ABC News Was Misquoted on Crowd Size
ABC News Reported D.C. Rally Size in Tens of Thousands, Not 1M to 1.5M as Activist Said.
Conservative activists, who organized a march on the U.S. Capitol today in protest of the Obama administration's health care agenda and government spending, erroneously attributed reports on the size of the crowds to ABC News.
Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, the group that organized the event, said on stage at the rally that ABC News was reporting that 1 million to 1.5 million people were in attendance.
At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large.

Yesterday's march evidenced the fact that we have the capacity to shut down the federal government. And we have the will. Should it come to that.
They’re scared...
and there are a couple threads.
“ABC News Reported D.C. Rally Size in Tens of Thousands, Not 1M to 1.5M as Activist Said.”
It comforts the libs to delude themselves into thinking yesterday’s rally was just a few thousand racist malcontents.
Though I’m quite sure the number was well past 1.5 million (how could it not — a sea of people covered the entire area!), the real counting will begin the first Tuesday of November 2010.
They now know WE KNOW they are a main participant IN THIS TAKE OVER.
Note to ABC's advertisers: Y'all need your corporate heads examined.
But I have a feeling the Government is going to shut down our economy first. We are close to 20% unemployment now, and the dollar is down the tubes. And they tell us this is good.
I have read estimates from different websites. From tens of thousands to 2.2 million. I wish we had an actual headcount. I saw that on C-span yesterday when he announced the 1.5 million. I also read ABC’s report last night from their website.
Best estimate came from another site where police estimate was 1.2 million. I do not have the website as I was searching in a variety of ways last night. I forgot to bookmark the site.

Remember peter jennings of all barack channel ripping Bush for actually following SS plans after 9/11 and old peter the canadian commie was calling our president a coward on National TV... like I said Screw abc... may they die the death of a million paper cuts.
LLS
......I wish we had an actual headcount......
There is no way to develop more than just a very rough estimate. the crowd is fluid, dynamic and moves such that by the time the count is complete in one area, the movement in another area inflates or deflates the total.
Everybody knows democraps have problems with large numbers. That’s why it’s imperative that we take the keys away from them and make sure that they don’t come near the Senate/Congress/White House again for the next several decades.
LOL! They sure are whining.
British press was reporting 2 million.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Just three men, and old lady and a dog.
Now, MOVE ON you SHEEPLE!
We need a good engineer or physicist, (I know there are specialists out there on crowd dynamics) who can knowledgably develop an estimate.
This one in my book is the prize winner of the day. The lady holding it moved from Austria to the US 27 years ago.
ABC: “YOU LIE!”
I should say I couldn’t find the SOURCE of that crowd estimate.
