| #11 Well, Danielle, it looks like your definition of 'ordinary folk' is going to have to be refined. You are hereby sentenced to 48 months at UC-Berkeley. |

| #10 And Axelrod said the "right-wing" protestors weren't reflective of the nation. Look like ordinary folk to me. |

| #9 Not Sarah Palin? I'm not pushing (or dissing) her, just curious whether people still see her as a politician or if she's become something else. |

| #8 Uh, I guess, with the possible exception of Joe Wilson. |

| #5 Curious at the lack of photos from high elevation or aircraft showing the whole crowd (while 'security' was probably the excuse there have been photos of other events, and at least three helicptors were seen overhead - though that may have included Obama's flight.) The closest thing I have seen is the shot at this site from the Capitol steps. Area covered is comparable to gatherings of something shy of one million, but big swaths of lawn are empty - presumably roped off by authorities for some reason, with the ropes obeyed(!) Don't know when the pictures were taken, and thus whether more showed up or had already left, but with this evidence I personally would guess a crowd on the order of a half million (with a big error bar), but clearly neither 2 million nor 70,000. |

| #2 I recommend a long hot shower and drinking lots of water, Cornsilk Blondie. It's important to detox after exposure to such thoughts. |

| #1 Yep, that looks like 10k or so people, give or take 50. And there's a hella lot Obama=Hitler signs complete with swastikas, Lyndon LaRouchies, Nirthers and Ron Paul freaks. You can tell because they are well dressed. Oh, and every single last one of them is racist, too. (All right, I'm done channeling LGF's Charles Johnson/DailyKos/DU/Pelosi & Reid for the day....) |
