How Many People Do You Think Were Really in DC Yesterday for 912?
Submitted by James3 on Sat, 09/12/2009 - 14:16
I know it's more than the MSM's tens of thousands, it's certainly in the 100s of thousands, and I believe over a million. Does anybody know?

2 million is believable
I attended the last Beach Boys concert on the Mall, July 4, 1985, at which 750,000 were reported to have attended. The area between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial was completely jam packed, and the rest of the Mall eastward toward the Capitol was occupied with more of a festival-like density rather than a concert-like density.
It's hard to judge from the photos, because the photos don't show the entire region, and they don't have timestamps (e.g. the crowd could have moved). But based on the photos, 2 million is within the realm of possibility given my experience with the Beach Boys.
Daily Mail is reporting 2 million!
The Daily Mail (Britain's 2nd largest newspaper) is reporting "up to two million"

The figure of 2 million attributed to ABC News is false though:

Just read a piece from ABC affiliate...
"tens of thousands"..... em hmmmmm
ready for this?
I quote
The march was organized by a conservative organization led by former House Republican leader Dick Armey along with several other groups.
The chairman of the House Republican Conference says the message is that "years of borrowing, spending and bailouts" must end.
The GOP is just awesome ain't it?
VOMIT.
FOX is saying "tens of thousands"
No but...
There were about 1000 people at the capital building in Boise, Id. Some Neocons out because the Dems have the power. I saw three Nazi's with Israel did 911 and about 15 other leftists promoting national healthcare.
The last speaker mentioned how in the primary 25% voted for Ron Paul, only a few of us cheered. I am losing hope.
I think I'll turn my TV on
I wonder if any of them work.
Update: Yep, one works, but, apparently I have to wait until a certain time to see a news show. How primitive.

If ABC is reporting
2 million and the DC police say 1.2 million, then I am guessing the number is much higher. The MSM is loathe to acknowledge this movement.
Fox News will have a segment on this now 3:22 pm EDT
If you get Fox News, tune-in.

Spoke too soon, I am too optimistic. 5 SECONDS OF COVERAGE
Unbelievable. Fox News SUCKS!
I am watching on C-SPAN 1
and the converage is good. Faux built it up that they were the place to go for coverage--and they 'misled' us! (The politically correct way to say Faux News LIED!)

Crowds are notoriously hard to count
And somehow whether the counter agrees with the reason for gathering or not can affect the count by orders of magnitude.
Defend Liberty!
That's my point.
Read my post above.
One estimate is 2 million.

The picture is believable that this number is accurate.
