1. OK - got it. But now think about this

The anticipated crowd is known to be full of it. And you can only BE full of it by never passing any. Shoot - there'd be hundreds of porta-potties if it was a Democratic gathering!

[kelliekat44]

85. Other countries are protesting their govs because of the widening wealth gap. These folks are

protesting the government for trying to close the wealth gap.

[heaven05]

2. this reminds me of the KKK march in washinton d.c.

in 1925, that had 60000 clowns marching down Pennsylvania ave. touting their white supremacy, while wearing sheets and hoods. That is all this is, a white supremacist march/rally. All because of a AA POTUS who is living in that white house at 1600. geez. Will they ever learn? Nah, too ignorant. This country really has shown it's true stripes because of Barack Obama and I for one am glad the world gets to see what clowns we have residing in this kkkountry. Rally on, IDIOTS. Go ahead, SFB!

[Arkana]

19. Yeah, but at least the Klan could organize.

These armchair warriors won't even get out of their fucking La-Z-Boys for a cause they supposedly believe in.

[heaven05]

34. you're right about that

and smarter today than in that time. They're still here and pretty quiet about their plans. Those are the ones to keep an eye on. Both eyes.

[Kelvin Mace]

39. But I am guessing that they

will have less that 10% of that number show up.

10 million?

I would be prepared to pay them $1 for each person over 10,000, if they would pay me a penny for each guy under 10 million.

[heaven05]

42. good deal!!!!

I want half.

[billhicks76]

75. Exactly

Why else would they be do incensed at a President who is basically governing as a moderate conservative? The scary part is that these jokers are being manipulated by Big Money so some tycoons can take over like they did over a century ago. OCCUPY never got far because money corrupts and they didn't have any. It's always rich vs poor or money vs # of people. Unfortunately technology has tipped the balance against the people. These Tea Baggers are full of anger but I remember a lot of them cheering the cops during OCCUPY.

[Botany]

3. Bring em on ....... 200 tops at best

[Jamaal510]

10. "Obama is fast."

does that even mean?

[Botany]

13. "Obama is fast." .... WTF does that even mean?

My guess is that she is trying to say that the President is a "slick talkin' black man"
and that he got into power by putting one over on us by hiding the facts that he was
born in Kenya, raised as a "Muzz lamb," and he doesn't really love America the way
she loves America. ( I speak fluent teabagger ...... you know she just wants to shout
out that the President is a n****r)

BTW The operation "Fast and Furious," was started under W's administration not
President Obama but if you watch Fox and read the World Net Daily and think you
are getting real news then it all makes sense in her mind. I wonder if she and these
other patriots know that Obama can't run again in 2016?

[eppur_se_muova]

25. They're smarter than I thought ...

they spelled an eight-letter word correctly. And a foreign name at that.

[bvf]

35. Shouldn't really come as a surprise.

It's been so firmly rammed visually into their brains by Fox that by now it looks to them like a single letter of the alphabet.

[Mr.Bill]

49. And I'll be no one in that photo

could find it on a map.

[niyad]

61. yes, but ask them to locate it on a map!

[Pakid]

87. I just wonder how many time they had to take the picture

before they got it right?

[mdbl]

92. Only because someone else paid for the signs

of course, they did have to arrange them properly, so I'll give some credit to the organizers.

[snort]

65. She may have been trying to shout out

"The President is near"!

[calimary]

79. ROFL!!!!!!!

DING!!!!

[Blue Owl]

4. Begin the Benghazi

[2naSalit]

5. Doh!

Now that they know there will be porta-potty, more are likely to show!




(Wish the whole image would load! It's only the Pic of the Moment images that won't load anywhere on the site... and I've been using the "sync" prefix)

[AlbertCat]

6. Quick! While they're all in one place!

Drop the dome.

Deploy the sleeping gas!

Gather them up.

Fly them all to Somalia.



Think of the jobs this operation will create!!!!

[calimary]

80. I'll help!

[TRoN33]

7. I'm betting whoever owns this toilet booth would...

Charging the fees to tea partners for using it. Typical libertarian fashion at its finest.

