9-12 Attendence, who's lying, ABC or Michelle Malkin?
Submitted by captcorona on Sun, 09/13/2009 - 16:59
While I am sure there are many here who would call both liars, I am wondering if there is a screen shot or video of ABC saying there were 2 million attendants at the 9-12 Event in Washington D.C. ABC.com is refuting Michelle Malkins claim that they had reported 2 Million. While I am not a fan of Michelle Malkins, I'd love to stick it hard to ABC (All Barack Channel). Any help?

I, too, was there and the number of people present was amazing
Several times during the speeches it was announced to text to a certain number so the organizers could verify how many were there. The cool thing was, each time they announced it they gave a different number to text to... I guess to have multiple measurements.
This being said, when you walked around the area it was apparent NO ONE was prepared for the incredible number of people who showed up... including the organizers! :) We blew everyone's socks off! The area set up for the speeches in front of the capitol had goo sound, but if you were across the pool the sound level dropped dramatically... to the point we were not able to hear much of anything back by the street. And, there were many, many more people behind us, across the street, going up the mall towards the monument. I have been to big rock concerts and a conservative estimate would put the crowd in the hundreds of thousands of people. Additional anecdotal proof... there were lines for bathrooms in most every surrounding building and there were several dozen porta-potties on site with lines.
What is needed for crowd counting is aerial footage and pictures which can be broken down and counted.

i was there...
I am sure there was easily 1 million people there. the march TO THE capital from freedom plaza went on for over 2 hours, a steady stream of people packed in like sardines... the crowd was enormous...
listen, i'd say 90% of the people there were not neo-cons. they were conservatives. most are tired of the spending and the obama lies.
the war issue is a soft-spot for people and most you can talk them out of it. you need to teach these people some things... but don't push them away.

Nothing like riding on coat tails
If what you say is true that most were NOT neo-cons, then Michelle Malkin is trying to own the march. Memo to Ms. Malkin: go busy yourself rallying for that lovely "Defending Internment" campaign you've talked so much about in the past.
Refuting? Or rebutting?

The Facts....
What I am looking for is ABC footage where they actually say 2 Million. It would be great to catch them in a lie.
I was just quibbling over
I was just quibbling over semantics. "Refute" means conclusively to prove wrong with evidence and logic.
