Just briefly talked to someone 'there'. approx 500K - 750K people in attendance. Will report more as information comes in...k?


That's as stupid as your misspelled avatar.
Did you look at the aerial photo?
It's not even close to 100k.

So, a crowd control expert that you know, personally counted 750,000 people?

Interesting, considering the crowd didn't even bother to hang out for that last lip-synced song before they began dispersing.

Bumble your estimates are pretty close, it's just that the progressive liberals can't admit that many people  came to participate in an event to help the families of soldiers killed while conducting special operations for the USA. The liberals see the hand writing on the wall and know their days in power are numbered.

Quoted Text
Officials do not make crowd estimates because they are unreliable and can be controversial, but event organizers put the number of attendees at 500,000; NBC News said it was closer to 300,000, but by any measure it was a large turnout. The crowd stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

AirPhotosLive.com, who took the overhead photos at the rally's peak, says 87,000.

There's not alot of guesswork, or opinion involved.

Hey, there could have been 10 people there. I'm just telling you what I was told by people from this area that were there...k?

You don't have to believe me, but very simple logic deduces, by viewing aerial photos, of Beck's 9/12 thing last year, the Obama inauguration, or even unrelated events like Woodstock,  the crowd is MUCH less dense than even the last time Beck inflated his numbers.

I didn't make up that number, it was from a very reliable source (they assess lots of of stuff, like say, troop movements) that both Reps, Dems and the DOD, among others, have used.

OH NOES! The link that you obviously didn't even bother to click on, was on the CBS website.
LIBRUL MAIAINSTREAM MEDIA!

But wait. Isn't the entirely foreign owned FOX "news" the actual "Mainstream Media"?

I mean, wouldn't the "people" that claim to have highest rate of viewership, be considered to be "The Mainstream MediaTM?"

That is not a dense crowd.
Mentally yes, but physically no.
