Clearly, Obama made it rain in order to shut down #OperationAmericanSpring

But the sad thing is that these couple of hundred right-wing, gun nutbags are holding America hostage through House representation, and may have the Senate soon.

How many of these clever Tweeters will make it to the polls this Fall?

Does a group of seditious morons, incapable of dealing w/reality, really think they're going to start an uprising? #OperationAmericanSpring

If you’re not making fun of ridiculous protest movements, you’re not doing Twitter right. #OperationAmericanSpring

Is #OperationAmericanSpring a false flag to distract us from #Benghazi or is it the other way around? I forgot.

I can’t wait to tell my grandchildren about the day tens of … people … showed up to drive Obama from office. #OperationAmericanSpring

I'd say #OperationAmericanSpring is a success - it's spring and we're in America, right? THANKS OBAMA!

But the real question is, where are all these angry old men going to pee every half hour? #OperationAmericanSpring

If the American Spring is supposed to form up in front of the old Smithsonian building, they are not yet visible. We can monitor their assemblage from this camera at the top of the Washington Monument:

You can see the Smithsonian "Castle" on the right, the fourth building.

ETA - Dang, that shot is an archival shot. Live view only shows the Washington Monument restoration: http://www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washingtonmonument/index.php

isn't showing the event itself, just some guy talking about it?

Could it be there are not 10,000,000 people there?

...and not in a sad way. I can imagine a particular uncle of mine making that -exact- same statement.

Oh I can't wait until next weekend, the cookout should be -amazing-. I'll have to try really hard not to get thrown out of my own family's house!

Anyone got a Lip Clip I can borrow?
