This was not the 1968 Democratic Convention. Phil's photo
basically indicated the makeup of the crowd -- a lot of middle
class families.
The size estimates have also varied widely. NBC put the number at
3,000-5,000, while Talking Points Memo reported 8,000. I would
put the number at around 20,000, or in the tens of thousands --
99.9 percent of which went home without any incident with police
officers.
It would seem wise for organizers of large demonstrations to hire
aerial documentation of crowd sizes. Photos throughout the day,
heads can be counted. It is insane to let MSNBC estimate the
crowd.

My daughter just called from Reagan Airport...she said the crowd
was about 5,000 in her estimate. She mentioned about the
democrats scurrying away from the people and one idiot who told
them to leave. The congressman from Vt did meet with her but she
had a time tracking him down. Of course, all she got from him was
a lot of BS.
MillionMan| 11.5.09 @ 6:50PM
So you, who weren't there, would put the crowd number in the tens
of thousands, similar to the tens of millions who made asses out
of themselves during the grand tea bagging kickoff event earlier
this year.
A bunch is willfully ignorant white people stand outside Congress
demanding that Congress not give them a policy that will help
them immeasurably. Yup, sounds like Palin supporters to me.

MM...you are one ignorant person, aren't you? Tell me,loser, just
what is your purpose for being on this earth, other than to take
up space. Your comments speak of someone who isn't dealing in
reality.

"similar to the tens of millions who made asses out of themselves
during the grand tea bagging kickoff event earlier this year."
Or similar to the "million moron march" headed by Jew/Amercian
hating Black Supremacists? Ok for the, but not for "we?" Typical
facist.
The only people who are "willfully ignorant" are government
slaves like you who have not the fortitude or the wherewithal to
gain anything in your miserable life without expecting to have it
handed to you. Take your victimhood & stick it where the sun
don't shine. Your sorry arguments on behalf of that tired refrain
have lost their bite. Go beg for more subsistence from your
masters.

That's a lot of bused in ACORN thugs isn't it you racist moron?
All you clowns could get was a dozen sad sack, paid useful idiots
to storm Leiberman's office?
Sounds like more racism to me. Joe being Jewish & all.
I wonder how Sen. Robert Bryd, sitting Democrat Senator and
former KKK klavan founder would take your comments?
The left are a bunch of facist, Brown Shirt pigs who are straight
out of Animal Farm.
No doubt you were hired with stimulus money to help shore up
Bertha Lewis's criminal fraud machine. You media "image shapers"
are a crackup and completely predictable.

if it would help them immesurably it would be slated to take
effect immediately, that way you commies could run on its
benefits. the fact that it doesn't take effect until after
obammies reelection proves the point. even its architects know it
will be a disaster.

Wait until fifty thousand oil and gas pipeline workers "forget"

Wait until the grain silo operators have a "malfunction".

Watch the lines at gasoline stations, because of "difficulties"

Grew up in Northern Virginia. During the anti-war hijinks in the
'60s, the violence and tear gas in Washington were rampant. I
felt sorry for the DC Police. Having to deal with a bunch of
immature brats must have been a real strain. Remember, when the
draft disappeared, so did most of the anti-war movement. The
protesters today were peaceful except for a miniscule minority.
Of course, how dare anyone disagree with the Messiah. I forgot.

Interesting to note that those arrested were left wingers
protesting Lieberman's siding with the GOP over the healthcare
debate. They were not a part of the other demonstration. The left
gets arrested for a disruption while the right gathers to talk
peacefully to their elected representatives.
