They're so ashamed of the turnout at their little rally, they decide to post pictures of somebody else's to make theirs look better. Surprised? No...

Fire Department estimates 60,000 to 70,000. When they were gathered together at the Capitol, they didn't fill in all the space of the Capitol lawn and didn't even extend beyond 4th Street. They weren't even on the Mall, except while walking towards the Capitol. I was there.

NBC and others estimate hundreds of thousands.

Driving around, taking pictures, as you told us in a previous post. You weren't actually there.

Based on the pics and the video, it was a massive crowd.

"About 30,000 people registered online for the march, according to one of the rally's sponsors, FreedomWorks, a Washington-based group headed by former House majority leader Dick Armey (R-Tex.)."

I guess racism isn't as popular as some thought.

Ahhhh, the race card. The left's favorite insult. And an insult that is untrue, insulting and incorrect. Just like "teabagging". Saul would be proud.

Have they tallied up the protesters that met the bus across the country? For weeks?

Yes, I was actually there. I was feet away from protesters. I said hi to some of them. How close did you want me to get?

Do you know anything about DC?

Guess you never make a mistake? It was sent on twitter. lol yeah I did it on purpose . It must be hard to be you and never make a mistake. Unlike many I can admit mine. Can you say the same? Well can you? If you could then you would have seen my above post admiting it was a mistake and letting it go knowing you are also human and capable of getting wrong info and making an error
