FWIW. WND (admittedly not the most credible source) is reporting a crowd of 10K...

Last thing we need is the MSM and others painting this as a rally with a bunch of angry nutjobs. You don't have to be foaming at the mouth to get your point across.

What I heard was that she told people if they couldnt make it today, to look for their congressperson, they could go tomorrow or saturday. It didnt mention that she would be having another rally. That is done.

dalereed,

I’m not as up on all the history of John Boehner as I could be, and if he did condemn Joe Wilson’s saying “You lie!” to Obama, then Boehner was wrong to have said that. It was perfectly within Wilson’s right to say it, and it was the TRUTH & needed to be shouted.

However, Boehner strongly opposed the Obama trillion-dollar stimulus plan and now he’s again holding together the Republicans against Obama/Pelosi care, so we appreciate that good work.

Gross exaggeration on 9-12? I think not!

Have you seen the panoramic photo from the top of the Capitol?

If not, I will be happy to link it for you. Well over a million there, my friend. You couldn't even move because the crowd was so thick.

I knew that 30 years ago, as did my parents.

I'm 60 and never even considered joining. Their leftist junk mailings line our wastebaskets.

No one should EVER join AARP.

They were angry, just as angry as millions of other people out there, but there is no one to stir them up and lead the charge. These are not leftist radicals, after all, who can always call upon a community organizer to lead the assualt. These poor folks have to get back to work or to make the kid’s dinner.

Exactly my point. It was a leftist blogger and yet it is still attributed to Tea Party organizers - and frankly was repeated here often during the rally and after. I took a LOT of heat on this forum for giving my much lower crowd estimate, which was proven far more accurate. I cited all those points at the time and was called all sorts of lovely names by Freepers.

And my point then is the same as now - be thrilled that this is a movement and that this many people are coming out. A couple of thousand on a Thursday for an even that was not widely publicized until the last 2 days is pretty amazing. As was the 70-100k that showed up for the tea party protests. Artifically inflating these numbers serves no purpose than as a set-up for illegitimacy.

You’d think FReepers would have learned their lesson on crowd estimates.

I agree. It was nice to see so many speak. At least we know they are aware. They don’t live the lives we live.
Most never have.

Seen it. Watched the whole thing. Seen LOTS of protests and lots of overhead shots. No where NEAR 1 million. Can’t believe people still fall for that nonsense.

MNJohnnie - see what I mean?
