Yes, they did stop giving numbers after the million man march. Some people were in such a fit that apparently fewer than 1,000,000 men were there, that they wanted recounts and upgraded means of counting, etc. So they decided not to give crowd numbers at all for future events.
I didn't see a single Anti-Obama t-shirt or sign. Actually I saw very few printed t-shirts and zero signs. Lots of flags, however. There may have been a few fringe types giving out literature on the edges of the crowd.
There were a few hecklers with whistles who started up when Sarah Palin started to speak. We saw several police officers running through the aisle between barricades. The noise stopped soon. I wonder if lots of patriots took pictures of the creeps and that stopped them.
I didn’t know obuma had 300,000 dregs of society at his inauguration.
Thanks for posting that.
I was in my basement sharpening knives.
Is 500,000 expressed as “500’s of thousands?” Or a million expressed as “thousands of thousands.”
The only way a race whore like al sharpton or any dim politician can draw a crowd like that is to give away cars and rolexes and by the end of it you would probably have to call it a riot.
Molly is a good conservative......to the bone.
Guess what the idiots at cBS estimate the crowd at?

mountainrnizing HUH? Is that a word? =o)
I realize we use the ten base numerical system. You wouldn't describe 100K people as being "ten ten thousand" or 500K people as being "fifty ten thousand", would you? There is an implication by using the term "tens of thousands" that the number is less than 100K.
Retard
-ed!!
I think you’ve pegged him.
ABC didn’t say there were one hundred thousand.
The subheadline of an online report at ABCNews.com reads: Restoring Honor Rally at Sight of MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech Draws Hundreds of Thousands of People
OMG! That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!
The Diet Coke I spewed blocks the actual article. How did they come up with that estimate.

Sorry about that double post.
How true.
They don’t give estimates on that map for the place where today’s rally was.
Why was their “estimation fund” cut after the Million Man March? Did they correctly estimate it as less than a million??
the parks dept was sued by the nation of islam because they estimated less than the what the NOI wanted people to believe. After that lawsuit, they stopped issuing official estimates.
That was Rahm Emanuel and the rest of the White House Staff....we all know they blow......
