Operation American Spring Day 4 - They still think they're winning

Just in case you were wondering. I know most of you blew these OAS idiots off days ago. We all had a big laugh on Friday, a few chuckles on Saturday and forgot about it by Sunday. I'm off work nursing a sprained ankle and have been spending far too much time glued to their Face Book pages than I should admit but, if anyone's interested, here's what I've learned
......................
...............I almost feel sorry for them, well, the ones who aren't calling for armed revolution, burning down the WH and other acts of violence. They remind me of a class of preschoolers being told there is no Santa Claus. Its. Just. Not. Possible! But not all are discouraged. All they need now is to take over the media. You see, Obama has blocked all their transmissions. Every time they lose a feed, a cell phone drops a call or somebody's laptop battery dies, it's Obama's fault. Heck, he was accused of seeding the clouds Friday morning so it would rain on the group.
Which brings me to the so-called media blackout. This is the most entertaining part. He (Obama) has this diabolical plan to black out media coverage so the ignorant masses remain unaware of the revolution. If only they knew what the patriots are doing on their behalf, they'd all rush to DC straightaway and run the tyrant out of town. The CW is the Obama administration has ordered all media, tv, cable, radio, not to cover the event or face sanctions. Even their favorite personalities (Beck most often but Limbaugh and Hannity are also mentioned) have abandoned them. Why aren't they interviewing people? Apparently Beck warned people not to attend on his broadcast Thursday. I'm guessing he was trying to save them the embarrassment but they were having none of that. At the time, they assumed, if he didn't organize it and get credit, he wasn't supporting it. Today Beck was suspiciously absent from his program (so they said. I don't listen so cannot confirm). Now they talk about how he's beefed up security because of threats against his family. But enough about him. The plan they're pushing now, especially for those who could not make the trip to DC, is to protest at, or even take over, the local tv or radio stations. That will get the people riled up (it would, but not in the way they think). They talk about how they've spammed Fox News (et al) comment boxes or their FB pages but when I check those pages, nothing about OAS. I'm guessing somebody is scrubbing them as quickly as they can be posted. Even Fox Nation has nothing on it, other than an article from the 16th about the poor turnout. And unless I've missed them, no statements from Cruz, Gowdy or the others they've called to lead them. I did read an undocumented claim that Palin supports them but I don't see it on her FB page (that was a painful experience). I'm not saying she didn't make a statement for OAS but a quick search on DuckDuckGo didn't reveal anything. I'm not going to waste any more time on her.
One last thing I found incredibly amusing and have to share. As you would expect, there are lots of misspelled words, but don't make fun of them. They do it on purpose to fool NSA. They actually posted, on a public FB page, how to misspell certain words or place 7s between the letters. Yes, they are telling people to spell it as O7S7A so NSA can't track them. I guess they think their cereal box decoder ring is more sophisticated than the NSA.

But when you have movements established SOLELY to oppose the color of the skin of the President, you are going to get deeply twisted and sick motherphuckers

(111,277 posts)of some of the self styled revolutionaries I knew in Boston in the late 60s and early 70s, the ones that the SDS and Weathermen thought were crackpots.
Their numbers were few, their plans unformed, their feelings of superiority and inevitability impregnable, their attitude of being capable of sweeping the whole country along to revolution hilarious, and their knowledge about most of this country and the people in it, nil.
They eventually either grew up or went to jail. I'm afraid Teabaggers will have a little more longevity since there is so much right wing money funding them as useful idiots. It's fun watching their extreme paranoia getting the better of them. I'll be able to laugh loud and long if that right wing money dries up.

I imagine that these facilities have been provided and are maintained by a supreme being rather than by tax dollars wasted by a useless oppressive government.

(90,714 posts)The stupid, it burns! Have none of these morons ever organized even a company picnic?!
Locally, when we have any kind of big public event like a festival, the organizers not only apply for usage permits for the parks but arrange for a row of portapotties to supplement the few permanent toilet facilities. Otherwise there would be lines a mile long outside the little building available for average daily use.
Usage permits in a tax supported public park? Sure, it's one way to control crowd flow for big events, otherwise half a dozen wedding groups might all show up at 10 am in the same place and collide with the birthday parties. And Washington DC is mega-times the size of my small city.
What was it Keith Olbermann used to say? These people are idiots!

Repeal Obamacare and replace it with..........

Whops!
Didn't do much better when they called themselves Neocons.
Iraq gots weapons of mass destruction, time for shock and awe..........
Whoops!
Other than providing for the 1% Teapublicans suck at planning.
These people do not govern because they cannot govern.

(18,186 posts)He's made millions off the fools, stoking their hatred and their desire to terrorize the nation.
Now his little monsters he helped create want to terrorize him. Funny how that works.
That ratfuck triggered my PTSD back when he was running his "Kill progressives" radio programs. I wished him this terror back then, but had no hope it might actually come true.
Sorry to say, but I hope he lives in fear for the rest of his lousy overpaid days.
And thanks for braving the sewers of American Spring Thinktanks. You are one tough cookie to slog through all that BS!
Loved the report!
