Well, I sure hope that Washington, DC is ready for their American Spring:

[MineralMan]

American Spring is on its way to DC to overthrow the government, and in their numbers, too. Led by a retired Colonel who once worked at the NSA building while in the Army, they're predicting anywhere from 10 to 30 million TRVE PATRIUTS to arrive in DC and take over the city. When? This very Friday, May 18. It's all on the hush-hush, apparently, since it's barely making any news, and its own website is running on a very, very tight budget. But, still, their stealth army of carefully camouflaged vehicles is on its way, bringing anywhere from 10 to 30 million people to the nations Capital. I'm thinking it will be closer to 10 people than to 30 million, though. Here are some photos of the vehicles in this massive convoy:






Is DC ready for the tens of people who will show up to overthrow the elected government of the USA? Who can say? I know that I'm going to be watching the live feed of this coupe on Friday.

1. There are dozens of us!

Dozens!

[MineralMan]

2. I sure hope they order enough porta potties.

'Cause these folks are certainly full of shit.

[msanthrope]

10. Somebody oughta contact Kristinn for the inside poop on that. nt

[SwankyXomb]

13. A sign that should be hung on the inside doors of those porta potties

"A Liberal Muslim Socialist Tyrant Had Gay Sex Right Where You're Sitting"

[AceAcme]

5. Now wait just a darn minute. My allergies are acting up again, or something

So the Revulushun will have to carry on with duzens -1. But i gnow U can do it wit out me. Gnow that I will be watching on teeVee and, um, a really suphorting U and stuff.

3. Hope they've rented enough Porta-Potties.

30 million patriots are gonna need a lot of Porta-Potties.

[MineralMan]

4. GMTA, apparently...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Yup. It's natural though - when you think of that crowd

all you can think of is shit.

[RKP5637]

7. Shit with wheels! n/t

[shenmue]

8. This is just awesome

Crazy people who write stuff on trucks. Yeah!

[Mr_Harshaw]

9. Any moment now....

[JHB]

11. Apparently, to "stop the insanity" all one needs is jackboots...

But I don't think they've figured out that what they're actually up against is the two-different-word version...




Talk about your obstructed views!

[FSogol]

12. LOL: A few hours of overheating in traffic on the 14th st Bridge and those trucks will have to be

towed away.

14. If the FreeRepublic threads are an indication the turnout will be a joke

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3144134/posts

This was the post with the most replies (about 30). There were a few others that had about 15 replies each (probably the same group of people on both).

If one of the premiere websites for this type of bat-shit nuttery can't generate more enthusiasm for the event than that you might as well call it a day.

[MineralMan]

19. The official site of this OAS group has a discussion forum,

but nobody's there, really. Apparently, this is not gaining momentum, two days before it is supposed to happen.

I think they need to cancel the porta-potty order.

It ain't happening.

Check it out:

http://operationamericanspring.org/

This is the official website.

Ain't nobody coming, as far as I can see.

[Mike Daniels]

21. I think phase 2 isn't likely to happen regardless of how few/many turn out

from the main site - 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".


Yeah, good luck getting your non-millionaire supporters to stretch their savings out more than week at normal DC hotel rates before they give up and go home.

[MineralMan]

22. I don't think anyone will even notice Phase 1.

DC is busy on Fridays. A bunch of morons will hardly stand out at all, even if they are holding misspelled signs.

And, as you say, they won't be able to afford hotels, food, or anything else. If they try to drive into DC, they won't be able to afford parking, assuming they can find an open spot.

This is just another ill-conceived bit of nonsense that has no chance of drawing a huge crowd. Now, Obama's first inauguration? That brought folks into town, for sure.

[Xyzse]

15. Actually, I saw the first two driving in the highway at some point.

They need to learn how to drive better.

[Kingofalldems]

16. This is HUGH!!!

[arcane1]

17. Remember, so-called patriots: no using the Metro!

That's evil gub'mint!

[Mike Daniels]

18. Can't use the roads either as those are maintained and funded through taxes

Cabs are regulated by city governments so that transportation route isn't viable either.

I guess they just plan on walking to DC.

[MineralMan]

20. Oh...wait...this just in...

Here's the official website of this "organization:"

http://operationamericanspring.org/

They have a discussion forum. Based on the minuscule activity on that official discussion forum, it appears that this event is more likely to turn out 10 people, rather than 10 million.

I'm thinking that the DC police and other agencies can safely stand down from their extensive preparations for this nonsense.

Looks like it's a bust.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Friday May 18?

[GeorgeGist]

24. They are confused about Spring ...

[Turbineguy]

26. It will probably look more like this:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. It occurred to me that it's probably not a good idea

to brag that your event is going to attract 30 million people (or any other extremely large number) unless you're damn sure they are likely to show up. Because when they don't, and not even close, your organization will be tagged with a big fat FAIL and a whole lot of ridicule, like what's going to happen with the "American Spring" nimrods. Just say "a lot of people" will come, then you can define how many "a lot" is. You also won't have to rent every Porta-Potty in the continental U.S.

[WhiteTara]

27. I don't think they will be able to afford the gas.

Not exactly energy efficient, any of them.

[hobbit709]

28. Want to make bets on the portapotty to people ratio?

[spanone]

29. why do they display their stupidity on their cars? dumbfux

[AverageJoe90]

30. LOL, man.....let the cascade of fail begin. =)

I mean, seriously, do these racist reactionary douchebags really think they can intimidate us into just surrendering? Really?

TBH, chances are, if anything, they might get maybe a few thousand to show up......with at least a few thousand serving as counter protestors. In any case, I love a good case of RWNJs being humiliated. Let it be.

[LiberalElite]

31. Unfortunately they may have a ready-made excuse for only a few showing up -

RAIN

[MineralMan]

33. The Revolution has been called, due to rain.

It will be rescheduled for an unspecified future date.

[AnnieBW]

32. I'm quaking in my boots

I think I'll take off work on Friday to avoid the massive traffic backups caused by the Million Teabagger March on the local DC traffic. Which is, of course, made up by thousands of nameless, faceless bureaucrats going to their Federal jobs to think up more ways to regulate and tax people!
