I guess you'll have to wait for FOX(KKK) News to tell you the truth before you will believe it!

I certainly wouldn't give any credence to liberal hacks - can you blame me?

Why do people even care how many people where there? Who cares! If people are unhappy and want to protest, so be it. Be glad that we live in a country that affords us such rights.

If two people showed up, it would be a success. Shows that there are people on the opposite side of the fence.

You are right and I agree.

As had been forecast. Except on the 9/12 DC website this morning which said sunny, mid-80's. LOL...

The AP said "tens of thousands".

NBC said hundreds of thousands. He and his crew were there.

Tens of thousands - would it bother you if it were 100,001?

Even better than the numbers that showed up - whatever it turns out to be - was the coverage.

The MSM was simply shocked at the massive rally.

So far, in this one thread, you've inaccurately attributed a Lenin quote to Marx, and you've posted a 12-year old photo as "evidence" of today's crowd in Washington. Please, for the sake of intelligent discussion, research what you post prior to posting it. Honest mistakes now and again are one thing, but continually posting invalid/inaccurate garbage because you couldn't take 20 seconds to validate your information is just lazy and causes you to lose credibility very quickly.

That's tomorrow's forecast, and I hope it's true. Did I suddenly get transported to Seattle or Portland?

Link to where NBC said that? I provided the link to the FD quote.

DC FD, who were there, said,

approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department.

The photo wasn't captioned and came from what I understood to be a legitimate source. My apologies.
