Huge Anti-Obama Protest March In Washington

As many as 2-million people protesters marched to the Capitol in Washington Saturday. That number is quoted in the British Independent.

Hmm. ABC News puts the crowd at "60,000 to 70,000", CBS News says "Tens of thousands", CNN says "Thousands", MSNBC says "Thousands". And yet the British media reports "as many as 2-million".

That huge number may have come from the Democrats.

"It's an old political tactic to get out in front and make wild projections and when they're not met, claim their opponents don't have the juice," said Pete Sepp, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, one of the organizers of the rally.

If the 2-million number is anywhere near correct, and it could be, there were more people protesting Obama today than showed up for his inauguration.

No matter, an extremely significant number of Americans showed up in Washington Saturday to protest Barack Obama and his government.

Update: 2-Million or just "thousands"? Some people who were there have done some arithmetic on square footages and security cam images. 2-Million is too high. But there were likely 750,000. That's impressive by any standard.

Update 2: Lots more pictures here. Apparently the some people on the left are downplaying the numbers (quelle surprise) and some are even are trying to claim the whole thing was faked.
