    Yep... all those Americans who have seen it, read it, and know it for what it is... they're all dining room tables.

    You and excon keep believing that. You keep running with that. You guys make sure that the DNC keeps running with that too.

    THESE dining room tables vote.

    I guess the other 67% of the public that is against Obamacare doesn't count.

    Lol yesterday the President claimed on 60 Minutes that the shouting was more interesting than the policy wonkery coming out of the "civil " debate and that is why the Dems are losing the debate .

    Then David Axelrod claimed the town halls and tea parties were distractions to be ignored .

    I'm sure King George III had similar advisors.

    By the way The London Daily Mail estimated that there were 2 million loud dining room tables in Washington Saturday .

    He doesn't know. He's just GUESSING that the numbers were wrong by trying to compare pictures...

    His claim in the other thread was a ridiculously low "100,000".

    Protest Crowd Size Estimate Falsely Attributed to ABC News - ABC News
    Quote:

    ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 to 70,000 protesters, attributed to the Washington, D.C. fire department. In its reports, ABC News Radio described the crowd as "tens of thousands."

    Yeah ABC news . Did they have their anchor cover it live ? No Did any of the dinosaurs ? No . The DC Metro regularly puts on extra trains for large events .But instead they announced they would close stations if they became too crowded. Most of the Sunday shows only gave it brief mention . But they covered Cindy Sheehad's vigil and tent city circus in Texas all summer when Bush was President. So sure I trust their numbers...

    The numbers are from the fire department. Reading comprehension is important.

    Sorry don't buy it. 70,000 would fit in Giants Stadium. This crowd went back to the Washington Monument

    - can you link me to where the first picture comes from please?

    - the second picture is from WorldNetDaily and looks incredibly doctored. WND would not be a repuatble sit at all.

    - the third picture is indexed as being from April 2009.
