The pictures were a riot! I guess that puts to bed the claim made in the closed thread that there was only one person in a political shirt!

It should but you know how blind the right are. This should put to bed another claim from that closed
thread, the claim, "Gotta be close to a million....."

"AirPhotosLive.com gave its estimate a margin of error of 9,000, meaning between 78,000 and 96,000
people attended the rally. The photos used to make the estimate were taken at noon Saturday, which is
when the company estimated was the rally's high point."

Opinions will vary on the head count.

It looked like more than 87,000 however I am sure not an expert on people counting.

I do know it took about three hours to get to our car and back to the hotel in Arlington.

No, it was because it was the right thing. They did not want to be like the liberals and carry signs of hate all the time.

Anyway, Al Sharpdung and his thug crew were close by signing autographs with their normal X.

How many just wandered in out of curiosity as opposed to die hard Beck followers? We'll never really be sure.

They would have had to be VERY curious.
