After weeks of free PR on Faux News and talk radio NPS and DC Police and Fire estimate attendance at 60-70,000. | ||

Ive heard tens of thousands. Did this event really happen or was it faked like acorngate? | ||

Referring to FOX News as "Faux News" apparently makes the small minded types and elitists feel good about themselves; the elites feel oh so much more enlightened; you know the type, the ones who cannot debate the issues on the merits or facts, but choose to belittle, smear, and insult those with opposing views. Sad. We have a president who is pathological liar, yet some can't see it. | ||

Well, when you have no merits or facts to back something up, what else can you do? I like the ever popular "racist" remark for not agreeing. | ||

60-70k would barely fill a stadium. I was there and the marchers were packed deep from the Capital to the White House down Penn Ave. That's a couple of miles distance between the two. | ||

Look at it this way... if you use the rigorous accounting and integrity standards established by Barney Frank, and vetted by NPR, (reference the million man march or the million mom march), then "60,000 to 70,000" actual people would represent a "media attendance reporting" number that would be 8 times the total population of the united states!  | ||

Does anybody actually ride motorcycles anymore? How many bikes were at the rally? Remember the last guy screwed the pooch in innumerable ways too as did the guy before him and the guy before him...... I'm seeing a pattern here | ||

Parks and Recreation estimate 1.2 million and DC Police 1.5 million. | ||

You mean the National Park Service? I was under the impression they don't do crowd estimates any longer. How many bikes were at the rally? I did see one fellow riding a Harley in the march and a truck was towing a float shaped like a sailboat | ||

Buellgrrrl "YOU LIE!" From the Sunday Washington Post. "Authorities in the District do not give official crowd estimates, but Saturday's throng appeared to number in the many tens of thousands. A sea of people surrounded the Capitol reflecting pool, spilling across Third Street and along the Mall. The sound system did not reach back far enough at the edges of the rally to hear the speakers onstage" | ||

just another stupid protest that makes it a PIA to get around the city. At least it was on a Saturday. | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
Made it hard for you to get your crack, eh ??? | ||
| Crackhead |
crack you can get anywhere. getting to work when people are protesting, makes me want to kill people. | ||
| Blake |
Then you have serious issues bordering psychopathy. | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
What makes me want to strangle someone is when they shutdown the beltway for visiting dignitaries during rush hour. | ||
| Crackhead |
oh like how the shut down 395 for the pope. Blake, you have no idea how many nut jobs come here thinking they can make a difference. | ||

Point taken, but not with regards for this past weekend. |
