THIS PHOTO IS NOT FROM THE TEA PARTY

Please be careful as this photo is from the million man march. The left and nutroots are using it as a tactic to discredit the real photos. Real photos will have a huge white tent in middle of field.

These are real photos from the Tea Party:

When the WH say these people "are not representative of mainstream Americans", they are offering a subjective opinion.

And that opinion is purely based on a liberal slanted point-of-view.

The statements intent is to support the WH position, "it clearly understands" what the "pulse" of America is.

And to comfort the left in telling them the Tea Party movement is minimalist.

The problem for the WH, however, is that it is none of the above is true. In fact, as the movement gains strength, failure to recognize and acknowledge its growing presence is like walking down railroad tracks hoping the train will stop before it hits you. A strategy that will certianly lead to it's downfall, as history has proven time and again, over the ages.

Oh, I see those! They’re at intervals along the street. Interesting. I never would have noticed that.

Malkin posted this picture and she has debunked this crap... the picture was real 100%.

I was offline for most of the afternoon and early evening — and just learned that the nutroots are claiming that the screenshot of the 9/12 march in D.C. that I posted — taken from a livecam of the event that I linked to here — is somehow “fake.”

The claim is that the shot came from the Kennedy procession or a previous left-wing protest and that the flag at half-mast proves that it was “fake.”

Newsflash for the clueless: Flags were still at half-mast earlier today in honor of the murder victims of the 9/11 jihadi attacks.

Guess the 9/11-was-an-inside jobbers are still that much in denial.

Unbelievable.

Thank you for posting this. I was there yesterday, and there was some convention going on on the other end of the mall (hence all of the white tents). Furthermore we were more down Pennsylvania Ave - the mall, except around the Capitol, was almost barren.

Lefty: “Hey! That photo is fake!” or "I like your shirt."

You or me: “Go to Hell, you stinking piece of filth."

Lefty: "Excuse me, do you have the time?"

Me: "It's time for you to self-abort, you scum-sucking parasite!"

Note that both responses are equally valid to *any* inquiry from the Left. Additionally, any portion of an exorcism ritual may be submitted as a greeting to any statist.

We marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol. We weren’t on the mall down to the Monument. There were some in there, but we didn’t fill that area. There was actually a Black Unity something or another down by the monument (which was a lot of fun walking through afterwards).

Everybody who was there can tell that the Promise Keepers’ photo wasn’t where we were.

Nice Quote I thank you.

This picture is not where we were. There was another event, a black unity event, down by the monument. Trust me, I was there, I walked right through it. This photo is absolutely, positively the Promise Keepers rally, not ours.

Michelle was referring to the time-lapse video down Pennsylvania Ave. That’s where we marched. And the video clearly shows in excess of a million people.

I understand now... I thought they were one in the same but they were not. Heck the left is in denial about everything. I apologize.

I’ve seen these photos several times today, they did look old, but now I’m dissapointed that there weren’t really that many folks at the Teaparty yesterday.

The second guy from the left, eight rows back, has his eyes closed.

I doubt there is an aerial shot. One; we’d have seen it by now. 2; the airspace issue and terrorism would have made it difficult to impossible to charter a private aircraft to take pix. And if the TV stations didn’t care, there would be no traffic helos. The Metro PD may have had a chopper in the air but good luck getting those photos made public.

[Guenevere]

You joined today! so you could make your negative and false statement!

Go back to DU!

The first photo is not from 9/12. I was there - not only was the day overcast, but there were people seated on both sides of the west lawn in front of the Capitol Building. They made the people on the north side move back to clear a corridor for emergency services, and were fairly restrictive in admitting people on either side (somebody had to leave for somebody else to get in), but the lawn was still packed.

This is used to estimate the crowd sizes at the National mall.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yeah. It is Promise Keepers Stand in the Gap rally. It was posted yesterday and if you right click on it and check "properties" it says what it is.

No worries. I don’t give a damn what the left says about anything anymore. They’re incapable of telling the truth about anything. They’re scum.

We know what happened yesterday. It was a sea of humanity as far as any eye could see. Everybody there was absolutely blown away by the turnout.

[ElayneJ]

Oh, sure - I noticed that right away. :)
