The Teabaggers Numbers Picture is a fake!
The photo that is circulating around to show the numbers of teabaggers is a fake.

It was taken from the Promise Keepers march that was held in 1997.

If the picture were real, it would include the National Museum of the American Indian, a building located at the corner of Fourth Street and Independence Avenue that opened on Sept. 14, 2004. That building is missing.

There is your chuckle for the day.

1. Has anyone noticed
that nobody was arrested and sent to concentration camps this weekend? What's up with that? I thought we were living in a worker's paradise.

3. Some actual photos and comments from 9-12
Link to a Flickr account <http://www.flickr.com/emjem1963> taken by someone actually there. Any large crowd shots of the Mall that day were of the Black Family Reunion; large white tents were set up down toward the Smithsonian.
The freepers were permitted to use only the West Lawn of the Capitol, around the reflecting pool, perhaps some spillover around 3rd St. Maybe 60K tops, IMO. Just one look at those losers makes me almost sad, that there are such fools literally getting fat on the Beck/Malkin kool-aid BS.

6. Not desperation...
...they are merely continuing what they have been taught by their masters; namely, if you repeat the lie often enough, enough people will believe it that it will become its own truth.

Sadly, this tactic seems to work more often than not.

It's why we still have prominent people like Michelle Malkin who continue to make the claim that there were 2 million people there, long after it has been debunked.

Facts do NOT matter to these people. Facts are their enemy. Truth is their enemy. They recognize that, and it's why they are so glib with their lies.

How the fuck can anyone have a reasoned discussion about actual issues when people are so dishonest.
