Wow, who could have seen this one coming? :rolleyes:

This weekend, 10 to 30 million patriotic Americans were supposed to descend on Washington, D.C. and take back America from the Marxist regime of President Obama. The plan was to have millions ‘peacefully’ demonstrate for three days. After the demonstration was over, one million people would then stay in Washington and force the non-Tea Party elected officials in D.C, starting with the President, to resign from office. At that point, tribunals led by the likes of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Allen West, Jim DeMint and Mike Lee would convene and conduct investigations, while the new Congress, consisting of only like-minded individuals, would appoint a new President and replacements of those who were removed from office.

Hrafnkell Haraldsson already covered the unmitigated disaster that was the Operation American Spring weekend protest. At best, a few hundred individuals appeared this weekend for the rally. Of the few that did show up, many were true zealots and lunatics hoping to get noticed. Hrafnkell did a great job providing the names of some of the crazies that made appearances and what they hoped to accomplish this weekend. ...

Seems like these clowns took a page from the Cliven Bundy book of... whatever...

Rural Nevada roads?

Seems to me your statement should've been, ".... don't do revolution in the streets very well", 'cuz it seems that a whole lot of them keep trying their hands at it and it also sure seems to me that I'm hearing a lot of verbage out of your militant right wing about watering the tree of liberty and Second Amendment Solutions.

What these idiots proposed was nothing short of a putsch, but they wrap themselves in the flag and the Constitution, just like the miscreants making up the Bundy Bunch. Do you actually identify them as "we Republicans"? Is this just your naughty wing? "Oh, jes' a bunch of the good ol' boys having theyselves some fun. Don' mean nothing by it."

If that's your party you can cry if you want to. I'd cry too if it happened to me-e.

I think in the 1960 election in Chicago this is how the conversation went. John Daley to JFK "How many votes do you need there, Jack?". In my opinion only.

Was this revelation gleaned during the time you voted straight Democratic and were marching and sitting in for equal rights, or was it after you started spouting far right wing dogma and supporting folks like George Zimmerman, Cliven Bundy, and Donald Sterling?

That would have been a pretty impressive feat for a 14 year old kid.

We could look at this in a positive light.

They accomplished the same thing that the Occupy movement accomplished, but without making the same amount of mess.

So they got that going for them, which is nice.

You beat me to it. There is something to be said for a protest movement without the rapes, arson, and vandalism.
 
Sadly OAS is still suffering death spasms. The are under the impression that the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally for POW's is going to be there to bolster their numbers.

You know, you claim to be a libertarian who isn't a part of the GOP culture wars, but you sure do absorb a great deal of Breitbartian politics.

"Rapes"?

 
From the OAS forum,

To any and all doubters: the patriots will be in DC this weekend, when the hundreds of thousands of bikers arriving for the annual Rolling Thunder rally 'turn right' and join forces with OAS!! And Colonel Riley will be leading them!!

Something tells me that while some RT participants may agree with OAS the leadership of RT, that has for years been a voice for POW's, will not take kindly to a handful of disorganized racists trying to co-opt their annual event.

Yes, at "Occupy Cleveland" an underage girl was made to share a tent with a man and reported being raped to both the Occupy people and the police.

It's worth noting that in the aftermath, some of the occupiers accused the victim of being a CIA "plant", which is classy.

ETA: I believe it was subsequent to this incident that the Wall Street camp asked its residents not to report sex crimes to the police, but rather to the camp "committee". Presumably so that the offender could (maybe) be quietly kicked out of the camp while avoiding bad press.
