From Think Progress:
The Justice for Benghazi rally was meant to be a joint effort between the Patriots4America and Special Operations Speak two groups that have for months now been hammering establishment Republicans for what they see as not enough action to unveil what really happened in Benghazi, Libya last year. Special Operations Speak was behind a series of ads and petitions demanding that Speaker of the House John Boehner appoint a special committee to investigate the Obama administration cover-up of the attack and the deaths of four Americans including Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. According to organizers, as many as 5,000 people were expected to show up on the Hill and make their voices heard.
...
Once the rally finally got under way, the true number of those present was revealed, showing themselves to be less than a hundred total. That didnt stop the speakers from trying to get the crowd riled up, asking them what they thought of claims that Benghazi was a phony scandal. Obamas a phony president! one crowd member yelled back in response, his lone voice highlighting just how quiet what was meant to be a massive rally was.
