Well I'm sure YOU know this old saying all too well....and use it to your advantage:

" If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS."

So that poster was a liberal?

If so then why on this earth would anyone anywhere think he's accounts are credible. I thought by that poster trying to explain that he was at the rally he was trying to claim a more centrist POV...

I could've be wrong...

That's not my photo, someone else posted it and I posted it enlarged when you claimed you couldn't see those white tents in the background. At that time you continued to deny the photo was taken on 9/12, even after I posted my photo of the white tent from the opposite angle. Now you at least acknowledge it was taken on 9/12.

My photos and my drive through were from 1pm to 1:20pm. And that photo corroborates what I saw. By 1pm the crowd was assembled on the Capitol lawn, some of the crowd were leaving, and the Mall did not have crowds on it.

Why do you persist in claiming the Mall had crowds on it? There was a big crowd on the Capitol lawn - why do you feel the need to enhance it? The crowd did not go beyond 3rd St. Everyone else can look at Google maps to see how far that is away from the Capitol.

Complete hogwash. You know why? There is CSpan video, aired live at the scene, that refutes your claims.

You "drove through"? Right up to the crowd?

Because the Cspan video clearly shows people on the mall and on the sides of the mall, the pics show the same and the report from various news organization, NYT and WaPo, reported the crowd spilled onto the mall and third street.

But of course, we should believe you, who just drove by and has no agenda, whatsoever.

You read it before. I drove down Constitution to where it meets Pennsylvania, continued on Pennsylvania until it was blocked at 3rd, I could have turned right on 4th but there was a line of about 4 cars waiting, so I went to the left lane, turned back on Constitution, went up Capitol Hill alongside the Capitol. All streets were open to traffic, including Pennsylvania.

Do you not comprehend how a march works? The people assembled at Freedom Plaza at Penn and 14th, marched down to the Capitol in the morning, and by the time I got there at 1, they already were congregated at the Capitol. They were no longer marching at 1.

Approaching Pennsylvania Ave


Making the turn onto Constitution from Pennsylvania, see people crossing behind me in my mirror


Heading up Capitol Hill on Constitution, Capitol lawn in sight, crowds in distance.
