You folks have it all wrong, it was a typo. This event has been a GREAT success! they were expecting 10-30 milling people, but reports say they have over 100!

That makes excellent sense! They certainly reached their goal of having a few dozen people 'milling about'.

Other websites have picked it up and run with it.
As I said, no advertising.

Is the result surprising?

You obviously don't hang at any far right wing sites--they've been advertising this event for months, and that's the constituency that they expected to show up. As of a few days ago the organizer claimed he had a million confirmed, including militias from many different states.

“We have well over 1 million militia members mobilizing; bikers, truckers, hunters, Tea Party groups — citizens across America. No, I don’t think 10 million (participants) is high at all.”

Operation American Spring promises to drive Obama from office this Friday

They are keyboard commandos--lots of big talk, but no action, especially if it means a slight inconvenience, (such as getting wet).

They sound like the spiritual and intellectual leaders of the GOP.

Well, 10 million people who are high can make an awful mess. Oh, wait, he was talking about the participation estimate...my bad.

Looks more like 50 or 60 to me.

Maybe they should have recruited Conchita Wurst to entertain the "patriots" ... they would have had a bigger turn out.
