9-12 protesters fake DC photos
"It was an impressive crowd," he said. But after marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol the crowd "only filled the Capitol grounds, maybe up to Third Street," he said.
Yet the photo showed the crowd sprawling far beyond that to the Washington Monument, which is bordered by 15th and and 17th Streets.
There's another big problem with the photograph: it doesn't include the National Museum of the American Indian, a building located at the corner of Fourth St. and Independence Ave. that opened on Sept. 14, 2004. (Looking at the photograph, the building should be in the upper right hand corner of the National Mall, next to the Air and Space Museum.) That means the picture was taken before the museum opened exactly five years ago. So clearly the photo doesn't show the "tea party" crowd from the Sept. 12 protest.
"I've seen bigger crowds at Montreal Expos games, but I still wouldn't fake a photo just to justify your predictions of millions descending on Washington," said one gleeful Democratic media strategist. "This is grade-A stupid and just plays into the argument that these were astroturf protests to begin with. They've always brought the noise, but the question that was supposed to be answered this weekend was, could they bring the numbers? In that respect this was an unmitigated disaster."
The photo had been circulated on blogs and Twitter. A number of conservative blogs have since taken the photo down. Some have corrected their posts. Others say the circulation of the picture was a left-wing conspiracy to discredit the event. However, many of them are still claiming that at least a million people attended the march. Nate Silver estimates about 70,000 protesters showed up.
It isn't the first failed attempt by the protesters to inflate the size of the event. On Saturday, organizer Matt Kibbe announced on stage that ABC News had estimated a crowd of 1 to 1.5 million. ABC News had reported no such thing.

HMMMMM lets let the media answer ur question. About 450 people showed up for the obama rally that is on the front page of every newspaper today. 450 people. And id bet that over 50% were union members paid to be there.
So 200 people are front page news but YOU cant seem to understand how well over a million is even newsworthy.........Do u work for MSNBC?
hHere your sister network USATODAYObama has a graph showing the estimated crowd for the induction into slavery ceremony....Strangely im still searching their site for a simular graph for yesterday
Now provided you can physically see, i know about your mental handicapp and im deeply regretful if you suffer the same disability in the real world....You should be able to see plainly that the crowd was very close to induction numbers ....You wont see it ofcourse but im just saying...
