60-70,000 is a flat out lie. I was there.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No offense, but if you try to use a Michelle Malkin link to prove anything to Lefties they automatically say it's a lie.

A link to the actual ABC story would be really nice.

Who is the ultimate source on the attual attendance?

That would be the information czar.

Only a thousand or two.

2 million!!

That’s 1.9 million more people than attended the much-ballyhooed so-called “Million Man March.”

[prisoner6]

More or less? I'm GUESSING 200K...maybe a few more.

We can't fall for the trap of overstimating and then have the MSM prove we're worng. Better to undersetimate.

I just posted a post that claimed the 2M figure came from ABC radio. We need to get a source acceptable to independents, at least.

“The tens of thousands of protesters marched to the U.S. Capitol chanting various slogans and waving posters that voiced a rather broad array of grievances against big government and the leaders, particularly President Obama, who the protesters blame for its size and scope.”

WHAT??

[tentmaker]

Well, I was there and I saw around 300,000 at the Capitol end of Pennsylvania Ave. I could not see everybody, so I don’t know how many more than that there were. I doubt it was over a million but I could be wrong. It will take some time to get more level headed estimates, but eventually the photos will tell the truth.

we are sick of all these professional politicians. It is time for the party of the people...the People’s party!

Sarah's party!

Who the hell are you? And what is your motive?

That is a picture from this morning. Next time shut your mouth before you look like an idiot.

[tutstar]

BUMP!

[RatsDawg]

The People’s Party? I think I like The American Party more.

[Verginius Rufus]

Conservatives have seized on this memo as proof emocrats are playing an expectations game...

I haven't seen the word "emocrats" before--I assume it's from the same root as "emetic."

Is Obama still hiding in Minnesota?

[tutstar]

What does Pelosi know about Obama's eligibility?
