The Washington Post estimated 10,000. WHen Hannity interviewed Bachmann they claimed 35,000-40,000 but, the clips they showed to back that up were from an earlier Beck gathering.

Did they count them? All I'm saying unless someone sit there and counted each person, No one can prove either right or wrong.

They made a mistake. People are human. Heck Msnbc cropped a man holding a gun at a rally that was a black man and they it looked they wanted people to think he was white.

Lets just not act like cnn or msnbc or abc or whatever hasnt done something similar

Obviously you didn't watch The Daily Show last night or read the thread on Hannity being exposed as a liar again. He and Michelle the loon were talking about 40,000 people at her rally and showing pictures of the 9/12 gathering trying to pass them off as hers. Of course anyone who believes anything they hear on FOX """NEWS""" is deluding themself

The clips shown on Hannity were not done by mistake, Sheesh........ first the trees are almost bare and it's a crisp fall day then they show full green trees on a summer day, people in T-shirts and Hannity remarks about the turnout being so large for the middle of a work day, a Thursday. They purposely ran the footage from a Beck Gathering to make it seem as though the crowd was much larger.
I'm sorry, I don't want to hijack the thread, just trying to answer the question. There is a thread on the subject with the video footage.

Birther lawyer Orly Taitz hasn't been having a great few months. One federal judge fined her $20,000, another dismissed her best shot at bringing one of her lawsuits about President Obama's eligibility for his job to trial. Her stature in the movement has fallen rapidly, as even the other attorneys involved have become disillusioned with her eccentric tactics and her apparent ignorance of basic legal procedure.

Taitz had another setback on Wednesday. She's been promoting the idea of a protest against Fox News and Bill O'Reilly on her Web site for some time now, hoping -- and promising -- for a large crowd to demonstrate against O'Reilly's having dismissed Birthers' concerns and having called Taitz herself a "nut."

Well, the demonstration took place in front of Fox News' Manhattan headquarters on Wednesday, and it was a fairly spectacular failure. A security guard who was present had estimated the crowd at just 15-20 people.
