1 in 2 million! at DC 9-12 Protest

1 in 2 million at DC 9-12 Protest

Washington (SEPTEMBER 12) One black person in the crowd from Third Street to the stage near the steps of the Capitol but the Washington Post ignores this obvious evidence of racism and reports tens of thousands massed to loudly protest President Obamas's race to socialism. To the contrary, video evidence proves that the crowd was NOT massive or loud but mostly scattered and disinterested older protesters with illogical, anti-progressive, anti-Obama messages. Since I was able to walk easily from the very back of the protest to the front of the stage near the Capitol during the middle of the rally, it is doubtful there were even 10,000 people present.

The Washington Post led with headline stories about the protest both on Saturday (9/12/09) and Sunday (9/13/09). Anti-war and other protests during the Bush years never garnered such prominent, lavish attention from the Post so much for the myth of the liberal press.

In addition to the misinformation about the makeup and size of the crowd, the Washington Post falsely reported other aspects of the event. On the video you can hear the sound system clearly behind the back of the crowd on the National Mall, yet the Post reported: Authorities in the District do not give official crowd estimates, but Saturday's throng appeared to number in the many tens of thousands. A sea of people surrounded the Capitol reflecting pool, spilling across Third Street and along the Mall. The sound system did not reach far enough for people at the edges of the rally to hear the speakers onstage.

There are many clues in the Post reporting and in my video that the crowd size was minimal including all of the empty space, green space, only one street closure, and ease of access. I walked from the back to the front in about 30 minutes, stopping to converse and film dozens of protest signs. Watch the video and compare your experiences at crowd events think critically. If you have ever been to a concert or a football game, then you will know for certain that there were not 20,000 or 30,000 people present at the 9-12 Tea Party Protest. Deceptive media outlets and personalities everywhere reported up to 2 million in attendance (Rush Limbaugh). Hey Mom, I guess that makes me 1 in 2 million!

The deceptive or careless misrepresentations by the Washington Post and other media outlets mock the protesters that went before the 9-12 Tea Party. They filled block after block of the National Mall, shoulder to shoulder, shout to shout, but received scant attention comparatively before, during and after. Mainstream media today leans right and cannot be trusted to report rather than promote news or even provide basic facts accurately.

Typical lib, I've seen other photos of that day, and what, you think you can get away with this BS. You have been totally debunked. You are a liar and you show nothing but your hatred for this country.

@archcon3

[LoveLivingLiberty]

People come by their own prompting, You said get way more people at this rally? Its funny that you say that when you were not there, I would bet on that! Got alot to say don't you Obaaama sheep!

Just watch as we approach 2012 and just see what happens. This is the gathering that unites, not fights! So your going to get a few nutts, there in every system and organization,period!

Wake up already quit drinking the floride and allowing the flicker rate to psyops your brain.

This is a fantastic movie, I viewed it online for free in HD at: WATCHMOVIES4FREE |.| ORG

ha ha ha At least we dont have to pay for people to protest like the left did. I saw an ad on craigs list paying 8 dollars an hour to show up at a pro health care rally. The thing never got off the ground.

LOL. 75 thousand. that's ridiculous. If that's the case, there were 50 thousand at the innauguration. This is an idiotic video. There was no permit for the mall. So there was plenty of space on the mall. Secondly, Michelle Malkin doesn't have expertise in crowd estimations, others do though. The university studies show 1.5m on the short side.

[Serafinos]

Still off the wall, aren't you?

In fact -- the guy videoing doesn't even get up to where the crowd is. Look how far he is from the actual tea party. He's blocks from the stage, too. He's CLUELESS!

[jensen1901]

The grid confirms nothing. That is one retard at one crappy school's flawed study. Matt Kibbie, the /president of Freedom Works, who organized the rally, apologized to ABC in a statement for falsely citing them with the 1.5 million number.
