What was the crowd estimate for Washington today?

I'm having difficulty finding any numbers.

11. I have 300,000,000 viewers in North America alone.

Based on my home being very typical. And I could see hear my republican loafing neighbors yelling "shit" each time the camera showed the crowd.

12. That is a wildly silly number...

There most certainly was not 175-200K at the rally. When an event organizer gives you a turn out total these days, you normally need to divide by 10.

"Preliminary satellite estimates put the crowd size at 175,000 to 200,000 at about noon EST."

Where are these preliminary satellite photos that were used to make this estimate?

3. Fox News has it at "about 3000"

:rofl:

5. And 2,500 were tourists in their eyes.

7. Ha! There was way more than that. nt

8. Thanks.

That gives me my answer for the wingnuts at work tomorrow. "If you believe Fox. From the pictures I saw it looked about the same as the Beck-a-thon." Since they would have to put that at about 150 million I should be OK.

4. 2.5 million.

If the Repub dickwads can smudge the facts, I can too!

13. If we could charge the right and left for lies the national debt would be paid

6. A metric fuckton, give or take a shitload.

9. More than Beck's - and that's all that is important

10. Let's not forget that Fox can doctor the Beck photos too! Or these!
