While over 100,000 people were expected to show up at today’s ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, late estimates put the crowd numbers at 20,000. Mike Levine of ABC News reported at 2:10 p.m. ET that unofficial crowd estimates from law enforcement sources put the number at “over 20,000.”

Wow...in that shot it looks like a few hundred at the most.

During an average Rolling Thunder Rally, you can’t see the grass all the way to the Washington monument.

I wonder what that purple, green, and white flag on the right represents?

[Slyfox]

Little did he know that when he died his movement would morph into a thug-infested entitlement grab...

with a man voted in as president who claims his mantle. MLK would reject everything about the content of his really bad character.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Even Juan Williams found it offensive that no Republicans were invited to participate. Not even Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott.

[CPT Clay]

Yep

I was there too. It took us two hours just to get onto the Metro train 15 miles from DC. Then walked about a mile to stand in the shadow of the Washington Monument and marvel at the crowd. We got there just as Beck was taking the stage. Massive crowd.

Wow, let's see.... using MSM liberal protester math.....

Two people standing on a streetcorner, yelling at cars = "Dozens"

Ten or a dozen people walking up and down a street = "Hundreds"

Couple of busloads of people, standing on the steps of a gov't building = "Thousands" or "10's of thousands"

So....20,000 estimated = handful of busloads of union goons trucked in, so that BO doesn't look like a fool addressing an empty arena.

Not that he'd skip the opportunity to hear the sound of his own voice.

I wish they were Trayvon....he's deceased, and those two aren't.

(although they sure are doing a reasonable job of looking like it..)

[Baynative]

I doubt we'll see any photos because the media doesn't like comparing the way the mall looked after the Tea Party rally...

... and the way it looked after the Obama inauguration

the waiter’s in DC

Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!

What does this picture of yesterday's small gathering tell you?

The same as this picture:



Both rage over the use of tax dollars and anger over the PROG BS production.

[libstripper]

Th at one gives a damn about the USA. Just count the American flags that (aren’t) there.

[libstripper]

HEY, a flag, just not a real American flag. i'm still waiting to see a picture with just one American flag.

* That means about 10,000. *

ABC news?
Make that 4500

[PATRIOT1876]

* That means about 10,000. *

If it was MSNBC I'd say about 200 people if they reported 20,000.

The inverse if it was TEA Partiers.
