WARNING: This is a progressive left moonbat posting on Media Matters. What really caught my eye was the claim that only 100,000 or so people showed up at the Washington DC march. What kind of glue are these guys sniffing? I distinctly remember a DC park’s person saying he couldn’t ever remember such a large crowd before!

Here’s the story:

Tea Party protests continue to grow, retroactively

Over the weekend, Instapundit’s Gleen Reynold unccorked the claim that over the past twelves months “millions of Americans” had taken to the streets to protest the Obama administration. The problem? Rather than millions, the actually number is probably in the low six-figures.

Oops.

But mere facts have never stopped Glenn Beck, of course. So yesterday he endorsed the Reynolds fabrication and wallowed in the wonder of the “millions and millions of tea party people” who protested last year.

Punchline: Beck made the phony crowd claim while critiquing the New York Times’ supposedly inaccurate Tea Party reporting!

UPDATED: Also last night on Fox News, Tea Party organizer Karin Hoffman eagerly spread more falsehoods about protests, claiming 1.7 million people showed up in D.C. last September. According to official crowd estimates by D.C. officials, that number misses the mark by 1.6 million. [DC officials never said any such thing -- emphasis mine]

Please note, the Tea Party movement is now building itself around an obvious, and provable, lie. Will the press ever point that out? [so this liberal is worried about the Press pointing out a lie -- more Koolaide anyone? -- emphasis mine]

Here dip-head: take a look at this cell-phone “live” photo. Tell me only 100,000 showed up? This was taken on the main rally day.. the police were closing down incoming roads because of overcrowding. You didn’t see this on your puny Media Matters website or even FoxNews. The MSM wouldn’t even cover the event.

DC march 912

    It occured to me that the radical left should be nicknamed “Bagdad Bob” after the infamous Iraqi Information Minister who became the world’s laughing stock because of his hilarious statements and denial of truth. I, too, was there for the 9/12 march and I know the truth. I had heard that 2 million people had registered to attend the event. I spoke to lots of people there who didn’t even know about registration. They just showed up. It was an awesome event and I am ready to go again and I don’t prefer crowds, but that was such a wonderful group of Americans. God Bless America!

    I was there, a Polic Officer said arround 2 million, said he had never seen such a large Polite crowd.

  3. speedy Says:

    I read on the conservative monster web site that bo attached the health care debacle to the budget so that they only need 51 votes to pass it. Bo that criminal really has to go. He needs to be impeached or forced to resign, whatever. He is so evil.

  4. Gumply Says:

    Thanks Bob for putting the picture up. It is a great remembrance.

  5. Follow the Constitution Says:

    LOL. They want to reduce the count from around 2 million to only a 100k. That is 20 times less than the real number. I say drive the libs nuts and multiply the real number by 20 times and watch their heads explode!!! LOL

    So for now on, reference the tea party gathering in DC as being 40 million marched on DC! LOL

    Then they can cut that by 20 times to get to the real number that was there.

  6. william Says:

    Yes ,I would say that anyone who hasn’t degraded to room temperature will know and understand what millions of patriots already understand and I must really thank all the posters who let their ideas be known because for each idea put forward it fires up others to start questioning exactly
    what the truth is.This “truth” takes a life of its’ own and real change is inevitable.cheers

  7. Libby Says:

    I remember the New York Times slide show coverage of this. ALL of the photos they had were at street level — the most crowded photo had maybe 15 or 20 people — most were closeups of individuals.

    They tried to portray it as about the size of a family picnic.

    Could you please respond if you joined the site below, which you posted a couple of days ago & if so we need to find out exactly how to contact this group - there is no full name or email address. The sound is off on our computer so we cannot listen to the radio broadcast.

    But, it’s a lot easier for the media to marginalize and ridicule one hundred thousand as opposed to two million! Actually, they should not be doing it to even one (well, maybe THE ONE!). It’ll be interesting to see the coverage (or lack of it) at the upcoming Columbia Trial in May!

  11. Greg Goss Says:

    I was there and I reported on it. http://gwgjlm.blogspot.com/2009/09/dc-rally-from-ground.html

  12. Susu Says:

    Thanks for the pic. I did not attend the Tea Party; mainly because I learned of it after the fact. However, I was working in Fairfax, VA when Clinton had his 1st inauguration. Anyone remember the Democratic Party’s Reunion on the Mall? I attended that on Sunday before Clinton’s inauguration. The official crowd estimate for that day was 500,000 people. I can truthfully say just from that pic that the Tea Party was at least 4 times more people than the Reunion on the Mall in 1992.

    Just fill out the short form and submit. It could take a while to hear anything as they said they have had THOUSANDS signing up and have not been able to respond right away. I still have not heard anything.

