And you were right there, trying to under inflate the numbers. Anyone with eyes can see for themselves.

If the MLK rally supposedly had 800,000 in attendance, this rally was easily half that.

You get way more than 87,000 in that space.

Just look at the picture man! Don't let your eyes be deceived, unless that's what you want.

The aerial didn't even include the OTHER half of the mall, going back to the Washington Monument.
I'll take the word of the people hired to do the job thanks.

Who cares about the spin? It is obvious that this rally was a huge success.

Personally, I wish Beck and Palin would take their mindless followers and establish their own little theocracy in some other country and leave the U.S. to real, thinking Americans who understand morality and religion have NOTHING to do with each other.

Officials do not make crowd estimates because they are unreliable and can be controversial, but event organizers put the number of attendees at 500,000; NBC News said it was closer to 300,000, but by any measure it was a large turnout. The crowd stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.

Personally I wish that people could have the intelligence to be discerning enough not to label all people who agree with some of what Beck and Palin have to say as "mindless followers." You are one of those like it or leave it people. How closed minded of you.

So you like seeing the leader of your country being submissive?

Oh wait. I think I know your answer.
