9/12 Protest Count - Accuracy Counts

Huge hat tip to Left Coast Rebel, as he's the first I saw with this posted. Well done, sir.

Here's a well explained breakdown of the numbers in attendance at a number of Washington, D. C. events, including the 9/12 Protest of 2009.

Zac Moilanen at Indiana University has concluded an approximate 1,782,760 attendees.

And we've only just begun.

Thanks Soloman for the plug, I'm trying to get this out as much as possible....

I also put this on TRS with a link back to LCR. This is astounding!

All - I spent a short time on HuffPo this afternoon and posted the primary link from Scribd - I instantly was told that I was citing "right-wing blogs" and there's no way this event surpassed BHO's inaguration.

They're testy on this one...

The liberal emotional response of 10,000 people is a lot more palatable to them that 1.7 million, which seems to be in line with what I saw, etc. Of course MSNBC will stick with their 10,000 number.

They may have more difficulty manipulating the votes now that ACORN won't be counting them anymore.

LL - or, they may have trouble just getting the votes, period - since they're obviously so arrogant and condescending - two qualities that don't sit well with prospective voters...

This is a great explanation of how many protesters attended the march. It was an amazing and awesome experience, as I attended the march. I have more pictures to post of the March in D.C., so I will either just post both your and LCR's links to the analysis of the count, or will post the count analysis with both your links(h/t).

Great Post, Solomon! I had guessed almost 2 million myself! The truth is worth 1000,0000 words, and the PICS say it all!
Thanks for this. MSM should pick this up!

Soloman said...

Teresa - as I know LCR said - just keep getting the word out!!!
