Yeah, because conservatives would never slap the unemployed during a tough economy, except when they refused for 6 weeks to vote to extend unemployment benefits.

I apologize for my 2500 estimate from my vantage point across the street from the Capitol. The Capitol police officer working our sector today said their estimation was 3000. I would have asked the Washington DC police as GADIANTONHUNTER suggested, but they have no jurisdiction. It’s the Capitol Police and the Parks Service and the Parks Service suspended crowd estimations in the mid 90’s. Those of us who, you know, live here are aware of such things. So it was 3000 according to authorities and 40,000-60,000 for the 9/12 march by those same authorities. As far as my public school education, it was Gonzaga High School and George Washington for me. Private and Private.
Just thought I’d set the record straight, there were actually not 2500, but 3000 marchers on Capitol Hill Thursday. And it looked like they had a grand old time misquoting the Constitution, lying about legislation they admitted they had not read and carrying racist signs with jewish corpses and automatic weapons pointing at the President. Somehow Mrs. Milk and Cookies didn’t mention those things in her article above.

That was not a slap to those who were honestly laid off during this tough economy, but rather toward those who would like to keep us there by insisting that they have been wronged by capitalism. Capitalism can’t do wrong or right. It can only provide opportunity for the individual to control his or her own destiny.

I don’t care how many people were there; that means nothing. I wanted to be there, but I work. Most of us who would have liked to have been there have jobs, unlike the liberals who are looking for handouts.

What is going on with the people in this world today?? All of these comments are about the same occurrence, yet the descriptions are as different as night and day!! There are definetily troubled times ahead for our once great country as the populous seems to be divided as never before-not only divided by issues, but divided by the very definition of words like ‘honor’ and ‘integrity’. People log on to this site the same as they do our local blogs, and all of a sudden they have a forum that will post wildly outrageous claims. It is as if no one knows what the TRUTH is any more.

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” II Thessalonians Ch2, vs 11-12

2500 . . . you gotta be kidding me . . . maybe it was the public education you received that has warped your mind regarding math and the ebb and flow of crowds. But being that you have seen many protests and marches I am sure you know better than what was actually counted by the Washington DC police. You rock! Damn, I wish everyone was as alert as you and knew so much. Thank goodness for folks like you who straighten out us rednecks carrying our guns. Even if there were 2500 tops . . . how many were there on 9/12? Nothing special about 1.7 million coming to Washington on a few days notice. Or maybe it was just 1 million . . . hmmm . . . 1 million or 1.7 million . . . or maybe just 500,000 . . . these numbers mean nothing . . . just like the elections last week. But the million man march a decade ago that really brought in a million folks . . . or was it 50,000 . . . damn its hard to count these days . . . maybe that is because you folks in Washington are more use to counting things in the billions and trillions.

No, you were watching CNN reporting on Nancy Pelosi’s book signing tour. Or maybe it was a protest against the former president at his ranch in Texas . . . there were at least a million people at these places, that is why CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC reports them and ignores the other true numbers at the tea party activities. But then again, there were about 1,000 news reporters covering three protestors at the ranch if I remember correctly. You lefties are so two faced and idiotic. It seems you still can’t handle the idea of 1.7 million people crushing Washington DC, especially if they are against Mr. Obama, socialism and the religion of statism. Go ahead, be the hater, make fun of the tsunami that is headed your way. You can not stop it, but maybe your hatred and sarcasm can make you feel better. Good luck with that.

Thank you. By FOX math, we had just under 5 million visitors to the botanical garden Thursday. Air and Space had 56 MILLION. And the Capitals drew 40 million their last home game!
