" It’s good to see the left in such a panic. "

They lie in their panic and crap.

" these protesters do not represent the main stream of America "
" Don't listen to the Conservatives, there was only 2 protesters in Washington this past Saturday opposing Obama and his wonderful policies "

Ok, I did some searching on this, and it seems that the primary reason why the left is offering up this photo, then turning around and claiming it’s fake is because there’s no capitol visitor center.

It’s also going around twitter. And twicsy, whatever that is.

Public Trust in Media Accuracy & Fairness Plunges, Liberal v Conservative Bias Gap at 28 Points

“The public’s assessment of the accuracy of news stories is now at its lowest level in more than two decades of Pew Research surveys,” a new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, embargoed for release at 11 PM EDT Sunday night, discovered.

The survey, of 1,506 adults conducted in late July, found “nearly three-quarters (74%) say news organizations tend to favor one side in dealing with political and social issues,” up 21 points from 53 percent 24 years ago, “while just 18% say they deal fairly with all sides.” The percent who perceive the media as liberal versus conservative remains very lopsided, though the difference has increased by 7 points — from 40 percent vs. 19 percent in 1985 to 50 percent vs. 22 percent now, a 28 point split.

Also there's no sign of the new Capitol visitors center in the back of the photo on the left. It looks slightly different back there now.

Just because it's fake doesn't mean it isn't true :-)

Yep. Dan Rather said so ...

looks like we had more people than the million man march doesnt it?

[Tacomapatriot]

You are right about that. I was wrong, I’m seeing estimates of nearly 2 million from some sources, I need to pay more attention before I open my mouth!

[Tacomapatriot]

Thanks for the support guys, It’s ok, I have a pretty good flak helmet!

To everyone else: Thanks for teaching me to think before I speak!
