Glenn beck said that "I went to get some numbers checked professionally and according to the university of..i don't know, there was 1.7m people there"

The very highest estimates are 2m, the minimum is 70k, and most commonly the estimate according to other professionals was 800k. Additionally, there was another rally there that day of some 40-70k people.

And that refutes the point? Don't understand that logic, but ok. Guess you wouldn't care anyway.

Yeah, after critics came down on him. I can't find the EP where he talks about it for the first time.

*Sigh* Dude, your arguement is only diverting south.  You have the estimate from 70k (lol) to 2.3 million (no way) and anyone who's not a liberal blogger basically figured the estimate of 1-1.5 mil is the most plausable.   What point am I refuting? That 40-70k different crowd make up the difference of a mil+ march on washington or is this another "smear" to just put the whole "I wouldn't care anyway" gambit that's doing nothing for your side of the arguement?

70k is the estimate of the parks service, (yes these guys aren't nowhere near close)

2m is rush limbaugh estimate or something (again nowhere near close)

1.7 is the glenn beck estimate (nowhere near close)

and 800k is the majority of professional counters. I already said that, why are you acting like I didn't? (That's a rhetorical quesiton btw).

The 40-70k other marchers are between 5-8.5% of that total 800k number.

Whatever, this is a really trivial thing to argue about. He was wrong, but nobody cares how many people were there anyway, I certainly don't.

 

And yeah, you don't care. You don't care about the "astroturf" groups even though there are extensive links proving them. And you don't care because of nancy pelosi.
