12. Me, too...........
That was amazing, even for me, a long-time DCer, to see.

Every once in a while, I have to see it, just to remember.

Like I have to watch this every few days, just to keep laughing - it works!

4. Well, they only managed 800 at the kick-off "rally".
Anyone remember the numbers at the night-before events of the inauguration, anti-war protests, etc.???

9. Remember their Tax Day "crowds"?
There were maybe 200 people down near the White House. Pathetic bunch, in the mud.

They planned to dump tea bags inside the White House gates. (What a bunch of hicks!)

The Secret Service kindly advised them that, no, they were not going to do that.

They ended up "symbolicaly" dumping the teabags on a table in an office somewhere in downtown DC.

Sorry, sad bunch. I expect pretty much the same tomorrow................................

19. Yes, I do remember that. For a group that seems to hate the government so much -->>
They caved to "the man" pretty quick once they were advised that dumping little bags containing unknown/unverified substance onto the White House Lawn was probably NOT a good idea.

:rofl:

7. Call all the companies in the area that rent out porta-potties.
Edited on Fri Sep-11-09 09:01 PM by The Velveteen Ocelot
Should give a good idea how many people they really expect. I think the freeper-accepted ratio of potties vs. users is something like two loos per person.

15. There will be a crowd - make no mistake
FreedomWerkz has spent a fortune on this kabuki theater stunt. Worse yet, they have charged some lunatic fringe groups a slightly smaller fortune for the right to get handjobs from Dick Army in his motorhome. You can bet your bottom dollar they will gin up a crowd somehow - even if they have to drag every employee of every pharmaceutical and health insurance company there kicking and screaming.