  14. Braveheart Says:

    #10 FTC - thank you. We were surprised there is no full name, email address to contact them. Do they give full names or a way to contact on Radio Broadcast?

    We were very excited to see this group claims to have Joint Chief’s & above approval (Secretary of Defense) & praying our U.S. mititary were going to finally remove the imposter but usurper gang would have been warned by this going public - which leads us to believe this could possibly be a peaceful group under usurper gang. NOT GOOD! NOBODY IN THAT GANG IS PEACEFUL!

    Lamestream media made sure all these massive marches on D.C. do not show the word USURPER obama or even the name soetoro/obama & LSM has been working hard to make sure the public NEVER gets the FULL TRUTH. That is how they were able to keep we The tiny “Fringe” group of we “birthers” aka “birfers”, astroturfer’s, etc. from spreading the truth - it took millions of “we the people” one long year of constant work.

    Photos show the truth without words.

    This commie regime have been in “damage control” mode since our TINY “FRINGE” GROUP EXPANDED IN MASS.

    Bravehart,

    I have not seen the declaration they drafted. Each State has assemblies and only the leaders of the assemblies have seen it so far. They said they are keeping a tight rap on the declaration because they don’t want that out all over the net yet. I think they are wanting to get everyone on board in each State first. They need a minimum of a 100 signatures from each State in order to proceed. The 100 signatures is required by the military from what I heard and the military told them what things they have to have in the declaration.

    I do not know what the plan is for Obama, but from what I did hear the grand jury from each State with military going with them will go to each State governors office and give the governor 3 days to either swear an oath to defend and uphold the original constitution OR resign and step down OR they will be back in 3 days and arrest them.

    They said everyone signing on will be able to read the declaration first and decide whether to sign it or not.

    The guardian elders are Sam Kennedy, Tim Turner, Regan Dwayne, and Tom Schaults.

  16. Follow the Constitution Says:

    Oh, and if the governor agrees to stay on and take the oath they will be required to boot the federal corporations out of the State.

    I can’t thank you enough for posting this link! I am rejuvinated in spirit again after reading everything on thier site. I’ve always felt God would reveal his plan at some point before the nation was “HOPE and CHANGED” beyond recognition. I stand in fervent prayer that this is it!

    It seems we not only live in perilous times, we also live in exciting times, as I can see this plan as one that will actually work and work quickly and quietly to restore constitutional law to our nation…

    I just signed up as a juror and am excited to serve in any capacity. I only wish there was more information on the site but I understand the need to keep this low key at this juncture in time.

    As prior service military and an Oathkeeper to boot, I am ready for the peaceful restoration of the sovereignty of the people and individual republics.

    For the Republic!

  23. SilverStreak Says:

    James,

    The number one item the earlier Tea Party Patriots site was the Fair Tax by 2 to 1.

    Then,it suddenly disappears and the website was reworked for what seems to be a flat tax.

    Neal Boortz grilled a lady from CFA on his show about why the Fair Tax was removed.

    She couldn’t answer the question and promised ask the sites founder Ryan Hecker why the Fair Tax was removed.

    http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2010/02/what-happened-to-the-fairtax.html

    I still agree with CFA on the other issues but I wonder why Ryan Hecker would ignore thousands of people in favor of a different agenda.

  24. Truther1 Says:

    Oh my gosh, this gives me chills! I’m excited and a little nervous but am praying that this is the answer we’ve been waiting for!!!

    Thank you for the link and God Bless America!!!!

  25. Truther1 Says:

    So what do you all make of all the police resigning?? Can’t be a coincidence, can it?? Now I’m getting scared. Yikes!

  26. Follow the Constitution Says:

    Forget the fairtax and flat tax. They are just another tax fraud. Do you know where your tax dollars really go???

    This new republic will do away with the fed and IRS. There will be NO MORE TAXES!!!

    We do NOT need a personal income tax. It was the biggest fraud on the people. 100% of every penny collected by the IRS from the people is used to pay interest only on a money scam by the federal reserve.

    The ONLY thing congress has authority to tax is alcohol, tabacco and firearms. It more than enough to pay to run the government once it is restored back to what it is suppose to be.

    All our tax dollars go over seas in the pockets of private bankers, the vatican and the queen.

  27. Follow the Constitution Says:

    Truther1,

    No it isn’t a coincidence. Something is up. Police Cheifs resigning out of the blue in mass numbers, CEO/CFO’s resigning in mass numbers around the world, senators and congress people saying they aren’t running for another term, etc.

    Some speculate martial law coming, but no one knows for certain. Anyone in towns where police cheif’s resigned should try to find out from those guys why they resigned IF they will tell the truth.