[LuckyTheDog]

44. The dude with the gas generator will clean up...

... All the scooters and power chairs will need recharging!

[doxydad]

8. remindsme of the big TRUCKER PROTEST....

Where a grand total of 6 rednecks in semis bore down on D.C. I'm guessing maybe 500 lunatics will show, since the words out that there is a porta-potty.

[japple]

55. You mean this one?

[doxydad]

91. There ya go!

[ffr]

9. Can't be there.

There's an Ansel Adams: An American Perspective art collection show that day.

[Jamaal510]

11. Alright. Time to stink it up and turn it into Funky Friday!

Porta-potty-style!

[Initech]

12. Because you know how well these types of rallies are attended!

[yurbud]

14. I'm pissed they stole a good name

[Moonwalk]

17. Actually, I'm a little amazed they're using it. Do they really want to be copying Muslims?

I mean, if a liberal group had used that name, that's what all the conservatives would be saying.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. Cognitive dissonance

Deep down, most of them respect and are jealous of the hardcore religious punishment doled out by radical Islam to gays, women, and any group in general they don't like.

[gordianot]

90. Sharia law comes close to modern fundamentalist Christian identity beliefs on many fronts.

Find someone trying to pass anti Sharia law legislation odds are they would be willing to stone you in public for opposing them all the while they claim they are Christian.

[jmowreader]

53. No, no...they're copying the pro-democracy movement in Prague 1968

There are of course two big differences between what the Americans are trying to do and what the Czechs did: the Czech government, not some insignificant splinter group, created the Prague Spring; and the Soviet 20th Guards Army, who ended it (violently), no longer exists.

[Moonwalk]

57. Wow. If it's Prague 1968 rather than Arab Spring....

...then I need to re-think this. I mean, here I thought conservatives were anti-intellectual

[yurbud]

93. very true

[kairos12]

15. I see they are hauling in their headquarters.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Which side is "Place Order" and which side is "Pick Up"?

It needs more misspelled signage.

[Arkana]

18. If you scratch the "million" part off of "ten million", I'd believe it.

[TBF]

21. They planning to kidnap him with that port o potty? nt

[bvar22]

22. I am too.

Our only hope for the Working Class & Poor is for a true "American Spring".

[RoccoR5955]

23. So they are moving their front office

to a demonstration?
Notice how the teabagger front office attaches to the back end of their truck!

[chrisa]

24. Yes, 10 million people are going to show up on a work day. Brilliant.

They couldn't wait one day to do it on the weekend? Fail

[Turbineguy]

27. It's not a work day when

you're collecting SS checks.

[freshwest]

78. Nailed it. Or a nice pension like Duh Kernel is probably getting. What's he 'waiting' for, Gidot?

[MADem]

26. The question, though, is this: Will they have a GUARD on those porta-potties, to prevent

"Democratic" or "tourist" shit from hitting the pan, as it were?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!

[randys1]

28. add this and they are all set

[link:|

[LuckyTheDog]

45. The Viagra concession would be worth a fortune. (nt)

[VanillaRhapsody]

51. Actually the Depends stand will have the longest lines...

[Arugula Latte]

29. Fox News will show a graph of the turnout

On the top of the y axis it will say "10 people." On the bottom it will say "10 million people." On the left of the x axis it will say "predicted turnout." On the right it will say "actual turnout." Therefore, the actual turnout bar will be higher than the predicted turnout graph.

[AleksS]

30. The big question I'm waiting for though

The big question I'm waiting for though is how this gets played in the media.

Which camera angles do we see? Close ups of 1-2 folks, with the background cleverly obscured, and captions saying "Thousands gathered today?"

Or will we actually get to see the wide angle shot of the whole 173 angry white dudes that managed to pry their overweight backsides out of the butt-shaped-depressions in their lazy-boys to get down to DC to rail against the black guy who had the gall to get elected president....twice!

I know what I'm expecting. Sadly.

