An undemocratic removal of elected officials from office. Such patriots.
The website doesn’t seem to say, unless I missed it, where exactly these people are supposed to be meeting. So even if they actually get, say, 187 attendees, those people will be wandering around the Mall, I’d imagine, in little gaggles of four or five, looking for the other 9,999,713 like-minded “eagles.” Logistically, in terms of food and hygiene, the museums in the area should be well sufficient. One field trip to D.C. from a middle school would vastly outnumber the people who’ll show up for this fiasco.
These things always remind me of that Onion article from a few years back. Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be
As long as “massive numbers” is any integer greater than 2, they may reach massive numbers.
They’d probably find each other pretty easily considering they’ll each be about 65 +/- 5 years, mildly to severely obese, they’ll all be sporting American flag attire and half will be rolling up in Jazzy scooters.
Oh, Harry, I think we all can guess how “all this will unravel”.
Sure it will.
You can be assured that FOX NEWS will only show a “tight shot” of the crowd (and maybe even “digitally enhance” it by adding in a few (say, 9,995,000) “extra Patriots”) to push their propaganda.
Seriously, do they think there are THAT many bat shit crazy Government haters ???
Last time Larry Klayman and his buddies tried this back in November, they got about 150 people.
I made a somewhat bullish prediction that they were going to get 200 tomorrow, but that was before I saw that it’s going to be raining all day: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=zmw:20004.1.99999
So I’m revising my estimate back down to 150.
I’ll definitely swing by during my lunch hour to take some pictures of the nutbags.
Just did a super fast google search, and it appears the largest single gathering ever in the US was in Boston. The crowd that turned out for the parade to celebrate the Red Sox World Series win in 2004 was estimated at 3 million. There have only been 2 single day crowds that exceeded 9 million world wide. 15 Million for the funeral of C. N. Annadurai in Tamil Nadu, India in 1969. And “An estimated 30 million people gathered to take bath on Mauni amavasya on 10th February, 2013 during Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India.”

Although, every year since 2009, the annual pilgrimage of Shia Muslims to the of Husayn ibn Ali in Karbala, Iraq during Arba’een has exceeded 10 million over a couple days. Of course that is a religious pilgrimage, planned years in advance, drawing from a global population of 1 billion people.
I somehow doubt the maybe 20 million tea partiers in America can pull it off by Friday.
This ought to be fun. Can’t wait to see how these uber patriots’ plans work out.
If you count the imaginary friends of the few hundred GOPig Party loons and Bagger mental patients who will show up for this hayseed clusterf*ck in tri-corner hats…AND you use FOX math, there will be {{{bazillions and bazillions}}} of em’!
At least the DC economy will be stimulated.
Just laughing thinking about the friends & family of the people who might be off to participate in this misadventure … and what they will be saying about where they have gone …
“Oh, Bob? … oh yeah … uh he’s away for the weekend … uh … gone on a fishing trip … yep … that’s it …”
I believe it was the NYPD that broke up the Occupy protests. That would be a distinctly different form of government (city) than the government (Federal) you seem to be concerned will give a pass to these idiots. That aside, doing anything more than ignoring these morons lends them a credence they should most definitely NOT be afforded.
You know, 41.2 million white people voted for Obama in 2008. Surely some of them are among your neighbors.
Can’t wait to see this.
Maybe we should start a pool for guessing the actual attendance.
I’m in for a sawbuck - my guess is 666.
Oh yeah, you got game.
“Patriots” that want to overthrow the elected government.
My head hurts.
And a former GENERAL is leading them? The military is an ideological cesspool funded by taxpayer dollars with the specific purpose of killing people. We need to clean THAT sh!t up, not our elected officials.
I got 175.
