What if you gave a revolution and (almost) nobody showed up? That’s the question that deranged Obama opponent Larry Klayman has to answer now.

In October, Klayman called upon “millions of Americans” to march on Washington, D.C. ( http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/09/obama-eligibility-attorney-larry-kla
yman-sets-date-for-revolution-to-end-obamas-reign-of-terror
/) The goal? To remove “usurper” President Obama from office. Today, November 19, 2013, is the date Larry Klayman picked for his “revolution.” Larry Klayman predicted that his rally calling for the overthrow of President Obama would draw “millions to occupy Washington D.C.” and that those millions would “occupy parks, sidewalks, public areas” until the president leaves office. Did the millions he forecast to descend upon the city arrive in planes, trains, and automobiles?

Not quite.
Quote:

Less than 100 Tea Party-affiliated protesters gathered in Lafayette Square on Tuesday to call for Obama’s impeachment, just steps from the White House where President Obama was meeting with members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee.

Klayman described the rally as the first day of the second American Revolution. At the event, a George Washington impersonator presented the grievances of the coalition in the form of a repurposed Declaration of Independence. The demands included seeing President Obama’s birth certificate, not George Washington said, the “photocopied version,” repealing the Affordable Care Act, and allowing witnesses from Benghazi to give their accounts. Klayman said that if President Obama does not adhere to their demands by Black Friday, Nov. 29, the day that traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, the protestors would have no choice but to attempt to force him out of office.

There were no announcements aboutthe person best fit to replace Obama. When asked who he would rather see in his place, Larry Sherwood from Virginia who held a sign that read “Obama Lies” said he hadn’t yet considered it. ”Maybe Rand Paul,” he said. “But he’s getting kind of old.” TIME.com http://swampland.time.com/2013/11/19/tea-party-protestors-demand-obama

In case his total lack of relevance has caused you to forget, Larry Klayman is a lawyer and founder of the groups Freedom Watch, and Judicial Watch. He is also a columnist at the unhinged anti-Obama site World Net Daily. Klayman has been on a personal anti-Obama jihad for some time. In 2012 he claimed that the president had been indicted by a “citizens’ grand jury.” ( http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/klayman/130916) It seems to be of little concern to Klayman that his citizens’ grand jury was not approved by the courts, and therefore is a total sham.

The right wing site BizPac Review proclaims “Over 40 groups converge on WH to ‘Reclaim America’; MSM ignores.” ( http://www.bizpacreview.com/2013/11/19/over-40-groups-converge-on-wh-t
o-reclaim-america-msm-ignores-87461
) Over 40 groups? Let’s see…100 divided by 40 is… Apparently those groups didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to bring more than just their officers. And regarding the mainstream media “ignoring” the event? A few years ago I stood on the steps of the Capitol and watched a similar sized group protesting infant circumcision. The media didn’t cover that one, either.

Another site sympathetic to Klayman, FreedomOutpost.com, offers a list of 32 speakers ( http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/11/watch-larry-klaymans-reclaim-america
n-live-video
/) who were scheduled for the event. The list includes former Congressman Bob Barr, Alan Keyes — the man who was beaten by President Obama for the U.S. Senate, anti-Muslim fanatic Pamela Geller, and singer Pat Boone. The site also offers a live video feed of the event. As of 2:30 PM EST the feed says “off air.” Instead of a live broadcast we are treated to a replay of 13:27 seconds of the event, which may have actually been the sum total of the whole affair.

Larry Klayman originally said that his intent was to stay in Washington until the president resigns or is forced from power by the military ( http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tomorrow-second-american-revolut
ion-begins
). Those plans may have changed following the turnout in the high two figures.

Yeah, the "Pat Boone" thing made my scrolling eye skip, too, but I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. I thought that old fart was long dead by now...I guess just "brain" dead...or senile...

No video, but there are photos at http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/larry-klayman-rally-overthrow-ob
ama-draws-slightly-fewer-millions-expected
. Not much to see. This one's entitled "The Millions Descend":



I guess his "millions" DID "occupy parks, sidewalks, public areas"…but it kinda looks like not all those "occupiers" were paying attention…

And here's ""George Washington" reads the new Declaration of Independence from Obama":



Looks like a good time was had by all. I'm happy for them.

100, counting the freelancer sleeping on the park bench. These are the die-hard Tea Party folk who can't get enough crazy at home.

Klayman is another Limbaugh wannabe!
