eom

[roenyc]

15. UM i just noticed the guys in the brown raincoats

sprinkled among the others and the sound of the loud speaker totally freaked me out! more then Orwellian, we are past that. damn its like an old movie out of the 50's. i am waiting for the train to roll up and collect the offenders in the pens and roll them off for reprograming.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. I'd love to see footage of earlier inaugural parades

I doubt that any of them had either as many protestors or those creepy loudspeaker admonitions.

[Bluebear]

21. I don't remember any PA's EVER

Rove must have determined that the crowd must be exhorted.

[Lydia Guerra]

20. Okay - were you all there? Will you post any photos?

I'd love to see photos ...

[Bluebear]

22. No, we're watching it all on Pravda

:puke:

[AlbertoB]

25. Scary Shit

Its almost like all the Repukes live in theyre own little world, actually its more like a cult. :crazy:

[Bluebear]

26. A big first post welcome to you!

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. BINGO, it IS a cult

[adigal]

28. Wave and goosestep when Bushie looks at you

[Bluebear]

29. A fascist theocratic state. USA 1776-2000

[newyawker99]

36. Hi AlbertoB!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

30. U.S.A: (July 4, 1776 - December 12, 2000)

This whole thing is looking like the Nuremberg Rally!

:scared:

[underpants]

[sabra]

32. LOL! n/t

[Bluebear]

33. Hey, that Iraqi accent comes & goes on him!

LOL

[UdoKier]

34. The only way to show love for America in the presence of Bush...

Would be to hurl projectiles and curses at his limo.

What a piece of shit.
