They are calling it a "false flag" to make the Tea Party look stupid. They don't realize the Teabaggers don't need any "false flag" to look stupid, they do just fine by themselves!
Operation American Spring falls flat: This is very disappointing, Texan says

Operation American Spring, billed as a Friday morning multi-million patriot march on Washington, D.C., to oust leadership from the nations capital from President Obama to House Speaker John Boeher has proven woefully below expectations.
Its a very dismal turnout, said Jackie Milton, 61, a Jacksboro, Texas, resident and the head of Texans for Operation American Spring, to The Washington Times.

I'm pretty sure it's why FOX News has pretty much passed on giving any coverage or promo time to the event.

(7,309 posts)It could be the weather which at one time was raining in DC and it is still only 68 degrees and only partly sunny.
But today is Friday and it seems they plan to continue through the weekend.
I remember when Occupy protesters actually came out in blizzard-like conditions. I'm not talking 68 degree weather. Partly sunny? I thought the "Patriots" were manly men.
Too fucking funny.

It is now right around 68 degrees, if not 70, and it's GORGEOUS outside!
No one showed up to your modern day KKKlan rally, so deal with that!

Now, FR isn't a place I frequent (or ever even load), so they might not have been saying that. Just that I heard this LONG before today. Like...maybe 2 days after it was first posted or something to that effect? Certainly everyone I know IRL thought it was.

(20,176 posts)They should count their blessings. They probably escaped notice...if 100 of them had shown up, DC MPD would have hauled them in under national security concerns to be questioned by federal agents from the alphabet-soup agencies. (FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, USPP, DHS, OCI, FPS, USSS, DHSOIG, HSI, ICE...when you're talking about overthrowing the government and fomenting an insurrection on US soil, everybody gets a crack at you. Also, I got bored...that's barely scratching the surface of US Federal LE agencies.)
Been there, done that...they'd like to avoid it. After one of my idiot friends liberated research animals in college from a US Army lab on campus, I had to spend the better part of 18 hours explaining that I had no idea he was an idiot and that he wouldn't have told me because he knew I'd have told them since my life's ambition was to be a US intelligence asset.

Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it the people that need to go to an event like this have jobs or other responsibilities. The progressives that attends rallies of the left have nothing else to do or get paid for attendance.

Warning: Many of the restroom locations listed above are actively frequented by homosexual men looking for anonymous gay sex. Beware of your surroundings at all times.
Naronos, Basically everything on the west side of Rock Creek Park in Washington D.C. is very Pro Pro Gay, so it is everywhere. Now I must tell you I do "NOT" know this from practical experience I must say!!! I have lived and worked in D.C. my whole life though and I do have some basic knowledge of the areas workings. Normally the D. C. gays will not bother you but some of them do look very funny! Just ignore them and they will leave you alone.

"

Bingo.
Also kinda like jury duty."
and those "jobs" the militias left to join Cliven would be . . . ?

(38,613 posts)And for some reason, having this on a weekend didn't cross anyone's mind?
im laughing so hard on some of this stuff im a mess, tears, the whole bit. . They had this on a friday because fat, white, teatardy, skinheaded,rednecks dont work . Even the Kroak brothers didnt bus them in for this one. Look how many have the fat hauling scooters, maybe it was a march for fat hauling scooters.

(22,308 posts)They put the word out and clearly tried to get people to attend. What difference would it have made if the person trying to organize a conservative rally was a liberal?
Even the excuses don't make sense.
And they wonder why we think they look stupid.

We were wondering the same thing this morning. Nobody heard of it until a day or two ago.

(4,119 posts)The Washington Liberals were so intimidated by the big bad Tea Baggers that they booked every hotel in Washington...so they wouldn't have any place to stay. Unbelievably stupid!
They organized to over throw the government...but it drizzled....wasn't sunny enough...geez!
They will never get a sizeable turnout to any event because people who NEED guns basically live in fear. They are too scared to do anything but sit behind their computers. They all agree to go...to look like big shots, but nobody shows up. Really pathetic bunch.
