Bigger Than The 9/12 Rally?

And the failure in math from the right begins:

After the 9/12 march on Washington, conservatives falsely claimed that over a million people attended, when in reality the closest thing to an official count — numbers given by the Washington DC Fire Department to ABCNews.com — placed the crowd at “approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people.” Though today’s anti-health care reform rally has been much more sparsely attended, that hasn’t stopped conservatives from inflating the numbers again. On G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show today, producer Franklin Raff, who was on the ground at the rally, told guest host Joseph Farah that the crowd is “just as big or bigger than” the 9/12 rally, which Raff estimated “at about a million.”

Capital Hill Police are estimating it at 4,000, and here is a nice aerial photo of the crowd today:

You really have to feel bad for the women married to these wingnuts. I guess they get told every night that 2 inches equals a foot.
