'It's a very dismal turnout'
quote:
If you missed last night’s show, you might not realize that today was intended to be a momentous day in the history of the United States — at least according to some strange right-wing activists with grandiose ambitions.
The initiative was called Operation American Spring — the American version of the Arab Spring — which according to organizers, was supposed to deploy 10 to 30 million Americans, all of whom would descend on our nation’s capital for an unprecedented protest, which would force America’s elected leaders from office, effectively overthrowing the government.
Operation American Spring, billed as a Friday morning multi-million patriot march on Washington, D.C., to oust leadership from the nation’s capital — from President Obama to House Speaker John Boehner — has proven woefully below expectations.
It’s 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. He said hopes were high when he arrived in Alexandria, Va., a day or so ago and found motels and hotels were sold out for 30 miles around.
Is the far right so lost in their own echo chamber that they truly prefer mass delusion to reality?
The other half of the demonstration was a group supporting Bundy -- the welfare cowboy that refuses to pay subsidized grazing fees.
And this is the great white "hope" -- the angry white men -- of the republican party?