5 RW-ers gather, and it's a "mass grassroots movement"
100,000 of us get together to protest the Iraq War, and it's ".....crickets......crickets....."

[House of Roberts]

31. Poor man's TARDIS.

They so want to go back in time.

[SCVDem]

32. Don't these assclowns have a job?

Or are they all takers of the governments largess?

[ForHonestyandTruth]

33. Heavy Downpours Expected

The forecast looks like heavy downpours are expected tomorrow, which will be sure to drown out the voices of the few wackos that show up. I hope they bring a raft with them or they'll have to hold on to that port a potty not to get completely washed away.

[Jim Lane]

43. Let's ask Pat Robertson if that's God's judgment on the demonstrators.

As I understand from his other pronouncements, God does manipulate the weather for political reasons. If Operation American Spring gets rained on, surely that's a sign.

[santamargarita]

58. It will definitely be raining bullshit!

[kelliekat44]

74. This is predicted from near DC Most will have to come through this area to get to DC

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VA HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WARNING FOR
THE SENECA CREEK AT DAWSONVILLE.
* FROM FRIDAY MORNING UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING.
* AT 11 PM THURSDAY THE STAGE WAS 4.2 FEET AND RISING.

[calimary]

81. Welcome to DU, ForHonestyandTruth!

Glad you're here! Uh-oh, somebody's gonna rain on their parade? Boo-hoo. But then again, we already knew this bunch is all wet.

[Garion_55]

36. its supposed to be pouring rain here all morning too

least that will give some of them a bath.

[stuckinodi]

37. Since when do revolutions have porta potties??? n/t

[calimary]

82. Welcome to DU, stuckinodi!

Good to have you with us! Hope they didn't over-order. I'd expect there to be a few hundred on hand for this silly little stunt - if that.

[Contrary1]

38. How many does that suite sleep? n/m

[get the red out]

40. That porta-potty is appropriate

Because the dozen that show up will all be full of shit.

[LuckyTheDog]

41. James Melton: It's springtime for crazy in Washington

Political pundits are already talking about the presidential election in 2016. But for the organizers of Operation American Spring (OAS), a protest scheduled for later this week on the National Mall in Washington, that’s too long to wait for change. They want a revolution – a real one – and they want it now.

OAS, a collection of tea party, militia and far-right “patriot movement” types, will fail miserably. But its very existence shows how dysfunctional and disconnected from reality our political discourse has become.

The mad-as-hell supporters of OAS look at America and see a nation living under the boot of tyranny – communist tyranny that has destroyed freedom as we used to know it. Elections aren’t the solution, they say, because the “constitutional crisis” is too great. They are demanding nothing less than the immediate overthrow of the United States government.

Of course, OAS organizers don’t put it that way. They insist their goal is to peacefully “restore the republic” by ripping it away from plotters who have committed intolerable crimes against the U.S. Constitution and the people. In what they say will be a peaceful, unarmed rally, OAS hopes to put millions of people in the street in an action modeled after the mass protests that toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

[tanyev]

46. BYOP?

[mysuzuki2]

47. They claim to want to "restore the constitution"

by violently overthrowing a constitutionally elected president? Did these fuckers EVER pay attention in HS Am History class?

[lunasun]

72. +1 !! exactly

[obxhead]

84. I doubt many of them made it to HS

Let alone through it.

[951-Riverside]

48. Its going to be cold, wet and they decided to do this on a Friday

HAHAHA

They'll be lucky if 30 people showed up.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

50. It's supposed to be pissing all day in DC tomorrow

When only 200 of the expected 10 million show up tomorrow, does anybody suppose they will pause for even a second to wonder if God is really on their side in this?

[grahamhgreen]

52. Why do all their rallies get press?

[Quasimodem]

54. Re: Image

One port-a-potty, no waiting.

[geretogo]

56. Ten million people is plenty to round up all the Rethuglicans on Capital hill and put them in hand

cuffs and leg irons , put them on trial for Treason and Sedition and then lock them up in Guantanamo
for life .

