However, ClusterFox says that they're just trying to raise expectations. Those wily libruls, always a step ahead. Yes, folks, it's time to play "Blame the Dems!"
Conservatives have seized on this memo as proof Democrats are playing an expectations game.
It's a plot! It's all a big, scary plot, I tell ya!
They say the House leadership wrote the memo in hopes it would be leaked and inflate expectations for the turnout anticipating that it will fall short.
Ya hear that? If the -Ers fail to show in GINORMOUS numbers, it's all our fault!
"It's an old political tactic to get out in front and make wild projections and when they're not met, claim their opponents don't have the juice," said Pete Sepp, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, one of the organizers of the rally.
Sepp said there's only one reason to float a number that high.
"You set the bar at 2 million and anything under it becomes a failure," he said, adding that any event in D.C. that attracts 50,000 is considered a success...."
Ohhh, now, you wait just a minute there, mister. I know what you're doing, yes I do. You're pulling the ol' switcheroo by lowering expectations, right? Right? Boy howdy, you nearly had me going there for a second.
Sly fox...
"...A crowd of 2 million people, he said, "would exceed our wildest dreams."
Is that what Rushpublics dream about? I'm more into white sandy beaches, hammocks, margaritas, and Anthony Weiner.
Even President Obama didn't attract 2 million people to his inauguration, when estimates ranged from 1.2 million to 1.8 million people.
Hey, wouldn't that be rich? Topping Obama's numbers? Wouldn't that be something?
Not gonna happen. Never ever. Project Exploit9/11 will not, shall not, shan't, can't, won't generate Obama-sized crowds. But posting this clever article on Fox News saying it'll never happen and turning the tables on the Dems is so-o-o GOP.
Those scamps.
But Thornell told FOXNews.com that he was not playing an expectations game and that he simply used the numbers cited by organizers.
"I was using their own words and predictions and estimates," he said, explaining his memo was a compilation of statements from different Tea Party Web sites.
Wait, so it was the TeaCynics who raised expectations after all, huh? Now who do we believe, them or the astroturfers who pay them to show up?
Adam Brandon, a spokesman for FreedomWorks, told Politico he expects the crowd to be in the 20,000-30,000 range.
Infighting is so much fun. Can't wait 'til tomorrow! Get out your tally sheets.