  28. Truther1 Says:

    Thank you FTC. I was afraid that was going to be your answer. :( Now I’m really worried. Time to buy more guns and ammo and stock up on food and water. Lord help us all!

  29. Bob Snyder Says:

    Truther1,

    You should really go and listen to the two broadcasts at: http://www.guardiansofthefreerepublics.com/broadcasts.html and your fears may diminish rapidly…trust me!

    Here is an email that was sent out by Sam Kennedy

    From Sam Kennedy

    Hello folks,

    People continue to flock to The Restore America Plan across the country in droves, offering to help, join, coordinate – whatever they can do to bring the remedy to EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, and to our children and grandchildren in every town and city and hamlet across the nation. People sense (and some are aware of) the urgency, and not without for good reason (see next paragraph). Some have offered to fly across the country to organize other republics. Thousands have contacted us by email (apologies for not responding individually) . Hundreds have written personal statements as to why they have finally sworn off fear and fear-mongerers. It is safe to say, the People understand that The Restore America Plan is a momentous event in world history. The end of the era of illicit corporations posing as legitimate governments. We canNOT afford to fail.

    Your devotion to freedom is already bearing fruit. Those of you with high level contacts know that I am not exaggerating when I say that the Declaration is being anticipated favorably at the highest levels of world government including the Scarlet City. Your contacts can also confirm the need for urgency as a string of specific events unfolds worldwide. Those in power have concluded that their system WILL collapse and we, the sovereign People, are the last chance to set things straight. Oh how the tables have turned. So while we respect all those fine patriots who are following other approaches and remedies (and even those who are looking for defects in ours), the fact is: THERE IS NO TOMORROW.

    Yes and there is also a solid plan to reach every sheriff in the country…I’m anxious to see how that goes over with my county sheriff…LOL!

    By the way, I served my county sheriff and our state SG with AGJ presentments and neither bothered to reply…this is in a town with a population of 9000.

    Truther1,

    I expect ours will respond well also because he is a good man just a fearful Democrat at this point.

    Finally I can breath a sigh of relief and just wait for a phone call.

    Obama & Co. is going to find out that there are a lot more warriors for Christ in America than they think.

    Not a Christian nation indeed…think again. God has a plan and everything happens for a reason.

    #30 FTC & Sam Kennedy -

    We joined without hesitation IMMEDIATELY after reading through the site - then realized there was no contact info & wanted to make sure this was a legitimate site. We rationalized some highly intelligent individuals had put serious energy & time into this project, which eased our tense moments.

    We also passed your site to several patriotic contacts. Millions of true patriotic Americans are ready to STAND UNITED for the call of DUTY to protect our God given rights - The GREAT CONSTITUTION, which Americans RESPECT & HONOR! THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE & THE BILL OF RIGHTS. FREEDOM!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS OUR U.S. TROOPS!

  38. Bob Snyder Says:

    Not trying to plug my web site but I wanted to let some of you know I have a site that has private messaging and a fully configurable forum with comment sections on every article.

    I have not been able to get anyone to join and I thought it would be a good place for some of AGJ’s members to get together and discuss the issues in this thread privately and discuss other issues openly.

    I invite and welcome anyone to join. Just use the “Register” link at the top right under the sign-in and I will approve your registration after you aknowledge the email.

    I don’t send out any emails or nags and you can close your account any time you like.

    Click on my name in any of these posts to go to the site.

    Thanks, and I look forward to talking to some of you about this great new development.

    Just something to consider…

    I was there too. I knew about the name-calling and wondered what new derogatory name the MSM would have for us. They called us “nonexistent.” Novel idea, but “Nonexistent” then turned around and won three elections. And BO and the Democrats just don’t get it. lol

    Republicans used Reconciliation to lower taxes. It was the right thing the wrong way. Now the Democrats want to use it to raise taxes. They think if they just keep telling us how wonderful they are, we will listen as they furtively force it upon us.

  42. Sharon Ark Says:

    Cheers to the ‘awesome’ Tea Parties. Our numbers are growing, regardless of how many showed up in D C. For each one that attended, there is at least one or two more of the same mind. They will be surprised come November. We have to keep the momentum going. In that light, we need to protect one another and show them we are not mobsters or plane crashers. We stand on the Constitution by which this great nation was founded. I will continue to gain knowledge of the ‘truths’ out there and send them along on our website to all who will hear. We are the true Americans. We are the ‘Tea Parties’ of the twenty-first century. And we will get those out of power who tread on the great freedoms supplied to us by a loving, just God. He expects us to fight in a way that is different from the bashing and killing of our enemies. Pray for us and Pray for them as well. Thanks for listening.