[mountain grammy]

59. This is from their website:

Concept of Operations:
Phase 1 - Field millions, as many as ten million, patriots who will assemble in a peaceful, non-violent, physically unarmed (Spiritually/Constitutionally armed), display of unswerving loyalty to the US Constitution and against the incumbent government leadership in Washington D.C., with the mission to replace with law abiding leadership. Go full-bore, no looking back, steadfast in the mission.

Phase 2 - One million or more of the assembled 10 million must be prepared to stay in D.C. as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office.
Consistent with the US Constitution, as required, the U.S. Congress will take appropriate action, execute appropriate legislation, deal with vacancies, or U.S. States will appoint replacements for positions vacated consistent with established constitutional requirements.

Phase 3 - Those with the principles of a West, Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Lee, DeMint, Paul, Gov Walker, Sessions, Gowdy, Jordan, should comprise a tribunal and assume positions of authority to convene investigations, recommend appropriate charges against politicians and government employees to the new U.S. Attorney General appointed by the new President.

No worries if Gowdy doody is on the job.

[pam4water]

60. Someone stirred these guys up to distract from the Net Neutrality Vote.

[Blue Owl]

62. Food Truck

n/t

[The Wizard]

63. What this movement needs

is an outbreak of dysentery. Oh boy, they're making a case for mass shock treatments.

[Javaman]

64. I know this is a massive stretch, but I'm going to predict that...

this colossal display of gross halfwittery will be incredibly under attended.

anyone want to take that bet?

[kelliekat44]

70. Let the storms begin! nt

[chillfactor]

66. these people are idiots....

plain and simple.....they will be lucky if 100 people show up.....let alone millions

[gejohnston]

67. I don't even see tens let alone tens of millions

there would be reports of a bunch of people showing up on planes, buses, etc and hotels would be filling up.

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

68. any moment FOX NEWS will have footage freeways full of patriots headed there !

[kelliekat44]

69. It is really sad to see this because it's not about anything but hate. nt

[pacalo]

71. Rachel Maddow tagged those port-o-potties as "portable prisons".

[kelliekat44]

73. 99% of these folks have never read the Constitution or passed a Civics test.

This is the most disgusting protest to ever come to DC in my lifetime. These are not patriots...they are American Taliban and if they break the law they should be locked up.

[tofuandbeer]

76. This stinks of Koch

As I see this resurgence of Benghazi, and the other antics popping up on the right, I keep thinking this is all part of that GOP think tank they had in Georgia not too long ago.

It's amazing how these billionaires can get these low/middle income folks to do their dirty work. Again, this stinks of the Koch brothers.

[Seedersandleechers]

77. Check out their Facebook page

There are some funny comments.


https://www.facebook.com/OperationAmericanSpring.Target.Washington.DC

[technotwit]

83. I think they mispelled the name of their group..

Judging from the picture, I think it's a meeting of "Wee the people". waiting for their trickle down economics.

[dotymed]

86. Do these "people" have demands

Last edited Fri May 16, 2014, 07:58 AM - Edit history (1)

or a platform that they have published/posted anywhere? I was just wondering.
IF they are members of the lower 80% of earners or survivors they would be calling for equal wealth distribution, progressive taxation, etc.
Do they have ANY demands except "get the black man out of the white house?" I really want to know if they have any platform.

[redstatebluegirl]

88. When does free speech end and treason begin?

Since the tea party and patriot movement began I have wondered how they can call for the overthrow of the government and not be guilty of treason. This would include the Koch brothers who fund these things and keep the masses up in arms. To me when you threaten to physically oust the President, Vice President and the Speaker of the House you have gone beyond free speech.

I agree they will not have anywhere near 10 million, 100 is more like it.

[workinclasszero]

89. This is going to be a replay of..

Last edited Fri May 16, 2014, 10:48 AM - Edit history (1)

that old freeper rally that had way more porta-potties than participants.

These traitorous delusional dinosaurs are heading into extinction and I thank God for that.

Watch out for the wave of electric scooters and walkers coming for yah President Obama!
