#2 Yesterday it was 100,000; today it's 150,000. Next week it'll be 250,000. Yesterday the 'Burg linked to a photo showing less than 20,000.

Anybody seen a picture of 100,000?

#3 I've looked damn hard for photos showing these allegedly huge crowds, and I find... nothing. Only a couple of photos on Yahoo of the crowd at the Ellipse at the height of the demonstration; about 18,000 people altogether.

These idiots are trying to manufacture a legend, at least in their own minds; some moron on Kos this weekend had even talked himself all the way up to 500,000.

#4 I've been part of march of close to 90,000 before. It was leaving FedEx field on opening day.

#5 (d'oh... clicked the button too quick)

There were far more people, stretched over a far longer area that day than in any photo I've seen so far.

#6 Good for him. Great idea and excellent execution. As an aside, numbers don't mean shite when there are things you have to do to survive. It wouldn't be the first time thousands were completely wrong.

#7 I was there and I don't think there was 100,000. I would estimate that it was only 20-30,000 on the parade route. Then again, not everyone marched I'm sure or made all the way to the finish where I was at. I have pics at my site. keep scrolling.

#8 smart boy, just got himself elected! Deserves it too, braving those crazy moonbats. Most are the harmless species, but there are always rabid ones present when they fly in formation.

#9 interesting reading the comments about parade size. Interesting because we all just assume the MSM won't give us an accurate assessment and turn to the blogs to get real reporting on the parade, who was in it and what they said in their speeches. After the MSM dismal performance in New Orleans, I don't see how they are going to survive.

#10 The numbers were ~~manufactured~~ determined by the Hiroshima Memorial Numeration Committee. Guaranteed to grow faster than a Congressman's pork spending.

#13 Folks, we should all realize by now that moonbats aren't good at numbers (or facts for that matter).

I would like to see this "number" of diverse interest groups (Save the whales, Code Pink, Screw the Joos, etc.) go over to Iraq and conduct a protest in the Anbar Providence.

Ever see headless protesters?

Great idea!! If American freedoms aren't worth dying for, they can stay, too.

#18 May I now snicker quietly about all those following him, or will it be called Schadenfreude again?
