Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration | Mail Online

Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.

The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Far greater numbers than anyone was expecting, it seems. These protests have tapped a nerve...

Well, allow me to wonder since that's the number quoted for Obama's inauguration and that really crowded the city's infrastructure.

The tens of thousands of protesters marched to the U.S. Capitol chanting various slogans and waving posters that voiced a rather broad array of grievances against big government and the leaders, particularly President Obama, who the protesters blame for its size and scope.

Those moonbats at Fox News!

Looking at the pictures, that certainly is a diverse crowd at the event.

Yes, that is a lot of people...I give you that.

Eaglseven just makes stuff up. There was never 2 million people marching on Washington. A few thousand organized by the nut bag freedom works group!

 

[rightwinger]

2 Million??

I heard there were 2 Billion people there......why is the mainstream media hiding the true number???

Fox News is probably the #1 Right Wing outlet today in the U.S. What would be their motivation to downplay such numbers?

Managing Expectations: Crowd Size for D.C. Rally Sparks Fight - Washington Wire - WSJ

Organizers are playing down the likely attendance—publicly, at least—hoping the crowd will be enormous and surprise the public with the magnitude of the movement’s appeal. A spokesman for FreedomWorks, one of the groups organizing the march, said a conservative estimate was that 20,000 to 30,000 protestors would show up.

“Now, based off of news reports and comments from leaders in the Tea Party movement, it looks like Saturday’s event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to two million people,” Doug Thornell, communications director for Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), wrote in a short memo to other congressional offices. He provided links to claims of massive turnout made internally by supporters of the rally.

The two million estimate seems unlikely. Officials in Washington, D.C., estimated that 1.8 million people flocked to the city for President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

I like what this guy had to say:

On 9/12, people in New York (and DC) did not feel as "great" as Glenn Beck. They just felt like shit. They felt scared and confused and depressed. Many of them were drunk. And only an idiot or an actual terrorist would want to always feel like it was 9/12/01. And eight years later, normal people, with brains and souls, have decided that some emotional distance from that disaster is healthier and wiser than trying to recapture the dread.

2 ,000,000 s0ns!!!!

Ah Eagleseven, deluding himself by taking a British source on these events instead of the America outlets including the right wing ones.

Lovely.

Don't you realize...it's only a few "fringers" who are messing things up for the majority, who LOVE Obama and agree with all his proposals?
