50. Actually, yes I think you are lying. Or really poor at estimation.
Although I was not there, I did see extensive footage from it on TV this afternoon, and no way did it look like a crowd of hundreds of thousands, let alone a million or more. So you've seen some big crowds before and we should just trust your judgment? Well, so have I and this didn't look like anything like the size you are claiming. I'll rely more on a helicopter shot, thanks. My seat of the pants guess was 75-125,000.

Even Fox news is describing it as 'tens of thousands': http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/12/tea-party-express-arrives-march-washington-protest-government-spending/ But I guess they're trying to play down the numbers because they are lockstep liberals.
