I Can PROVE No More Than 50,000 At Teabagger Wankfest

[WeDidIt]

Look at this shot:



They don't extend past the pool. Nobody is on the mall.

THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE MORE THAN 50,000!!!!

Anybody claiming any more is an idiot.

1. There are people in the mall. But how many are teabaggers? There for the Black Family Reunion?

There just visiting the nation's capital?

It's really difficult to say.

3. Doesn't look like a real crowd...there's hardly anyone on the grass (of the mall)

7. There were other events on the Mall as well

See the large tent half way to the Washington Monument.

Here is a link to events in DC http://washington.org/visiting/events-calendar

2. For that matter the corwd in front of the pool isn't that dense...lot of green

But according to another poster it's almost 2 million as Michelle Malkin claims! Someone should tell Fox News, who say it was only tens of thousands...they're clearly off by a factor of 50 or more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/12/tea-party-express-arrives-march-washington-protest-government-spending/ Of course, Fox are probably just hiding the real numbers because they're part of the liberal media...

:rofl:

4. Oh, please don't tell me she said 2,000,000. LOL They say anything.

5. Check it out, it's good for a laugh

She actually claims that ABC estimated the crowd at 2m, even though ABC's stories all say 'tens of thousands'...and the morn commenters are eating it up. I'm pretty sure the top photo is a total fake as well.

Regrettably, MM herself wasn't able to attend :-)

6. She did say that. It's on the internets now, so it won't ever go away.

DC Fire Department says 60,000 - 70,000:

Tea Party Protesters March on Washington

Thousands March to U.S. Capitol to Protest Government Spending, Health Care; Many Chanted 'You Lie'
By RUSSELL GOLDMAN
Sept.12, 2009

Thousands of conservative protesters from across the country converged on the Capitol Saturday morning to demonstrate against President Obama's proposals for health care reform and voicing opposition to big government, what they say is over-the-top spending.

Carrying signs depicting President Obama as Adolf Hitler and the Joker, and chanting slogans such as "'No big government" and "Obamacare makes me sick," approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department.
